The country dig deeper into caves. Under very good morning to you thanks for joining us here on r. T. International. The Russian Interior Ministry has confirmed several arrests of strikes and demonstrations have gripped the country is what some of. Both those for and against the president looked like. Thank you. Yes. I. I know. The situation in our country is very serious we are against unrest in our country i want to say one thing i stand here preval or is our president we do not condemn the Christian Cross opinions for the position so why should they condemn the us. I. I came here to support the protest because the only way to win is to keep getting out and to keep showing our disagreement with the results of the election or is this im here to show solidarity with my people as i also want changes the dictatorship that has lasted for 26 years has finally been weakened and our country is now moving in and democratic direction the oppositions Coordination Council for the transfer of power in berlin reese held its 1st meeting on tuesday and this council promises to maintain friendly mutually beneficial relations with the new russia and ukraine and also criticizes the role of the Security Forces in governing belarus president though a slum that council is nothing but an illegal attempt to seize power. While a number of Foreign Countries have challenge local schenk is legitimate he is president rejecting the Election Results in use confirmed this drawing up sanctions against the russian officials who were suspected of Election Fraud and violence against protesters in 10 hawkins delves into why the former soviet republic has drawn so much international attention. Just a fortnight ago many western viewers may have barely heard of belarus that will change the thousands pall over the streets in protest over the disputed president ial election its the countrys geography which between its big east the neighbor europe sees the interests of International Players intertwine and clash. Officially the e. U. Is this mr. Sions is neither free nor fair. As persona non grata and already begun drawing up new sanctions lists citing Human Rights Violations in the wake of Police Violence closer to start number were told e. U. Why discussions on sanctions against those responsible for Human Rights Violations how these sanctions will be organized and whether there will be further restrictive measures depends on the further actions of the bully russian authorities. Condemnation was perhaps predictable but theres no shared view of what comes next the Baltic States and poland have been the loudest critics of looking while hungary has stopped short of outright but ill see ation others still have sought a balancing act the e. U. Cant turn a blind eye neither can it risk having it be stabilized neighbor state on their doorstep and confrontations with moscow a longtime ally of minsk are getting tiresome. So its no surprise putin has been busy on the phone holding talks with merkel macro and the European Council chief we all see russia as an actor that can help influence or regulate the situation a better roofs is russias closest historical alloy a vital economic and military partner and a buffer zone against nato over recent years have seen their relationship strained to say the least nevertheless moscow would surely rather put up with a look of shame goes over to yours that the west and risk chaos on its borders the russian side emphasized that any attempt at external interference in the internal affairs of belarus which could lead to a further escalation of the crisis would be an acceptable. For many years but it doesnt exactly been a top priority for the United States in 2006 they slap sanctions on minsk for you guessed it undemocratic elections and in 2008 the countrys expelled each others ambassadors but earlier this year. Things began to change for the 1st time since 1904 minutes got a visit from the u. S. Secretary of state. Generously offered to meet all of energy needs and extended a helping hand the United States wanted to help the reuss build its own sovereign country this leaves washington with. Should they carry on befriending look who may be interested or put their bets on the opposition and its the uncertainty in minsk one thing is clear washington has its own interest in belarus the possibility of another u. S. Friendly state on russias border could be a game changer and as protests grow in a country suddenly thrown into the International Limelight and with multiple interests at stake all actors involved hold their breath as they play out their next move the opinion is to hold an emergency summit over the political crisis in delivery so little later on wednesday responded based in berlin peter oliver previous it. The Virtual Summit which will get underway to around noon brussels time will see leaders dial in Via Video Conference germany holds the rotating presidency of the European Union right now when chancellor Angela Merkel held talks over the phone with russian president Vladimir Putin heading into this summit and which its important for the e. U. To speak with one voice. Today as spoke with russian president putin and made it clear once again that freedom of expression and the right to demonstrate must be guaranteed that prisoners must be released and that there must be a National Dialogue to settle things peacefully in belarus we will continue to discuss this to more love in the morning but thats a huge lift the way mia and poland have been particularly vocal in their support for the opposition in belarus said lana ticket of sky is in selfimposed exile in lithuania and she said that the e. U. Should make a statement rejecting the recent election in bella bruce this is taken place right now in the. Hero i call on you not to recognize this fraud when elections. Mr has lost all the legitimacy in the eyes of our nation and the wall but theres a balancing act to play for the e. U. Alexander lukashenko has already claiming that foreign interference is behind the only rest in the country and in fact hes put the military on standby because of it this. Statements have been made very some western countries who dont even know where bill is and have no idea what is happening here but nevertheless they make these statements we have reacted to this and deployed combat army units on our western borders and have brought them to full combat readiness. So what can we expect coming out of where these days of solitude we can expect clarification on who will be targeted by e. U. Commission sanctions most likely its going to be belorussians curity forces and election authorities could also expect a statement of support for the opposition however for now at least the e. U. Will be looking to tread lightly. Hes in europe specially spend iris police at the crisis is a major concern for both russia and the e. U. A few days ago a look at. The kremlin and said that he was going to ask whos in for support this suggestion was that the percent was reaching out d to the russians or d in a significant force the riot police spear troops in order to quell the process by brute force and its raised the question will russia invades. That ownership where theres been a lot of speculation navy terms of people to follow the situation closely and that idea has been pretty written off putin is unlikely to do that and the veteran population has actually warm the image of russia and see them as friends and they fought so hard to oust look the shanker that if person came in and crushed the. Demonstrations by force and kept the percent go in office by force then the entire population with then suddenly turn against russia and putin and then youd end up with another ukraine situation which the kremlin doesnt want so because of these fears youve got macron and merkel d reaching out the e. U. Has been very aggressive they said theyve warned russia that there should be no overt or covert interference in the domestic policies under the threat of facing new new extremely quote unquote heavy sanctions if its seen to do that but i think it is going to come back with exactly the same argument in fact and he did say explicitly that there should be no west in in the domestic politics that. The u. S. Democrats have officially nominated joe biden for president in a virtual vote during day 2 the partys Virtual Convention despite efforts to attract Younger Voters with a star studded lineup for some of the event is proving a bit of a bore. Without a doubt it will be the most boring repetitive told meanspirited convention in history of. The d. N. C. So far feels like one long have to usually skip. This convention so far makes me think the democrats are the party ready to lead america into the. Party crowd im dying which means that it is good for casting which. 2 in the meantime both democrats and republicans are making abreast of Campaign Promises including about American Military interventions and says he wants to see an end to the wars. Theres a lot to be desired on culture explains. Donald trumps surprising 2016 election victory had a lot to do with one golden promise and americas endless wars i am proposing a new Foreign Policy focused on advancing americas korda show interest to avoid endless wars that were caught up in the current strategy of toppling regimes with no plan for what to do the day after only produces power vacuums that are filled simply by terrorists we now know he didnt deliver on his promise but Many Americans still long for that away says of peace and in 2020 the opposition understands this all too well democrats know its time to bring nearly 2 decades of unceasing conflict to an end and left wing right wing it doesnt even matter polls are showing that 3 out of 4 americans want troops withdrawn from afghanistan and half of them want to see cuts to the military budget when it comes to u. S. Foreign policy the vast majority of americans are fed up with never ending war and yet the democrats are supporting joe biden as their candidate a man with a track record of supporting conflicts. Lets start from 2002 when joe biden jumped right on the weapons of mass destruction bandwagon and supported the us invasion of iraq we clearly be more secure without Saddam Hussein in position of weapons of mass destruction almost 5000 american soldiers dead thousands more iraqi civilians killed a catalyst for the rise of the Islamic State i wouldnt say any of that fits into most peoples definition of peace and security in the minds and. Were. Not happy. There are no you know. As Barack Obamas v. P. Biden cheered on americas longest war in afghanistan he called it a success and promised to bring the troops home that strategy is succeeding and as a consequence the president is making good on his commitment to bring our young men and women home right on schedule well here we are 2020 and so little has changed it just goes to show Us Operations in afghanistan are more about dysfunction than success what are we trying to do here we didnt have the foggiest notion of what we were undertaking if the American People knew the magnitude of these dysfunction syria libya pakistan yemen the list of countries that were bombed while joe biden was Vice President is very long so are we supposed to believe that hes going to put an end to years of endless war you decide well biden was there he was in the room where it happened as you say he was there for 8 years of obama so he cant divorce and so through obamas warmongering policy pretty rich for the democrats to pretend now that theyre the peace part of the because we had 8 years of president obama starting more wars i think than any president in decades before hand before him more drone strikes more bombings more killings under president obama hope it was all for everyones own good when in fact just last month when President Trump announced he wants to remove 12000 troops from or you want to remove troops from afghanistan the Democratic Party that controls the house actually teamed up with liz cheney daughter of dick cheney to try to block and they actually passed legislation to try to prevent the end of the longest war in u. S. History so for them to now say we want to end endless wars it really is a farce who knows that the voters will buy us thats nonsense. To a developing. Story now the organizers of the military mutiny in mali say that they will hold fresh elections and uphold all International Agreements really the countrys president appeared on state t. V. Announcing his resignation as of the he was detained on tuesday during a military revolt boubacar said that the decision to leave power would avoid bloodshed in his country. I would like to inform you of my decision to resign from my position with immediate effect and with all the legal consequences this entails the dissolution of the National Assembly and of the government. 2 thirds uprising began with a shootout at the kind of military camp close to the Capital Group of soldiers detained the Senior Officers were marching on by mco and still when the president s residence he made to me was swiftly condemned by the African Union the e. U. And the head of the un neighboring countries and close the borders calling for sanctions against revolutionaries follows several months of protests in mali so the opposition demand the president s present nation over corruption allegations and a deteriorating security situation. The story joe horn claims that the roots of malis latest insurrection can be traced right back to nato intervention in libya 9 years ago. This coup accept basically a result of the 2000. Tragic overthrow and murder of more market off the libya engineer by the United States of america and its nato allies particularly britain france that food and murder of gadhafi led to a leakage of tons of weapons into neighboring mali which got into the hands of religious zealots who call themselves muslims who since that time have been waging a brutal and bitter war against the soldiers involved been killed as a result this in turn has led to a French Military intervention backed by the United States of america and its also hoped that sooner we can rest the instability this might be on the verge of seizing power in public oh which could have a negative knock on effects throughout the neighboring not least in. Any. U. S. Senate Intelligence Committee accuses the. Democratic party in 26 states bringing the story to the. Join me every thursday on the alex simon show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business im showbusiness ill see that. The u. S. Senate Intelligence Committee has released the final part of a report on alleged russian meddling in the 2016 election the document accuses the de mint putin of orchestrating the hack of Democratic Party service but if youre hoping to find a smoking gun in this report you would like it to be disappointed as kind of open explains it is the 5th and final installment from the senate Intelligence Committee regarding allegations of russia and trump and the 2016 elections now the report is over a 1000 pages long it takes us to quite extravagant places from the Ritz Carlton Hotel to the Miss Universe pageant and the ultimate conclusion of the report the long awaited conclusion is that russian president Vladimir Putin himself were the hacking of the Democratic National committee server take a listen the Committee Found that russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the brush an effort to hack competes networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and the campaign for president do they offer any proof well no they just simply state they have high confidence this is an Intelligence Community assertion that the russian government is responsible and that lattimer putin himself ordered the hacking of the d. N. C. And phrases like high confidence show up throughout the report for example the for. Is likely is used 139 times furthermore the phrase almost certain shows up 23 times and the phrase seems shows up 39 times however despite all this high confidence and almost certainty the Russian Security services are blamed for the hacking of the d. N. C. Server take a listen to this passage from the report beginning in march 26th seen offices of the russian Main Intelligence Directorate the g. R. U. Successfully hacked competes networks but long into the Democratic National committee and the Democratic CongressionalCampaign Committee and the email accounts of Clinton Campaign officials and employees including Campaign Chairman john podesta the report claims that Russian Security services in gauged in spirit fishing and this gave them access to the d n c server now at this point the main piece of evidence that they put forward to back up this claim is testimony from the tech firm known as crowd strike crowd strike youll recall was hired by d. N. C. Royer is to look into the matter now crowd strike has come under a lot of scrutiny crowd strikes president x. F. B. I. Official shawn henry testified that they saw a quote activity that we believed was consistent with activity wed seen previously and had associated with the russian government in the same testimony and we also testified that crowd strike never had any evidence the data was actually exfiltrate it i. E. Stolen from the d. N. C. Servers but regardless and not surprisingly we see wiki leaks also thrown into the report wiki leaks activity sort on played a key role in the Russian Campaign and very likely knew it was assisting the russian intelligence influence efforts from julian assigned has long denied these allegations and said he is simply not a russian operative however. The allegations persist Many Americans looking at this report as well as many people around the world have got to be asking themselves how much longer is this russia gate story going to keep going is this final installment really the last report or will they find a way to get it back into the news once again. Its a chance to tell give us his reaction to the Intelligence Report whether one or another country may be interfering in our elections i think people are tired of that frankly and tired of the endless investigation of the same issue if you want to only to rush i have seen so far little evidence its not no evidence that that happened on the balance of probabilities again when i say the way from looking to this 63 clinton rant intro shes campaign thats why she lost you got to look at 16 and understand that Hillary Clinton went out of her way to offend a large percentage of the voting population she did not campaign effectively in key states she looks very ill in september 11th 2016 she was operating with her husband a corrupt foundation and has been since 1997 where hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars have gone missing their similar questions have all been joe biden and his family those are the big issues that are going to animate voters in this country.
