World powers that reject a us call to reimpose sanctions on the ground under the nuclear deal that washington quit 2 years ago. Youre watching our 2 International Coming to you live from the russian capital where its just turned 6 pm welcome to the program. Followers of the exiled Opposition Leader has given her 1st Media Conference since fleeing to lithuania so long to use the opportunity to tell Foreign Countries to respect the sovereignty of belarus earlier she addressed her fellow citizens in a new video message urging them to keep up the pressure on lookers shango with more strikes almost 2 weeks after the disputed election threw the country into political turmoil. Of us to get up so you can join entirely legal and powerful weapon against the regime and they know it thats why they intimidate you leave the fear mongering to the dictatorship remember you are not alone im asking you to keep on strike who will make the call it he says the voices he has stolen from us. Those in favor of the belorussian president are making their voices heard motorists have been displaying the official red and green flag while driving in and around minsk and i large rally took place in the eastern city of the fitz thursday thousands gathered in an amphitheater chanting their support. The this week expressed its solidarity with antigovernment demonstrators in belarus and rejected the outcome of the election and that prompted russias foreign minister to warn europe against any form of meddling saying it to risk a repeat of the casting in ukraine back in 2014 r. T. As it goes down of reports on the parallels with the events of 6 years ago. How long has it been since you played spot the difference well you wont have many difficulties matching footage from the 2014 uprising in ukraine to whats happening now in another post soviet republic right next to it better us. Military. At face value the pitches are identical but beneath the record discrepancies because ukraine didnt exactly set an example of how to in the short term yes be good all it wanted a new president electoral growth taishan a visa waiver for the e. U. But that was where the buck stopped because the newly elected president quickly lost all support the economy collapsed Key Industries sloped National Debt hiked and socalled western partners until this day still arent rushing to accept cave as one of their role so is it really a surprise that here in belarus people dont want a repetition of that thanks to us stay a fine and shouldnt bail out a knock on to the house are there and you can walk down the street in the evening and not be afraid for safety and the safety of your loved ones thinking is that reason we stand for an independent billers only with beef and tranquility well be able to survive this there is no need to describe the country. Small and then watch the news and can see that some food in as they didnt see a. Iraq and ukraine ive seen how countries have been destroyed with people fleeing on boats to europe and living in migrant camps i believe who must not choose this path this is really a Color Revolution even antigovernment protesters werent happy to see e. U. Flags among their ranks would be easy but i suppose if they see if there was. Anybody who was factory workers across the country briefly boycotted production but that impulse quickly faded out labor has realized they have no friends in the e. U. Only competitors eager to fill market gaps left by belarus factories yes if that gives it some credence about not having friends. Give them what its not enough i view it negatively a couple of people from my team went to the strike stayed there for 10 minutes and came back. They were not interested in what was happening that they didnt like it but ive got to go by dealing with those who support lucas sankoh should have shown that they are the majority by taking to the streets it would have been a different picture now if only they had shown up at the antigovernment protests we should have started rolling earlier in support of the current president almost like a question you dont see basically everyone has a negative view of the strikes because this is a Key Enterprise and the well being of the entire city depends on its stable operation therefore such actions of the plan itself are next up to another coup difference with ukraine the people of better seem more against losing russia as their ally and geopolitical friend even discuss just opposition arent rushing headlong into a breakup with moscow. The last politician in belarus will be the one he seeks to build a wall belli rescind russia it is in our interests have good relations with both russia and the e. U. And russia and the European Union both want by the russians to be the allies so each of them needs to meet the expectations of our people pretty much as everyone almost everyone who ive spoken to here and elsewhere in belarus theyve said that they were appalled that they were disgusted and that they stood with those tortured by the police but then things changed and protests started to lose momentum and thats when politics kicked in and that was when all these thousands of people took to the streets with a different message with a message of unity i mean down of reporting from belarus. About the e. U. And russia being looked to as mediators and the crisis we asked people and meant that they people like to play that role. As for me i prefer russia because im a bit skeptical about the e. U. I would rather stay with russia but at the same time i want belorussians to be belorussians but none of those despite having no. Belorussian roots i feel closer to the e. U. The lot of belarus to remain as well are and to have brotherly relations with all our neighbors when i was saying you. Are more on this we go live now to our tour the associate professor of Political Science at Moscow State University youre very welcome to the program the belorussian president today accused the United States of planning and running the unrest in his country what do you make of that. Well i think to make such a statement he needs to have evidence at hand that its very hard to prove any legal aid to do so in which a girl evidence without human refer to. Are what was smart that may be you that was used in a similar colored revolutions elsewhere so maybe he. Also politic militancy in summation all issues that western countries like us trying to influence by the russian opposition russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov has warned that western support for the opposition and belarus could trigger a repeat of the chaos that we saw a few years back in ukraine do you think theres any danger of that happening. While it is theoretically yes but i think that in belarus less like what happened in ukraine belarus there are no so many russian people like a robust grain for it so well a russian nationalism is not as strong as the ukrainian war in the 20 years ago Something Interesting weve heard from the bell Russian Foreign minister on thursday was that belarus needs a change but not a revolution do you think any real change is likely if looks like a status. Well if hes a wise politician and hes very experienced politician and here he may know that in such case its battle to anticipate future demands of the opposition that dissipate crisis and to try to. Set up some instruments for dialogue maybe like public dialogue a round table discussion about the future of the developed world a recent article on development about social and Political Development and somehow to incorporate. Moderate opposition to political process try to maybe not sharing power but drive to allow them to participate in Decision Making at the local level of regional level at the National Level so that they can express the ideas and interests of those who they are intending to do all the presents do you think theres any hope of that happening though it looks franco having a dialogue with the opposition we know that theyve already opened a criminal case into the Coronation Council that the opposition set up. Well he doesnt want to maybe 2 are here for direct negotiations with the council because they are self appointed people so all the legally they do not represent the present population so its not clear who they are representing in this in this. Council but i think that he is very likely to agree to have dialogue with labor unions with local local leaders legs. Local officials local deputies. One of the beloRussian Foreign minister also condemned the upcoming sanctions as quote malicious acts which cannot be left without retaliation what kind of leverage does belarus have to retaliate with. Well since the russian economy is so very marginal reacted to russia and so are this youngest countries there are no use to stall leverage was. Bought seems closely transit can clear the course some troubles with the transit of the European Group includes a promise from europe to russia it was yeah but i dont see that the letter was his very strong leverage of what pulls those sanctions are toward him choke associate professor of Political Science at Moscow State University thank you for your time and your comments in. Germany france the u. K. Russia and china have all rejected a u. S. Request to reimpose sanctions on iran the socalled snapback sanctions can be triggered as part of the nucular deal but only by signatories artist come up and picks up the story so at this point weve got the United States essentially demanding that the United Nations reimpose its crippling sanctions Economic Warfare against the Islamic Republic of iran this is mike pompei o laying out the demand just a few minutes ago i delivered letters to both the un secretarygeneral to tears and to the president of the Security Council. Notify them that the United States is initiating the restoration of virtually all u. N. Sanctions on iran lifted under Un Security Council resolution 2231. 00 that isis will never allow the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terrorism to freely buy and sell planes tanks missiles and other kinds of conventional weapons now essentially the United States is hoping to invoke the snap back mechanism that was part of the j c p o a conclusion of the Iran Nuclear Negotiations the Iran Nuclear Deal now the snapback mechanism was put into the nuclear deal so that if iran did not fulfill the agreement and did not fulfill its obligations broke the agreement that there would be an immediate snap back and all the un sanctions would immediately be reimposed on iran so now the United States is trying to invoke the snapback mechanism however it has virtually no support in the International Community when it comes to this demand weve got all the other cosigners of the deal the United Kingdom germany france china russia all staying that basically the United States doesnt have the right to invoke the snapback mechanism because the United States pulled out of the deal not iran this has been the International Reaction to the United States call and this was my studio and i was aware different concerns that reckless acts by the United States could trigger a serious crisis in the Security Council our american colleagues do not seem to care about this with carnal countries to resist and i stress once again that the us press are in low full that. The United States has withdrawn from the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian Nuclear issue and hes not qualified to call for a rapid resumption of sanctions by the Security Council as i have repeatedly recalled the u. S. Unilaterally ceased participation in the j. C. B. Away by president ial memorandum on the 8th of may 28th in and has subsequently not participated in any j c p away related activities he cannot therefore be considered to be a participant state. For the purposes of possible sanctions not by foreseen by the resolution the United States hold out of the Iran Nuclear Deal in may of 28 scene and at this point weve got the trumpet ministration saying that they are open to renegotiating a new deal that would restrict irans activities more harshly now at this point people are reacting to the recent effort by the United States to extend the arms embargo against the Islamic Republic of iran which was roundly defeated by the International Community the u. N. Security council the 15 member body that leads the u. N. The only other country to support the u. S. Move was the Dominican Republic and it seems with the world basically opposing washingtons moves against iran that iran actually has the upper hand this is what weve heard from some iranian officials in was called and on which i think today its clear that the United States is size elated and american unilateralist is not supported by other countries with the reason reason lucian that was put before the Security Council the United States was defeated the slum a group of iran has the upper hand about in the International Community it seems like almost a consensus that the Iran Nuclear Deal should remain intact however washington has pulled out of the deal and they seem to be almost standing alone at this point in their call to reimpose sanctions and to essentially escalate tensions with the Islamic RepublicRussia Deputy envoy to the u. N. Said on thursday that the u. S. Had declined to hold a Security Council session on the question of thanks and journalists reseller says they have americas actions are more for a home audience. The u. S. Has no legal grounds whatsoever to pursue this its very quite explicit in the terms of the j c p a way that only participants in the accord could move to have the snap back weve seen all kinds of seizure. Iranian oil on the high seas that was on its way to venezuela all perfectly legal but the u. S. Claims the unilateral right to impose its interpretation of sanctions anywhere in the world against anybody it wants. But frankly rather than a sign of straightening this is a sign of weakness because the u. S. Is unable to get its support from any other country in the world for these. Actions including britain france germany you know staunch u. S. Allies completely reject the about the trump a news story on this issue and its a sign of desperation frankly that theyre hoping something will happen between now and november and turn things around and trump hopes to use these efforts to gain reelection i think frankly its quite the opposite. A court in germany has sentenced a woman to one year and 9 months in prison on terror related Human Trafficking charges a 30 year old for the sin of syria and germany was found guilty of sending several young women to syria to become brides of Islamic State fighters the prosecution was asking for 3 and a half years in prison however the court count of time the defendant had spent in a turkish Deportation Center and noted in the short time she had been a supporter of eisel apparently less than one year also the sentence took into account the defendants children. When someone distances themselves from terrorism as she did then you have to give them a chance this could set a precedent for other trials for other people who wish to reintegrate themselves in our society that the state gives them the chance. Were not convinced by how display a wretched. Tactically thats why we ask. For further analysis were joined live now by adel darwish journalist and coauthor of water wars coming conflicts in the middle east now one year and 9 months seems like a fairly mild sentence for recruiting jihadi brides do you think that justice has been served here. From the point of view. Or small you know. And so on. Just that we can has this problem. We have a lot. Of rock and some. By the one thing. You want that justice in america. And theres a big problem because the. Defense has been the defense is paid for by taxpayer money the only way that is no evidence or as the defense. Of pleading in germany is that the. More was convinced that. The belief in what youre doing is right. If the defense lawyer said her client should be given a 2nd chance because she distanced herself from her crimes does that sound like a sound argument. I dont think so i havent actually come across many of them who have that he integrate into society in fact on the contrary even the ones who go to jail at the thought that its. Because that kind of ideology. The nazi ideology is just a way of life for them. To defend suggested this could set a good precedent for other former extremists who want to be reintegrated into society do you think it will have that effect. I dont think so i think it would actually say that some kind of oppression that. That may be and that people can get away with murder in this case being the women who suffered them in one of them by and the 2nd the one of the all the argument is actually spent on the argument that is actually stopping. People like the one. Right in britain actually being coming to the throne in britain that they would find the clever lawyer who would undermine evidence presented in court you were talking about leniency there and it was also said that having children this woman having 4 Young Children was also take into account is that correct. Again you see this is a human. Of liberal minded left wing so when you go where. The woman happened having a problem. Or the sort of a history of some kind of between being a father and a mother and the flimsiest of evidence that we actually think that she was there in the way of their own protection i dont see why that social service dont actually think that she had been away from the ng for ones of their parents who might but it grew with and through with the idea of you have this. Journalist and author adele darwish thank you for joining us on the program today thank you. Russian doctors treating an exam not only are ruling out poisoning for now after the opposition figure had tested negative for the presence of toxic substances in all the remains in intensive care and a hospital and the siberian city of homs where hes in a coma after falling ill during a flight to moscow doctors say they will carry out more tests however. Bring in our team is maria maria could you bring us up to date on his condition yes hi well indeed the doctor is at the ohms clinic in russia siberia where Alexander Valley has been treated say off to testing his blotting you are in samples no traces of a any talk 6 substance have been found and this is the conclusion the medics came to. In the room with the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered and its about disruption with the levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off. No violence family insists that he should be transported to a medical medical facility abroad this is what his supporters also have been repeatedly calling for we also know that alexs wife earlier on friday directly appealed to president putin to allow her husband to be moved to a clinic in germany. With you when you demand that exceed be released from hospital so we can take him to doctor switched trust. But. You dont believe that the transportation could be dangerous. But the doctor is in charge at all most clinics say that. His condition is right now very very unstable hes not ready for a knee traveling they said that after discussing these health with their german colleagues they had arrived to the almost clinic earlier on friday and had a chance to examine Alexander Valley he is currently in intensive care and he has been in coal mine on ventilator for more than 24 hours doctors say that the ra signs of a slight improvement but still hes very very afraid jalali scene of ali felt suddenly ill while on a plane on his way back to moscow and doctors say he experienced a dramatic drop in Blood Pressure caused by pressure jump during the planes take off so eve he is air transport it anywhere now he may go through the same problem he may experience this same situation in this is very dangerous for him. But it will be good to avoid further risks the doctors including the moscow doctor. The. Cost but so. Galaxy in a violent just a little bit over a bag ground of this story for our viewers felt a suddenly very ill while on a plane back to moscow he was coming back from another siberian city off tall and the captain had to complete an Emergency Landing and the ambulance was at the runaway at the time when the aircraft touched down so they held was immediately. There and almost immediately. In the internet. Parenting filmed by someone who is on the same plane as violently where violent could be heard like in pain. I like saying that vitally is a prominent opposition figure here in russia and of course there are many sayings that he was poisoned although all we hear from the doctor is that no traces of any talk sick material substance have been found and he situation hes hospitalization already attracted a lot of international attention. Been given him some bones missed in the valley of course extremely preoccupied and saddened by the situation of alexina valmy we heard this morning what happened to him and i want to say here that we give him all always support his family his loved ones for a problem for calgary and we stand by their side hopeful interventional through to us i hope and wish of course that he will recover as quickly as possible we will of course offer him all the medical help he needs and he can turn to german hospitals. Were looking at mikes going to be reporting to me. No violence supporters are also talking about alleged poisoning of their leader but we have to remember this is not for the 1st time there was a similar situation. Some time ago and when alex in a bottle he felt suddenly very ill and we remember that hes supporters were very quick to say that he was poisoned but later it turned out that it was just an allergic reaction to some substance so earlier we heard from. The spokesperson today who said that the kremlin has no problem with. Being transported anywhere else including abroad although borders right now closed because of the Coronavirus Fund damage but theyre ready to go through all necessary procedures eve doctor is allowed these transportation. Should the decision is entirely medically its likely that there are some. That im not aware but there are no obstacles in principle it depends on the head doctor who is responsible for the patients health. So again it is right now in an intensive care if he has been in coma and on ventilator for more than 24 hours already and doctors say that he will be treated of course still and he is stable and they will be if one more tatts back to you. Maria from the thank you for bringing that story down for us as our correspondent just german doctors have examined of all me and and reportedly raised no objections to him remaining in the city of medics are still running tests to determine the cause of his illness but some in the western media have already reached their own conclusions. The most outspoken critic of russian president Vladimir Putin has been rushed to a siberian hospital doesnt seem to really decide asking is the kremlin involved its all true and if so asking that in there is no. One as many towers falling is clearly putting. The governments there saying this would not have been possible without husseins approval. Which is a very. Silent scene 6 like. We always. Do or 6 of. Course his supporters will not be convinced they will believe that this is a boys inning. I am at all was a cool could be interested in such a poison and it became a kind of duty its a its a cliche for their western media the western news agency is to blame rushdie mediately after something happens basically there are many questions unanswered and the western media is not seeking answers to these questions instead is just so much easier to blame russia putin personally or to speculate if it could be done by russian government agents without which inseparable with belgian supreme is just safe to make it has a chance against russia because its much more dangerous to really investigate and to see probably there always are the exodus warthen the story or. The story or all. Of been a roundup of the days top stories for further details and up to the minute reports on facebook or twitter
