This is our to International Coming to you live from the russian capital this saturday welcome to the program. Russian opposition figure how im saying not only has been admitted to hospital for medical treatment he was airlifted earlier on saturday from the siberian city of hes been in a coma since falling ill during a flight to moscow on thursday that all the house away this from the german capital. Alexina volley arrived here at charlottes a in a Emergency Vehicle a intensive Care Transport vehicle that was flanked by Police Motorcycles as well as other Police Vehicles weve had a statement from the shallots a hospital asking for patience saying that they are going to be carrying out extensive diagnostic tests on him to try and determine what was the cause of the coma that he has been in it comes after a lot of wrangling between russian doctors in the city of almost the novelli family he was transported here to germany on a medical plane that was paid for and charted by his supporters that plane. Specialists in dealing with coma patients however doctors in school werent sure that he was in a fit in of state they felt he was too weak in order to make the journey however they eventually relented at the request of the family we are not in favor of him being taken anywhere from this hospital but considering the requests of his family we will help organize the transportation alexa develop he took ill on a flight from on thursday from siberia to moscow hes been in a coma since then paramedics arriving on the sit when paramedics arrived on the scene of the plane which had to make an Emergency Landing in it was clear that in the valley it was in some extreme distress. There have been claims that election of and he was poisoned however doctors who trace him in say they carried out a talk screening and that they came back negative for any toxins in his system they say that they were treating him based on a different diagnosis the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered a metabolic disrupt. With the reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off last year alexina vialli was admitted to hospital from prison his team at the time suggested hed been poisoned however it later turned out hed had an extreme allergic reaction what we have seen though is conspiracy theories and allegations a bound to that end of army is not the 1st to fall victim to poisoning blame for which is often a laid at the door of the kremlin foremost spies on his daughter yulia suffered a nerve agent attack and russian defector Alexander Litvinenko died of radiation poisoning activist glad amir was poisoned twice and survived hooten the jury is for allegedly using radioactive nerve agents to target Double Agents defectors and others who fall afoul of the kremlin claims of any poisoning is being denied by the Kremlin Putin the russian president s press box person to meet the press corps saying that they wished missed in the valley all the best and a swift recovery saying that any delays in his transport taishan from russia to germany had been due to the concerns from the medical staff in fact the kremlin had rushed through documentation to allow him to make this trip what we are hearing is that the European Union wanting to see a full investigation into what happened so missed in the valley in a case that is becoming increasingly politicized medical staff and berlin say they are running extensive task to establish whats wrong with now ali well as martin summers says its too early to jump to conclusions though. Well obviously if its a case of poisoning theres going to be an awful lot of press placing boy western politicians and others but of course its not clear who would have done the poisoning who has access to alexina boundary it will be zone entourage hes an entourage maybe even working with intelligence agencies in the west to create such an incident as were now seeing now that sounds farfetched but it isnt really if you know the history of Nato Special Operations going back many decades that doesnt mean that they did it and it doesnt mean that the russian state did it and its not even clear that this is a poisoning so we think Everybody Needs to take a deep breath and think very carefully about the damage that can be done by wild allegations. Opponents of the belorussian leader are keeping up the pressure almost 2 weeks on from the disputed election rallies are now being held calling on president Alexander Lukashenko to quit crowds march through minsk earlier on saturday carrying the red and white flag thats becoming some more Antigovernment Movement in the past few days they far formed a human chain stretching to the outskirts of the capital as you can see many of the activists were current and there was no noticeable security presence there. You know all those in favor of the president are also making their voices heard in large progovernment rally place a few hours ago. I was there and. He told supporters that the ongoing turmoil in the country is being stirred up by the west arties correspondent was there for us and even managed to speak to the president. What you see behind me is a few 1000 people who showed up at a progovernment rally and. This meeting is very special compared to others that we have that we have covered in the past couple of days because its exceptionally large because it isnt but because its the 1st one that weve seen. The president. Make an appearance and he made a speech. Over the. Time over time 60 percent of people on the internet who showed bruises 60 percent of the stage footage time will pass we will come and show you everything i have received information that there are private enterprises all over the country that are pushing people to strike some have become insulting to the point that if an unfortunate policeman arrives 3 pace car we have telephone conversations they say crush the corpse but why why will you do if crime returns to the streets who you call do not attack policeman these are your own people if they made some mistakes forgive them but the postelection period has been quiet rocky for Alexander Lukashenko for instance a couple of times when factory workers boycotted production and he showed up there to try and calm them down he was essentially had killed and stake so they didnt give him any any any any time they didnt really give him any slack if i may say well here is a different mood here because here people are supporting him so thats what hes thanked them for and essentially his messages be. It doesnt matter whos in power it doesnt matter what. The only thing that matters is that belarus should stay independent that it should let other nations meddle i had a chance to ask him to ask him a question it wasnt like it wasnt a Media Briefing or anything will literally caught him as he was leaving the state. I knew this would happen i was afraid of skirmishes during that critical period they were preparing for that they were going to work for i came out i was afraid that these people would have suffered that is why we took a break look at that there is a sea of people outside i did not expect to see that here on the western border where being bullied are being pressured to attack russia they see as a springboard and we have to wipe it out. It was very happy to see us journalists from russia as well hes already left but people while the crowd the numbers are dwindling the crowd is slowly dissipating and as they as they are leaving but still a few good few 100 people are still behind me theres a concert going on so i dont think of a celebration this is sort of a what the mood like is here like a public celebration with some classic songs and some local local hits so this is whats going on here. The belorussian Opposition Leader of the chicano sky has said she will not run for president again if the government agrees to a rerun of the election during her 1st Media Conference since fleeing to lithuania to hold off guys said her only goal now is to secure a new election she called on other countries to respect the sovereignty of belarus and to let its people decide the future of their own country meanwhile president Alexander Lukashenko has claimed that he helped her leave the country. Yeah it was i who transported to the truth when i just dont want to go into details but she was the one who requested she was begging to be allowed to go to her children she loves them but shes been thrown under the bus. And then Foreign Ministry and Intelligence Service has reached out to her and now she started making statements that moscow based political scientists are toward him choke told us how he thinks look shango will sink to end the crisis. In such case its battle to im dissipate future demands of the opposition that dissipate crisis and get dry to. Set up some instruments for dialogue maybe like public dialogue roundtable discussion about the future of develop a recent biology cannot development about social and Political Development and somehow to incorporate. Moderate opposition into 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 or maybe at the National Level so that they can express the ideas and interests of those who are intending to do or the present well he doesnt want to maybe do our direct negotiations with the council because they are selfappointed people so all the legally they do not represent to represent the population so its not clear who they are representing in this in this court in a Good Nutrition council but i think that he is a very large container agreed to have dialogue with the labor unions with the local local leaders legacy to me. Local officials the European Union has refused to recognise the results of the belorussian election and the us called it neither free nor fair but despite the western pressure look shingo is adamant hes not going anywhere its a situation that reminded some of another leader as our team has done a quarter explains. Many are noticing the ways in which the unrest and valorous a similar to the ukraine uprising or political upheavals in other acts soviet states the latest example though is halfway across the world one leading dissident is now citing the venezuelan scenario calling on the west to recognize the Opposition Leader as the legitimate president. We are trying to convince the Global Community that he can all sky has to be recognized for example in venezuela there are 2 centers of power of course in better use so just know it will be different but it can be done and there are clearly a few parallels like bella ruse the situation in venezuela started with massive protests following contested elections and a defeated opposition claiming the results were rigged. Western leaders didnt recognize the Election Results in either case and of course they decided to throw their support behind the protests the brutal repression of the venezuelan people must and must and soon you need to get used to these a dictatorship trying to survive for the coast of unprecedented humanitarian distress of flooring ideological radicalization when the resources of the country remain considerable to those who continue to oppress the good people of venezuela you know this. All options are on the table so what is moral support from foreign powers done for the opposition in both countries well in venezuela they were confident enough to form their own socalled interim government and theres still essentially a system of dual power to parliaments one promo doro the other program things are heading that way in belarus where an Opposition Coordination Council has been formed and if that is if the Coordination Council believes that the only way to overcome the political crisis is to meet the stark negotiations and work out mechanisms to restore the rule of no rule and hold new elections its not exactly clear what the function of these institutions are though in venezuela its hard to tell what has even gained from washingtons cheerleading so apart from a little chain rattling and protest organizing what is quite those political maneuvering actually achieved as well people never supported in any numbers whatsoever you had rallies were very few people showed up you could leave the military as well and it was totally loyal to Nicolas Maduro had no interest in following this guy was a pretender and the whole thing was just of course if you ask the United States to back someone who had no support really to begin with and then to try to calm this off to the rest of the world that he was president to have him travel to washington to be said we are going with donald trump in speech he was there in the Public Gallery of the u. S. Capitol i mean it just didnt fly because there was no support for him so as far as belize goes we dont know what the real support is for the opposition because the Election Results were probably tainted dont really know how much support he has but we know the guy did never got that kind of support because he was in the country and trying to make speeches and have around him and they found. A laughable figure there no doubt some key differences between the 2 countries after all venezuelas been suffering from hyper inflation widespread crime and a tanking economy all intensified by u. S. Sanctions thats not the case in belarus though lets hope it stays that way foreign support for the belarus opposition has come from numerous quarters including from a prominent french intellectual bernard great levy is no stranger to backing revolt. The United Nations was set up. For me its the war that comes a is too late. The elmo small default defense of operations targets a defense for parishioners to protect the civilian population at the request of the interim governing council i have the impression france could have envisaged that and it would have submitted it as part of the political plan the you will discover in the next few days. How can we put rice who failed to act with regard to syria well by trying to imagine and perhaps to provoke a configuration such as that which has prevailed in libya. But not so many europeans you want the best of the europeans. Today in vilnius would suit the manatee who know its going to the face of the berlin Russian Revolution and the opposition to the tyrant actual thing that you know it was a definite mistake on the part of the. Team because given that it does have this reputation of someone who is behind sayings way probably even taken also wants to avoid involving the nation the guy. Given the fact that it became known to the media and it was right at least in some media it is sort of counterproductive for the image chichi in times to produce quite honestly most people who are now protesting at resort. To peaceful progress they are doing that to the seeing horrible pictures of all the smiling and the same on the governments side now more and more people are protesting just because they want to say that we are hard against any change and you know we want to preserve peace so those people are protesting on their own in the seringe an hour an hour out of their own agenda and meeting at this meeting but you can also go with anyone who is no winning no in the war as you know lots of credit for noting some revolutionary ideas i dont think that may makes any any difference. Councils in the u. K. Warned that a fear of offending obese people could bankrupt the countrys Health Service story and more in a few moments. Join me every thursday on the alec simon show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see that. Welcome back sweden has seen a surge in deaths in the 1st half of 2020 government stats suggest 15 percent more people died compared with the same period in the Previous Year the revelation has reignited criticism of stockholms approach the pandemic like most of European Countries sweden did not go into lockdown the majority of Public Places rain open throughout and there was no official recommendation to wear masks it is very dangerous to belief face masks would change the game when it comes to 19 face masks can be complement to other things when other things are safely in place but to start with having face masks and then think you can crowd your buses or your shopping malls thats definitely a mistake we talk to human rights expert marcela for denali he says economic considerations were behind the governments decision. Goal was to keep. The Health Services. At the certain levels i mean not fully obeid in order to take care of all of them or their children but of course they were how they. Get you needs not completely depleted because they where were personally not at the meeting in those Health Care Units the as a lead that were not being. Believe that they had the neat over this huge guaranteed you can join us then we have their lists. By bates now were doing it so we means that we are yeah we are doing better damn it doctors but behind this is study you know dazed and is then its big dicks you know again that the secret on each game there was a after different day makes a good movie of the countries will be some i see the year so were going to be in a better position to compete etc but the fact that the economy of stood in this suffering as much as the economy. On the right amount of countries so. Not only lives you know its also the economy so totally failure is a complete failure. He thought Council Leaders are calling on doctors to be more upfront with patients about obesity they say concerns about offending people will bankrupt the Health Service the local Government Association says those living with severe obesity cost council funded social care twice as much as a person with a healthy weight theyre also far more likely to require Long Term Care over a 2 year period according to the governments own figures obesity is costing society billions of pounds annual spending on obesity and diabetes is greater than on police the fire service and the judiciary combined the local Government Association says things need to change unless we tackle the stigma and serious challenge of obesity. The costly and debilitating Major Health Conditions it causes could bankrupt Adult Social Care and n. H. S. Services Health Professionals need to start having frank conversations about peoples weight if it could be an underlying cause of their condition and routinely record it individuals need to take responsibility for their own decisions and the government needs to support them to do so nearly a quarter of adults in britain are classified as obese with that rate expected to rise to a 3rd by 2024 since the mid 1990 s. The number of obese men has increased 7 fold while its tripled for women its up to human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell and calmness under walker about the right approach the issue. Obesity is a human rights issue because people are overweight often get dealt with a lot of stigma prejudice and discrimination that cheney will not work we need to have a partnership between Health Authorities and people who wait so together they tackled this problem i dont think that we should wish the forcing people to do anything thought i do believe that these arguments that we hear all the time which is so People College of thoughts freak out like you know what if you want to lose weight it lacks a very small base tricks you obvious are going to do its biggest gains in overweight people seem to be in economic you deprived areas there are not many you know any even fresh fruit and vegetable shops and if there are theyre very expensive so we need a whole whole whole approach to this issue the idea that stress produces expense this its not so bad you know 82 percent so its these cheap at the back of chips now that i walk around university kept assists and every girl i see is as great as the course you know weve got the train start by saying look im sorry you eat too hot and we need to stop doing it we also have to separate different people that there are some people are overweight because of both and a product rule. That is in their constitution its not that they can help it its not that theyre overeating its that their body metabolism and ended crimes are not working correctly in a normal healthy person so we need to understand that some people genuinely cannot help but be overweight on a serious note space is an incredibly dangerous situation and every time i say pictures of people in the n. H. S. Its died from codeine see a doctor out of our wrists you know very often its our white people and so i think it creates a real danger and i just think that we should be honest with people it states that if you cut off white that is turns out that its a cow the fact. U. S. Time making giant goodyear has angered conservatives by allegedly banning staff from wearing Blue Lives Matter and make America Great again caps thats after audio was leaked from a staff training class.
