Requests to reimpose sanctions against tehran is rejected by the remaining members of the Iranian Nuclear deal. Other good morning hope having a good day so far are you watching the weekly here are not. The stars in belarus where another huge protest against the presidency of Alexander Lukashenko is expected today people have been taking to the streets for more than 2 weeks now alleging that he rigged election the countrys been left deeply divided by the president ial vote that followed it was dominated by opposition protests on monday supporters of the president began to hold counter valleys and they gain from the 2 sides can be distinguished by the colors they support. My hearts bleeding and i cant believe this is happening in bell. These are and i love i love the thanks it is opposition we are strong it is them who made us united we are the people weve been living in fear for a week weve been crying all these calls for a change i was buying vegetables at the grocery i told the seller i was going to attend a meeting she said you look at shingle rat i think their thoughts are wrong the Election Results are a complete lie its very sad the more the authorities deny evidence things the worse it is for the state i feel bad for the country and for the people i believe that the peoples voices that we hear now justify what people decided in the election they havent been heard now they will have to listen every day to whats going on here. With progovernment gatherings gaining momentum one of the largest rallies occurred in the world know in the west of the country on saturday parties correspondent is done off listen to an emotional speech from Alexander Lukashenko there and managed to speak with the president. What you see behind me is a few 1000 people who showed up at a progovernment rally and indeed this meeting is very special compared to others that we have that we have covered in the past couple of days not 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 after. 40 years and over these fixed time over time 60 percent of people on the internet who showed bruises 60 percent of the states 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. We have telephone conversations they say cross 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 one factory workers boycotted production and he showed up there to try and calm them down he was essentially had killed and booed off stage 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 message has been. It doesnt matter whos in power it doesnt matter 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 a question it wasnt like a Media Briefing or anything will literally caught him as he was leaving the stage yes i knew this would happen i was afraid of skirmishes during the critic. The 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 bin bullitt are being pressured to attack russia they see as a springboard and we have to wipe it out. It was really happy to see us journalists from russia as well what the mood like is here like a public celebration with some classic songs and local local heads so this is whats going on here. Meanwhile a number of Foreign Countries have challenge is legitimacy as president rejecting the elections or else he was confirmed destroying of sanctions because belarusian officials suspected of Election Fraud and violence against protesters at least only 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 is the countrys geography which between its big east the neighbor and europe sees the interests of International Players intertwine and clash. Officially the e. U. Is dismissed the elections as neither free nor fair. Persona nongrata and already begun drawing up new sanctions lists citing Human Rights Violations in the wake of Police Violence in custody we start number withheld 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 there is no shared view of what comes next the Baltic States and poland have been the loudest critics of location while hungary has stopped short of outright that l. C. A. Sion. 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 macron 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 ally a vital economic and military partner and the 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 us 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 his energy needs and extended a helping hand it out of 6 wanted to help the reuss build its own sovereign country this leaves washington with a dilemma 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 throw. Into the International Limelight and with multiple interests at stake all actors involved hold their breath as they play out their next move. Russian opposition figure election of eligibility to a bird in hospital for emergency medical treatment was airlifted on saturday from the siberian city of arms that only has been in a coma since he fell ill during a flight to moscow on thursday is peter oliver the latest. It take a lot of wrangling between doctors in russia and the only family but election of ali is here in berlin at the chateau tate hospital just behind me he flew in on a medical plane that had been chartered by his supporters on saturday he arrived here flanked by a convoy of Police Motorcycles and other vehicles hes receiving treatment and shot to take and will be subject to extensive tests to try and work out exactly what resulted in him ending up in that coma hes been in since the state police of issued a statement saying that they are here in more numbers than they would be normally at the hospital because of mr novelli being traced here we arent expecting really any diagnosis from doctors before monday we do know the. Lexan of on these wife is here as well be looking to see if theres any statements from the family russian doctors had warmed to the Alexei Navalny might not have been well enough in order to make the journey here to germany they were reticent to allow him to do so but they 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 he will help organize the transportation. It was thursday when Alexei Navalny took well on a flight from siberia to moscow he was seen to be in some extreme distress on the flight on the plane when it had to make an Emergency Landing in the city of paramedics took him off to the hospital claims have been made that hes the victim of a poisoning his team suggesting that poison may have been slipped into his. Doctors however who trusts him in the city of say they carried out a top screening and that came back negative for any poisons that they were treating and i beg your pardon under the premise of a. Different diagnosis if you will the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered disruption with the reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off this isnt the 1st time that theres been claims that an x. In of on these been the victim of a poisoning last year he was hospitalized from prison with what his team claimed to be a poisoning it later turned out to be an extreme allergic reaction now the kremlin spokes person. Has said that there is no truth to these claims that hes been poisoned they said that they were behind any of the delays in getting him from russia here to germany that down to the concerns raised by the doctors and in fact the russian authorities had rushed through paperwork to allow him to make the trip he also said that he wished alexina valley a speedy recovery the union calling for a full investigation into exactly what happened to alexina valley on thursday on that flight that resulted in him being in a coma since then and ending up here at the shot at a hospital in a lot of answers being looked at in a case thats becoming increasingly politicized. The media rush to speculate on possible involvement several cases were cited when the russian government was accused of poisoning people. Vonnie is not the 1st to fall victim to poisoning blame for which is often a laid at the door of the kremlin former spice and his daughter yulia suffered a nerve agent attack and russian defector Alexander Litvinenko died of radiation poisoning activist Glen Amir Karim was poisoned twice and survived the tourists for allegedly using radioactive nerve agents to target Double Agents defectors and others who fall afoul of the kremlin of course his supporters will not be convinced they will believe that this is a poisoning. I am at the awards who would 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 rashi 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 potence approval is just safe to make accusations against russia because its much more dangerous to really investigate and to see broadly the role of our the exodus borth in the story or. The story of. Germany france the United Kingdom russia and china have all rejected the us request to reimpose sanctions on iran so called snap back sanctions can be triggered this part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories to the pact caleb maupin 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 secretary general to terrorism 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 did i say it 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 snapback 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 typical reckless acts by the United States can trigger a serious crisis in the Security Council our american colleagues do not seem to care about this week or no contrails to resist and i stress once again that the u. S. Pressures are unlawful 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 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 read negotiating 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 un 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 call me one wish access it today its clear that the United States decisively did an american unilateral is and is not supported by other countries with the reason reason lucian that was put before the Security Council the United States was defeated in the slum a group public of iran has the upper hand about it 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 Republic. Russias deputy envoy to the u. N. Said thursday that the u. S. Had declined to hold a Security Council session on the question of sanctions against iran long time Foreign Correspondent recently told us americas actions are more for a domestic 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 and weve seen all kinds of the seizure of iranian oil on the high seas that was on its way to venezuela are perfectly legal but the u. S. Claims the unilateral right to pose 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 support from any other country in the world for these. Actions including britain france germany and staunch u. S. Allies are completely rejected by the trungpa news station 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 a force to gain reelection i think frankly its quite the opposite. And shes a soldiers overthrew the president of mali after months of anticorruption protests now they say they plan to hold a new election for a month after the break. The world is driven by general shape. The day. Thinks. We dare to ask. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Let it be an arms race. Here in Dramatic Development only and. I dont see how that will be successful very critical. To sit down and. Welcome back the African Union has suspended mollies membership due to the ongoing military coup the soldiers of overthrowing the president and say that they plan to set up a Transitional Government and hold new elections now this video here reportedly shows troops taking the countrys president from his residence soft after he was detained on tuesday and a few hours later president appeared on state t. V. Announcing his resignation. 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. These days uprising began with a shoot out of the military camp close to the Capital Group of soldiers detained Senior Officers before marching on bamako and storming the president s residence that rising has been widely condemned including by the us you and neighboring african countries follow several months of protests in mali over Economic Hardship and alleged government corruption. I dont. Want to. Formally this but accused of mismanaging the economy corruption and worsening the security situation with jihadist groups in the north also people are happy with his backing of france mollies former colonizer french troops have been stationed in the country since 2013 the year in which he was 1st elected in order to keep terrorism by have to being reelected in 2018 k. To sawrey fall in his popularity with the mali an army facing losses from terrorist attacks and after dozens of legislative elections were disputed this spring and the straightest began taking to the streets calling for his resignation. People here jumped for joy to say a final farewell to mr ibrahim block our kate hes no longer our president. Nothing is going well and again and again were all suffering at the kuttab does not say we must advocate for dialogue above all. The story in general told claims that the roots of mollies latest insurrection can be traced right back to nato intervention in libya in north africa 9 years ago. This to accept was basically a result of the 2011 tragic overthrow and murder of more marc adopt the libya engineer by the United States of america and its nato allies particularly britain france that proven murder of gadhafi led to leakage of tons of weapons into neighboring mali which got into the hands of religious zealots who call themselves muslims who since that time had been waging a brutal and bitter war against the soldiers in mali 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 helped to generate unrest and instability this might be on the verge of seizing power in bombing which could have a negative knock on effect throughout the neighborhood not least in the wall in giving. Us democrats officially nominated joe biden has been a president today virtual votes during the partys Virtual Convention both democrats and republicans are making a raft of Campaign Promises including about American Military interventions joe biden says he wants to see an end to forever was. Leaves a lot to be desired on a 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 play and 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 u. S. Invasion of iraq 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 my mind. Were. 7 not having it. 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 buys thats nonsense. On the bridge about it today thanks for staying with r. T. Join me for more not top stories in half an hour. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then.
