Request to reimpose sanctions on tehran is rejected by the remaining members of the Iran Nuclear Deal. Other thanks for joining us youre watching the weekly international. Lets start in belarus where another large protest against the presidency of Alexander Lukashenko is expected people have been taking to the streets for more than 2 weeks alleging that he rigged election the countrys been left deeply divided by that vote that followed it was dominated by opposition protests but on monday supporters of the president began to hold counter rallies and they gained the months of the 2 sides can be distinguished by the colors they support. If the boy does my hearts bleeding and i cant believe this is happening in bell. 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 change i was buying vegetables at the grocery i told the seller i was going to attend a meeting she said you look at shank or rat i think their thoughts are wrong the Election Results are a complete lie its very sad the more the authorities deny ever the 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 girls now in the west of the country on saturday to correspond biggest all off listen to an emotional speech from Alexander Lukashenko of money stick up a moment 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 weve seen Alexander Lukashenko the president of belarus make an appearance and he made a speech after for a short period and over during 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 insolent to the point that if an unfortunate policeman arrives 3 pace. We have telephone conversations they say cross the coach but why why will you do you return to the streets who you call do not attack policeman these are your own people if they made some mistakes forgive them the postelection period as being quite 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 booed off stage so they didnt give him any any any any time they didnt really give him any slack if i may say so 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 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 no 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 by 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. Are being pressured to attack russia they see as a springboard and we have to wipe it out when 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 of challenge look ashamed as the jetta mrs president rejecting the Election Results the news confirmed that its stronger sanctions against belgium russian officials who are suspected of Election Fraud and violence against protesters stung 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 works 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 they 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 location while hungary has stopped short of outright. 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 routes is russias closest historical alloy 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 towards the west than 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 it out of 6 wanted to help fellow troops 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 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 russian opposition figure Alexa Novelli has been admitted to a bird in hospital for emergency medical treatment he was airlifted on saturday from the siberian city of arms around hes been in a coma since he fell ill during a flight to moscow on thursday d with the latest is peter oliver. Took a lot of wrangling between doctors in the russian city of. The family but Alexei Navalny is here in germany he arrived on saturday in a special medical plane had been chartered by his supporters and he landed here in berlin and arrived at the hospital flanked by a column of blue flashing Lights Police motorcycles and other vehicles accompanying the ambulance that he was in to be shot at a hospital hes receiving treatment and undergoing extensive testing at the hospital to try and determine what is behind his illness that resulted in him being in a coma since thursday early in police have also put out the same and saying that they are here in increased numbers due to mr vanney being in this hospital and we arent expecting any updates really from the hospital until maybe monday morning. Air less in of on these wife is here so were looking to see if theres any further statements from the family now russian doctors in had objected to him moving initially they said that alexina vanny was too ill to be able to make that journey however 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 we will help organize the transportation alexina valmy took on well on thursday on a flight from siberia back to moscow he was headed to be in some clear distress while on that flight the plane made an Emergency Landing in the city of on skin he was rushed off to hospital by paramedics that has been claims that he was poisoned with some of his team suggesting there was a poison was put into his teeth doctors say that they ran a talk screening on him while he was in the hospital in that came back negative that they were treating him under a different diagnosis if you will or the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered a massive by disruption with the reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off. Now this isnt the 1st claim of poisoning against alexina van the last year he was hospitalized from prison his team at the time said that he had been poisoned it later turned out that he suffered a severe allergic reaction and claims that there has been a poisoning and the kremlin of behind it is being strongly denied by denethor the press corps whos fled in your putins press secretary he said that the russian government to put no blocks in the way of the lakes in the valley traveling he had to germany that any delays in transportation had been due to the consonants raised by the doctors he said he also wish missed in the valley a speedy recovery of the European Union have said they want a full investigation into what happened to Alexei Navalny in what seems to be a case thats demanding a lot of answers and really raising certainly a lot more questions than we have ounces at the moment a lot of eyes focused on the hospital just behind me in a case that is becoming increasingly politicized. Was soon as the news of his illness broke western media rushed to speculate on possible kremlin 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 spy surrogates cripple and his daughter yulia suffered a nerve agent attack and russian defector Alexander Litvinenko died of radiation poisoning activist glad 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 course his supporters will not be convinced they will believe that this is the poisoning. I am at the last 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 personally or to speculate if it could be done by a russian government agents without which inseparable with fortunes approval is just safe to make it has a chance against russia because its much more dangerous to really investigate and to see broadly the role of are the exodus both in the story or. And or in the story of. Germany france the u. K. Russia and china have all rejected the us request to reimpose sanctions on iran the socalled snap back sanctions can be triggered a spawn of the nuclear deal but only by signatories to the pact killem open 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 terrorism to the president of the Security Council. Notified 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 it did not fulfill its obligations broke the agreement that there would be an immediate snap back in 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 was he doing as well where did the concerns at 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 recall no contrails to resist and i stress once again that the u. S. Prices are low for 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 o a 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 which i think 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 there was put before the Security Council the United States was defeated in the slum a group 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 RepublicRussias Deputy envoy to the United Nations said thursday that the u. S. Had declined to hold a Security Council session on the question of sanctions against iran a long time Foreign Correspondent recently told us about his 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. R. Way that only participants in the accord could move to have the snap back and weve seen all kinds of procedure 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 post 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 any other country in the world for these. Actions including britain france germany and staunch u. S. Allies are completely rejected by the im trying to 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 efforts to gain reelection i think frankly its quite the opposite. So it is over through the president of mali after months of time to corruption the protests now they say to the planning to hold a new election hoping the full story of the show.

Come back the African Union has suspended mollies membership due to the ongoing military coup the soldiers of overthrown the president and say they plan to set up a Transitional Government and hold new elections heres a video that reportedly shows troops taking the countrys president from his residence as he was detained on tuesday few hours later president cater appeared on state television 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. Uprising began with a shootout at the carty military camp close to the capital a group of soldiers detained Senior Officers before marching on bamako and storming the president s residence rising has been widely condemned including by the us e. U. And neighboring african countries follow several months of protests in mali about Economic Hardship and alleged government corruption. I. Think that. What. Former leader has been accused of mismanaging the economy corruption and worsening the security situation the jihadist groups in the north also people arent happy with his backing a friend smalleys former colonizer and strips of inspiration in the country since 2013 the year he was 1st elected to keep. Terrorists after being reelected in 28. 00 team caters for a fall in his popularity in the mali an army facing losses from terrorist attacks and after dozens of legislative elections were disputed this spring demonstrators began taking to the streets calling for his resignation. People here jumped for joy to say a final farewell to mr walker hes no longer our president. Nothing is going well in mali we are all suffering but the does not suit us we must advocate for dialogue above all. Historian joel tong claims that the roots of malis latest insurrection can be traced 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 market doxie in libya engineer by the United States of america and its nato allies particularly britain and france that prove 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 have been waging a brutal and bitter war against the soldiers in mali whom we can kill 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 bomb mco which could have a negative knock horn effect route the neighborhood not least in the wall in guinea. The lebanese president said that hes unable to resign as it would cause a power vacuum calls for michelle to go have been growing since the devastating chemical explosion that ripped through beiruts port earlier in the month. Why. A sweep the lebanese cabinet including the Prime Minister resigned amid mass protests and people blaming the tragedy on government incompetence cover up its just a long going in by rate disaster put added strain on to a country already in the throes of a crippling economic crisis earlier the International Community applied some 300000000. 00 in aid to lebanon the blast itself killed 178. 00 people injured thousands and left more than a quarter of a 1000000 people homeless. They dont stay says offering a financial lifeline to lebanon but only if the government agrees to certain reforms on quarter explains. Massive explosions in beirut yuri hassan rest in its wake and the government. Levanon the chaotic capital in ruins and leaders across the world have no doubt opened up the foreign aid relief valve as a result countries like germany the u. K. And even the u. S. Have stepped in to help out but when you accept money from washington you need to read the fine print when we see lebanese leaders committed to real change change in word and deed america and its International Partners will respond to systemic reforms a sustained Financial Support of course mr hale forgot to mention that u. S. Sanctions are what many to believe the key cause of lebanons economic woes but there is always someone who remembers. You have seen some countries hypocritically trying to portray themselves as defenders of the lebanese people and expressing sympathy for the lebanese people if they are honest they should remove those sanctions that they recently passed against the lebanese government nation and people and stop this hypocrisy and iran definitely knows how that feels that 1st donald trump said hed be willing to give coronavirus aid to iran if it asked for it then when the country needed a 5 1000000000. 00 loan from the i. M. F. To deal with the pandemic washington protested for some reason even the United Nations called on the u. S. To lift its sanctions against the country only to get a big fat no from pompei oh ive heard people talking about sanctions there know that the world should know there are no sanctions that prevent humanitarian assistance medical supplies pharmaceuticals from going to iran and war torn syria its a similar story washington announced a nearly 1000000000. 00 increase in 2020 humanitarian assistance at the very same time that it was creating a brand new sanctions regime against the country we are maintaining our maximum political and economic pressure to suspend the imposition of the sanctions the government of syria must meet similar conditions to a rule go for a country in crisis its not really difficult to get humanitarian aid from washington what they usually have to give in return however might not be that worth it. We talked to a lebanese journalist i say neighbor to him who says that the changes the u. S. Wants on the ones lebanon needs all we have a big struggle in the middle east you know we have we have also other part is trying to do so and their presence in the middle east i mean. You know states like china like us or like iran they have stakes and lock them up so. In that state so long to change fields in looking on to be in line with its interests there is no doubt that love on here needs to change and needs the parent needs also says that weve spent but not in the way that many prime when americans want it theyre.
