Good morning rush hour 11 am here now this thursday the 10th of september money was kevin owen here at r. T. H. Q. With a 30 minute round up for you if you can stay with me to take you through those headlines you heard in more detail a fresh crackdown on the bell or. 2 more high profile figures detained then leaving the groups governing body with just one recognized leader as it stands this morning meantime hundreds of women have rallied in support of another opposition figure held earlier Maria Kolesnik of dozens were reportedly arrested at the protest. Demonstrators held banners and chanted slogans that request a cover is the hero police try to disperse the protesters when that failed they started to make arrests a Senior Correspondent for gas to visit in minsk breaks down the developments today. To compromise here there is very little give in either side president if you can seemingly determined to hold on to power to preserve the state and the system that he has built over the many long years of his rule the protesters undaunted seemingly by the increasingly heavy hand of the lord as an example this is a spontaneous protest last 10 minutes away from us we set out immediately by the time we got that there wasnt a side that there had been just minutes before a violent confrontation so id mock that and scary big burly intimidating men in a mox uniforms without any visible identification fullface mosques shoot up they seized and tied up everyone that looks suspicious and it was over in media minutes it seems that the better russian government recognizing the futility of trying to end these protests is now trying to contain them trying to restrict them to the weekends and that is when we will undoubtedly see tens of thousands of people marching down the streets of mins against president. The the fact that a prominent opposition member maria classical has been arrested will undoubtedly breathe fresh life into these protests because shes a member of the opposition the Coordination Council which is at varying times stated different goals from securing a transition of power to merely organizing new elections fresh elections and shes facing very serious charges of. Right into a fully seize power which has a penalty of 3 to 5 years in jail Maria Kolesnikov his father spoke to r. T. And described the circumstances of her rest to us in the case of the i reported to police my daughters disappearance because there was already a video on the internet and the words there were witness that unknown people pushed marie into a van and took her away now its almost all the words on the internet i had been saying to him maybe youd better leave bill a verse she always replies to me that she would stay until the bitter and and i didnt mind because i know her character and her responsibility according to the official version of events the belorussian governments version. Of opposition figures and members of the Coordination Council if there are violations suddenly decided to leave the country if you ask the opposition and their allies that they give a completely different account they describe pressure psychological and even physical pressure so open fit is being grabbed by the arm put into caused by Security Services driven to the border with ukraine to poland and told to scrap and told to leave the country and many of them have done so one has been arrested at this point there is only one problem at all position figure member of the Coordination Council that is still free that hasnt fled the country or being arrested and not this Straight Line a alex save its famous spell a russian author winner of a new bell prize and she has stabbed her apartment in new dated with foreign diplomats and Embassy Workers who have out of solidarity gathered there to sort of form a human shield around head to try to d discourage president lukashenko from making any moves or trying to arrest her or force out and president. She mainly encouraged is feeling more confident that these protests havent become captive cataclysmic havent grow. Out of control the stills something he can manage and they just dragging on at this point which is perhaps why hes choosing now to strike at the Coordination Council the investigation has brought proof that some people from the socalled Coordination Council have committed actions aimed at destabilizing the situation in better roost and harming National SecurityMaria Kolesnik over has been arrested currently all circumstances in the criminal case of being established the situation here is precarious it is very very tense balance on the knife said and unfortunately with neither side willing to compromise you can see it wanted to see the problem of protesters gone the protesters wanting to see you the shame to god and all it will take really is a spot a little shove a little push to set this team in the box alight and eve that happens these files will bird hawt and the ugly. Pole thickens election of ellies mystery illness with russian experts noting the symptoms are inconsistent with novacek german media citing unnamed sources claimed the russian politician fell victim to a new version of a soviet era poison butlins ignoring moscows calls to share the medical data parsing the volleys test results instead to the Global Chemical weapons watchdog the o. P. C. W. The test results have been handed over to the organization for the perhaps mission of chemical weapons russia is a member of this organization or the diplomatic spot between berlin and moscow is heating up over what happened to alexina vonnie the german ambassador to russia was summoned to the Foreign Ministry in moscow and which hes heard how russia is far from happy and what it sees as accusations coming towards it about the alleged poisoning of Alexei Navalny a strong protest was made to the ambassador of the us. Founded accusations presented by the government of the federal republic of germany against russia in the context of the illness and hospitalisation of russian citizen alexina of only and the obvious use of his situation by berlin as an excuse to discredit our country on the International Arena the g 7 leaders have also issued a joint statement in which they talk about the confident poisoning of alexina folly the statement also calls up for action from moscow the russian Foreign Ministry not particularly happy with that they say that the main obstacle towards action being taken by moscow remains germany not sharing the information it says shows the next election in a valley was poisoned with a nerve agent with russia this point all or requests berlin has not deemed it possible to respond swiftly and constructively a lack of information prevents all or a forced move from using all the necessary procedural mechanisms to find out whats happened and the round in this case is growing ever stronger moscow made those requests for information sharing back on the 27th of august and russia is unlikely to be very happy that this info is going to be passed to the o. P. C. W previously moscow it said should the hague based group be involved in this it would amount to little more than an Information Campaign from the german government. A manger scene change coming to the oscars no report after years of criticism over a lack of diversity seen any film hoping to bag the best picture gone from 2025 will have to meet inclusion standards one of the main characters or a significant supporting character must be a person of color at least 30 percent of the whole cast should be from an underrepresented group at least 2 off screen leadership positions and 30 percent of crew jobs must also go to under represented people there should be similar representation in the films publicize the marketing and distribution teams too but it seems the new rules arent popular with all actors. Well the change comes after claims that the ceremonies were overwhelmingly white movements against that have been growing for years the oscars voting groups also invited no more than 800. 00 new actors and directors in the push for diversity 45 percent of the new parties were women and 35 percent of representatives of racial minorities we put the new diversity rules up for debate. You take a look around the world and you realize that for the most part well what African American people terms what women lead minority needs are not given awards at the same rate and that only. People of color have received Academy Awards only 9 people many people have received can in their wives realize that there is just a cultural bias that exists and so in order to correct that we have to come in on address the issue of. What the represents function is and so even if we have to mandate those numbers its just whats not clear if you go through history a lot of things that have been under represented on. Certain people of ages shirt people of different looks in weeks for you to mandate whether selfimposed by legislation but a mandate sure require me a certain number of people based upon demographics is sheer. Lunacy and an industry that is right now. We know for a fact that the grammy im sorry he asked us and other you know cultural organizations have consistently shown year in year out that they do not have the knack for being inclusive in 2020 were deciding that we want to get a little crazy were going to follow in the path of looking into how we can include more people who have typically read on the outside thats not an i didnt get one from that as nonprofits that is not for me to wrangle in a quote in this column and work it that is not the role of hollywood let me explain something to you if there is a good role with good especially today irrespective of Sexual Identity key shouldnt whether its color if its good its going to work this is not title 19 this is an education this isnt you kid forced affirmative action i guess unless you want to unless you want to just say no lets see what can i ruin now does adding a woman of color just adding a my person from a marginalized community dry god take away something from the creation of the film because films unlike myself creation are not just the concepts of one person as might be known on where we go to see the world around us when we are imagining a future where im looking at the past and can you imagine if i would say you know what i think we need to have more of a representation so im going to force a bunch of but people by virtue of their color into the n. B. A. Or or or here or hip hop because i want to see more of the ballads oh theres no guarantee of equality in music thats the way it is so if its good its good and if its good itll sell. French president mano mccraw bashed removing his face mask at a meeting with students just as the country outlaws not wearing one in public then to make things a rather unfortunately worse he started to cough causing more than a few panic faces. The president coughs outside of his mosque and stretches out his hand to take and return a glass of water straight after no jail no handwashing what can we hope for macron cant stand the fabric masks which is sparingly distributed to teachers however he only spoke for 5 minutes with his what are teachers have to say who are forced to speak with one sometimes for 8 hours per day that the president is laughing at the world what are we expecting that the video to be broadcasted schools will be saying that should not be done. But just as for the rest the world brace for a 2nd wave of the pandemic mask skeptics are rallying on the rise r. T. Shell the depends q. Reports next then on the political headache of the rising movement. Masque so just look around on the streets of paris everywhere people are following the rules but what if youre one of those people who has questioned the whole idea of wearing a mask all effective do they prevent the transmission of 19 and what if youre one of those people who doesnt just question this in private but has actually gone to a protest about that attack on germanys democracy protesters from a demo against the countrys coronavirus restrictions tried to storm the german parliament. This is how the mainstream media. And she looked down protesters has spent the afternoon terrorizing palais city will be made of people. People who think the coronavirus does not exist hundreds of vaccine activists and conspiracy theorists put their faith in science instead of conspiracy theories if they want to avoid getting covert one team thats not being backed up it seems by a study conducted via facebook carried out by the foundation it found that the typical anti mascot here in france is a woman in her fifties shes educated and supports the yellow vests shed refused to have a corona virus vaccine if it was available and she believes in conspiracy theories probably has been the most politicized. Control and i think its because theres a difference. Between the politicians and the scientific of a. d lot of confusion among the general public but when it comes to mosques dig a bit deeper and you find that 3 of the 4 main reasons that respondents gave to objecting to wearing them were not by. Ups and totally unreasonable. They were mosques was breathing difficulties well while of course you can breathe while wearing a mask some people have complained that when its hot out all theyve stepped up the pace wearing a mask isnt the most comfortable or experiences to they are a hive of bacteria well yes there is bacteria all around us and thats why its recommended to wash masks regularly or change them 3 they are useless in preventing 19 contamination the jury is perhaps still live on this one i say that as there is still no consensus that a governmental level here in europe as to whether or not face masks are an essential to in combat in the spread of 19 so while in france and germany for example why dont you sit your face masks has been recommended or made of the tree in the netherlands that was short trial of mask wearing in busy cities was carried out that seems ended while the dutch study their effect if this sweden of course went totally against the grain of the countrys top epidemiologist threw his weight behind the new mask policy saying this is very dangerous to believe facemasks would change the game when it comes to. Even the w h which made a u. Turn and is now recommending face masks says this we still dont know how much protective value fabric must have for the wearer thats why when you wear a mask youre protecting others and when others where the master protecting you were still in the midst of the pandemic in the past several months the medical and the scientific advice has been a constant merry go round so is it so unreasonable. Some People Choose to question more i think because of the conflicting statements from politician and from the World Health Organization as well as from the Scientific Community quite a bit of confusion and uncertainty is in the journal public and that led to some not only distrust but also a bit of flaring up in the journal. And that has i think probably primarily contributed into a more aggressive behavior toward the face covering. My picking up a few stories for yesterday developments sad ones shocking pictures 1st of all these orange clouds from some of the worst ever wildfires on the west coast of the u. S. 6 people including 2 children it killed yesterday in whats going on there more than 2000000 acres have been destroyed in the blaze now elsewhere the aftermath is drawing footage from fire has destroyed europes largest refugee camp on the greek on the footage showing whats left after the blazes left nearly 13000 people without shelter video agencies there usually are unfortunate scenes despite the logistics go live see whats happening there think this camera study these live pictures from these video and see look at this it should be an island paradise but its not for these people its hell theyve now got no home to go to. Try to find a bit of shelter under all of trees on that island according to the greek government there are indications the fire we reported on yesterday the more account was caused by residents of the reform that some would need to go to mandatory isolation after 36 covert 1000 tests came back positive european officials reacting to the incident with sorrow the german f. M. Heiko mass calling the situation a humanitarian disaster such a lot of worry for these people and of course the residents of that island as well completely overwhelms to keep across that really sad story. The rise in covert cases among young people in britain is causing special concern sparking strict new measures promised to Boris Johnson said he had no choice. Im sorry about that and i wish that we did norte have to take this step but as your Prime Minister i must do what is necessary to stop the spread of the virus and to save lives the key measures banning gatherings of more than 6 people including indoors Rule Breakers will be fined coded secure advance and large households are exceptions as well as work in education settings but the country is already reeling from failures in the governments response as k. Partridge reports. Its all about sharp rise in coronavirus cases the governments chief medical advisor chris witty he was also on there with the Prime Minister as well he said that the cases that come up rapidly over the last few days even and the rates are going up in a certain age group as well its among the young people and that has been stately rising since the middle of august position leaders like here star but he also had a few sharp words to say about the governments the you case test intray system and he said that it was on the verge of collapse what we are seeing now is stories over the past few days that is showing that just the regime is on the verge of collapse heartbreaking stories from people who needed to been told no tests are available or the website is crashing or people are being told to go miles and miles for a test nobody can argue that this is Good Governance well this comes at due to the fact that the government would claim that theyre ramping up testing that its more widely available now than ever in fact more tests are being conducted in the u. K. Than across the whole of europe but at the same time as well theres also been a survey conducted amongst medics about how they feel about having to deal on the front line with coronavirus and all of those 69 percent say theyre more likely to quit from the pandemic and government treatment leaving 1143. 00 planning to leave the n. H. S. At the end of it basically were looking at medics who think theyre on the edge of burnout well the scientific basis for all of these measures that was highlighted by the chief medical advisor so chris witty early on if you use the example of spain amongst other European Countries he said that there had been a sharp rise there but if you implement measures to combat that then you can prevent what along theyve been anticipating a 2nd wave. 37000000 people have been forced to flee their homes of washingtons war on terror in the middle east almost quote a very conservative estimate its the finding of the cost of war project by bro university in the us it comes as donald trump pentagon personnel cuts in iraq the very same country were civilians have suffered the most political report.

Troops will be withdrawn from iraq in september in recognition of the great progress their recchi forces have made and in consultation and coordination with the government of iraq and our Coalition Partners the United States has decided to reduce our troop presence in iraq from about 52023000 troops now the u. S. Military presence in afghanistan is possibly going to be reduced as well down to roughly 4500 troops donald trump seems to be fulfilling one of the Campaign Promises of 2016 amid the lead up to the 2020 vote trump a spelling to take into account the real total cost of these military adventures from the United States according to one study 37000000 people have been displaced sense 2001 as a result of the u. S. War on terror and that is a minimum asked a mess because the cost and most wars so many politicians in america almost all of them have been complicit to we have simply put a weapons based economy and we forget about the moral and injustice that being caused to fit a 1000000 and a half people were killed or the people who are displaced at 37000000 people or cant get weve completely balkanized and destroyed africa the middle east but in the upcoming u. S. President ial election its not really clear if these numbers will matter and will have an impact on the vote that determines whether or not donald trump stays in the white house a lot mom artsy new york.
