These problems right. For a good morning to start of a brand new day month of the 14th of september my names kevin 0 in here at the World News Center moscow with the half hour for you hope you can stay with me then the top story this morning belarus whats happening there the latest developments well they are that rallies again took place throughout sunday calling for president alexander looking to resign in the capital minsk little brutal clashes at times between demonstrators and Security Forces at least 400. 00 arrests were made crowds keeping up the pressure then more than a month after the contested election which look at one with 80 percent of the vote the opposition claims the election was rigged. Because. There were also several counts of protests in minsk on sunday people voiced their support for president looking shanku uncalled for and to the post election unrest. Meantime Alexander Lukashenko plans to meet his russian counterpart Vladimir Putin later monday is the big news today in the black sea resort of sochi covering that for us our correspondent. Hi there morning to you so what can we expect then from the meeting of the 2 president s later on today. Kevin good morning to you and to everyone whos watching well we all know how shaky this Eastern European country has been lately and of course amid fears of potentially a disastrous and violent crisis in this region all eyes are on tsotsi and just do the math the 2 leaders a bit more than a month to meet face to face after the election and many are confident now that the long standing bell russian president will be very keen to seek moscows support after having to deal with all that trouble throughout this entire month back home but if you push the rewind button a bit and listen to what Alexander Lucas franco was saying about his partnership with moscow before the vote you will realize that the leader didnt really minces words when having these conversations he sounded very tough and at one point he even said Something Like we used to be brothers now were just partners however that tone really changed and august we know that the president s of russia and belarus have been on the phone very often after the vote anyway though most likely this time around Alexander Lukashenko a wont wouldnt really like to see him as someone who is heading to russia to beg for help so a little earlier he said that he was coming to cement agreements reached previously. I would like to maintain the momentum very good agreements were made during the visit of Prime Minister michoud to belittle we are working on developing them. You know its been a bit confusing to follow where he wants to be here alexander. A couple of weeks couple of months ago was kind of caught in the west a little bit wasnt he then just this last week he was talking about president putin is being is elder brother eccentric looks like hes coming here for help for assistance what is this partnership how could it work out. Well you see used to go without saying that minsk is a top ally for moscow after the fall of the soviet Union Agreements were signed to form a socalled union state to try and follow in the footsteps of the European Union and the ties between countries there however like i said with all xander look to shank os recent rhetoric cracks began to appear and the pace of that integration is slowly slowed down yet still though there were some enormous joint projects complete or pending for example a Nuclear Power plant in belle reve built together with russia also we know that moscow is a vital lender for bellows and also potentially moscow was ready to write off the death or actually restructure of some of that money that minsk owed moscow so belarus is probably hoping for that to move on and im also for maybe some discounts for commodity and the future so yes a lot of that partnership is still pending so if you managed to get the vibe of what moskos position is here whats most. Looking for in this partnership and how is it going to go forward. Well for the most part here we want to focus on what moscow has been saying about the crisis and ill tell you what the russian side the russian government has stayed away from strong statements for when it comes to criticizing or making assessments or supporting although the russian government has been very firm about one specific thing that it doesnt want any outside interference especially from the west and Vladimir Putin was very clear about that we heard that from the kremlin when he was talking on the phone with european leaders we go through a new we know what they going to say about it this. Is the president s prize they said eccentric cetera what western countries going to say about this meeting today the. Well i let you weigh in he isnt probably the most influential country in the European Union others have bro frayne from calling her the head of the bell russian state so far but weve already received updates on new sanctions against the bell russian government also these kind of threats were coming from across the atlantic the sanctions some of them orally are already in place by the European Union but besides this we do understand that if you look at what the european and the American Media have been saying about this while theyve been busy guessing what this meeting could bring and theyve been busy talking about what theyre calling pollutants plans for beller this speculation has ranged from. Speculating that putin is looking forward to the next seeing bell roofs and toppling Alexander Lukashenko to other kinds of guesses citing Anonymous Sources from the kremlin that one was from bloomberg that kremlin does not believe in the opposition and bella ruse in its strength and that its keen and ready now to give full support to look at what we dont know though today will show i was going to say you want to speculate much longer if you will know what the answer is is the big news today and you are covering it for us come back to us later trying to thank you. The big news rico voted from monday social gatherings in england scotland wales will be limited to the no more than 6 people as the country is tight restrictions in the countries the spite shopping crease and covert infections the socalled rule of 6 bans larger gatherings both indoors and outdoors similar rules. Being employed in scotland wales more or less however there are exceptions with large gatherings still allowed at work schools gyms and places of worship the police have been given powers to crack down on offenders with fines of over 3000. 00 pounds if they get it wrong the average dusty report. Why you would think it was new years eve ok prior to the final of the football world cup to come monday the new rule of 6 restricting me tops of more than half a dozen people will be implemented meaning scenes like this will once again be afraid not sure if thats the kind of begins i mean its a gate crashers brits are living up the last of the freedom.

Organized groups just because you are creating a Massive Public health. Well fritz will seize any opportunity to paint the town brat but this really is the final farewell to a party well making an appearance for. New changes promoting gender equality being considered in the German Armed Forces the countrys Defense Ministry wants to roll out special new forms for military ranks for women critics though say there are far more urgent issues that need to be addressed before all that when it comes to women serving in the army as our europe correspondent peter oliver explains. The latest upgrade to the German Military does very well see any new high tech weaponry or equipment but a with vision of the language used to address female soldiers defense minister. Is expected to make the announcement on choose day while a. K. K. House of being part of the planning of this move it does fit with the type of development she wants to see in the German Armed Forces the minister has not yet been involved in work on this particular issue but in general equality between women and men is a consistent guiding principle in the portfolio of the federal ministry of defense linguistic equality is one of many issues the female form of political rank is well known to germans angle of a is for outcome so that it well her predecessor schroder d was her counselor the changes to military protocol would follow similar lines except for the ranks of top to the colonel which would change the reaction to the news has been far from overwhelmingly positive with some politicians asking if this is really the most pressing issue facing the poem does that today gender equality for me means that military rank doesnt differentiate between genders but that it is about the same rights and duties we need military forces there are operational we keep a bill this is not the time for discussion about general Compliance Service designations for soldiers we have more important things to do can anyone tell me which problem in the armed forces will be solved by gender tranks its nice to have but right now female soldiers do not have adequate protective pass or boots so there are more pressing issues im not a defense official but im pretty sure that we men in the buddhist fair truly have bigger problems than female ranks when viewed alongside the blunders as issues with far right extremism and problems up dating and maintaining equipment this hardly seems like the most glaring of obvious changes phonic today. In. Well well have to wait until tuesday to find out what the defense ministers plans really are the question is to what extent will brains are complying the needs of german women in the business that the outcome would be that people start thinking that the german army is school and feminists open minded and gendered this is a facade to the outside world and the p. R. Strategy of the buddhists than the actual problems whole ever are ignored when you talk to female soldiers mons and criticize completely Different Things like for example missing and defective equipment protective clothing and so on the women in the business may even reject changing the ranks into teammate ranks this whole debate in my opinion is just there to ignore it some other issues in the army like Sexual Harassment right Wing Networks or in the army or the fact that the bonus bet is redundant this is our 2 friends watching this morning and these of sobering pictures a shooting at los angeles the lever in the liberal league targeting 2 Police Officers made high tensions over Police Brutality protesters so much more to this story as well well tell you when we come back this monday the 14th of september. Join me every 1st week on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business im showbusiness ill see that. Again the greek Prime Minister has welcomed the departure of a turkish ship from disputed waters of the mediterranean calling it the 1st step towards deescalation their search fassel was at the center of a riot between ankara and southern countries over oil and Gas Exploration for more than a month over the last week president one exchange some hoss words with his french counterpart then over it for a minute mccrone cold turkey presence in the region an acceptable. Mr mccraw you will have many more problems with me. Dont mess with the turkish nation. Today turkey is no longer a partner in this region turkey is an ally within nato but i would unacceptable practices on the libyan coast so what is this. In its simplest form oil and gas or at least the potential reserves thought to lie and the Mediterranean Sea on the one hand to this turkey which feels it has every right to explore these untapped assets on the other its age old rival greece it contains the areas where turkish vessels are deployed a located above its Continental Shelf so any reserves all greek but the story gets a lot more complicated especially now that other countries have waited. We regret that turkey has not responded to the repeated calls by the European Union to end its unilateral and illegal activities in the Eastern Mediterranean and the aegean sea the leaders of the 7 in you countries on the mediterranean have also banded together saying that they are ready to back sanctions against turkey if showings dialogue we maintain that in absence of progress in engaging turkey into a dialogue and unless it ends its unilateral activities the e. U. Is ready to develop a list of further restrictive measures now one of the overarching disputes in the eastern med is about drilling rights this has exposed deeper issues with 2 military powerhouses fronts and turkey at loggerheads a relationship thats been unraveling some time troops has increased its naval presence in the sea and called for the will. All of turkish requirements and ships in the meantime it stands to benefit from increased tensions between greece and turkey despite a deep recession greece is stocking up on military supplies with a Shopping List worth billions for is likely to take the biggest slice of the pie people it was come to reinforce the armed forces is immediately acquiring a squadron of 18 french fighter jets with replacement of the old. This backs up fears that this is a much more than just an angry exchange of words greek and turkish navy sailors already lined up in parts of the mediterranean diplomats fearing one false move could spark a full blown conflict a conflict that could see strong with nato allies finding themselves on opposing sides but one that could also draw in other actors all with claims that there is potential oil and gas reserves imbedded deep beneath the sea thats egypt cyprus italy libya and thats just the start unless all parties come to the table and negotiate in good faith there really are choppy waters ahead charlotte r. T. Paris. Now next we saw these shocking pictures coming into the break its a case that shocked Los Angeles County in california to local Law Enforcement officers in a Critical Condition after being targeted by a gunman on saturday what authorities describe woodley bush these are the videos of it in this Surveillance Footage the shooter could be seen walking up to a patrol car and opening fire 2 county sheriffs deputies one male one female were inside the vehicle both suffered multiple gunshot wounds manhunt underway for the suspect with a 10000. 00. Reward being offered then on saturday night a crowd showed up outside of the very hospital where the deputies were being treated. 6 according to the l. A. County Sheriffs Office protesters blocked emergency exits and were heard shouting derogatory terms about Law Enforcement 2 people were arrested there were the crowds later dispersed by the police the Bigger Picture the incident follows months of on rest as weve been showing you of a Police Brutality across the u. S. Conservative talk radio host dave perkins says the vicious attacks against police are unlike anything the country seen before in his view. Its a clear is evidence of a complete foundational moral inversion that i have ever seen in all the history of mankind and i never thought i would see it while i was still alive i want you to hear it the level of belief and joy in the voices of the people shouting that they hope those Police Officers die this is the sense that they are morally right that what they are doing has the element of righteousness and proper punishment almost a law of sorts applying to them in which they are right and were wrong and because of that theyre very happy to be doing what theyre doing especially when they get away with it and nobody stops them for any reason theyre getting away with a right now what were seeing i think on a grand scale is an inversion of mortality whats right is wrong and whats wrong is right. Afghanistan some more clashes between Government Forces and the taliban just restoring peace talks got under way saturday those peace talks were part of a troop withdrawal signed between the u. S. And the taliban in february meantime a controversy over alleged bounties on the heads of american soldiers in afghanistan has resurfaced conveniently for some maybe it seems with the u. S. Elections looming as mopin reports. Sometimes stories dont become outdated they simply reemerge when certain political entities need them this summer a huge scandal broke out when it was alleged by u. S. Media that russia was paying bounties to the taliban for the killing of u. S. Soldiers though no concrete evidence to substantiate that was ever provided though many have probably forgotten the story it has now resurfaced conveniently as senators are pushing their rush of bounty response act. Not like the 90 days after the dates of the in the months of this act the 6th state shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees and leadership a strategy on how the United States will diplomatically counter russian influence in the region of south and central asia now the bill would prohibit all property transactions as well as entry to the United States 5 lattimer putin his closest aides along with many prominent political and business individuals in russia quite a stiff bill that goes after their family members and all the major supporters of this deal happen to be democrats they say they want to send a message to the russian president and apparently his american counterpart congress has an obligation to step in and act put in his embolden by president trans competed lieschen and is increasing his aggressive behavior which includes putting bounties on american troops the lives of American Service members are at stake i urge senators on both sides of the aisle to join us in protecting our servicemembers and sending a strong message to putin now its not all about sanctioning putin or criticizing donald trump there happens to be quite a bit of money involved there is all through has to be appropriated 50000000. 00 for each of fiscal years 2021 through 2026 for programming that provides rewards to individuals who provide information on russian bounties against United States forces and additional 30000000. 00 will go to combat the influence of russia in central and southern asia but the bill has still more goals in the minds of its sponsors. The russia bound to response act is necessary to protect americans against peace since bounty driven killing and trumps reprehensible in action strong sanctions and other steps will give peace in the only incentive you understands hitting him and his surrogates where it hurts so its anti russia and trump and it promotes democracy but does it really have much to do with the lives of american soldiers these flames well this illustrates the old age where the Intelligence Community namely it could be claimed that by doing so those sources and methods would be revealed or that it would compromise an Ongoing Investigation ultimately i dont think the rewards will be paid thats because thats not the real into bill here its a matter of public spectacle regardless of those who support or oppose the Trump Presidency i would actually question time. Given how close we are to chipotle actually provided that this bill passes the house it will be voted down long in the senate what are the winds the republican members of the senate have produced in portions to come president to call into question 300 residents in every day alternately undermine their favorite building among registered voters in my opinion. And thats the way things look in so far this monday for me in the team thanks so much for checking out the international for your update this hour came across the tea dont cover any of us social media for that reporting from moscow im kevin i have a great.
