A good afternoon from moscow this monday the 14th of september when i was kevin owen here with this live program for you for the next 30 minutes from new sent to moscow 1st rallies again took place throat sunday calling for president alexander looking to resign in the capital 1st off there were brutal clashes between demonstrators and Security Forces at least 400. 00 arrests were made crowds are keeping up the pressure more than a month after the contest election which the one with 80 percent of the vote opposition claims the election was rigged. Up the. 4th. And there are also several counter protests and mills called sunday 2 people voicing their support for president looking schenker and calling for an end to the postelection unrest meantime Alexander Lukashenko himself plans to meet his russian counterpart Vladimir Putin later on monday in the black sea resort of sochi in southern russia is on route now apparently to get late storm from our correspondent if a trinket earlier hey there yeah we think its all route this meet is going to happen imminently in a couple of hours or suppose big question is whats going to come out of it what is expected there. Kevin hi again well amid all that turbulence and delarue stuff led to fears of potentially a disastrous crisis yet another one in the region and Eastern Europe that could potentially lead to more violence Alexander Lukashenko is about to meet president Vladimir Putin and saw and just do the math it took the 2 leaders just a bit more than a month to meet face to face we already heard from the belorussian president s office that the talks are going to happen one on one and many are confident that Alexander Lukashenko is going to seek help and we do know that previously he said many times that he has no one tension of giving up yet hes very regretful of this crisis starting back home. To me that the watching all of this is very painful and even tragic for me but it doesnt mean that im giving up now i must protect what is being built with. The people who have built it and they are an overwhelming majority. But when were talking about assumptions that mr Lucas Shankar was heading to saw to ask for some kind of support this is a dramatic twist because if you look back just a little bit and see and listen to what mr lucas ankle was saying before the election we do remember that he didnt mince his words at all while talking about his partnership with moscow he was very tough at one point he said referring to the russians that we used to be brothers now were just partners old later when the crisis began the tone changed completely in august he even called Vladimir Putin his elder brother and of the 2 the leaders have been on the phone very often now theyre meeting face to face. But on the other hand i do have to say that perhaps mr lucas shango doesnt want to find himself in a position when everyones talking about this as some kind of trip to get all the support thats why previously he said that he is on the way to russia to talk about the agreements that were discussed previously between moscow and mintz however it spun never is published i suppose it does look like hes coming to moscow to russia. To help of support how is that going to be greeted really. Well i do have to explain the context here because after the fall of the soviet union a number of agreements were signed between minsk and moscow to form a socalled union state now that is to follow in the footsteps of the European Union in some way and the ties between countries there 2 first the pace was steady but like i said after some of the rhetoric by the by the russian president cracks began to appear in that union then mr lucas sankoh made a u. Turn so now it looks like this alliance is becoming more promising we do remember that there were a number of impressive joint projects between the 2 countries including a Nuclear Power plant that is almost completely then also off i do have to say that minsk is heavily reliant on moscow when it comes to Financial Support and look at angle will probably be looking forward to some of the russian debt being restructured and also some kind of discounts for commodities but in return perhaps what moscow will be seeking is further and stronger integration because this is what the russian. Government has been keen to do with bell rose for a while now in turn this led to speculation and the western media that the russian government could be allegedly using this as a chance to put extra pressure on. The bell russian president who finds himself in a weaker position right now although when the kremlin spokesperson. Was asked about it he said this he ruled that out completely. There will not be any kind of unification to take over as the results of this visit the idea is absolute nonsense the business is important especially given the period been abuses going through now whats absolutely crucial in this case is what moscow has been saying about the crisis within the country itself it refrain from any strong messages although russia does respect the outcome of the elections russia for now is willing to negotiate with the opposition but the strongest message from the russian capital was to outside players particularly in the west moscow doesnt want any outside interference in this Eastern European republic ok lets look in for a minsk east what about if you look minsk west all the countries surrounding it say there is some sort of a tie to type at the end of the day between minsk and moscow whats the west going to say about that i was america going to say about it as well. Well ill tell you what the most aggressive. Countries to speak out on the situation were ironically neighbors of belarus in particular lithuania for example one of the Baltic States that recognized the opposition candidate said lalage coming out as the head of the bell russian state we already saw sanctions from some of the e. U. Members in particular the Baltic States so far when it comes to the new as a whole weve only heard threats and here is one example. The European Union read to rates its determination to impose sanctions on individuals responsible for violence the repression of peaceful protests and if ossification of Election Results and is ready to take further restrictive measures ask necessary. Well if we look further across the atlantic certainly in washington all d eyes will be on tsotsi as well to try and hear what comes out of this. Putin summit we heard about threats from across the atlantic for sanctions against the bell russian government as well so far no specific moves have been made but just to come back to the talks themselves we heard from the offices of the 2 president s that no press conference will follow these talks so it will be difficult to get all these details although we are very keen to somehow try and get them to try and squeeze them out because this is indeed crucial as Alexander Lukashenko 1st official visit after the crisis began after this controversial election was over indeed it is ok well let you stay across when you get some details out from sochi dont know when its going to come maybe later on the sauce new c. V. Maybe tomorrow we dont know tell us about it let us know things for now. From a monday today social gatherings in england scotland and wales will be limited to no more than 6 people as the country tightens restrictions have made a sharp increase in covert infections the socalled rule of 6 then bans logic gatherings both indoors and out however there are exceptions with large gathering still allowed at work schools gyms and places of worship the policeman given powers to crack down on offenders with fines of over 3000 pounds. Or so. While you would think it was years evoke a pride of the fun of the football world cup but come monday they need one of 6 restricting meet ups at more than a dozen people will be implemented meaning scenes like this will once again be afraid up down not sure if thats the kind of the kids i mean its a cake or. Ashas brits are living up the last of freedom. The public was just about getting back to normal or a syllable is coming they were told to eat out to help out the stuffing was the talking sector leading to a very busy month of wining and dining told the travelers rules were locked and encouraged to get back into the office to kick start the economy when suddenly the u. K. Decided to clamp down again on irenaeus the timing of it and says the exemptions causing confusion many brits upon seeing like its the last orders oh wait its also this yeah everyones here tonight.

People going to school because you are creating a Massive Public health. Well brits will see any opportunity to pay the town brat but this really is the final farewell to a party well making an appearance for. A new change of promoting gender equality being considered in the German Armed Forces the countrys Defense Ministry wanting to roll out special new forms of military ranks for women the but critics say there are far more urgent issues that need to be addressed 1st when it comes to women serving in the army as our europe correspondent peter all of her explains the latest upgrade to the German Military deployment is fair wont 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 tuesday while a. K. K. Hasnt been part of the planning of this move it does fit with the telling 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 anglo merkel is frau consulate in well her predecessor schroder d was her counselor the changes to military protocol would follow similar lines except for the ranks of tapped and colonel which will 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 there. 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 only capable 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 vests or boots so there are more pressing issues im not a defense official but im pretty sure that women in the buddhist fare truly have bigger problems than female ranks when viewed alongside the both of us as issues with far right extremism and problems updating taining equipment this hardly seems like the most glaring of obvious changes for on it could accomplish. But will have to wait until tuesday to find out what the defense ministers plans really are the question as to what extend will brain start complying and 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 blueness down the actual problems whole ever are ignored when you talk to female soldiers they demands and criticize completely Different Things like for example missing and defective equipment protective clothing and so on women in the business may even reject changing the ranks into female 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. Still ahead right here this shooting in los angeles deliberately targeting 2 Police Officers amid high. Tensions over Police Brutality protests massive reaction including from President Trump in a places pretty much on shock a bill to it has to be said stay with me kevin i would for more on but this monday the 14th of september. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person with those words. No dares thinks. We dare to ask. Anyone else child small seemed wrong quotes just dont call. Me. Yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in games from an equal trail. One song many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Again the greek Prime Minister has welcomed the departure of a turkish ship from disputed waters in the mediterranean calling it the 1st step towards deescalation research 1st it was at the center of a row than between ankara and southern e. U. Countries over oil and Gas Exploration for more than a month over the last week president exchanged some pretty harsh words with his french counterpart of her money will mccrone called turkeys presence in the region unacceptable. Mr mccraw you will have many more problems. Dont mess with the turkish nation. Today turkey is no longer a partner in this region turkey is an ally within nato but an ally which is engaged in unacceptable practices on the libyan coast so what is this all about in its simplest form oiling guess or at least the potential reserves thought to lie and the Mediterranean Sea on the one hand there is turkey which feels it has every right to explore these untapped sits on the other its age old rival greece it contends the areas where turkish vessels are deployed are located above its quota until shelf so any reserves are 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 7 in new countries on the mediterranean have also bonded together saying that the. They are ready to back sanctions against turkey if shuns 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 france has increased its naval presence in the sea and called for the withdrawal of turkish pulis 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 was come to reinforce the armed forces. Acquiring a squadron of 18 french fighter jets with replacement of the old. This banks up 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 could spark a full blown conflict a conflict. Strong with nato allies finding themselves on opposing sides but one that could also truer in other actors all with claims to those 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. So lets even ski ot see paris. In a case thats shocked slawson julies county of all places in california a place is not often shocked to local Law Enforcement officers are in Critical Condition after being targeted by government on saturday and what authorities have described as a cowardly ambush check this Surveillance Video of them the shooting can be seen walking up to a patrol car and opening fire to county sheriffs deputies one male the other female were inside the vehicle both suffered multiple gunshot wounds a manhunt underway for the suspect with a 10000. 00 reward being offered then on saturday night a crowd showed up outside the hospital where those deputies were being treated. Oh. Cording 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 with the crowd later dispersed by police because then theres the Bigger Picture that weve often been talking about here on this channel the incident follows months ago and rest of a Police Brutality across the u. S. Conservative talk radio host dave perkins told us the vicious attacks against police that you saw there are like anything the country seen before in his view. Here 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 all sorts of flying to them in which they are right and we are wrong and because of that they are 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 there 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 sold more clashes between Government Forces and the taliban just. Peace talks got underway in qatar on saturday those peace talks supposed troop withdrawal that was signed between the us and the taliban in february made time controversy over alleged on the heads of american soldiers in afghanistan. Quite conveniently maybe it seems with those elections looming is. 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 and it has now resurfaced conveniently as senators are pushing their rush of bounty response act. To the dates of the in the months of the 6 to station. Submit to the appropriate congressional committees and leadership a strategy on how the United States with 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 by Vladimir 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 authorized 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 petes in the only incentive you understands hitting him and his sorry gets where its so its anti russia anti trump and it promotes democracy but does it really have much to do with the lives of american soldiers that remains of question i would expect any clearer compelling evidence to be made to support these claims 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 and thats because thats not the real into behind the bill here its a matter of public spectacle regardless of those who support or oppose the trial presidency i would actually question time this given how close we are to general election provided that this bill passes the house we will be voting down the line in the senate one party lines republican members of the senate have tied the critters and fortunes to trump president c. E. O. Of the what you call into question 300 the president s integrity did alternately undermine their favorite building among registered Republican Voters in my opinion. Just let you know again if you join us well keep an eye on the main story today may present a better recently come to shine in russia shortly to talk with. The lead him a potent its going to be big news later on today you can get across to the team theyll call for now though by. From.
