Good afternoon just turned one of the afternoon moscow time money was kevin though in this is out International Life my world new center one story dominating this out of the Committee Following in great detail. Again taking place throughout sunday calling for president Alexander Lukashenko to resign well talk about that 1st in the capital minsk of a brutal clashes between demonstrators and Security Forces at least 400 arrests were made crowds are keeping up the pressure then after more than a month now the contested election which Alexander Lukashenko won with 80 percent of the vote the opposition though still claiming that election was rigged they say. The pope. There are also several counter protests in minsk on sunday 2 people voicing their support for president looking good and calling for an end to the postelection unrest thats pretty much weve been seeing over the last 4 weeks or so but the main news today Alexander Lukashenko them planning to meet his russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in the black sea resort of sochi in fact we here is in sochi of the 2 havent met just yet but exhibited in a patrol because across it lets talk about what we can expect a nearly a hey good day what can we expect from this meeting of 2 president s after so much has gone on in the last month and fact the way the president has come up this sometimes courting russia sometimes not so what can we expect. Kevin good afternoon well bell reuss has been on the brink of turning into a new file and crisis hot spot in Eastern Europe protesters have been filling the streets but so far the ball russian president has managed to avoid the worst Case Scenario a nationwide strike and a full scale revolution Alexander Lukashenko did call his russian powder counterpart Vladimir Putin very often as he was trying to bring the situation under control and there you have it after a bit more than a month following the election he is in tsotsi we saw him coming out of the plane and the talks between russian and the russian leaders are just about to begin according to the kremlin that will happen in less than an hour and theyre saying precisely at 2 pm moscow time now many are confident that the president will be seeking help from the russian side in the black sea resort of tsotsi after saying many times before the summit that he has no intention of giving up in the crisis. In the earth which in all of this is very painful and even tragic for me but it doesnt mean that im giving up now i must protect what has been built with. The people who have built it and they are an overwhelming majority. Alexander lukashenko is clearly counting on the russian side but you just cant help pointing out that somehow this was completely different just before the vote and if you just look at best if you just look back at what the russian leader was saying about his partnership with russia he didnt mince his words. He sounded very one point he even said Something Like you russians used to be brothers for us now were just partners now soon after that this changed to mr look calling Vladimir Putin his elder brother so that is the kind of contrast that you can see here then all these phone calls etc but i do have to point out that probably Alexander Lukashenko is the man who would like to seem like someone who is in tsotsi just to back her for help so previous the he said that 1st of all hes here to cement the minutes that have been made earlier. What ive been told could learn from the crimean saying this meeting between the 2 president s is likely to happen within the hour in about 2 oclock so about 50 minutes 5 minutes from now so well of easily know more then but how is moscow going to greet the kremlin how is he going to be greeted by russia what is there a. Consensus that its going to be open arms or is going to be a bit more tricky than the. Well kevin just to answer your question 1st of all i want to put this into context after the fall of the soviet union and number of agreements were signed between moscow and minsk to create a socalled union state too so to say poland the footsteps of the European Union and terms of using them as an example of integration and. Well moscow has largely been in favor of deeper ties between the 2 countries but like i said with the kind of rhetoric that we heard from Alexander Lukashenko lately the integration has been slowing down but still you can remember some of the impressive projects that the 2 countries were up to for example the Nuclear Power plant in bella ruse in fact the 2 countries are now a part of a Customs Union there is military cooperation minsk is heavily reliant on Financial Aid from russia and one of the things one of the measures that have been announced by moscow was potentially the restructuring of the russian debt to moscow but i can tell you that all of these things have led to speculation in particular in the western media that this meeting can be used by moscow. Some even call that putins vicious plans for bella ruse to take over to annex reuss and to really put pressure on a weakened president there although when the kremlin spokesperson was asked about this he ruled out any takeover or anything things as a whole. There will not be any kind of unification to take over as a result of this visit the idea is absolute nonsense the business is important especially given the period between bruce is going through. Now whats even more important is what moscows message has been for when it comes to whats happening within bell roofs it refrain from any strong statements of criticism or support or assessment for either of the sides in the crisis within bell rules however one message from the russian government has been very strong and that is the message to the outside world moscow will not accept any outside interference bellerose has to deal with its own issues on its own. In the said if you like to the east of by the wrist about to the west of the western countries circling it especially. While the 1st reaction that we have to think about is from the neighbors of bell routes the Baltic States poland as well we do have to remember that to lift the waning of for example said that they do now recognize. Who was Alexander Lukashenko as rival during the election as the legitimate head of the bell russian state we learned about the sanctions by the Baltic States against bell routes although no united. Decision on sanctions from the European Union as a whole has come yet however one of the latest updates from berlin that we got was that the German Government is expecting joint sanctions by the European Union to be finalized within the next week now when it comes to washington theyre also threatening bell roost with sanctions sorry just to come back to the message from the European Union just take a listen to what that was. The European Union read to read 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 as necessary. Well anyway like you said kevin we are about 55 minutes away from the 1st local summit after the beginning of the crisis in belarus which is very important the whole world is watching its the 1st official visit of the bell russian leader after. He claimed victory in that election we wont get a press conference from the leaders but hopefully some member of the delegation probably someone from the 2 president s offices could shed some light on what happened between the 2 president s as they talk one on one this is the plan so lets wait for it and it sounds like a lot riding on the fridge for better or worse with it either which way trying to from the phones keep us posted throughout the day if you will. New in berlin says its assessment that alexina valmy was poisoned with a chemical nerve agent from the group has been confirmed by labs in france and sweden earlier a German Military lab found traces of the poison in the russian opposition figures bio samples russias request to get access to that evidence is so far than gone unheeded still peter all of it can bring some speed on this so your correspondent in berlin hi get paid you in then what exactly have we heard from the german style a lot of principle for us. What berlin is now saying that 3 laboratories have confirmed that not a chalk or a substance from that of a chalk family was present in samples taken from the lexan of ali weve also heard that the organization for the prohibition of chemical.

P. C. W. Moscow is saying it needs to see evidence. The zulu system cannot work raise questions boldly being speech we hear what statements formal and what measures are being mentioned discussed or in wall. These leaders leads us through the wood rule republican question legion lost in search situations weve won you trace it erk weve pulled those who used to be. The one that won if you demand explanations would do 1st when the people and well compare mills one should with the 1st lady sions uncorroborated by evidence even leases or you see your reasonable.

From todays social gatherings in england scotland wales will be limited to no more than 6 people as the country controversially tightens restrictions amid a sharp increase in covert infractions the socalled rule of 6 than bans large gatherings both indoors and outdoors however there are some exceptions with larger gathering still allowed at work schools gym some places of worship the police should be given extra powers to crack down on offenders with fines of over 3000. 00 pounds if they caught doing wrong the new restrictions are designed to curb or at least to help try to curb the spread of coronavirus on sunday over 3300 people in the u. K. Tested positive for covert a sharp increase in compared with a month ago but the recent spike in cases has failed to deter revelers looking to enjoy themselves a loss to run may be ahead of the ban as r. T. Showed. Reports when you would think it was new years eve ok pride of the final of the football world cup but come monday the new world of 6 restricting meet ups of more than a dozen people. Meaning scenes like this will once again be a free look im not sure if thats the kind of begins i need to get crushes great thing up the last up of freedom. The public was just about getting back to normal or as normal as can be they were told to eat out to help out the starving or sometimes insects leading to a busy month of wining and dining told to travel its rules were allowed and encouraged to get back into the office to kick start the economy when suddenly the u. K. Decided to clamp down again an irony of 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 doing tonight. To celebrate. The last night of great is dont tell us young people to go out and up on the down be like no you cant do that anymore its that except i dont believe that why do you stay to the day when you really say oh i was a couple days off to i think is a good trick however i dont have 6 friends so it does not implement it doesnt mean anything to me im just going to take a bunch of until monday and then ill just make sure to stick to the rule or risk decided to include this 6 day 6 governing band just to stop birthdays from happening bob trying to get all moved before the ballistics and accordingly to the government when its widely known that brits are house a 3rd party and so instead of can think each of gatherings many are just brain and forward to this weekend all the covert infection rates growing again the heights of knocked down illegal rapes occurring or had a reckless level is low but i said complete to be the high says with the most us. I used to love race but i employ. Organized. Because you are creating a Massive Public health disaster. Well brits will seize any opportunity to pay the town brat but this really is the final farewell to a party it was making an appearance for. You know. This is coming up a shoot in los angeles deliberately targets 2 Police Officers cause huge controversy this shocking amid tensions over Police Brutality process. Massive reaction including from President Trump about it will tell you but it was monday the 14th of september but after the break. Seemed wrong were all just dont. Get to shape out this day. And engage. The trail. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person of those great. Dares thinks. We dare to ask. Again years or so before the break its a case that shots at Los Angeles County in california or places normally pretty unshockable to a local Law Enforcement offices in a Critical Condition after being targeted by government on saturday and what authorities have described as a cowardly ambush this is video of it the Surveillance Video you can see the shooter walking up to a patrol car and opening fire. Plain as day 2 county sheriffs deputies one male the other female were inside the vehicle both suffered multiple gunshot wounds a manhunt is underway for the suspect with a 10000. 00 reward being offered today then on saturday night a crowd showing up outside the very hospital where those deputies were being treated. Her. 6 according to the l. A. County Sheriffs Office protest has blocked emergency exits and. Treat. Foresman 2 people were arrested with the crowds later dispersed by the police now the Bigger Picture is involved in reporting of light to you from here that incident follows months of unrest over 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 the clearest 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 the level of believe 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 what they are doing as the element of righteousness and and proper punishment almost a law of sorts applying to them in which they are right and we are 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 more reality whats right is wrong and whats wrong is right. Afghanistan saw more clashes between Government Forces and the taliban just out for a story of peace talks got under way and cats are all about that on saturday the p. Talks were part of a troop withdrawal putte signed between the u. S. And the taliban in february meantime a controversy over alleged bounties on the heads of american soldiers in afghanistan to surface quite conveniently for some it may seem with those u. S. Elections looming as caleb maupin explains. 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. Itself to the dates of the in the months of this the 6th state shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees and leadership a strategy on how the United States with diplomatically 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 it 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 own 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 they russia bound to response act is necessary to protect americans and pieces bounty driven killing and trumps reprehensible in action strong sanctions and other steps will give putin the only incentive he understands hitting him and his surrogates who are so its anti russia and 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 ok nature of the Intelligence Community name wait it can 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 behind the bill here its a matter of public spectacle regardless of those who support or oppose the Trump Presidency i would actually question the timing of this given how close we are to the general election provided that this bill passes the house will be voted down along in the senate along party lines republican members of the senate have tied their careers and fortunes to the Trump Presidency to call into question the president s integrity would ultimately undermine their favor ability among registered Republican Voters in my opinion. Well thats news of course the president looks on look. In the resort of sochi imminently within the hour we think we very instant see what comes of that meeting we should know more over the coming hours you get across it with us or doubt or a social media as we get more on it throughout the day for now that whatever you do wherever youre watching im kevin signing off and have a great monday.
