Denied access because of it years to. Their good morning one is kevin a welcome to the weekly from r. T. International here in moscow a round of all the big stories of the last 7 days as reported by us to you 1st the russian opposition figure. On the path to recovery at a hospital in berlin after coming out of an inch used coma last week hes since revealed his intention to return to russia as soon as hes fighting fit again meantime the diplomatic row between moscow and berlin over the alleged poisoning only got worse on monday germany said labs in sweden and france said independently verified that the valley was poisoned by a nerve agent of the group the Global Chemical weapons watchdog is also analyzing the samples russias prosecutor generals demanded that information be shared but so far better no avail. With their excuses are completely contrived germany says it cant tell us anything in direct says to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons weve been to the p c w several times and they say talk to. We are ready to talk to anyone but not when. In the absence of facts we are pressured into giving an account of ourselves on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns we are always ready to have a professional conversation. So rusher insisted stock has found no trace of novacek or any other poison there was in their care moscows repeatedly stressed its willingness to cooperate with germany in order to establish exactly what happened he goes down off looks at the controversy surrounding the case. Alexina volley is recovering whatever it was killing his body is on retreat and the politician seems to be almost out of these woods so concerns over his health make room for concerns over what exactly happened and europe is demanding that russia aids the investigation installations arise which only the russian government can and must answer we continue calling us year to investigate this our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting alexina valmy die in the 1st crucial hours after the politician fell sick russia contributed by opening its airspace to a team of german doctors letting them visit russia contributed by eventually putting him on a german rescue plane allowing the value to be airlifted to berlin and by offering its medical data to german colleagues so now russia says the ball is in germanys court moscow current aid the investigation if its kept in the dark on emerging evidence should the press with enough when it all all this a 2nd place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sort out what happened ive been dismissed and the far fetched pretexts thats hurdles are brought into the race because berlin starts playing a game of all take and no give russia can get the results of the expertise made in german labs since it will reveal too much of the german armys capabilities too much but only to russias eyes apparently because berlin had no problem with sharing its data with almost 200 other nations Member States of the or b c w we are very negatively the fact that germany refusing to assist the russian Law Enforcement agencies secretly transferred no boundaries test data to its trusted partners it is clear that this was done with a political purpose. So that france and sweden would automatically confirm unfounded accusations against russia but wait russia is a member state of the o. P. C. W. And that means it finally has all the time in the world to scrupulously study everything the germany could find right wrong the only thing that it actually means is that russia can hop on the merry go round of rejections because berlin tells moscow it can get everything from the o. P. C. W. And the o p c w saying the exact opposite bumping russia right back to berlin russia is in a loop which doesnt really help o. P. C. W. s reputation with moscow as russia had previously accused the un bag watchdog of becoming politicized player p. C. Dont you like so Many International commands actions its always great to be subject to political pressure and thats critically from of course those the fund it largely funded thats largely the western powers weve seen with the p. C. To abuse role in investigating alleged Chemical Attacks in syria but its investigations have tended to ascribe blame have been riddled with inconsistences and problems that will not rise in independent investigation but that there appears to be scope for political interference and pressure to take close we saw a similar situation in respect to the case where. It was very reluctant to share its information with russia in respect of it what do you have to discover in terms of chemical analysis and so on giving no access to evidence keeping waters murky playing every bureaucratic trick in the book this is how the e. U. Is shutting out russias investigators also raising the sanctions guillotine over the country almost like it wants no investigation from russia but an integration admission of guilt. Then in a post foreign of alis Instagram Account a video showing his team searching his hotel room in thompson shortly after news had broken that hed fall and severely ill wearing surgical gloves they collect evidence in plastic bags which according to the post with them passed on to the German Authorities one of the Water Bottles they submitted was said to contain traces of nova chalk but one of the cocreators of the very same nerve agents they did rink spoke to us directly and if that was used then the volley would never of even made it to the plane it was travelling on. It would be. Wouldnt have been able to leave the hotel to last if it was normal and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in smaller not very toxic doses provokes pupil contraction in such a way a person would be almost blind so could barely move so even with only very mild exposure he wouldnt have been able to get on a plane there are photos of him in the hotel in the plane in the russian hospital and yet we cant see any of the symptoms poisoning and novacek and not worse to use for this case. Richard that they definitely would get something they had just simple surgical gloves and thats it and also imagine a bottle that has traces of the substance on the outside it would be a very smart person who would try to fill a bottle with such a dangerous liquid and spill it all down the sides creating a dangerous situation for everyone. To government protesters of again be venting their anger over august disputed election the countrys been rocked by a 6 weeks of opposition demonstrations now on saturday protesters mostly female gathered in the capital minutes demanding president looking to step down Police Arrested some of those rallying on the streets the exact number to taint is unclear but Rights Groups claim it was more than 300. 00 meantime opposition candidates for the taken off sky is expected to take part in a meeting with e. U. Foreign ministers in brussels on monday the move been condemned by both the belarusian and russian governments our Senior Correspondent word of this from minsk. On saturday and throughout this week there have been far fewer people attending again view a demonstration spontaneous protest that weve seen rocking belo us over the past month or so police by feeling emboldened by the lack of at and deeds have. Made themselves seen and known that the many arrests dozens upon dozens of protesters and activists arrested detained taken to Police Station and Holding Cells but it is sunday that is the big day of protests here in belarus where we could expect to see thousands upon thousands of people gather together rallies and march down the streets of minsk against the government it is the traditional day of protest we will see how numbers out of what you know what sort of numbers turn out for that but while there have been they may have been a lull in a few a few people coming out of a protest soufan this week there has been an uptick on the geopolitical fraud on the diplomatic front with the with an escalation in the relations between the European Union and better. Been invited to attend a meeting of the Foreign Ministers of european states which is which is you know certainly certainly shows how high a stock has risen in the ranks of in the minds of european politicians or indeed depending on who you are how high they have elevated stud better is this come out here and said that you know the mosque all mosques are off the European Union has shown its true colors that they have meddling that this is an attack on the sovereignty of belarus and the independence of belarus and russia has come out and said that the this meeting represents a u. Turn europes previously stated goals of staying out of it and respecting the dependence on the will of the better russian people. We consider such contact if it takes place as more evidence of the European Unions departure from statements that they made and their regard in the absence of geopolitics in the situation with. With regards to this diplomatic escalation that i mentioned the European Parliament came out and voted on a nonbinding resolutions of 2 more of a recommendation but a very harsh one calling on the heads of states of the European Union that the leaders of the European Union not to recognize president you can shake up as the legitimate leader of belarus once his official term is up moreover they are calling for sanctions for pressure on bellerose and russia for example has come out and said that this is counterproductive that this flies in the face of what the European Union has called for that called on previously which is deescalation which is dialogue and which is to to leave belarus to decide for itself on what path and what course to proceed and russia said says that if these if these harsh sanctions are put in place that they will be called sequences. Our position in relation to sanction instruments used by the European Union is well known it is illegitimate from the point of view of International Law and is an unacceptable interference internal affairs and the context of the situation and valorous it contradicts the call of restore instability establishing dialogue launching their constitutional process and these intentions of which represented have spoke so much about the ra clearly attempts to rock the boat and brussels should not be surprised that retaliated to remeasure will follow previously the president of the European Council that come out and openly said that the brutus the belarus are not about geopolitics and that the European Union firmly stabs behind the better russian people who have the right to decide their own future but since then opinions have apparently changed in the chambers of the European Union and the European Union has taken a much more active role in deciding who leads belarus and making sure that the European Union gets a 3rd say in how things are done here on out also this week to Alexander Lukashenko flew here to russia to meet his counterpart Vladimir Putin the president s discuss the future of minsk moscow toys hooted stressed the bellary should handle the crisis through dialogue with its citizens without any external pressure moscow also announced a 1500000000. 00 loan from its. A small group of wealthy nations has already secured over half of the envisioned future supply of covert 19 vaccines according to a report by the Oxfam Charity it means only 13 percent of the worlds population will initially have access to this sort of drug marks lorson is how the vox firms inequality policy division he told us this is a consequence of pharmaceutical Companies Seeking to maximize profits. Its extremely dangerous for the world because a rich nation monopolizing the supply of a potential banksy but more importantly theyre doing deals with big promise huge corporations which are defending their intellectual property and their profits meaning that the supplying all vaccine is being artificially limited. So bracing to hear theyre not saying they wont be enough vaccines to go around to meet Global Demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates that they are for which nations across the world sealed the deal are currently undergoing the final stage of Clinical Trials however even if all 5 proved to be a success which according to the charity is extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the worlds population will still have to wait until at least 2022 on top attentional drug shortages oxfam further says that the vaccine deals lay really bare the inequality between prosperous and developing nations case in point this for example the u. K. Has managed to secure up to 5 doses per person depending of course on how the trials go well if you look at bangladesh in stark contrast the figure is only one dose per 9 papal max lost again says the prolonged and availability of the vaccine in some countries is going to result very seriously in many unnecessary deaths Companies Like their own are in the us are only selling their backs into very rich countries theyre selling it at a very high price somewhere between 16 and 35. 00 a dose and you have to have 2 doses so thats like 70. 00 per person so they are very clear that they are there doing things to make a profit and they want to make money from this vaccine what were saying is we need a peoples backs not a profit really to see. The breaking down of the painting barrier and we need to see open sharing of banks in technology to maximize the supply. And effective vaccines all over the world as soon as possible the huge economic and human cost of the delay in the variability of the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa of brazil if these countries are not getting access to safe. Until 2022 then theyre in they would have more locked down. Their economies would be huge trouble and many many people would die and we do not need to calls that vaccine has been how to fish in the russian and private profits of pharmaceutical corporations. And this countrys value for vaccines israel and to the 2nd national yesterday friday sparking protests is expected to last as long as least 3 weeks will tell you. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sport im showbusiness ill see that. Again 18 past 10 of the morning are sunday morning here in moscow so as we were saying before the break israel into the 2nd National Lockdown on friday is expected to last at least 3 weeks the anti covert measure came into force just hours before the start of the jewish new year Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says its a response to the soaring infection rate and the holy doom learned we have witnessed another alarming increase in deaths and the continued increase in the number of critically ill patients as many of the experts have recommended we may have no choice but to tighten the guidelines as decision is deeply unpopular with an already pandemic weary public hundreds rallied against the new law measures on a beach in tel aviv on saturday demonstrators were dancing and chanting slogans accusing the government of mishandling the coburg 19 for its. New destructions included 10 people limits on indoor gatherings israeli also wont be able to israelis will be able go further than 500 meters from their homes plus schools and Shopping Centers will be closed and businesses wont be able to receive clients these measures are aimed at trying to rein in the daily infection rate its almost doubled since the start of the month the total number of cases exceeds 118000 and counting with more than a 1000 deaths israelis told us they feel frustrated though about the new law. Its very frustrating its killing the economy and many people feel like it theres no hope and they dont know what is going on its probably a good thing because cases are rising that the rule so thats what were going to do but i dont think its going to help i expect that instructions will go down but the right back up person is the cause or hangs honestly it doesnt affect me at all where i live 500 meters i go anywhere i want i do anything i want people i still say dont wear a mask so i really dont understand how this is going to help anything new and now this morning the u. S. Has unilaterally imposed sanctions on iran relating to its Nuclear Enrichment activities washingtons allies have been quick to react casting doubt on the legality of the move the secretary of state says a range of penalties being considered for those who violate the restrictions we need sheeted the snapback process to restore virtually all previously terminated un sanctions if you when Member States feel to fulfill their obligations to implementing these sanctions the United States is prepared to use or domestic authorities to boost consequences for those feelers and ensure that iran does not read the benefits of un prohibited activities there would appear to be uncertainty whether or not the process was indeed initiated and concomitantly whether or not the sanctions terminations continue in effect does not for the secretary general to proceed as if no such uncertainty exists so the original sanctions covered uranium enrichment as well as the buying and selling of conventional weapons they were lifted out of the 2050 nuclear deal however the big twist came into the 18 when the trumpet ministration unilaterally withdrew from that agreement washington says its taking action now as an arms embargo on iran expires in october paving the way they worry for to run to buy conventional weapons from russia and china. Or maybe not the International Community must decide by itself whether to stand up to the bullying unfortunately due to the us influence on Financial Markets they could apply pressure with financial sanctions of course those applying the sanctions say we did that even though we know theyre illegal since theyre powerful but its they havent noticed that the same principles will work for them too. For dessert is professor of political communication at the university of to run lets see what hes got to think about this time today americas history making and breaking the rules as it goes along here can it really perform this snapback or not. In practice no because theres not going to be any partners thats going to accept that premise. The u. S. Is isolated in the unusual manner and whats going to happen is that the u. S. Is going to use force to pressure other countries to accept legal interpretation of the u. N. Theres a mission 2231 and few countries are going to accept that so today is not going to be much different from what we had last week or britain germany and france says this declaration of the snapback has got no legal force nonetheless america on the face of it donald trump saying were going to do something what possibly could they do. You know we have seen the Trump Administration engaging in very. High level of. Pressure on iran they. Have a senate that iranian general they have engaged in sabotage inside the country they have done a lot against iran in the last 3 or 4 years and the u. S. Has a history of mongering so you always have to be careful but the United States foreign policy. What the u. S. Is claiming is that they may. Try to a stop you know in the end ships to inspect iranian ships in gauge in tehran activities and what iranian leaders have said is that theyre going to respond and theyre going to responsive merely so we have this. Conflict. Think we hope that the president is not interested in the dog. Scenario if he is. Behind the polls he should know better not to engage in any military activities against him going to cause a bounce is part of the backdrop to this were in the middle of election fever there now in america the big election coming up just in november i suppose some of this could be posturing could it you answer i dont know and also how isolated really is america here and of the day you know what you know is that in the last in the next 4050 days the only think that trump thinks about is his reelection and if he thinks having a military confrontation with iran helps that goal he does not have any. Limits in gauging activities that may actually cause people dying so we always have to be careful but i think. A stance of other countries including russia and European Countries and china against what the u. S. Is doing is going to make us adventurism harsher and they should know the u. S. Government should know better that iran is a powerful country militarily and gauging militarily with your own is going to cause difficulties for it youre also comes with a soft money and a stake at the u. N. General assembly thats coming up soon i wonder what we can expect this year just looking at that for a minute. You know we have reports that tom in his speech is going to talk about what they did last night using. Claiming to use snap back mccann as them i think irans president is going to also speak and hes going to dispute that and i think if you look at the countries of the world they are siding with iran and not siding with the United States so u. S. Is more isolated now than the u. S. Has been in many decades and theyre engaging in activities that actually threatening the United Nations and the u. N. Security council one would expect that a permanent member of the u. N. Security council would respect International Law more than others what the u. S. Is doing is why elating International Law and is threatening to sanction other countries that would want to. Follow International Law and follow u. N. Theres a push and as we speak any country thats following 2231 is punished by the United States and this is not thats very common and should not be accepted by other countries and is not accepted and photos are they prefer simplicial communication at university of toronto spit on the program have a good day thank you and thank you for watching too thats a snapshot of the way some of the big stories of the last 7 days as reported by our city without international to you here in moscow at exactly 27 minutes past 8 of the morning of a great.
