Earlier describe the tactics used by the protesters. What they do is they gather in little groups over the city in various districts where they live and then they could show all of that into a into a huge rally huge much asss happening barden knowledge crowds merging together right now its difficult to tell with the with regards to numbers for perhaps 5000 people behind me more maybe joining the but the impression so far is that there are fewer people than there were last week at this at this time last week last sunday there were many more demonstrators a much larger much nevertheless theyve got their plan theyve got a route through minsk that theyre going to take that the organizers go to lead them down and police are waiting for them which she convoys of police and Law Enforcement zuba about the city owned morning today preparing for this rally preparing for an eventuality tie sharifs block self weve even seen bob wire fences barricades set up a record across the city to keep marches on a specific route that has been the fathers against.

Washington has reimposed the u. N. Sanctions against iran which were in place before the 2015 nuclear deal the move has put the u. S. At odds with some of its closest allies germany france and the u. K. Have pushed back saying america has no authority to reinstate United Nations sanctions unilaterally and the u. N. Secretary general has refused to follow up on the u. S. Declaration citing legal uncertainty but secretary of state might bump aoe has threatened penalties against any country that continues to trade with iran. We need sheeted the snapback process to restore virtually all previously terminated un sanctions if United Nations Member States feel to fulfill their obligations to implementing these sanctions the United States is prepared to use our domestic authorities to impose consequences for those failures and ensure that iran does not read the benefits of un prohibited activity france germany and the United Kingdom know that the us ceased to be a participant in the way following their withdrawal from the deal on the 8th of may 2018 consequently the purported notification is incapable of having legal effect we remain guided by the objective of upholding the authority and integrity of the United Nations security council. The original un sanctions covered uranium enrichment as well as the buying and selling of conventional weapons they were lifted 5 years ago under the nuclear deal however in 2018 the trumpet ministration withdrew from the pact washington says it is taking action now because an arms embargo on iran expires in october irans president Hassan Rouhani has denounced the move saying his country will never give in to pressure while the nations of Foreign Ministry urged washington to have a rethink. Pyometra devotion to own turnarounds message to washington is clear return to the Global Community returning to your again the rebellion and then the Global Community will look simple to you but we heard from political analyst father izadi he thinks the u. S. Is getting drilling support in its approach to iran. In part its been 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 the go into a petition of Un Resolution 2231 and a few countries are going to accept that the u. S. Has a history of mongering so you always have to be careful but the United States Foreign Policy so we have this. Conflict escalating if we hope that president is not in the. Scenario if you behind the polls he should know better not to engage in any military activities against iran advances by the. Russian opposition figure alexina vali continues to recover at a hospital in berlin after coming out of an induced coma but the diplomatic standoff between moscow and berlin over his alleged poisoning has only gotten worse on monday germanys said labs in sweden and france had independently verified that a volley was poisoned by a nerve agent from the nova child group the Global Chemical weapons watchdog is also analyzing the samples russia has requested that information on the case be shared so far to no avail. With their excuses are completely contrived germany says it cant tell us anything it was in direct to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and weve been to the e. U. Several times and they say. We are ready to talk to anyone we want not when in the absence of facts we are pressured into giving an account of ourselves on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns but we are always ready to have a professional conversation. Russian doctors have found no trace of charcoal or any other poison while the volley was in their care moscow has repeatedly stressed its willingness to cooperate with germany to establish exactly what happened. Now and 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 here to investigate this our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting alexina valmy of 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 is taking place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sort out what happened ive been dismissed and a far fetched pretext 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 or 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 or b 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 bad watchdog of becoming politicized by your p. C. Dont you like so Many International concessions its always great to be subject to political pressure and thats critically from of course those the funded largely funded much 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 a 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 in immigration admission of guilt. This video was posted some days ago on the vollies Instagram Account it shows his team searching his hotel room in tomsk shortly after he fell sick wearing surgical gloves they collected evidence in plastic bags which according to the post were passed on to the German Authorities one of the Water Bottles they submitted was said to contain traces of another child we spoke of to the cocreator of that very nerve agent who claims it was if it was used in a volley wouldnt have made it to the plane. It would be found he wouldnt have been able to leave the hotel thats if it was no majok and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in small and not very toxic doses not virtual 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 words to use for this case. Just 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 signs creating a dangerous situation for everyone. A small group of wealthy nations has already bought up all future supplies of covert 1000. 00 vaccines which are currently at the Research Stage that is according to a report by the Oxfam Charity it means that only 13 percent of the worlds population will initially have access to the drugs max lawson the head of oxfams inequality policy division says pharmaceutical companies are putting profits 1st. Its extremely dangerous for the world because rich nations monopolizing the super lawyer potential. But more importantly theyre doing deals with Big Corporation which own defending their intellectual property and i prefer meaning that the soup laws. Banks being own to. Oxfam says there wont be enough vaccine doses to meet Global Demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates are currently undergoing stage 3 Clinical Trials however even if all 5 proved to be success which according to the charity is extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the worlds population will still have to wait until 2022 at least on top of potential drug shortages oxfam says quote the vaccine deals lay bare the inequality between a prosperous and a developing countries to give us an example the u. K. Has managed to secure up to 5 doses per person depending of course on how the trials go well for bangladesh in stark contrast the figure is only one dose for 9 people and again says that prolonged on availability of the vaccine in some countries will result in many unnecessary deaths. Companies like madonna in the us are only sending their backseat to very rich countries theyre setting it up barry high prices somewhere between 16. 00 and 35. 00 a dose and you have to have 2 doses so thats like 70. 00 per person so they have barry clear that they are there doing this 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 vaccine and we need to see. The breaking down of these patent barriers and we need to see open sharing your back same technology to maximize the supply. And effective vaccines all over the world as soon as possible but the huge economic and human cost of it did lie in the variability of the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa brazil if these countries are not getting access to safe and effective but staying until 2022 then they would have more lockdowns their economies would be huge trouble and many many people would dog who do not need to because the vaccine has been artificially russian and private profits of pharmaceutical corporations. Bill to come the sour the israeli Prime Ministers decision to send the country into a 2nd lockdown has caused widespread anger even on the beach thats very much more after a break this is our International Im a weakling. Eh eh. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. And welcome back to the weekly right here on our to international now the shortage of covert 1000 testing in the u. K. Has led teachers to question the safety of reopening schools peoples and staff are among those struggling to get checked. Reports. It wasnt so long ago that seamier british politicians were promising that it was safe for children to finally go back to school i think the crucial thing is that pupils get back to school its much much better for their for their health and Mental Wellbeing their jobs their educational prospects weve made it clear this is compulsory parents do need to be sending their children back to school all the scientific advice is that schools are safe its only a few weeks into the new terminal ready those claims are coming unstuck one Teaching Union is warning that education secretary Gavin Williamson may face legal action because they say schools were opened without proper safeguards being put in place teachers a founding the alarm but a chronic lack of Testing Facilities means that id occasionally england make going to a halt the staff and pupils are forced to stay home School Managements have been doing everything they chant but the government has failed to do their side of things testing is impossible to get hold of social distancing isnt possible in full class sizes i mean infection rates are going up so we have an absolutely chaotic situation where understandably and correctly pupils and staff are being sent home and they have potential sitting timbs but nobody knows if its just a cold or coverage and its a completely lost story and of course the danger is that there will be some situations where in fact we did have an infectious child in the sco but nobody knows because we cant get a test to check one way or the other facing the lack of testing more than 200 school and College Leaders said staff and pupils couldnt book tests locally and were being directed to test centers long distances away and with the government mandating no more than 6 people to meet at a time that encouraging students to get back into the classroom your thirtys the knowledge that the whole situation is in quite some chaos every school has a small supply of home test kits for those. Teaches that conduct says a Testing Center teacher who tested positive had to wait a week for her results i dont deny that it is an enormous challenge with children and teachers unable to get access to tests and essentially being told to get to the back of the queue if they want one union need to say that the government has failed to prepare despite having had months to do so in fear of the country could go back into defacto lockdown once more children are being sent home who cannot get tests and parents are being forced to take 2 weeks off to look after them we will end up with an effective lock down there is an escalating sense that they would end up with a return to lockdown by default its not just with regards to the testing the schools are finding themselves short they also appear to lack the basic hygiene the citys nearly a 3rd of teachers didnt know if theyd have adequate supplies of soap and water while just 18 percent had had from the tides as in every classroom its left parents to question how they supposed to feel that their children will be safe in school when teachers themselves dont seem all that convinced misuse of keep schools open and clear but they have to be Safe Environments and one of the fun things since being back is that you know. Im selftaught on these as we know its eccentricity versus i think you stance would not remind you given that they have a duty we need to test if they need it and obviously weve been seeing which. Is a real entered a 2nd National Lockdown on friday which 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 Minister Binyamin Netanyahu says its a response to the soaring infection rate. I know. We have witnessed another along with the 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 tell you the guidelines. Now yahoos decision has been deeply unpopular hundreds of rallied against the new lockdown measures on the beach in tel aviv on saturday demonstrators danced and chanted slogans accusing the government of mis handling of the covert 1000 crisis. The new restrictions include a 10 people limit on indoor gatherings israelis also wont be able to go further than 500 meters from their homes plus schools and Shopping Centers will be closed and businesses wont be allowed to receive clients and the measures are aimed at reigning in the daily infection rate which has almost doubled since the start of the month there have been more than a 1000 deaths and of the total number of cases exceeds 180000 weve heard from residents in tel aviv about what they think about the new lockdown its very frustrating its killing the economy and many people feel like there is no hope and they dont know what is going on its probably a good thing because cases are rising that the roof so thats what were going to do but i dont think its going to help i expect that infections will go down but theyll go right back up as soon as the clothes are hands honestly it doesnt affect me at all where i live 500 metres i go anywhere i want or do anything i want people i still say dont wear a mask so i really dont understand how this is going to help anything. Graduating from university in the middle of a pandemic has proven challenging for many students but one italian man who survived the Great Depression and world war 2 was undeterred the former Railway Worker finally got his degree this summer at the age of get this 96. And at that after working i retired and said what do i do now i didnt like doing nothing so i started studying. When my mother gave me the money to go and buy breakfast dates instead of buying myself a sandwich with potatoes i went instead to buy books. I seriously wanted to enroll i am a little tired after 3 years of study every evening i finished reading and studying at midnight without exception even on sundays. The life never drank alcohol i always drank milk and i believe this is the secret of my memory then of course reading helps the minds needs to be trained in your. Why that is a for me ill be back with more of the weekly a lets say 44 minutes they were this is art. Cash calendar is downright alfonzo along. This changing page change dard serves our right. His 1st words were had a lot of us here a challenging post youve got 2 years to live. I have no doubt that what happened was criminal. Offense concentrate maki it is a 1000000000. 00 industry these companies have a huge financial motivation to solve these problems there are numerous stockings showing that doctors were keen to chest x. Ray concentrate straight infectivity on that patients wont give them doctors the wrong stoplight long term stuff why they would keep me from sick each of those years day. And people still die and im always question or so i tried being hard to live by and so many have. The world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. Who dares thinks. We dare to ask. Theres a ladder we found. In the desert when somebody jumped over the the wall and then we. We flew for these waters jugs out there and these racist groups are with. And we find shot and shells people shooting at the migrants. 20 years ago i started going out to the desert like were doing right now to bring water to people that are across because the people that are across you know quasi view all the way they jam they cannot get visas theres no visas for these people so they risk their lives crossing of the desert or the mountains or the ocean where other cities by sandy able to theres a wall where theres no cities theres no wall and thats where people cross and thats where people die so every summer more people die because of the wall that exists right now then the entire history of the berlin wall. And you can see this is part of operation gatekeeper 1994 and as we walk through no walk to the end right here just to the bottom of this little hill thats the the a wall though george bush and if you look further down theres no wall. Now is out of doubt most of the people in the United States do not want a wall all of the people in mexico do not want a wall and i guarantee you mexico is not going to pay one penny for that wall because the wall this is stop people the wall kills people. So if trump builds what he wants to build itll be a little longer a little higher itll just take a little longer to cross but its not going to stop anybody
