And of the United Kingdom has set its sights on those involved in the murder of john g. As it unveiled its 1st you know National Sanctions since leaving the European Union 49 individuals and organizations have been sanctioned on of the governments new system to punish human rights offenders russian authorities implicated in the death of lawyer Sergey Magnitsky have also been targeted sanction individuals will be barred from entering the u.

There is a blood on the hands of the thugs that is free to once into this country to buy property on the kings road road to do their Christmas Shopping in knightsbridge or frankly to siphon dirty money to produce banks rather Financial Institutions so you go has more on the governments new scheme dominic rob made no bones about exactly what he wanted to come out of this law he put it in very strong terms indeed and its almost a sort of personal project of his hed have 1st raised this back in 2012 he is of course from human rights lawyer background as well he has consistently kept in contact with the widow of gay magnitsky. And so for him its got that personal touch with changing British Foreign policy perhaps from what has been criticized that it would be perhaps compromise in the aftermath of brecks it to try and form strategic relationships with our eyes who perhaps have huge. Problems with human rights such as saudi arabia for example but this is trying to be put the human rights aspect front and center ahead of those strategic relations with which britain can now go forward with our lives fully leaves the transition period of bricks it. Well bill browder wet twist Sergei Magnitsky and is the head of a cable and its kate Justice Campaign he joins us now via skype from london thanks very much indeed for being with us see how significant do you see this move and. Well ive been working on this campaign to get magnitsky act passed in the United Kingdom for 10 years. Weve weve fought and struggled with multiple governments both labor and conservative and after 10 years we finally had a breakthrough which was today and so i view it as a huge milestone i think it is a Huge Development way beyond the magnitsky case to. Is basically the new technology for the British Government and other governments to apply it towards atrocities and human rights abuse and why do they have done it now. Well part of it is very personal as you mention in your report dominic rabbit was someone who i met 8 years ago i explained to him the case of the evidence of what happened in syria magnitsky and he was so shocked and appalled by the story that he took it on as his personal mission and since then hes been shepherding it through multiple parliaments multiple governments until he was the foreign secretary and as the foreign secretary hes taken taken this as a personal project to bring it to fruition and so its for our respective the planets lined up perfectly and we had the one the one person who truly understood it had the power to do something about it how i think that effective is it there to sanction individuals rather than a government. Much more effective because when you sanction the government nobody cares but if you sanction individuals the people who are sanction care care and those who are afraid of being sanctioned also here and so it creates a climate of fear among human rights violators and tortures that either they have theyve lost their ability to travel and spend money in the west or they may lose it coming up and when you have personal consequences its absolutely much more effective what do you think that the reaction and retaliation from russia over this well weve already is weve already been through this a number of times there are 6 other countries that have magnitsky x. United States Canada the baltics donia latvia lithuania russia always huffs and puffs but at the end of the day what they do is they they apply sanctions to u. S. Officials for example so they can travel to russia but most of them dont want to travel to russia and they certainly dont want to keep their money at the nest for bankers their bank and so its kind of an asymmetric retaliation or actually its a symmetric retaliation that doesnt have any impact if they try to asymmetric asymmetrically retaliate theres really not that much they can do and so its. You know its something which which really puts big western countries like the u. K. U. S. And canada in the drivers seat took to mean for instance one of the the russian sanctions is sending in kids alexander estrich in close ally of the tennant head of Russias Investigative Committee and he was sanctioned already by the u. S. Understanding in 2017 how much difference as it made to him and is he one of these people who turned up in london and had property and money and stuff it. Im not sure if he has property or money in london although it wouldnt surprise me if he did but what you have to understand is this not just about alexander best reagan hes hes the most important Law Enforcement officer in in russia if if the u. K. And the u. S. Can sanction that person then anybody below him can be sanctioned and theyre all sitting there in fear that they might be sanctioned one day and that that puts the climate of fear or it creates a an environment where theyre not so comfortable doing these terrible things that they are normally do the right of really appreciate you talking to us and im just here thank you thank you and with more than 530000 people dead they coronavirus pandemic is showing no signs of slowing but the focus of attention has shifted yet again as india surges possible to become the 3rd hardest hit nation with nearly 700000 infections well the cases per capita remain low to the outbreak that isnt expected to peak for several more weeks and is now only behind the u.

It took. 17 years to build the taj mahal in the 17th century and for those wishing to see the mob a muslim for his wife the wait just got longer. We were very excited about coming here my daughters been frustrated and so were we after sitting at home for weeks so we decided to come here when we heard that it was going to open but now were disappointed. The Indian Government open the many monuments on monday for the 1st time since march but the taj mahal will remain shut because its surrounded by areas under quarantine elsewhere in the country few people wanted to venture out given the rising number of coronavirus cases delhis most famous tower the 12th century cut is usually one of the most popular tourist sites in the country with 8000. 00 visitors a day but in the 8 hours since its reopened only about 50 people have come to visit. With International Flights still suspended many who depend on tourism a worried about how theyll survive really all guides already voted on a speaking because cases are not declining theyre going up because there will be fear in the psychology of the us. About going to a new place and that is definitely has a negative impact not only in delhi would all order india. The Indian Government says its tested 10000000. 00 people so far but it still has one of the lowest tested rates per capita in the world reported cases. On the true numbers of infections that are probably in the 10s of millions of. This point in time for now its going to keep continuing to get some of the hundreds of billions of cases. And i dont really see a reason for a reprieve at this point in time because we really dont have an effective control measure.

C.

S. President over the weekend really tried to downplay this number saying that the reason that there is an increase is because theres more testing going on in that 99 percent of the people to get coronavirus well that harmless this is certainly something that the new york governor has pushed back on. The president dont be a coconspirator of covert do one simple thing acknowledge to the American People that covert exists it is a major problem its going to continue. Until we admitted each of those students to do our work poured. Well the u. S.
