Response to the rest of the country disputed president ial election as protests there introduce new phase with demonstrators giving hugs and kisses the troops who lowered their shields. Of the morning here in moscow good morning from russia than my name is kevin owen youre watching out international at the weekend 1st this hour the scandal over covert 19 testing is rocked the german state of bavaria some 900 travelers returning to the region tested positive but they were left to bolivias to that because the government failed to deliver the results or your correspondent peter oliver picks up the story theres been a huge blunder in the states if the varia with a 44000 corona test a backlog. 900. 00 of those still waiting for their results and known to have tested positive the man in charge of germanys largest state says hes sorry for the delay is to the example starts to get a relight entire State Government is sorry that these mistakes happened both the minister and also me personally that many people are now unsure as to what happened to their test results. The reason given is the sheer number of people coming into germany from holidays elsewhere and taking covert tests by the roadside and train stations of the area this move was brought in very quickly by the state and the information had not been recorded digitally mistakes happen in such extraordinary times the Officials Say the Bavarian Health minister though had offered her resignation over the blunder. Offered to resign twice and then asked whether she had the courage to continue to carry out these tasks with a she wanted to and could improve cases she said yes markets has made a bit of a reputation for himself during the corona pandemic as a mr fixit that internecine his name touted as a potential successor to chancellor merkel when she steps down ahead of next years election opposition leaders have been quick to use the testing delays to twist the knife on claims hes all talk and no final product even state premier is always presenting himself as a crisis manager and constantly patting himself on the back he also has to take responsibility of point suring that things were when announcing new coronavirus measures he doesnt miss a press conference but when something goes wrong he sends out the Health Minister i would have expected him to have the backbone to step up him self the advice for anyone who still waiting for test results is Pretty Simple just get another test done as germany and the rest of europe brace for a 2nd wave. Of covert 90 peter offer r. T. Early word year countries across europe are now suffering from coronavirus spikes in france for example the daily infection rate has shot up from fewer than 300. 00 images almost 3000. 00 now has prompted the u. K. To include fronts among its latest urgent additions to its quarantine list. For the french government said that unfortunately the virus been going the wrong way there has been a 66 percent increase in the number of test positive tests in the last week alone so unfortunately francis happened to be added to the quarantine list it was very little notice london gave people until 4 am on saturday to return to the u. K. If they wanted to avoid quarantine france of course hugely popular with british tourists and many flocked there after the long the last minute announcements or thousands rushing back to try to beat the deadline creating queues and tell banks that french transport hubs only want to miss the deadline will have to self isolate for 2 weeks upon their return the rule also no applies to anyone coming from the netherlands as well british holidaymakers were given only 24 hours notice about the changes noted raged many travelers of course who wrote that the french regions in fact they were coming from actually had fewer cases than their part of the u. K. Them to go back to france is the 2nd most popular travel destination for brits some 160000 were there when the country got put on the quarantine list not all who wanted to return or been able to do so we caught up with some british travelers who were unhappy with how the u. K. Handled this. Chapel was out busy. So when we was allowed to go where no one of us or late suddenly gave way. I think i made the wrong decision in the 1st yes we wouldnt get wind of the way we pay everything all the facilities needed both. Assume as the government and the gate way there was no way we could get any money back but we have. Very difficult so they put anything in place really thats going to stop the spread. I would very general blanket ban on i mean faith that says that weve got a course in 14 days i think testing is a better option weve already been knocked out for very very long so im. You know what here is painting a well with a spike in the coronavirus cases around the world as predicted russia has now registered its 1st vaccine as we know its now promised to make that available to its citizens in 9 to 12 months time its also offered to share its research with the United States too but to offer those reportedly rejected by washington President Donald Trump has cast doubt on the russian vaccine. You know much about it. We hope it works we do we hope it works theyve cut off certain trials and we just feel its important to go through the process we have numerous different vaccines that we think are going to work but we want to go through a system of. The vaccine was created by russias gamma layer instituted took them only around 5 months of work critics say it didnt pass all the necessary trials and was rushed through we talked to the head of the gum layer institute Alexander Ginzburg then explained just how they managed to get a vaccine so quickly. Proper but this vaccine was created strictly in accordance with russian law this allows a vaccine to be developed more rapidly during an emergency and the coronavirus pandemic is definitely an emergency we havent reduced the number of tests required to prove that the vaccine is safe rather we are running tests in parallel but when the pandemic started we were working on a vaccine against mers which is also a type of corona virus and is more lethal than covert 19 this research had almost completed the 2nd phase of tests so we had all the methodology in place. For over 3500 people have tried this vaccine without suffering any serious side effects just some minor ones that one gets with any type of vaccine for example a slight temperature which can be relieved with a dose of paracetamol and this will be made clear in the instructions for use. The. Vaccine research is conducted in many countries across the world but the russian and soviet school of vaccine creation is a very serious one institute for example we have 4 generations of scientists working together so the knowledge we transmit is not just via papers and Electronic Devices but directly from one person to another when young researcher comes to me i always know which of our scientists can give them appropriate advice someone thats worked in the field for many many years. Absolutely in your bill at the course absolutely not the only feeling was to defend myself my relatives and our population and just to complete the task we had been given namely to find a vaccine and there was also this feeling that many in our profession have many micro punters the need to catch and liquidate it. Protests over sundays disputed Election Results show no sign of dying so far weve seen violence strikes and lines of solidarity but the latest scenes from the capitals Independence Square indicate the direction maybe the protests may head next heres whats been happening when troops protecting the house of government lowered the shields in an apparent sign of solidarity with the demonstrators. I. Think. He made it i think i. Play. That for. The crowd which is a sort of serious square in minsk something absolutely unique and interesting for better or worse is happening here you can see the special police force know in town and forces standing behind me that with the courage in arms thats the house of the government on the other side is where protesters have gathered everything is peaceful no provocations and says we can see offices put down the shells that. Thats the situation knows minsk attractive factory workers arrived here with their banners. And well nothing else is going on. People are chanting slogans let them guide. But all of this is going on thankfully without provocations for now they thought Law Enforcement officers are just openly standing that look at this its a unique picture i havent seen anything like this before. The. Demonstrations being held all across the country saying this he is saying from the city of. Protests as i felt this huge flag the red and white patent use. To represent better reuss has been adopted by the opposition as a response to whats happening in the country meantime president Alexander Lukashenko expressed support for his police and troops though with one qualification. I cannot accuse criticize anyone because i see whats happening in the country but i will insist on this we are slants and if a person is lying on the ground you dont beat them there are limits. Or the better russian president s appears to be trying to rein in his riot police a little the e. U. Has been left dismayed by what its been saying its proposed establishing a dialogue between the 2 sides in a slapping sanctions on better russian officials it says are implicated in the recent violence we asked our guests whether that big enough stick to get better was to change its ways than. There are discussion with the European Union because they are in a difficult situation because on one sacked. They would like of course some political turn to changes in their lives but in the same time they dont want to. Serve their interests most western countries and especially i think germany wants to have that negotiation with me told a moment the sanctions they are talking about are mostly symbolic and not really we will see how the situation will change but i would love for the law and the president of the European Commission said. Critical to show who should be more careful in the way he checks the votes and anger of merkel a spokesman said she was very concerned about Election Results she says it was happening is unacceptable from the European Union point of view you have a very very very delicate situation they dont want to tip. Us they dont want to call for the elimination the removal or. Go instead of saying who would take his place. The building of africas biggest hydroelectric dam could worsen the situation with water supply in sudan and it could aggravate another problem to face in the country ever great tests ways of land turning into desert. That side of the most important fact is leading to dessert if occasion incident cultural and Development Policy has been in the 940 s. And fiftys its Agricultural Policy sought to expand agricultural areas for kish groups such as cool and sesame at the expense of natural forests consequently large areas of natural forest were removed for this purpose and were not recovered again s. S. E. Says one of the main reasons leading up to that is it says it was at the cost. Of 20 years have passed since they got married and started living in this house my difficulties in life come from the encroachments of sand our lands heard. The walls of our houses have fallen and every year i use all the money that i see i need to move sand or build walls everything that earns we used to do that we make the walls of the buildings higher but the sand continues creating towards us. Will be using the weekend from our to international with me kevin now in this hour a good stick around after the break Donald Trump Former lawyer Michael Cohen promises the things the president doesnt want. To read in his new book branded fanfiction by the white but have a spot developing will tell you about it after the break. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this period dramatic developments only. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical. In. Again good morning the u. N. Security councils rejected u. S. Sponsored resolution to extend the arms trade embargo on iran washington only to support from the Dominican Republic while russia and china voted against the draft and other members of state and a 10 year a bug expires in october under the joint comprehensive plan of action the tool for controlling Irans Nuclear program caleb maupin has got the latest for you on it. Well the resolution put forward by the United States would have extended the arms embargo against iran now france germany and other countries have been very vocal about the fact that they oppose the United States decision to unilaterally withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Agreement and furthermore they oppose putting new sanctions on iran now in the lead up to the vote at the u. N. Security council u. S. Diplomats were very adamant that they felt this arms embargo must be extended heres some of what we heard i call upon all Security Council members to wake up to the real world implications of this arms embargo to lapse family or to extend the arms embargo would make a mockery of that sacred responsibility and which the United Nations with credit now prior to the vote in which this resolution failed mike tayo said the United States feels that if this arms embargo is not extended as it was not that the United States will impose these snap back mechanism in the Iran Nuclear Deal and snap back the sanctions on iran this is Mike Papantonio the u. S. Secretary of state i dont want to pay as i said i want to be 2 kids who are deeply aware of this map is an option thats available to the United States and were going to do everything within americas power to ensure that that arms embargo is extended and im confident that we will be successful now the snap back mechanism in the Iran Nuclear Agreement was essentially put in place so that if iran were to violate the j c p o a they would then face the penalty of an immediate snapback of the sanctions of this world and so at the next confrontation which is about the United States seeking to impose socalled snapback inspections that are you know part of the joint comprehensive program of action which are to be implemented if iran is found to be in noncompliance iran of course is not in noncompliance and the United States is no longer a party to this agreement. But the United States is going to seek to take advantage of bad writing of the agreement to impose its will which will soon be a crisis in the Security Council this vote is a meaningless vote its really setting up the larger confrontation now currently mike pompei o. Is in vienna talking with officials from the International AtomicEnergy Agency they say that iran has fully complied with the nuclear deal im not violating my fiance oh says however it doesnt really seem to be a doubt the nuclear deal anymore this isnt about the j. C. B. Away this is about whether the world is going to permit iran to buy and sell Weapons Systems again its that clear its that simple so it seems that the trumpet ministrations policy of imposing maximum pressure on iran and quote ripping up the Iran Nuclear Deal was essentially put to a votes at the body that meets the United Nations and it seems that this policy of the Trump White House seeking to escalate tension with iran was overwhelmingly rejected the United States as you know has a maximum Pressure Campaign on iran they want the iranian government at least the way they put it to change its behavior radically in the region this is part of a much larger u. S. Policy to help its friends saudi arabia israel and to her next enemies and to keep america paramount in the persian gulf the source of so much of the worlds oil 50 percent of the worlds oil supplies this is about control of the International Energy supply. The u. S. Has conducted the largest ever seen here of a write in fuel the news was confirmed in washington by the department of justice about 1100000 barrels was seized from 4 vessels bound for venezuela. The government announced today that it has successfully executed the seizure order and confiscated the cargo from all 4 vessels totaling approximately 1116000 barrels of petroleum so this news comes just a day after u. S. Central command released this video is seeing purportedly showing the iranian navy boarding and briefly seizing an oil tanker off the coast of iran the d. O. J. Claiming it was a counter effort by iran to recover some of its last fuel the confiscation of iranian gasoline heading to venezuela follows a u. S. District court order it stated the cargo was shipped by the Islamic Revolutionary guard which washington reclassified as a terrorist group last year as part of its maximum pressure policy on iran but professor marandi from to run university told us the seizure of this rainy and fuel is closely related he thinks to the u. S. President ial elections. I think it
