World powers reject a us call to reimpose. Over the Nuclear Deal Washington quit 2 years ago. One minute past midday in lima 11 pm and 8 in the evening right here in moscow this friday august 21st welcome to international. Rallies kuntar protests are sweeping belarus for a 3rd day in the wake of the disputed election there throughout today friday large crowds have been gathering in support of president lukashenko in the countrys west r. T. C. Chorus down off reports. Right so whats the. City. Looks. The great. Me behind me excuse me you can see your guess is good when it comes to scale but. Theres definitely thousands of people maybe close to 10000 basically people who have to look to a number of messages. To be played out in public to a lot of people making a point the flag you can see how many better russian flags official by the russian flags just. Essentially. White and white the colors chosen by the opposition they resemble. During the 2nd world war. Because a lot of people in. History those. Will. Take it seriously even those who support your position. Because. They are. An example to. Come here. Just from here. They come from neighboring cities. And you go well belarus says exiled Opposition Leader has given her 1st Media Conference since from 2 nifty renia set to kind of skype use the opportunity to tell Foreign Countries to respect the software and to your fellow earlier she addressed her fellow citizens in a new video message urging them to keep up the pressure on president bush and co with more workplace strikes. As of us talk at absolute strikes are entirely legal and powerful weapon against the regime and they know it thats why they intimidate you leave the fear mongering to the dictatorship remember you are not alone im asking you to keep on striking who will make the coward hear our voices the voices he has stolen from us well with both the e. U. And russia being locked to mediators in the bell russian crisis we asked people in minsk who theyd like to see play that role. As for me i prefer russia because im a bit skeptical about the e. U. I would rather stay with russia but at the same time i want belorussians to be belorussians but then of course despite having russian and bell russian roots i feel closer to the e. U. Here blotters belarus to remain as belarus and to have brotherly relations with all our neighbors really up there saying you know its a president lukashenko claims that the un rest in his country was planned by outsiders pointing the finger at the us journalist and former diplomat alexander blown off say dialogue between the opposition and the government will succeed only if both europe and moscow act as mediators. If. There are revolutions that a machain ging the geo political course and others but a machain Domestic Affairs its obvious that whats happening in belarus is of the 2nd type the Foreign Countries and media have less interest in toppling a tyrant if that doesnt also somehow chip away at russia this is a very long standing tradition not all revolutions are blitzkrieg they can last months sometimes even years sometimes mass turnout in the streets doesnt necessarily mean that the end is nigh but of course its clear that look at shank his legitimacy has been severely undermined the key question is how will the coordinating council acts next if it acts as a governmental body that carves out its own political course on behalf of the better russian people with its own ideology thats one scenario all it may turn into a buffer organization that engages in negotiations with the authorities while russia and europe act as mediators and i want to stress this both russia and europe are necessary if only one side mediates it is likely to fail. If the process is backed by europe alone it will turn into a typical geopolitical tug of war and freedom of choice for the better russian. People will be replaced by a change in Foreign Policy which isnt the same thing. Russian doctors have given the all clear for alexina valmy to travel to germany for emergency treatment the opposition figurehead is in a coma and medics have ruled out poisoning hours the cause of his illness riff and told us more or. The doctor is in charge of treating alex st of ali in russias siberian city of almost now agreed to allow his transportation to a clinic in germany this is something his family has been repeatedly calling for with his wife julie or even appealing to president why demur putting the medics say that the vine is still very weak and hes not stable that they smallman hes not Strong Enough for travelling but they say theyre ready to allow these trust potations at the german doctors and the familys risk. We are not in favor of him being taken anywhere from this hospital but considering the requests of his family we will help organize the transportation earlier the russian doctors after discussing the volleys house with their german colleagues who came to all my earlier on friday said that air transportation could be specifically dangerous for aleksei because this is what caused his condition in the 1st place just to remind you of the violin felt very ill while on the plane on his way back to. He felt ill no one could understand the reason it was very very sudden. And almost immediately after that a video emerged in the internet where we could hear alec saying of violently crying and shouting and in distress and paid. Earlier we also heard from the russian doctor is that tough to testing they say the violations blah the urine samples absolute no traces of any talk 6 substance have been found this is the conclusion they came to. The team of doctors concluded. Since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered and its about disruption with the reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off while alex cena violet is known as a prominent opposition figure here in russia and of course. The situation with his health attracted a lot of International Attention in the if you demo about missed in the valley we of course extremely preoccupied and saddened by the situation of alexina valmy we heard this morning what happened to him and i want to see here that we give him all i will support his family his loved ones for a prompt recovery and we send by their side hopeful intervention or through to us i hope and wish of course that he will recover as quickly as possible we will of course offer him all the medical help he needs and he can turn to german hospitals. Were. Going to be reporting to me despite what the russian doctors say about toxic materials we still here are saying that violence supporters talking about poison and we have to remind you that this is not for the 1st time just last year there was a very similar situation when alex cena violence suddenly felt ill and they were very quick to say that he was poisoned but it turned out later that it was just an allergic reaction. Germany france the u. K. Russia and china have all rejected a u. S. Request to reimpose sanctions on iran the socalled snuffbox functions can be triggered as part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories to the pact give up hope and picks up the story for us. So at this point weve got the United States essentially demanding that the United Nations reimpose its crippling sanctions Economic Warfare against the Islamic Republic of iran this is mike pompei o laying out the demand just a few minutes ago i delivered letters to both the un secretary general to terrorism to the president of the Security Council. Notified them that the United States is initiating the restoration of virtually all u. N. Sanctions on iran lifted under Un Security Council resolution 2231 did i say it will never allow the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terrorism to freely buy and sell planes tanks missiles and other kinds of conventional weapons now essentially the United States is hoping to invoke the snapback mechanism that was part of the j c p o a conclusion of the Iran Nuclear Negotiations the Iran Nuclear Deal now the snapback mechanism was put into the nuclear deal so that if iran did not fulfill the agreement and did not fulfill its obligations broke the agreement that there would be an immediate snap back and all the un sanctions would immediately be reimposed on iran so now the United States is trying to invoke the snapback mechanism however it has virtually no support in the International Community when it comes to this demand weve got all the other cosigners of the deal the United Kingdom germany france china russia all staying that basically the United States doesnt have the right to invoke the snapback mechanism because the United States pulled out of the deal not iran this has been the International Reaction to the United States call and this was my studio and i was aware difficult that reckless acts by the United States could trigger a serious crisis in the Security Council our american colleagues do not seem to care about this we can all countries to resist and i stress once again that the u. S. Plans are in low for. The United States has withdrawn from the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian Nuclear issue and hes not qualified to call for a rapid resumption of sanctions by the Security Council as i have repeatedly recalled the u. S. Unilaterally seize participation in the j. C. B. Away by president ial memorandum on the 8th of may 28th in and has subsequently not participated in any j c p o a related activities he cannot therefore be considered to be a participant state. For the purposes of possible sanctions not by foreseen by the resolution the United States hold out of the Iran Nuclear Deal in may of 28 scene and at this point weve got the trumpet ministration saying that they are open to renegotiating a new deal that would restrict irans activities more harshly now at this point people are reacting to the recent effort by the United States to extend the arms embargo against the Islamic Republic of iran which was roundly defeated by the International Community the u. N. Security council the 15 member body that leads the u. N. The only other country to support the u. S. Move was the Dominican Republic and it seems with the world basically opposing washingtons moves against iran that iran actually has the upper hand this is what weve heard from some iranian officials in was called and on which i think today its clear that the United States is size elated and american unilateralist is not supported by other countries with the reason reason lucian there was put before the Security Council the United States was defeated the slummy group public of iran has the upper hand about in the International Community it seems like almost a consensus that the Iran Nuclear Deal should remain intact however washington has pulled out of the deal and they seem to be almost standing alone at this point in their call to reimpose sanctions and to essentially escalate tensions with the Islamic Republic. Russias deputy envoy to the United Nations said on thursday about the u. S. Declined to hold a Security Council session on the question of sanctions against iran long time Foreign Correspondent reece erlich told me americas actions are more for a home audience. The u. S. Has no legal grounds whatsoever to pursue this its very quite explicit in the terms of the j. C. P. R. Way that only participants in the accord could move to have the snap back weve seen all kinds of seizure iranian oil on the high seas that was on its way to venezuela all perfectly legal but the u. S. Claims the unilateral right to pose its interpretation of sanctions anywhere in the world against anybody it wants. But frankly rather than a sign of strain and this is a sign of weakness because the u. S. Is unable to get support from any other country in the world for these. Actions including britain france germany and staunch u. S. Allies completely reject the about the trumpet news on this issue and its a sign of desperation frankly that theyre hoping something will happen between now and november and turn things around and trump hopes to use these efforts to gain reelection i think frankly its quite the opposite. Its a lucrative time to be a shareholder in up all the tech giant this week became the 1st ever u. S. Company to be worth it to trillion dollars. Puts it on a par with Major Economies its not surpassed in fact the g. D. P. Of brazil canada russia korea its market capitalization has doubled over the past 2 years now and most of that growth happened since the start of the demick experts now i submit that if apple were on a call me it would be classified as the 9th richest in the world economists edward whole Jeffrey Tucker share their thoughts with me earlier on the 2 trillion dollar valuation. Does it seem as if some things are quite right when millions are losing their jobs or close to it ill a tiny number getting insanely rich. That is exactly right and i have to correct language you say because of the pandemic its because of all the lockdowns all across the world and especially the us governments have it been bankrupting small and b. Medium size businesses and forced closures and stay home orders and closing schools closing borders stopping travel its been an outrage and of course who benefits its the Big Companies especially the tech giants and the rich meanwhile in this country the the poor and the middle class are suffering and medium Small Businesses are going under because of the lockdowns not because of the pandemic obviously theres an end plenty of encouragement for Companies Like apple which have received public funding. From their very get go and we really need to see far more diversity at the grassroots of the economy to to channel that kind of innovation and it seems that. Large Companies Like apple once they reach a threshold like this they need a lot of public scrutiny to keep up with that kind of responsibility of being so Large Company a leg that needs to be under public scrutiny and to perform at a higher level and providing innovation rather than at the monopolistic in their aims last month aapl along with Google Facebook amazon were questioned in the u. S. Congress and were told they have quote too much power under a danger to the American Economy have they become too powerful i dont want to blame apple and google and amazon so much as i just think that rules should be applied fairly and evenly to everyone so everyone has a chance to get to get big and wealthy and serve the Community Consumer to excellence i think thats the most important thing and thats thats the essence of what we mean by Free Enterprise its supposed to be equal rules for everyone and that is not the situation today people making the point that facebook for instance have more influence than than most governments but is there anything wrong with that why should governments have a monopoly on power. Thats such a fascinating question as governments become centralized in any fashion there is opportunities for collusion with with businesses that are succeeding at a certain level thats when we start having this stratified rule set the rule of law starts to break down in any country once a company can overtake and work with the politician is supposed to be protecting the public then you can get some you know problematic behavior thats unaccountable and then the rule of law breaks now. A court in germany has sentenced that woman to 21 months in prison on terrorism to Human Trafficking charges the 30 year old guilt of the sin of syria for spying guilty of sending several young women to syria become.

When someone distances themselves from terrorism as she did then you have to give them a chance this chris said to president for the trials for other people who wish to reintegrate themselves in our society that the state gives them this chance.
