Broadcasting from moscow every hour of the day is R T International my names you know neal hello there very warm welcome to the program. Rallies and counter protests are sweeping bellerose for a 13 day in the wake of this months disputed election throughout friday large crowds have been gathering in support of president lukashenko in the countrys west arties eager to turn off is among them. Its really really loud here what is playing behind me right now is the National Anthem of the republic of the us a little bit of context right selling the west in the middle of the country in the city of rest a lot during the time the 2nd full. The great feel to call your guess is as good as mine here when it comes to scale but i would say theres about theres definitely thousands of people maybe close to 10000 basically people who have to look to a number of them and their message is some of them one dont want to but none of them want to listen. To be played out in their public also a lot of people are making a huge point about the flag you can see how many better russian flags official by the russian flags are behind and just around me essentially ive been saying that the white red and white flag the colors chosen by the opposition they resemble. The films by collaborates the spirit of the 2nd full day of a huge problem with the because a lot of people in. History losing. Their lives. To get. Your vote. They take it seriously so even though he makes a decision. That was what was the century the flag the colors of the picture was what. Broke the camels back. I came here because i want to keep belarus the way i dont want to underestimate im the mother i have a small child i want him to grow up you know peaceful and beautiful but nobody forced us to come here everyone has their own opinion and we should not prevent each other from expressing our views. Im from belarus for peaceful im 60 years old and ive been working as a drive on. I have a life and ive traveled to europe but ive not seen the best the country. And i was outraged that your position provokes Security Forces to bomb and i saw it myself im for peace in our country and you just need to Start Talking to each other but youre scum also this is the man they are supposed to do you know you government is not only an example of you. And they have come here. You dont just. Want to the city they dont come from neighboring cities as well this is now the sort of an. Open mike going on around them anyone from the ground can get in the spotlight can be in the center stage and speak their minds well lets move to just outside the capitol the people are standing alongside a highway into the capitol carrying red and white flags used by opponents of lucca shanker now that line starts on its side a Detention Center where demonstrators are arrested during the early days of the unrest are being held it stretches right to the outskirts of the city but elsewhere in the capital theres a very different picture Ortiz Constantine pretty took a ride with the belorussian motorist getting behind the president. Offered up as you can see im now in a car its a convertible this convoy in support of the government has just set off people are driving their cars around the capital waving these official red green belorussian flags to be honest i didnt have an opportunity to count all the cars but i can tell you its a huge line. I couldnt find the organizers of this event i thought it would be great to get an interview but i went up to several people asking if they could tell me which car the organizers were in and they told me that there are not. Somebody just created the chat and more and more people joined it wanting to participate so the guys are telling me thats whats great about this event is that people have done everything themselves they bought the flags of them so. Elves can you see this flag thats actually not a flag pole its a spade handle so as you can see many cars waving red and green flags this is how minsk looks right now another thing thats interesting about this convoy is that opposition was planning a completely opposite event they wanted to block the roads of the city. But as you can see they didnt succeed but i dont think many people would be disappointed about this you can imagine the anger of ordinary people if the roads were completely blocked. Belaruss exiled Opposition Leader has given her 1st Media Conference since fleeing to the through india svetlana. Use the opportunity to tell Foreign Countries to respect the sovereignty of the us earlier she addressed her fellow citizens in a new video message urging them to keep all the pressure on president lukashenko with more workplace strikes of us thought get up so you tried 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 strike who will make the college hear our voices the voices he has stolen from us. Or the spite those calls for industrial action most workers are going about their business as normal over the last few days there have been no protests of dreams and most enterprises are now a fully functioning adults in contrast to earlier scenes. Yet just like the markets us you know i view it negatively a couple of people from my team went to the strike stayed there for 10 minutes and came back. They were not interested in what was happening that they didnt like a schedule on you but i will let you. Go but deals with those who support should have shown that they are the majority by taking to the streets it would have been a different picture now if only they had shown up at the antigovernment protests we should have started rolling earlier in support of the current president almost recognition you dont see basically everyone has a negative view of the strikes because this is a key enter price and the well being of the entire city depends on its stable operation therefore such actions of the plan itself arent except a bill moscow based political scientist. Told us how he thinks that the shank will seek to end the crisis. In such case its battle to im dissipate future demands of the opposition that dissipate crisis and get dry to. Setup some instruments for dialogue maybe like public dialogue roundtable discussion about the future of develop Better Research biology cannot development about social and Political Development and somehow to incorporate. Moderate opposition into political process try to maybe not sharing power but drive to allow them to participate in Decision Making at the local level of regional level that maybe at the National Level so that they can express the ideas and interests of those who are intending to make sure the present well he doesnt want to maybe do our direct negotiations with the council because they are self appointed people so all the legally they do not represent the present population so its not clear who they are representing in this this going in Good Nutrition counts a lot i think that he is a very large container agreed to have dialogue with the labor unions with a local local leaders legacy to me. Local officials local deputies. To another of our headline stories today russian doctors have given the all clear for alexina bell need to travel to germany for emergency treatment the opposition figure head is in a coma medics have ruled out poisoning is the cause of his illness refinish there are reports. The doctor is in charge of treating alex st of ali in russias siberian city of almost now agreed to allow his tourist protege sion 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. That 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 vollies house with their german colleagues who came to all my earlier on friday said that air transportation could be specifically dangerous for aleksey because this is what caused his condition in the 1st place just to remind you of the scene of violent felt very ill while on the plane on his way back to a mosque 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 in pain. Like the earlier we also heard from the russian doctor is that tough to testing say the violins blah the urine samples absolute no traces of any talk 6 substance have been found this is the conclusion they came to the room with the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered immense about disruption with a reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off. Well alex cena vilely 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 bones mist 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 all our support his family his loved ones for a prompt recovery and we send by their side hopeful and 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 looking to and invite you 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 saying the violence suddenly felt ill and there were very quick to say that he was poisoned but it turned out later that it was just an allergic reaction. To the news of the colonies illness broke western media rushed to speculate on possible kremlin involvement several cases where scientists when the russian government was accused of poisoning people political analyst and believes the poisoning reapers do not stand up to scrutiny. Course his supporters will not be convinced they will believe that this is a boys inning. I am at a loss who would be interested in such a poison and it became a kind of duty its a its a cliche for the west on media in the west a news agency is to blame rashi mediately after something happens basically there are many questions on it and the western media is not seeking answers to these questions instead is just so much easier to blame russia putin personally i want to speculate if it could be don that by russian government agents with all of which inseparable with fortunes approval is just safe to make it has a chance against russia because its much more dangerous to really investigate and to see probably the role of are the exodus both in the story or. In the story all. Lebanon is facing a threat of the deadly sturdier this month destroyed green silos storing most of the countries with supplies badly damaged the route port which receives 85 percent of the countrys food imports but locals are doing their best to help those in need. Basically. This initiative. That weve decided to that we have to do something since and the government doesnt care and doesnt do the government job the. Room. That poor packaging slingbox is very serious plenty of donations found people in the country and also from people abroad everything that this consulate. Lost a family oh i. Have never seen worse times never been live to move would never go hungry even during the war we had shelter there was food everywhere we had bread and meat vegetables but now god save us he still even had a. Look at it. It really is a genuine place to put a word because they want to its not because they have a political agenda or someone is paying us to do this work we just do it because we have this little humanity and those. That. Have seen it sure probably skyrocketed since the start of world wide locked on to we look into the ramifications of financial and social power after the break. Well it was. A residential explosion killed at least one person and injured 4 others in the russian city of. Located around 250 kilometers to the northeast. The blast occurred on friday evening it caused 3 floors to collapse in one section of the apartment block the strong several homes residents had from the building search and rescue teams with sniffer dogs are out the scene looking for people who may be trapped on. A criminal probe has been launched into potential violations of safety. Its a lucrative time to be a shareholder in uppal the tech giant this week became the 1st ever u. S. Company to be worth 2 trillion dollars apples value puts it on a par with Major Economies its not surpass the g. D. P. Of brazil caliber russia and south korea its market capitalization has doubled over the past 2 years and most of the growth has happened since the start of the pandemic experts know estimate that if our poll were an economy it would be classified as the 9th richest in the world economists edward hole and jeffrey took her share their views on the 2 trillion dollar valuation with me earlier does it seem as if somethings not quite right when millions are losing their jobs or close to it and 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 the lockdown its all across the world and especially the us governments have its been bankrupt in small and be 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 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 the 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 it. 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 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 oh i just think the 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 the consumer to excellence i think thats the most important thing and theres a 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 and once company can overtake him 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 a woman to 21 months in prison on terrorism charges they 30 year old jewel a citizen of syria and germany was found guilty of sending several young women to syria to become brides of islam like state fighters the prosecutor was asking for 3 and a half years in prison for the court counted time they defended had spent in the turkish Deportation Center i know that they allege short time she had been a member of the parenterally more less than one year additionally the sentence took into account the defendants for Young Children. When someone distances themselves from terrorism as she did then you have to give them a chance this could set a precedent for other trials for other people who wish to reintegrate themselves in our society that the state gives them this chance. Were not convinced by how display a radical change in how ideology we believe this is tactically thats why were skeptical. Journalist adel darwish told the program earlier that case is a former Islamic State member successfully reintegrating into society or are. Theres a big problem because the. Defense says it and the defense is paid for by taxpayers money the only way that is not enough evidence or as the defense. Pleading germany is that the. More was convinced that i havent actually come across many of them who have to integrate into society in fact on the commissary even the ones who work at the start. Because that kind of ideology as inseparable from the nazi ideology is just a way of life for them you were talking about leniency there and it was also said that
