The u. S. Request to reimpose sanctions against tehran is rejected by the remaining members of the regime you clear deal. Very good morning to you watching the weekly here on our. Lets start in belarus where another huge protest against the presidency of Alexander Lukashenko is expected people have been taking to the streets for more than 2 weeks alleging that he rigged the president ial election the countrys been left deeply divided by the votes that we followed it was dominated by opposition protests but on monday supporters of the president began holding counterrally speeches since gained momentum to size can be distinguished by the colors they spoke. My heart is bleeding and i cant believe this is happening in bell. And i love i love the my thanks to his opposition we are strong it is them it is united we are the people weve been living in fear for a week weve been crying all these calls for a change i was buying a batch tables at the grocery i took the cellar i was going to attend a meeting she said you look at shingle rat i believe that the people whose voices that we hear now justify what people decided in the election and they havent been heard now they will have to listen every day whats going on here or with the progovernment gatherings gaining momentum all of the largest rallies took place in god now in the west of the country on saturday to correspondent it is dawn off listen to an emotional speech made by Alexander Lukashenko speak with the president. What you see behind me is a few 1000 people who showed up at a progovernment rally and indeed this meeting is very special compared to others that we have that we have covered in the past couple of days not because its exceptionally large because it isnt but because its the 1st one weve seen Alexander Lukashenko the president of belarus make an appearance and he made a speech for sure and over during these fixed time over time 60 percent of people on the internet who showed bruises 60 percent of the states footage time will pass we will come and show you everything i have received information that there are private enterprises all over the country that are pushing people to strike some have become insolent to the point that if an unfortunate policeman arrives 3 pace. We have telephone conversations they say cross the coupes but why why will you do you climb returns to the streets who you call do not attack policeman these are your own people if they made some mistakes forgive them but the postelection period has been quiet rocky for Alexander Lukashenko for instance a couple of times one factory workers boycotted production and he showed up there to try and calm them down he was essentially had killed and booed off stage so they didnt give him any any any any time they didnt really give him any slack if i may say so well here is a different mood here because here people are supporting him so thats what hes thanked them for and essentially his messages be. It doesnt matter whos in power it doesnt matter the only thing that matters is that belarus should stay independent that it should let other nations meddle i had a chance to ask him a question it wasnt like a Media Briefing or anything will literally caught him as he was leaving the stage yes no i knew this would happen i was afraid of skirmishes during the critic. The period they were preparing for that they were going to work if i came out i was afraid that these people would have suffered that is why we took a break look at that there is a sea of people outside i did not expect to see that here on the western border where bin guly are being pressured to attack russia they see as a springboard and we have to wipe it out. It was really happy to see us journalists from russia as well what the mood like is here like a public celebration with some classic songs and local local heads so this is whats going on here. In the meantime a number of Foreign Countries of challenge because the jitteriness he is president rejecting the Election Results that is drawing up sanctions against belarus officials who are suspected of Election Fraud and violence against protesters already turning hawkins delves into why the former soviet republic has drawn so much international attention. Just a fortnight ago many western viewers may have barely heard of belarus that will change the thousands pall over the streets in protest over the disputed president ial election its the countrys geography which between its big east the neighbor and europe sees the interests of International Players intertwine and clash. Officially the e. U. Is dismissed the elections as neither free nor fair. As persona nongrata and already begun drawing up new sanctions lists citing Human Rights Violations in the wake of Police Violence closer to. Withhold e. U. Why discussions on sanctions against those responsible for Human Rights Violations how these sanctions will be organized and whether they will be further restrictive measures depends on the further actions of the by the russian authorities. Condemnation was perhaps predictable but there is no shared view of what comes next the Baltic States and poland have been the loudest critics of looking while hungary has stopped short of outright that l. C. A. Sion others still have sought a balancing act the e. U. Cant turn a blind eye neither can it risk having it be stabilized neighbors state on their doorstep and confrontations with moscow a longtime ally of minsk are getting tiresome. So its no surprise putin has been busy on the phone holding. Talks with merkel macron and the European Council chief we all see russia as an actor that can help influence or regulate the situation a better routes is russias closest historical ally a vital economic and military partner and a buffer zone against nato over recent years have seen their relationship strained to say the least nevertheless moscow would surely rather put up with look at those over towards the west than risk chaos on its borders the russian side emphasized that any attempt at external interference in the internal affairs of belarus which could lead to a further escalation of the crisis would be an acceptable. For many years but it doesnt exactly been a top priority for the United States in 2006 they slap sanctions on minsk for you guessed it undemocratic elections and in 2008 the countrys expelled each others ambassadors but earlier this year things began to change for the 1st time since 1904 minutes got a visit from the u. S. Secretary of state. Generously offered to meet all of energy needs and extended a helping hand it out of 6 wanted to help the reuss build its own sovereign country this leaves washington with a dilemma should they carry on befriending look who may be interested or put their bets on the opposition and its the uncertainty in minsk one thing is clear washington has its own interest in belarus the possibility of another u. S. Friendly state on russias border could be a game changer and as protests grow in a country suddenly thrown into the International Limelight and with multiple interests at stake all actors involved hold their breath as they play out their next move. The russian opposition figure elects another has been admitted to a burley in hospital for emergency medical treatment he was airlifted on saturday from the siberian city of yvonne hes been in a coma since falling ill during a flight to moscow on thursday aunties peter oliver has the latest. It take a lot of wrangling between doctors in russia and the only family but election of ali is here in berlin at the chateau tate hospital just behind me he flew in on a medical plane that had been chartered by his supporters on saturday he arrived here flanked by a convoy of Police Motorcycles and other vehicles hes receiving treatment and shot to take and will be subject to extensive tests to try and work out exactly what resulted in him ending up in that coma hes been in since the state. Police of issued a statement saying that they are here in more numbers than they would be normally at the hospital because of missed and being traced here we arent expecting really any diagnosis from doctors before monday we do know that. Lex in the valleys wife is here as well be looking to see if theres any statements from the family russian doctors had warmed to the lexan of ali might not have been well enough in order to make the journey here to germany they were reticent to allow him to do so but they relented at the request of the family. We are not in favor of him being taken anywhere from this hospital but considering the requests of his family he will help organize the transportation. It was thursday when Alexei Navalny took well on a flight from siberia to moscow he was seen to be in some extreme distress on the flight on the plane when it had to make an Emergency Landing in the city of paramedics took him off to the hospital claims have been made that hes the victim of a poisoning his team suggesting that poison may have been slipped into his. Doctors however who trusts him in the city of say they carried out a talk screening and that came back negative for any poisons that they were treating and i beg your pardon under the premise of a. Different diagnosis if you will the team of doctors concluded that since we did not find any toxic materials in his blood he had suffered disruption with the reduced glucose levels during the drop in pressure while the plane was taking off this isnt the 1st time that theres been claims that an x. In of on these been the victim of a poisoning last year he was hospitalized from prison with what his team claimed to be a poisoning it later turned out to be an extreme allergic reaction now the kremlin spokes person. Has said that there is no truth to these claims that hes been poisoned they said that they were behind any of the delays in getting him from russia here to germany that down to the concerns raised by the doctors and in fact the russian authorities had rushed through paperwork to allow him to make the trip he also said that he wished alexina valley a speedy recovery the union calling for a full investigation into exactly what happened to alexina valley on thursday on that flight that resulted in him being in a coma since then and ending up here at the shot at a hospital in a lot of answers being looked at in a case thats becoming increasingly politicized. Will soon as the news of. The media rush to speculate on possible kremlin involvement several cases were cited when the russian government was accused of poisoning people. Vonnie is not the 1st to fall victim to poisoning blame for which is often a laid at the door of the kremlin form a small script hall and his daughter yulia suffered a nerve agent attack and russian defector Alexander Litvinenko died of radiation poisoning activist Glen Amir Khan was poisoned twice and survived the tourists for allegedly using radioactive nerve agents to target Double Agents defectors and others who fall afoul of the kremlin course his support us will not be convinced they will believe that this is a poisoning. I am at the warsaw 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 the western news agency is to blame rashi mediately off to 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 which in personally i want to speculate if it could be done that by russian government agents without which inseparable with potence approval is just safe to make accusations against russia because its much more dangerous to really investigate and to see broadly the role of our the exodus both in the story all of us and all in the story of. Germany france the u. K. Russia and china have all rejected the u. S. Request 3 impose sanctions on iran the socalled sanctions can be triggered this part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories to the pact and the more picks up the story. 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 u. N. 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 u. N. 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 snap back 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 different concerns at reckless acts by the United States could trigger a serious crisis in the Security Council our american colleagues do not seem to care about the carnal countries to resist and i stress once again that the u. S. Prices are unlawful that they will use in 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 ceased participation in the j. C. B. Away by president ial memorandum on the 8th of may 28th in and this. Subsequently not participated in any j. C. Pierre way related activities he could not have for 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 c. And at this point weve got the trumpet ministration saying that they are open to read negotiating 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 un 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 calm and on which i think today its clear that the United States is size a limited and american unilateral ism is not supported by other countries with the reason reason lucian there was put before the Security Council the United States was defeated and the slum a group public of iran has the upper hand about it 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 settle those they the u. S. Have declined to hold a Security Council session on the question of sanctions against iran wont on Foreign Correspondent base addict told us his actions are more for domestic audience. The u. S. Has no legal grounds whatsoever to pursue this very quite explicit. In the terms of the j c p a way that only participants in the accord could move to have the snap back weve seen all kinds
