Vast majority of the worlds population therefore did not. Follow their Morning Money as kevin i would welcome to the weekly from r. T. International a roundup of the big stories of the last 7 days as reported by us to you 1st the russian opposition figure election the valley is on the path to recovery at a hospital in berlin after coming out of an induced coma last week hes since revealed his intention to return to russia as soon as hes fighting fit again meantime the diplomatic row between moscow and berlin over his alleged poisonings only got worse in the week all monday germany said labs in sweden and france it independently verified that the valley was poisoned by a nerve agent from the group the Global Chemical weapons watchdog is also analyzing the samples russias prosecutor generals requested that information on the case be shared but so far to no avail. With their excuses are completely contrived germany says it cant tell us anything in direct says to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons weve been to the o. P. C. W several times and they say talked about when we are ready to talk to anyone but not when in the absence of facts we are pressured into giving an account of ourselves on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns we are always ready to have a professional conversation with russia or incest it stock has found no trace of nava chalk or any other poison one of army was in their care moscow has repeatedly stressed its willingness to cooperate with germany in order to try to establish exactly what happened he goes down off looks at the controversies surrounding the case. Alexina volley is recovering whatever it was killing his body is on retreat and the politician seems to be almost out of these woods so concerns over his health make room for concerns over what exactly happened and europe is demanding that russia aids the investigation installations arise which only the russian government can and must answer we continue calling us here to investigate this our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting alexina die in the 1st crucial hours after the politician fell sick russia contributed by opening its airspace to a team of german doctors letting them visit russia contributed by eventually putting him on a german rescue plane allowing the value to be airlifted to berlin and by offering its medical data to german colleagues so now russia says the ball is in germanys court moscow current aid the investigation if its kept in the dark on emerging evidence should the press with enough when it all all this a 2nd place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sort out what happened ive been dismissed and the far fetched pretexts thats hurdles are brought into the race because berlin starts playing a game of all take and no give russia can get the results of the expertise made in german labs since it will reveal too much of the german armys capabilities too much but only to russias eyes apparently because berlin had no problem with sharing its data with almost 200 other nations Member States of the or b c w we assess very negatively the fact that germany refusing to assist the russian Law Enforcement agencies secretly transferred no boundaries test data to its trusted partners it is clear that this was done with a political purpose. So that france and sweden would automatically confirm unfounded accusations against russia but wait russia is a member state of the o. P. C. W. And that means it finally has all the time in the world to scrupulously study everything the germany could find right wrong the only thing that it actually means is that russia can hop on the merry go round of rejections because berlin tells moscow it can get everything from the or b c w and the o p c w seeing the exact opposite bumping russia right back to berlin russia is in a loop which doesnt really help o. P. C. W. s reputation with moscow as russia had previously accused the un bag watchdog of becoming politicized player p. C. Dont you like so Many International commands ations its always great to be subject to political pressure and thats critically from of course those to fund it largely funded much largely the western powers weve seen with the p. C. To abuse role in investigating alleged Chemical Attacks in syria but its investigations have tended to ascribe blame have been riddled with inconsistences and problems that will not rise in independent investigation but that there appears to be scope for political interference and pressure to take close we saw a similar situation in respect to the scruple case where. It was very reluctant to share its information with russia in respect of it what do you have to discover in terms of chemical analysis and so on giving no access to evidence keeping waters murky playing every bureaucratic trick in the book this is how the e. U. Is shutting out russias investigators also raising the sanctions guillotine over the country almost like it wants a no investigation from russia but in integration admission of guilt. Then in a post these Instagram Account a video showing his team searching his hotel room in toms shortly after news had broken that hed fallen severely ill wearing surgical gloves only they collect evidence in plastic bags which according to the post were passed to the German Authorities one of the Water Bottles they submitted was said to contain traces of chalk but one of the cocreators of that very nerve agent leonid rink who spoke to us claims if that was used in the van he would never of even made it to the plane he was travelling on. Wouldnt have been able to leave the hotel to last if it was normal and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in small or not very toxic doses provokes pupil contraction in such a way a person would be almost blind so could barely move so even with only very mild exposure he wouldnt have been able to get on a plane there are photos of him in the hotel in the plane in the russian hospital and yet we cant see any of the symptoms poisoning and novacek and not worse to use for this case. Richard thats right they definitely would get something they had just simple surgical gloves and thats it and also imagine a bottle that has traces of the substance on the outside it would be a very smart person who would try to fill a bottle with such a dangerous liquid and spill it all down the signs creating a dangerous situation for everyone. To give the protesters of again venting their anger over august disputed election the countrys been rocked by 6 weeks of opposition demonstrations on saturday protest as mostly female gathered in the capital minsk demanding president Lucas Shanker step down Police Arrested some of those rallying on the streets the exact number detained is unclear but Rights Groups claim it was more than 300. 00 meantime opposition candidates for atlanta to connive schuyler is expected to take part in a meeting with e. U. Foreign ministers in brussels on monday the moves being condemned by both by the russian and russian government our Senior Correspondent more gusty of reports next from aides. On saturday and throughout this week there have been far fewer people attending again fewer demonstrations but daintiest protests that weve seen rocking belarus over the past month or so and police perhaps feeling bold by the lack of added dees have. Made themselves c. D. N. Known wont be many arrests dozens upon dozens of protesters activists arrested detained taken to Police Station and Holding Cells but it is sunday that is the big day of protests here in belarus where we can expect to see thousands upon thousands of people gather together rallies and march down the streets of minsk against the government it is the traditional day of protest we will see how the numbers that would you know what sort of numbers turned out for that but while there have been there may have been a low effectivity few a few people coming out of the protest soufan this week there has been an uptick. On the geopolitical fraud on the diplomatic front with the with an escalation in the relations between the European Union and better us. To attend a meeting of the Foreign Ministers of european states which is which is you know said he said he shows how high his stock has risen in the ranks of in the minds of european politicians or indeed depending on who he was how high they have elevated her stud better is this come out here and said that you know the mosque all mosques are off the European Union has shown its true colors that they have meddling that this is an attack on the sovereignty of belarus and the independence of belarus and russia has come out and said that the this meeting represents a u. Turn europes but previously stated goals of staying out of it and respecting the dependence on the will of the better russian people we consider such contact if it takes place as more evidence of the European Unions departure from statements that they made and their regard in the absence of geopolitics in the situation with. With regards to this diplomatic escalation that i mentioned the European Parliament came out and voted on a nonbinding resolution to see more of a recommendation but a very harsh one calling on the heads of states of the European Union that the leaders of the European Union not to recognize president you can shake up as the legitimate leader of belarus whats his official. Who are they calling for sanctions for pressure on bellerose and russia for example has come out and said that this is counterproductive that this flies in the face of what the European Union has called for that called on previously which is deescalation which is dialogue and which is to to leave belarus to decide for itself on what path and what course to proceed and russia said says that if these if these harsh sanctions are put in place that they will be called sequences. Our position in relation to sanction instruments used by the European Union is well known it is illegitimate from the point of view of International Law and is an unacceptable interference internal affairs and the context of the situation and valorous it contradicts the call of restore instability establishing dialogue launching their constitutional process and these intentions of which represented have spoke so much about the rockley and the attempts to rock the boat and brussels should not be surprised that retaliated to remeasure will follow previously the president of the European Council that come out and openly said that the protests the bellows are not about your politics and that the European Union firmly stands behind the better russian people who have the right to decide their own future but since their opinions have apparently changed in the chambers of the European Union and the European Union has taken a much more active role in deciding who leads belarus and making sure that the European Union gets a 3rd say in how things are done here on out also this week Alexander Lukashenko flew to russia to meet his counterpart Vladimir Putin the president s discuss the future of minsk moscow toys putin stress that should handle the crisis through dialogue with its citizens and without any external pressure more schools were announced 1500000000. 00 in loans from minsk. Other news a came out of the way than a small group of wealthy nations has already secured overhaul off of the envisioned future supply of covert 1000. 00 vaccines according to the report by the Oxfam Charity it means only 13 percent of the worlds population will initially of access to the sought after drug laws in the head of oxfams inequality policy division told us its a consequence of pharmaceutical Companies Seeking to maximize profits. Its extremely dangerous for the world because rich nations monopolizing the supply of a potential breakthrough but more importantly theyre doing deals with big pharmaceutical corporations which are defending their intellectual property and their profits meaning the supply of taxes being artificially limited. So oxfam says there wont be enough vaccines to go around to me Global Demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates for which nations across the world of try to seal a deal are currently undergoing the final stages of Clinical Trials however even if all 52. 00 to be success which according to the charitys extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the worlds population will still have to wait until at least 2022 is the worry on top of the potential drug shortages oxfam says the vaccine deals lay bare than the inequality between prosperous and developing countries for example the u. K. Look at this as managed to secure up to 5 doses per person depending of course on how the trials go but contrast that to bangladesh for instance stark contrast the figures only one dose per 9 people might slawson again says that prolonged and availability of the vaccine in some countries is ultimately going to mean many unnecessary deaths. But hes like madonna in the us are only selling their backs into very rich countries theyre selling it at a very high price somewhere between 16. 00 and 35. 00 a dose and you have to have 2 doses so thats like 70. 00 per person so they are berry clear that they theyre doing this to make a profit and they want to make money from this maxine what were saying is we need a peoples backs not a profit backs a real need to see. The breaking down of the patent barriers and we need to see open sharing your banks in technology to maximize the supply of safe and effective vaccines all over the world as soon as possible the huge economic and human cost of the delay in the variability of the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa brazil if these countries are not getting access to safe and effective saying until 2022 then they would have more lockdowns their economies would be huge trouble and many many people would dog i do not need to because the vaccine has been artificially ration and private profits of pharmaceutical corporation. Meantime is nations vie to secure a vaccine israel and to the 2nd National Lockdown on friday its expected to last at least 3 weeks the measure came to force just hours before the start of the jewish new year Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu says its in response to a soaring infection rate. I know. We have witnessed another along with the increase in deaths and the continued increase in the number of critically ill patients as many of the experts have recommended we may have no choice but to tighten the guidelines. Decision is deeply unpopular with an already pandemic weary public the hundreds rallied against the new law on a beach in tel aviv on saturday demonstrators were dancing and chanting slogans accusing the government of mishandling the code 19 crises the restrictions include 10 people limit on indoor gatherings israelis also wont be able to go further than 500 meters from their homes and schools Shopping Centers will be closed further businesses wont be allowed to receive clients these measures are aimed at trying to rein in the daily infection rate was doubled since the start of the month the total number of cases exceeds 180000 counting and with more than a 1000 deaths 2 israelis told us they feel frustrated its very frustrating its killing the economy and many people feel like there is no hope and they dont know what is going on we are basically going crazy we cant work we cant go out we cant do whatever we used to do its probably a good thing because cases are rising that the rule so thats what were going to do but i dont think its going to help i expect that instructions will go down but theyll go right back up as soon as the closer hands honestly it doesnt affect me at all i dont understand why its much of a closure i understand schools some of the stores are closed but where i live 500 meters i go anywhere i want or do anything i want people i still see dont wear a mask so i really dont understand how this is going to help anything like so watch this this week and we are are to international from moscow to more of the stories that made the headlines of the week just gone the sports becoming a new political platform. The question we asked the case of a formula one the stars Police Brutality protest on the podium made lots of headlines well remind you of it woman. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe from. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being that. Direct. What is true whats his face. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or a mate in the shallows. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show well obviously to get us out of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you there. Again formula one is back on handing at Lewis Hamilton a penalty of resigned to Racism Campaign at the end of last weekends tuscan grand prix the british driver took the podium wearing a t. Shirt against Police Brutality it raised questions over making political statements through sport and whether hamiltons latest move broke motor sport rules. Teeshirt said arrest the cops who killed Briana Taylor referencing the 26 year old black medical worker who was shot dead on a no knock warrant in march in the us state of kentucky regarding the case authorities said they returned fire after one officer was shot and wounded but it triggered a wave of public anger with calls for those responsible to face justice no criminal charges a bit of fog against them so far calling out racism has gripped the sports world and its athletes in 2020 but some fans are growing frustrated case in point last week americas Football League the n. F. L. Kicked off its new season several teams took a knee and locked arms during the National Anthem a move in support of the black lives Matter Movement some players even stated their locker rooms until the anthem of finished but some fans were left dismayed n. F. L. Players all over the league and kneeling during the National Anthem we simply arent allowed to enjoy sports anymore without politics being shoved down our throats i trade against my better judgement to watch the n. F. L. Today i saw a kneeling fist in the year police kneel in the middle of the field instead of defending a kickoff and were subjected to the black National Anthem im done. Fire them all unless the wood jobs they find to contribute to society versus throwing the ball around and making millions for it meanwhile not doing a damn thing besides needing to or not a great National Anthem social check spurs cashmore and social activists need just during the week they discussed where the sport remains a political bridge times in the world where the acuteness of injustice the harshness of injustice the only thinness of injustice seach through into sport rightly should do so where those injustices can find no legitimate response from democratic nations people differ around the world in what means good or bad way if we get scared of Carte Blanche to everyone then we are in troubled waters if someone like israel folau comes along and starts expressing homophobic views which are clearly not consistent with that of the rest of the wall of sports i dont want that i want them to remain congo and with the ideals the guiding ideas of governing organizations in sport which to me seem as if theyve all got the heart in the right place that you know this idea that were living in a meritocracy that the world is a meritocracy that the sporting burra anybodys retiree meritocratic. That would be good i dont know what little that i would or i would it i would agree that you could take up position but it is a world where the last moral consensus of the tire ity of humanity is against racism and recognizes racism and it is perfectly just what happens when there is an individual competitor in some sport who doesnt agree with the moral consensus who does hold racist or homophobic or sexist views are you going to let him or her express those views it a free society. To their church reach say what they like you to do express them your and he really that theyre well they will face the moral condemnation of the 1st majority of people a new day to making a career decision to do such a little and so on so you dont see action and so he looks you know we dont youre not snow so this is not the way we think its all going to station lets get away from the hypothetical thing that lets take the case of israel folau who express comma phobic views are you going to say youre comfortable with an individual exercising his freedom of speech to pronounce these kind of use and lets face it the guy hes influential hes got a certain type of or carter thats conferred on him by his participation in sport are you going to say that we just wait for the world to condemn him i think that the his organization was quite right to step in and say we dont want you saying this kind of stuff this focus on the exceptional and the moral equivalence between racism which is a global human consensus and these are the issues you know doesnt doesnt stand up to muster so school will always play a part in politics and politics in school as a broader principle im glad formula one stepped in because at a later stage another driver might Say Something completely different. The time Shows Companies account of the cost of the black protests in the us record claims have been submitted after many of the demonstrations descended into riots and looting and seen so often the bill is already in the billions of dollars. My. My. My certainly the money that that needs to be spent the businesses that have been completely destroyed Small Businesses black american businesses minority businesses and also all businesses of all american citizens together peoples lives have been completely destroyed not only by the shutdowns from coal that which again federal judges are ruling were unconstitutional shutdowns of the economy shutdowns of peoples lives but now inciting violence and protests this is not about george floyd this is not about his his death or what has happened there this has now morphed into something that is far bigger its all coming up on the 2020 alexion only as violence being carried out against Law Enforcement against Police Officers of violence carried out against businesses destruction of property loss of lives which the media in america is completely ignoring. And thats a snapshot of the way some of the big stories of the last 7 days as reported by us set out to international to you there are more scope kevin 0 in thank you for watching this sunday morning and have a great rest of this week. Time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability its very important its accelerate the transition to sustainable transport sustainability. A more equitable and sustainable world.

Companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something this must be done to anyones i mean look. This is the mood in usenet we didnt. Understand that look to what its going in. To what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing Dramatic Development only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
