Charity oxfam says that a small group of wealthy nations will hoard over harmful coal potential cope with 19 vaccines with the vast majority of the worlds population tonight says the years to come because of it. By the afternoon im kevin o. And welcome to the weekly for marty international our roundup of the big stories of the last 7 days as reported by us to you 1st the russian opposition figure alexina valmy is on the path to recovery at a hospital in berlin after coming out of an injury coma last week hes since revealed his intention to return here to russia as soon as hes fighting fit again as he put it meantime the diplomatic route between moscow and berlin over his alleged poisonings only got worse in the week or monday germany said lab since. And france said both independently verified that the volley was poisoned by a nerve agent of the group the Global Chemical weapons watchdog is also analyzing the samples russias prosecutor general has demanded therefore 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 sit stocktons found no trace of novacek or any other poison one of our own it was in their care moscows repeatedly stressed his willingness to cooperate with germany in order to establish exactly what happened it 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 year to investigate this our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting alexina valmy 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 to the press with nothing at all all this is taking place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sort out what happened ive been dismissed and a far fetched pretext 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 are 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 or 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 o. P. C. W and the o p c w saying 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 concessions its always great to be subject to political pressure and thats critically from of course those the funded largely funded thats largely the western powers weve seen with the p. C. Do abuse role in investigating alleged Chemical Attacks in syria but its investigations have tended to ascribe blame has 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 no investigation from russia but an immigration. Admission of guilt. Then in a post foreign of on his Instagram Account a video shows his team searching his hotel room shortly after news of broke in that hed fallen severely ill wearing surgical gloves they collect evidence in plastic bags which according to the post was then passed on to the German Authorities one of the Water Bottles they submitted was said to contain traces of lava chalk but one of the cocreators of the very same nerve agent linebrink spoke directly to us and claims if it was used in the valmy in his best estimation would never of even made it to the plane he was travelling on. Wouldnt have been able to leave the hotel last if it was normal and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in smaller 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 a not worse to use for this case. Richard that 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 were trying to fill a bottle with such a dangerous liquid and spill it all down the signs creating a dangerous situation for everyone. To go home protesters have again been venting their anger over august disputed election the countrys been rocked by a 6 weeks of opposition demonstrations now on saturday protest is mostly female gathered in the capital minsk demanding president lukashenko step down its hard to say over 400. 00 arrests were made meantime opposition candidates for atlanta taken off sky is expected to take part in a meeting with the u. Foreign ministers in brussels tomorrow monday the moves being condemned by both the belorussian and russian governments our Senior Correspondent were ghastly of this from minutes. On saturday and throughout this week there have been far fewer people attending again fewer demonstrations the daintiest protests that weve seen rocking belo us over the past month or so and police perhaps feeling emboldened by the lack of add in d. S. Have certainly made themselves seen and known there have been many arrests dozens upon dozens of protesters and activists arrested detained taken to a Police Station and Holding Cells but it is sunday that is the big day of protests here in belarus where we could 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 protests we will see how the numbers of what you have what sort of numbers turned out for that but while there have been there may have been a lull effectivity few a few people coming out for protests soufan this week there has been an uptick on the geopolitical front done the diplomatic front with with an escalation. The relations between the European Union and better us. Have been invited to attend a meeting of the Foreign Ministers of european states which is which is you know certainly certainly shows how high a stock has risen in the ranks of in the minds of european politicians or indeed depending on who you ask how high they have elevated 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 this meeting represents a u. Turn europes previously stated goals of staying out of it and respecting the independence in 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 the leaders of the European Union not to recognize president. As the legitimate leader of belarus once his official term is up moreover they are 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 or for store instability establishing dialogue launching their constitutional process and these intentions of which represented have spoke so much about the rocklahoma attempts to rock the boat and brussels should not be surprised that retaliated to remeasure will follow previously the president of the European Council had come out and openly said that the protests embarrass not about geopolitics and that the European Union firmly stabs behind the better russian people who have the right to decide their own future but since then 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 and how leads bellerose and making sure that the European Union gets a 3rd say in how things are done here on out. Also this week alexander flew here to russia to meet his counterpart that in a putin the presence discussed the future of minsk moscow ties putin stressing that by the rashid handled the crisis through dialogue with its citizens and without any external pressure moscow also announced 1500000000. 00 in loans from its. Something happening today now the u. S. Has unilaterally reimpose sanctions on iran relating to its Nuclear Enrichment activities washingtons allies have been quick to react then casting doubt on whether the move actually has an illegal force as secretary of state might pompei o says a range of penalties have been considered for those who violate the restrictions we need she added the snapback process to restore virtually all previously terminated un sanctions if you when Member States feel to fulfill their obligations to implementing these sanctions the United States is prepared to use or domestic girls who are these consequences for those feelers and ensure that iran does not read the benefits of un prohibited activities there would appear to be uncertainty whether or not the process was indeed initiated and concomitantly whether or not the sanctions terminations continue in effect does not for the secretary general to proceed as if no such uncertainty exists the original sanctions covered you radium enrichment as well as buying and selling of conventional weapons they were lifted out of the 2050 nuclear deal but then in 2018 the trumpet ministration unilaterally withdrew from that washington says its taking action now as an arms embargo on iran expires in october the worry is it could pave the way for to rand to buy conventional weapons from russia and from china. Being on the International Community must decide by itself whether to stand up to the bullying unfortunately due to the u. S. Influence on Financial Markets they could apply pressure with financial sanctions of course those applying the sanctions say we did that even though we know they are illegal since theyre powerful but they havent noticed that the same principles will work for them to. Earlier spoke with a professor of political implication at university of tehran told me the u. S. Is isolated in its approach to iran at the moment. We partners thats going to accept that premise. The u. S. Is isolated in the unusual manner and whats going to happen is that the u. S. Is going to use force to pressure other countries to accept the interpretation of the u. N. Resolution 2231 and few countries are going to accept that the u. S. Has a history of water mongering so you always have to be careful but the United StatesForeign Policy so we have this. Conflict escalating if we hope that president is not so interested in the the. Scenario if you are behind the polls he should know better not to engage in any military activities against iran to advance is put a cold thanks for taking the time and you know we can to check in with this is a recap more of the news of the week coming up but in sport becoming a new political platform we asked the case of formula one starts county Police Brutality protesting the podium caused a lot of controversy and we thank you so much coming up. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing dramatic developments only slowly and going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. Democracy is driven domestically in the International Scene efforts by international can as asians and governments to promote democracy in countries like iraq afghanistan see how difficult it is also mutely it has to be reduced domestically because always International Actors need to be in the country 24 sevenths to make a sustainable show so any country in the world that is the standard democracy has to mystic sometimes of International Help to mystically. News now a small group of wealthy nations has already secured over hoth of the envisioned future supply of covert 19 vaccine according to a report by the Oxfam Charity it means therefore only 13 percent of the worlds population will initially have access to the sought after drug laws and 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 a rich nation monopolizing the supply of a potential banksy but more importantly theyre doing deals with big promise to corporations which are defending their intellectual property and their profits meaning that the supplying all vaccines hes being out efficiently limited. So oxfam says there wont be enough vaccines to go around to meet Global Demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates for which nations across the world of seal the deal are currently undergoing the final stages of Clinical Trials however even if all 5 proved to be a success which according to the chart is extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the worlds population is going to have to wait at least 2022 and on top of the potential drug shortages or further says the vaccine deals lay really bare the inequality between prosperous and developing countries case in point this for example lets focus on the u. K. Over there the u. K. Is managed to secure up to 5 doses per person depending on the course of the trials go while in bangladesh in stark contrast look at those stats the figure is only one dose point 9 people max lorson again says the prolonged and availability of the vaccine in some countries will inevitably lead to many unnecessary deaths Companies Like their own or in the us are only selling their backs into very rich countries theyre selling it at a very high price somewhere between 16 and 35. 00 a dose and you have to have 2 doses like 70. 00 per person so and they are very clear that they are there doing things to make a profit and they want to make money from this vaccine what were saying is we need a peoples backs in not a profit and we need to see. The breaking down of these 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 availability of the v
