For watching R T International bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. The belorussian Opposition Leader has called for sanctions against top officials in her country over last months disputed election so met with e. U. Foreign ministers in brussels and urged them to end Financial Support for present government. I proceed to you my friends to help us with basic things to recognize mr illegitimate to release by the typical prison house to introduce individual sanctions against all individuals involved in their election process occasions and political craig she after hearing her speech and in brussels condemned the Police Crackdown in belarus after the august 9th election and she held up pictures of injured protesters there are numerous arrests to come off as meeting with european diplomats has been condemned by both the belorussian and russian governments. You. Know we consider such contact if it takes place as more evidence of the European Unions departure from statements that they made in their regard in the absence of geopolitics in the situation with belarus so its a step so i think no one needs any more proof that the policies being implemented to undermine the sovereignty of belarus during that meeting in brussels for repeatedly stress that the protests are peaceful although opposition supporters recently published the personal data of thousands of belorussian Police Officers who they claim took part in the violent crackdown on protesters our Senior Correspondent ron garcia is in minsk with the latest developments as they can confrontations continue to boil over as with any ads on the motivation operation the goal is sheer terror and the better russian opposition. Group of what it is doing join us they say or we will ruin your life. The main goals of this channel are to track down every criminal that has committed a crime against his own nation to collect as much information as possible about that individual and also to create a special database which anyone in free bellerose can use to check whether they potential worker partner or anyone they meet has committed a crime against humanity next to pullen based and public ganda outlet recently dumped the names and personal details of belorussian policeman into the Public Domain police are not without fault suppression of protests arrests and physical violence towards demonstrators unorganised were brutal and the public was outraged but the opposition feeds on that outrage stoking anger with fake news and hysterical nonsense Armed Russian special forces and dragon our fellow citizens by the hair is this normal are you willing to tolerate this nectar apologized for that saying it is impossible to verify every message that they get such as the actual guilt of the policeman whose names and addresses and telephone numbers and even relatives they published next year and other opposition outlets do all the proving their guilt as was the case with nikita marching co he was falsely accused of being an agent of the state after someone saw a photo of him in military uniform it turned out he was a construct and his service had ended last year but they arent acting without support from foreign donations to the blessings of st lotty who not scare a former candidate for president during the election in august to this since fled to lithuania she says anyone in uniform who supports her rival current president you can do is fair game Law Enforcement officers should remember the people of belarus who revealed the identity of those who carry out criminal orders you will have to look you people in the eyes. The same people you are supposed to protect and she doesnt seem to mind that these vigilantes are often wrong going after innocent people she doesnt seem to mind that not just them but also their families become the victims of Cyber Bullying and harassment and abuse and even attacks and it doesnt seem to concern her that it isnt just police or Law Enforcement that are targeted but also rescuers teachers and even journalists. In the midst of this episode i have been forced to record this video because of harassment threats and insults towards me and my family as a result of false information on the internet please help me share this so that lies dont spread further and dont harm me and my family. To be. Journalists to one of our road constantine but if the by law for example who has faced a tsunami of Death Threats at the behest of all position media can just us that of course it is frightening i dont know whats going through their heads someone from the opposition texted me in telegram saying look after yourself or a brick will find your head but at least hes just texting there could be someone else who will actually pick up a brick if they want me to go away then yes i will leave someday but not because of them not because of a text or a phone call another journalist had his car torched off the activists posted the picture of the vehicle on telegram with government insignia lose behind the pictures the veiled threats the Fear Campaign they defy anyone who disagrees with the aim to tens of thousands of better russians dont suffer from sleepless nights doesnt both of them know theyd laugh it off look at the car still the logic behind this is that they are afraid of revealing who they really on that is what would hurt them the most of these like 21st century bullets if yes information bullets these blacklists and terror cab pains all doing in the open. Shouldnt any favors those thousands already in the least only more determined to prevent these vigilantes and bullies from coming to power if they do things like these such horrific things now and laugh about it what will they do when they come to power and ordinary belorussians too they didnt sign up for this they dont want the nation divided into leasts and costs the unclean and the blessid opposition at that shows the more radical and hateful the oppositions message the fewer turn up to their protests. And ill cross live to political analyst Chris Bambery for more on this now do you think that to me the right decision and going to brussels to push for sanctions against her countrys officials well i think she is in a situation where shes d helped she gets because so far the e. U. Has not really acted decisively and despite so going to brussels and appealing for saying sanctions of course the. Lot of cyprus which moves against it but i think it reflects Something Else as well e. U. I think is probably relief and. Sanctions arent being opposed because there are very close economic relationships with Belarus Energy with russia and. Germany and i dont think they want seeders disruptive they may be a merkel governor maybe prince except sanctions on individuals but i think it be very reluctant to go down the road of threatening anything. Regarding economic ties and in particular the Energy Resources are lies on from the pipelines coming from the east now belarus and russia have described the meeting in brussels as interference would you agree with that. Well i think the European Union is a rather strange body and the man hating its Foreign Affairs does at the rel he is very well used in condemning what is going on in belarus demonstrate he is a former Spanish Government minister who completely supports the Spanish State in catalunya when it was physically tried to stop the flow of cats and. Referendum by sending police who attacked and attacked polling stations so what i think is here is that the unity European Union has a very selective way of dealing with human rights and Civil Liberties of piercings so its a load of this combination of what goes on in belarus not so much action but in rhetoric at least here when ignores what goes on in countries where she doesnt really want to follow it with sodium great ball you can e. U. Members like spain so i really think there is a huge dollars and it will proceed involved in all this you know the e. U. Approved sanctions against fellow russian officials back in august although they never took a factor to those objections from cyprus which want them to be tied to turkey sanctions do you think that the e. U. Is likely to agree on any real action against valorous. No i dont and i think this is and reason what i said is that i dont heart of the use e. U. Is germany germany is probably. Compared to put up with it sanctions on individuals but beyond that it would not go in very very reluctantly because those economic ties in particular because of the Energy Resources d and you know that we have to be aware that the e. U. Is known as a democratic concept i mean its run by i dont know its European Commission its been run but in accordance with i know its its Central Bank European parliament is very whats a powers indeed even a right to control the budget of the e. U. So i think when you know and in several discussions what germany says goes a long way indeed and i dont really see that germany where is kinser imposed blanket sanctions on belarus at this moment. We dont have much time left but i want to ask you to an oscar also called on the air to end Financial Support for a look at government would that possibly have a knock on effect on the broader economy. Could do nothing its something that the European Union might be birds a jew but same time again do that is the European Union ones have to economic chaos on its borders no implications that how so im not sure how far that would go and of course it would also mean those shingle regime would do it towards more school and indeed beijing reducing the amount of leverage that so the e. U. My advantage so minute these are considerations that brussels are going to have to eat all of that sort of action even thinking with political analyst Chris Bambery thank you for finding the time to join us on the program today. Europe is standing ready to bring in new restrictions amid a surge in coronavirus cases both france and spain said daily records and infections this weekend with a top british scientist warning that his country is at a critical point in the pandemic or your correspondent charlotte reports. More than half of the departments here in france are now considered to be red zones which means that there is an active circulation of the 19 virus the country also recorded its highest daily record for the number of covert positive test cases around 13 and a half 1000 people in 24 hours those were the figures released on saturday now there is a huge rate of testing going on in france more than a 1000000 tests a week and overall the rate of positivity is around 5. 7 percent whats a really concerning are the number of hospital admissions which are now going up quite rapidly we saw 227. 00 additional admissions on saturday meaning that there are around 3800 people currently in hospital now all of those almost 600 are in intensive care now in parts of the country already intensive care units are at capacity so that is what is worrying officials in those parts of france in paris and even de france region which is the area around paris it is only at about 20 percent capacity but there are warnings that there will be a high tension particularly in the next 2 to 3 weeks for the past 10 days weve seen a significant daily increase in cases the 2nd wave is here and its time to deal with it its not the tidal wave that we experienced march in the intensive care units overall overloaded but we feel that were at a Tipping Point where there has been a huge demand for those covert 900. 00 tests so much so that in either france 20 new Testing Centers are opening or monday and they will give results within 24 hours for priority cases so people have got symptoms of 19 or perhaps have been referred there by a doctor now in other parts of france there are new restrictions coming into force particularly nice where groups of no more than 10. Will be allowed in areas such as parks beaches or in gardens and those are restrictions that are similar to other cities such as marsay and bordeaux lets take stock of whats happening across the English Channel in the u. K. Where the chief medical officer there is warning that the country is at a critical point and is heading in the wrong direction this comes as the u. K. Government is now considering apparently a 2 week lockdown in in glint the u. K. s Health Secretary has said that nothing is being ruled out it will be increasingly stringent on the people who are not following the rules if everybody follows the rules then we can avoid. National lockdowns well theyre already fines of up to 10000 pounds for people who defied kovac 1000 regulations such as the requirement to self isolate if they have symptoms and of course the government is encouraging people to snoop on others including on their neighbors if they breach the rules of no more than 6 now matt not only defended that idea of people snooping on their neighbors but said that he would call the police himself if he saw more than 6 adults conjugating to gether so much so that some people have described him now as being a tinpot dictator now some areas of the u. K. Are of course already on the mini lockdowns parts of the north of england and also parts of wales but despite that protests against the big 19 restrictions continue over the weekend in london more than a 1000 demonstrators headed out to the street to show that they were unhappy with those restrictions there were dozens of arrests am. A hearse carrying. Well back here on the continent there are also news directions coming into force in parts of spain in madrid on the region around the spanish capital some 850000 people now facing Restrictive Movement as the countrys trying to what it says stem the idea of a 2nd wave of kopechne 1000 from monday people will not be able to leave their neighborhoods in those regions for all but essential reasons this comes as the World Health Organization is also concerned about what it describes as a worryingly high rate of transmission of 1000. 00 and saying that the situation here in europe it considered still be very serious on a daily basis now as those transmission rates are going up and up governments across europe are having to make some very difficult decisions. A massive leak of internal banking documents has trickled grillo bought scandal of our show in detail how some of the Worlds LargestFinancial Institutions move more than 2 trillion dollars going to Money Laundering schemes and possible criminal activity after all the details on this were joined in the studio by our correspondents ask a teller tell us more about this unprecedented leak or what financial scandals are nothing new we all remember of course how the banking giants that were considered too big to fail did in fact fail back in 2008 many say crushed by that own greed but it seems over a decade on banks still have not learnt that lesson that has been really quite an astounding of the socalled finance and files and often said is an acronym for the financial. Crimes Enforcement Network and really its just an arm of the u. S. Treasury basically what happens any time anywhere in the world any transaction in u. S. Dollars happens and of mikes looks at it and thinks you know what thats somethings not quite right here it sends a report to finance it so basically its the bank flagging something potentially criminal now this leak reveals that around 2 trillion dollars of potentially criminal money has really been washed through the Global Financial system between 202017 how well the banks despite finding these reports about their suspicions continued to blindly move really enormous sums of cash. And money coming in for example from drug cartels crime rings money traffickers corrupt politicians the taliban even i mean we really are talking about the darkest underbelly of the world series talking about drug cartels terrorists can you give us a couple examples of whats been uncovered well lets take j. P. Morgan for example it allowed 1000000000. 00 into an account despite not knowing whom that account belonged to and then it transpired that the account holder was on the f. B. I. s top 10 most wanted list. Also really stood out over the heart of that 2 trillion was actually moved through its accounts and its not like the banks were completely in the dark for example h. S. B. C. Was warned that it was essentially enabling a ponzi scheme but still it didnt cut anyone off unfortunately this leak has been politicized by some in the media in the u. K. Especially that has been a particular emphasis on those russians involved take for example a former russian politician sanctioned by the u. S. He sent around 8000000. 00 to a compound trip in london some of that money was ultimately actually donated to the conservative party or how the. Millions of dollars through bought please. Into. As for Political Climat
