Voice. Calling just said 9 am monday morning here in moscow my name is kevin owen here it is world news age q with brown you round up for you hope you stick around maybe you should take you through the whole thing for the next 30 minutes or us has seen another day of mass unrest 6 weeks on from the contested election thousands gathered in minsk on sunday then calling on president looking to resign. Position a disadvantage to get off sky are set to visit the European Parliament later today shes meeting with foreign ministries to discuss the situation in belarus after she demanded protesters to be released from detention in the country it comes as personal data of 2000 Police Officers that has been leaked to the public by Senior Correspondent lord gadgety of picks up the story from leeds. As with any d. Add on to my zation operation the goal is fia tara even and the better russian opposition makes no secret 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 poland based and public ganda outlets 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. Apologized for that saying it is impossible to verify every message that they get such as the actual guilt of the Police Quickly whose names and addresses and telephone numbers and even relatives they published next to and other opposition outlets dont bother proving their guilt as was the case with nikita marching co he was falsely accused of being an agent of the state of the 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 state law that he cannot 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 eye. The same people you are supposed to protect and she doesnt seem to mind that these vigilantes are often wrong going off to 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 a targeted but also rescues teachers and even journalists. In the midst of this a dissident as she has been forced to record this media because of harrison and press and instances tell us me and my family as a result of false information on the internet as these help me share say so that lies dont spread conde and done time me and my family. To be. Journalists to one of our road constantine but at the balo for example who has faced a tsunami of Death Threats at the behest of opposition media. Of course it is frightening i dont know whats going through their hats 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 behind the pictures the veil. Threats the Fear Campaign aimed at anyone who disagrees with the 10s of thousands of bell russians dont suffer from sleepless nights doesnt bother them they laugh it off at the cost of the logic behind this is that they are afraid of revealing who they really are that is what would hurt them the most of these like 21st century bullets yes information bullets these blacklists and terra campaigns are doing the opposition any favors losing thousands already in the least only more determined to prevent the 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 leesten costs the unclean and the blessid opposition that it shows the more radical and hateful the oppositions message the fewer turn up to their protests. World leaders a slamming the u. S. Decision to unilaterally reimpose un sanctions on iran lifted as part of a 2050 nuclear deal secretary of state my pompei i was cited concerns than over irans alleged weapons programs in that the un agreement was silly to have an effect on the work that needs to be done they have no option no alternative to what weve done is there wedded to this silly nuclear deal. France germany and the United Kingdom know that the us ceased to be a participant to the chase e. P. O. A following their withdrawal from the deal on the 8th of may 2018 consequently the purported notification is incapable of having legal effect we remain guided by the objective of up holding the authority and integrity of the United Nations Security Council. We are all of us across this whole europe correspondent morning again paid to say this but a lot of negative reaction to this as well. Well the message coming out of washington seems to be there will be sanctions in all not with us or against us and then face the prospect of being sanctioned in turn will these measures that the United States is looking to bring back in involved what they target on iranian your rainy and enrichment and the reintroduction of a conventional weapons embargo on the Islamic State now 5 years ago under barack obama when he was then president these were removed as part of the g c p o a joint comprehensive plan of action more commonly known as the Iran Nuclear Deal in may of 2018 though donald trump unilaterally pulled the u. S. Out of that deal now this is a multifaceted International Agreement it involves a rom as you would imagine also china Russia Germany france the u. K. And the overall blessing of the European Union in brussels now what weve heard from the likes of germany and france is that theyre far from happy with the u. S. Deciding to put the sanctions back in place unilaterally and france and germany are the only ones. The fact is that the u. N. Security council has not taken any action that would lead to a restoration of sanctions against iran everything in washington is doing is just a theater performance aimed at subordinate in the Security Council to maximum pressure paula see entering the organization into 2 of the United States and paid goes without saying to livid. Well the the arabians are saying that this is tantamount to bullying from the United States but because of the power the sway the financial clout that washington has on the International Markets it can get away with this however tirant is also warning that by doing so against the wishes of the u. S. As International Partners it risks cutting itself off. Or my being on the International Community must decide by itself with 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 theyre illegal since theyre powerful but they havent noticed that the same principles will work for them to. Round of washing to on tehrans message to washington is clear return to the Global Community return to your obligations stop the rebellion and then the Global Community will accept you. All talk of embargo sanctions on your rainy and enrichment and weapons sales are very high faluting matters of state but the sanctions do trickle down and have a overall effect on the everyday lives of a rainy and r. T. Spoke to some on the streets of tehran to find out what they think. I think shrimp is in a weak position hes failed in his Foreign Policy and should keep the negotiations is true that the us is left to talks but we shouldnt leave that would just help them improve more sanctions and form a coalition against us. It doesnt matter if the us reinstates the sanctions on us or not we are already under sanctions what difference does it make them. Not only only rumbled on any country or an act of cruelty against the people we have seen the economic damage in iran it affects everything and has been especially bad for young people as a young person i want to say that the think sions are an injustice. Or thats the view from tehran bush more importantly the view from washington is built on both sides firmly on novembers election and by doing this he gets the say look im strong on iran without having to resolve having to resort to military tactics and that could well play better with the voters come november election ok thanks for the update page donald trump are looming large enough story on our next one as well this morning or tell our viewers at home about the debate around the replacement of the Late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg is heating up in the u. S. As donald trump is determined to announce his nomination as early as this week democrats in turn are demanding that no nominees they say are put forward until the president ial election House Speaker nancy pelosi isnt even ruling out impeaching trump to try to stop him from advancing a new candidate. Some of mention the possibility if they try to push through a nominee in a lame duck session that you win this the house could move to impeach were not ruling anything out of protecting our democracy requires us to use every arrow inadequate. Ruth Bader Ginsburg to out of counsel at the age of 87. 00 on friday served as an associate justice for 27 years and was a renowned defender of gender equality and womens rights the death is not only triggered a nationwide reaction with People Holding vigils to pay last respects to the justice but its also shaken the u. S. Political system to is dont call to explain. Riots the coronavirus pandemic fierce political campaigning the us has already seen its share of divisions but theres more on the way the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg has just turned the countrys highest judiciary body into americas latest political battleground what. Does not understand is fight has just begun and thats what were going to do were going to through the series. Was. I. Feel that see this is this year. So whats the big deal while the Supreme Courts always had the last word on disputes between state and federal governments and controversial laws same sex marriage obamacare the trump travel ban all these policies needed the court seal of approval back in 2000 the nations highest justices even determines the president ial election outcome. Fear radically the Supreme Court is supposed to be an unbiased check on the countrys political system but its pretty clear the partisanship of 2 Party Politics almost always influences appointments there can only be 9 judges inevitably each one of them either. Liberal or conservative and critical cases are often decided by that one odd vote at the same time theyre all appointed by the president for life after being okayed by the senate and the process often has its share of Political Drama take the latest case conservative judge Brett Kavanaugh who was given the job by trump and 2018 a woman is the president s u. S. Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh assaulted her an additional anonymous allegation of physical assault against brett having a new Sexual Misconduct allegations President Trump coming to his defense theyre going to be dealing with credibility issues around judge cavanagh this was a candidate that was a bad choice even before the allegations came out there are still really over the Brett Kavanaugh nomination i didnt trump has appointed more federal judges Supreme Court judges then anyone almost in history but this is going to be the most rancorous the most i mean youre going to see her and anger president said last night that he wants to appoint a woman good luck for her good good luck for her her family what theyre going to put her through i can only imagine. But with ginsburg seat open were seeing the exact same situation as when Antonin Scalia died back in 2016 but the sides are reversed eventually trump was able to appoint a conservative to fill scalias position but that was only after a long struggle between former president barack obama and the republican dominated senate now the democrats are preparing for payback 4 and a half years ago republicans invented the principle that the senate shouldnt feel an open seat on the Supreme Court before a new president was sworn in a basic principle of the law is that we apply rules with consistency and not based on whats convenient or advantages and the moment. Mitch mcconnell and his henchmen. Believe that they can when i am through a Supreme Court justice only 45 days from the election voters should pick the president and the president should pick the justice for the senate to consider before ginsbergs death conservatives already had a 54 majority over liberals in the Supreme Court on the one hand trumps got a small window to form a conservative supermajority of 6 to 3 with the senates help on the other the democrats are already trying to stall the appointment until the president ial election no matter which president ial candidate wins be a trump or biden theres no doubt this decision will seriously influence the amount of power they come to office with when you consider that you have lifetime tenure the Supreme Court justices appointed for life the impact that they have is abbotts so loosely in comprehensible on every particular issue that you can imagine because remember the way our system works is we have 3 different we have 3 Different Levels of governance the executive is a president the legislative is congress but did you get cheri in each of them share power but what a Supreme Court judge justice excuse me can do is is inexplicable in comprehensible so yes it truly matters. Start of a new week live from moscow this is Arts International with me kevin know when this is coming up new covert records in europe to tell you about forcing a tough response to this news going up us want to hear but everyone expected lets face it how bad can it get this one of the stories for you after this break. Seem wrong all. Just dont all. Get to shape out disdaining to educate and gain training equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart when shes to look for common ground. Good morning europe is standing ready them to bring in new restrictions a surge in coronavirus cases both france and spain daily records in infections this last week and the top british scientists warning that his countrys at a critical point in the pandemic our europe correspondent sean ado bensky reports. More than half of the departments here in france and 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 positive test cases around 13 and a half 1000 people in 24 hours those with the figures released on saturday now there is a huge range 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 adam 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 divorce 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 not overloaded but we feel that were at a. Point where there has been a huge demand for those coded 900. 00 tests so much so that in each de france 20 new Testing Centers are opening on 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 even gardens and those are restrictions that are similar to other cities such as mar say and. Lets take stock now of whats happening across the channel in a way 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 england 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 lock downs well theyre already fines of up 210000 pounds for people who defied 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 hancock 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 tin pot dick tator 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. Back here on the continent there are also new strictures coming to force in parts of spain in madrid and 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 in 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. Casting controversy the amounts from the new harry potter video games being a long way from fans and those new but since the release of the trailer is probably more a case of sheer who shall not be named and so the who either through the many firms plotting a boycott to over the author j. K. Rowling and her controversial views on trial. Gender issues since 3017 rowlings been in the spotlight for liking a comment referring to trans women is men in dresses shes also been heavily criticized for reviews by the. Plus community ever since anger towards the off a venn bowled over with her latest book in which the main antagonist is transgender. I would just time to do your own story 2 of these hallowed. I dont like. To listen. Doesnt matter how good this game looks and i hate to admit that it does j. K. Rowling is an awful human being you support is an utterly violets woods trans people and those who support them this game looks like it would be right up my alley if it were not for the fact that a hateful bigot is making money off it harry potter and the sori you can buy this game without supporting the worlds most famous transformer. So the creators of the Hogwarts Legacy game now of trying to distance themselves from the author of the Harry Potter Series itself trust in that said j. K. Rowling has nothing to do with the Warner Brothers creation we heard from political commentator and see brian logan who says fans should just enjoy the game for what it is. The void is a few very loud people making a big scene or social media but it wont really affect a large amount of fairy party all over the world is this some people make or some noise it might affect some people they know about it will horrible for the most part their fan base isnt going anywhere harry potters been around for a long time j. K. Rowling has been busy and for a very long there is an entire team of people entire companies you have a lot of people who depend on the game to all will depend on the game being in development they have nothing to do with anything political they may not even agree with which you say in a political maybe maybe they do it doesnt really matter the main use their tracks of where theyre trying to take care of themselves and their families they should be part of this whole political thing some people have an issue with as it relates to j.
