People in batteries today are being beaten just for expressing their opinion people in bellary said being thrown in prison for taking part in peaceful protest my husband is in prison in bellerose just for daring to dream about a country for life our common goal is simple we dont want to live with fear in lies anymore we want what everyone in the world is entitle to the right to live the right to be safe in the street the right not to be imprisoned without a fair trial and the right to fair free and Transparent Elections where the leaders of france and germany say they are determined to keep supporting protesters in belarus Emmanuel Khan hosted Angela Merkel at his official summer residence in the south of france on thursday the concept that it is up to the betters ian people to find a solution to the standoff but the e. U. Stands ready to help steadfast and joins us now live in minsk so step what else did to come of sky i have to say today. Well shes holding her 1st press conference in exile in lithuania and she was asked if she is going to run for the presidency again if there would be new Fair Elections but she was very invasive about his questions she said its a bit early days and it is indeed early days because the situation here in minsk and in belarus has significantly significantly changed in the last couple of days its very clear the president is tightening his grip on power hes still very much in control of the Security Forces protests have 1st still been going on but theyre smaller than they were before there is this Opposition Council which also has been installed by the kind of sky and thats why im here at this theater because one of the leaders of this. Council is now in hiding because hes fearing for his life members of the council have also been faced with the charges criminal charges for an appeal to overthrow the government several members of this council have been questions this morning there was fear that it would be detained but they have just gone out of this this investigative for committee but there is also of course a lot of fear that this Police Crackdown that we saw just 2 weeks ago is going to happen again so we have these repeated calls for more protests given the president s threats of those calls to go out on the streets likely to be heeded. There will be more protests its unbelievable how defiant people have been and they are still defiant despite more Police Presence also last night thousands of people came out to the Independence Square again there are most more protests announced for today there will be a big rally in the weekends but it also is a feeling that the momentum has sort of turned and that this whole fight between the government and the opposition and also the fight for new elections might take a lot longer than they were hoping before also the strikes are not expanding as the kind of sky has been hoping for because they also have been detentions of leaders of these strikes and theres also repercussions for people workers who are striking theyre losing their jobs or losing their salary so that has made the situation very difficult for people who have been joining these protests ok thank you for that update there steadfast in live for us in minsk lets get more of this now with finlands minister for Foreign Affairs of these so he joins us on from how sinky thank you for your time what are your concerns about whats happening right now. But of course we have many concerts one is that baez has been used against the peaceful demonstrators and also that there are still Political Prisoners in the country including some key Opposition Leaders of course in these circumstances that we now see that people are continuing to demonstrate but most christians and also the ordinary some columns of the opposition i said of course we are afraid that the more progress on mall beat an ace more by a landslide photo and of course we have been appealing but lets go into the leadership of for better or release Political Prisoners not to use violence against them off their backs i mean if youve spoken with the bellers in foreign minister how hopeful are you that they will actually be a peaceful transition of power given that we have this defiance from the protesters and apparently from the patient. That actually we went last november or to all means create the sweeties the foreign minister living there and have even a meeting with the president lukashenko and of course at peel that this would be korea they were like something based didnt happen now will i have to call tool the way im ok the foreign minister of some of course appealed that violence should not be used and that they knew they were such on this record. That Security Organization of europe though is see to participate us. And also allow their percent of these to come to the country unfortunately this is not yet the case but i think its very important that we continually continuously are in contact with the leaders of popular. An appeal to them to to move on korea. The e. U. Is expressing solidarity with the protest is but there appears to be a limit on how far the bloc is willing to go why is that. But i think its better if this is over in country and its very important that this movement that this is now there its. Not a moment of people who are on this issue should be sold into the country we dont accept of course any outer in the fear itself of the issues and a bit but at the same time european interest really to be who are being committed crimes against the demonstrators or who have been making. The results of the lexus the put them on the sex one centralist they have had earlier sanctions against this kind of individuals and i think its a good idea that the because you know like that this is on the persian now that brings me to my last question just quickly do you expect those sanctions to have any actual impact on the direction that it appears that it is taking. But i think these sanctions are reality or of course call any individual who is saying that is it private or wrong what he or she is doing currently on the messes that somebody somebody is listing illegal Violence Police violence against the demonstrators i think its a very strong message so its important that the people go so pressure against those who are using violence or who have been persecuted good acts are examples ok thank you time pick out this stuff in the minister for Foreign Affairs. Thank you. The wife of russian opposition politician Alexei Novell the says docked is a putting his life at risk by refusing calls to move him from a hospital in siberia hes still in a serious condition in the city of ohms after a suspected poisoning but doctors have told junia only shouldnt be moved because his condition is unstable the valleys team says that keeping him there under pressure from the kremlin. Thank you charles and you know they refused to allow him to be moved or they 2 hours ago the situation was such documents for his transfer were being prepared 2 hours later they refused to handover alexy we think they say the substance disappears from his body he is not in a Good Condition and we do not trust this hospital we demand that hes handed over to us so he can be treated in an independent hospital by doctors we trust and all the head of the valleys Anticorruption Foundation says they heard from police that a deadly substance was found in his body runs out limited use continue to go on the bench or we were in the office of the head doctor and a traffic policeman came in and showed us his phone saying this is a substance we found and the head doctor says well so what if you found it we went up to the Police Officer who showed us a phone and we asked her what kind of substance is that she said that information is confidential to the investigation and we cannot tell you but this substance is deadly the substance is not only endangering alexias life but also people around him the german air ambulance has landed in arms come for an offer from chancellor Angela Merkel to treat him in europe. For intervention or through i hope and wish that he will recover as quickly as possible and if you wish to do so and what applies to friends also applies to germany we will offer him all the medical help he needs and he can turn to german hospitals but of course he has to request. On thursday small scale demonstrations were held in a number of russian cities in support of developing some protest as accused president Vladimir Putin over the suspected poisoning there were reports of several arrests. Well our sound yesterday on the votes called for is a freelance journalist she joins us now from moscow alexandra weve heard quite a bit of contradictory information one doctor at the hospital saying theres no indication of poisoning the valleys team saying yes there has been an indication it was poisoning water without. Well in the recent developments there was some lights to say shed on this and that is just recently the head doctor of the hospital again spoke to the press and he says that the primary diagnosis theyre working with and they have several he says is actually the disorder of the bill ism so this order in the balance of carbohydrates now this is a very wide thing and some of these conditions can be acquired and can affect brain functions but more detail he was not he also said that this alleged poison or substance and that the team of now finally was shown is actually pieces of plastic glass that were found on clothes and a skin off viney doctors exclude poisoning as a possible cause of condition of the opposition rational position of either instead theyre saying that they found the no traces of any poison either in the blood nor in you or in but before death another doctor from the same hospital the head doctor he said that theyre going to keep on running tests searching for the possible soft substances that could cause this now this is. They dont believe it in a family of the violin the amongst his friends and team and that there was no foul play that there was no poisoning they keep on insisting that hes been poisoned and they want to move him out of that hospital they want to bring him to doctors they say they can trust and they say we have a plane ready we are ready to take responsibility for this and doctors are saying no you cannot because that is not enough hes not in a condition to be transported but theyre also said that actually they said they told the diagnosis to the wife and brother of the violin the whiles the press 2nd to know why knees denying that she said they were told only symptoms and that they actually wrote a request to the hospital the protocol of the Doctors Medical council to be released to them as well as the results of the medical research and analysis have been done on the filing. Ok. There are these attempts to move him to germany that doesnt seem to be happening have we had any more from the kremlin well at this point no they said to me that it was a spokesperson of the russian president that they wish him a speedy recovery as they would to any citizen they said that if the family wishes so and dr approve it and the family puts an official request they will help france board him abroad that they have nothing against such a thing or but they say lets wait and see the results of the results of the analysis that were done to be to be saying whether he was poisoned or not poisoned well according to what doctors are saying in the hospital hes not been poisoned but as i say there is this believe in family and there is believe amongst his friends that doctors are not under pressure and theyre saying their their decision is everything good but medical ok thank you so much for that alex on just going on there its called for joining us from moscow.

Has formally triggered the process that it hopes could lead to all International Sanctions being reimposed on iran but washingtons closest allies have already rejected the move kristen salumi reports from the United Nations in new york. U. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o made a special trip to u. N. Headquarters to formally accused iran of violating the 2015 nuclear deal in a letter submitted to the Security Council president he argues iran has been enriching uranium and supplying weapons to proxy militias in the middle east its an attempt to trigger u. N. Procedures that would lead to the automatic reinstatement of sanctions this process will lead to those sanctions coming back into effect 30 days for them today. Our message is very very simple United States will never allow the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terrorism to freely buy and sell planes tanks missiles and other kinds of conventional weapons the u. N. Sanctions will continue the arms embargo the socalled snap back provision was part of the deal negotiated 5 years ago theres just one problem the u. S.

Position is being critical and a security johnson the United States has put its european allies on the Security Council in a very awkward position they didnt speak publicly but issued a statement saying they cannot support the u. S. Is unilateral move because they want to preserve the International Nuclear deal that is as long as the iranians hold up their end of it the one thing that could actually turn a lot of the europeans.

Observers a big joins us now live from tehran the us said as they had their cousins report provocations by iran could turn the europeans back on to the american side in this case what we heard so far from the iranians. Well the rains preempted the United States move in terms of going to the United Nations with the issuing a letter to the United Nations an open letter where foreign minister divides raef called the u. S. Moves unacceptable illegal and said it was a dangerous move in it he reiterated they rein in line which is that the United States is in no position and has no right to trigger that mechanism and reimposed those sanctions because theyre no longer a party to that agreement he called on the International Community to stop the u. S. Moves and to stand up to the United States now divides reverse also return an explanation a reaching out to no ordinary iranians on social media of whats taking place at the United Nations but also irans position in that letter he said that regardless of the outcome that victory is with iran because iran has defended its position with logic and good man and now the reason hes reaching out to ordinary iranians is because this deal has exactly been popular across the board here in iran some people who are opposed to it from the very beginning and many people a great deal of trust and hope in the president
