Russias president has put his support behind the embattled leader of belarus and the 1st face to face meeting since protests in the former soviet state escalated pratima putin says issues should be resolved by the by the russian people themselves without foreign interference so fast and has more from minsk. It was clear from the start of the meeting who is calling the shots i look at shanghai as proven to be a tough negotiator for puttin in the past this time he was taking note of what the russian leader had to say and making his case for moscow support. The main thing and i say it all the time is not to cross the line theres a red line and you are familiar with it you have to draw these lines in chechnya when youre a young president god forbid this happens in bela reuss there are certain red lines nobody has the right to cross. Over. The question get tried hard to convince put in that everything was under control but these images of a around a 100000 protesters on the streets of minsk on sunday tell a different story. And we just put in does not want to see in russia. Where we say what cant have domestic political events happening in relation to the election in belarus you know our position well we want better relations to sort out the situation themselves without any tips or pressure from outside through dialogue they should come to a common decision. That kremlin says on look at us request its withdrawing the Russian Troops deployed at the belorussian border put in had earlier sat at those troops were ready to intervene in balance if the situation got out of control the russian leader reiterated that agreements between the 2 nations about military cooperation will remain in place its unclear what concessions lookers shanker made to secure put in support the belorussian opposition says it regrets britains decision to hold talks with look at sanka who they call it legitimacy leader they also question the legality of any agreement between the 2 since the election result is widely disputed many here are wondering if the embattled leader is ready to set. Profile is this of a relative of his nation just to remain in power he was put in supports look at shankar from now on the question is for how long you can enjoy the kremlins backing if anything be the recent useful protests across the country not only in the capital meant groome in science they will be hoping that over time they compose weight the individuals and groups within the elite that have so far remained loyal to. Their higher loyalty lies with the people you risk turning a population that is well disposed towards russia into one that sees russia as. A leader and their reaching that they know want no longer want to live under despite declaring his support for a look at shank up within is still keeping his options open by endorsing constitutional reforms and borrows the russian leader seems to accept that theres an expiry date even for a leader who has been in power for 26 years stepped past an l. G. Sierra. Alexei navalny has been taken off a ventilator and is now well enough to leave his bed briefly the russian Opposition Leader is being treated at a hospital in berlin after whats thought to have been assassination attempt a German Government is calling on russia to cooperate and investigate after all of our trees there and in other countries found he was poisoned with a soviet nerve agent russia has hit back again with the foreign minister canceling a planned visit to berlin and accusing western nations of using the poisoning as a pretext for sanction us your submissions to me and russian bullet the organ that got through i agree with their political analysts if there was no novelli they would come up with Something Else as a pretext to new sanctions in the valleys case western colleagues have crossed all reasonable borders and gone beyond d. C. Today we are required to plead guilty they say are you distrusting the german specialists. Coming up and i was there in this news hour Asylum Seekers on the greek island of lesbos protest over plans to move them to a new camp and call on the e. U. To take action. And the sewage in the bathroom here the stench is absolutely unbearable we look at the impact of flooding on the people of senegal. And sport wife only one champion Lewis Hamilton could be in trouble with motorsport bosses for wearing this t. Shirt. British politicians are voting on a new law tabled by the government which it admits will break International Law Prime Minister Boris Johnson says the internal market bill will allow businesses to trade without barriers but it provoking strong criticism from the e. U. It will give ministers the power to modify rules already agreed in the Withdrawal Agreement on the movement of goods from Northern Ireland to Great Britain and on state aid thats if the 2 sides dont agree a future trade deal critics say it could undermine the good friday agreement the peace treaty that ended decades of Armed Conflict in Northern Ireland the e. U. Has given the u. K. Until the end of this month to change course or face legal action all the while britain faces a deadline of the end of the year to avoid leaving with no deal at all. They are threatening to carve paris boards paris borders across our own country and to divide our own land and to change the basic facts about economic jogger fee of the United Kingdom and egregiously to ride roughshod over their own commitment under article 4 of the protocol whereby and i quote Northern Ireland is part of the customs territory of the United Kingdom this is because we cannot have a situation where the very bottom degrees of our country could be dictated by a foreign power or International Organization for this we can speak her now to Chris Wilkens hes a former director of strategy and chief speechwriter to x. Prime minister to resign may thanks very much indeed for being with us so if theres been a lot of criticism or less said 5 former Prime Ministers are against it a lot of internal opposition within the promise the same party that the conservatives giving the Prime Minister underestimated the reaction to this or was it all a calculated move. I think there was some calculation behind it and i think you know weve seen that this is a Prime Minister and ministration that really quite value the fight sometimes we saw that at the end of last year when they were trying to get this early withdrawal bill through parliament and there was a moment when they sacked some of their own members of parliament and is that this move theyve always valued the fight and calculate that theyre on the side of the public and on the side the politicians thats part of the reason that are in a sense but in this instance i wonder if these underestimated the extent of the opposition to what theyre trying to do and really there are 2 things at stake for the conservative party here the conservative party firstly is that consistent in Unionist Party really tend but the importance of the union of the United Kingdom above most of the things in this bill in many ways so that starts to threaten some of that and secondly this point by International Law because it parties is made up of the lot of the backbenchers. Are lawyers and legally trained and youre asking them suddenly vote for something that ministers admitted breaks International Law and i just wonder if in this instance theyve underestimated the extent of the opposition to what theyre trying to do and the expectation appears to be still that theyll still manage to get it through is that your your impression too well certainly this vote the c evening i think will go through and theres expected to be a lot of extensions so a lot of consider members of parliament simply not to not to vote tool theres a big vote there next week at the next stage of the bill and thats when i guess it will be really be tested ultimately the government has a majority of 80 after the election last year so its really pretty difficult to see them not getting this bill through but ultimately success is getting the bill through but also seeing what is this extent of the rebellion if theres a really large of a 1000000000 back benches tonight and also next week theyre not protect the stores at trouble for the future of ultimately a majority of 80 if you think they calculate that they can get it through i mean the promise in itself or said this is about leverage with the e. U. Where do you think this leaves the kind of the negotiation at this point with the. Yes its hard to sort of really understand the rationale behind what theyre doing and sensually talks the impasse they need comes when agreement very quickly in order to get it through before the end of the year at the wise the u. K. Leaves with no deal whatsoever so most people calculate that this is an attempt to strong on the e. U. Into bending some of their rules and then go shooting positions because they dont want to sort of see this happen but actually people looking at this week of say it will all its really achieved is its brought the main message the even closer together because they are to me not to be bullied probably the case so i think whichever way you look at it the talks are not in a healthy position but they are going on they havent stopped at this point leave us threatened to take the court if this bill goes through but theyre still sitting down and she isnt able to talk about these things so its not a loss but its not a healthy state by any sense Chris Wilkins thank you very much indeed for talking to us thank you yes intrastate my pump air says he wants to see an end to the blockade of cattle by other gulf states he is cochairing the 3rd us at our Strategic Dialogue with cattery deputy Prime Minister and minister of Foreign Affairs had been a bit of a funny at the summit in washington comes as taliban and afghan ago shared his meat for peace talks in doha with a pair thanking catarrh for its efforts in facilitating the talks she have attendees at the state department in washington d. C. And says the blockades been on the american diplomatic radar for some time. Theyre putting session of the Strategic Dialogue was an opportunity for mike compare the u. S. Secretary of state to repeat something he said many times over several months of the u. G. C. Think is wrong in labeling carter a destabilizing force in the region for carter it was an opportunity to find the u. S. For its mediation efforts. To keep our focus on this work and to close the door to increased iranian meddling its past time to find a solution to the gulf rift trust mr its easier to see this resolved and to reopen cutters air and land borders currently blocked by other gulf states i would like to thank the u. S. For supporting the kuwaiti mediation to the store located on that this is of the respect of for the subcommittee and independence of this. Policy continues to the present peace stability and prosperity elements thats lets. Us for months now weve heard that u. S. Efforts to broker some sort of deal to end the blockade has been imminent and july it was reported that something was going to be signed in at the last minute the u. N. He backed out and saudi arabia to back out as well once again in the last week weve had a flurry of activity donald trump calling the saudi king followed by a state Department Official saying maybe theyll be a deal within 3 weeks he said he soon sort of backed away from that and said well he would thing more flexibility in the gauche ations and from what we understand the state department certainly is focusing on one main issue thats overflight rights and this is the g. C. C. Blockade Qatar Airways have to overfly iran in order to get in and out of qatar this is a problem for the u. S. Because that means millions of dollars now flowing into iran in coffins for the overflight rights this has been the focus off the debate here clearly that the focus of the state department has long been to isolate iran this blockade its getting countries closer together with iran so if there is any movement we believe in were told it will be in this issue this is the focus and another opportunity for president from to try and show himself as a dealmaker and International Peace maker in an electoral year. Human rights watch says all warring parties in yemen are severely obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid when i was ation accuses. The rebels Government Forces and the u. A. E.
