Here in moscow my names kevin owen here with the 30 minute update for you this hour stick around 1st released to freelance stuff working for atis Ruptly Video Agency they were detained on sunday while covering the disputed president ial election there from across roughs across developments. Well we have been talking extensively about journalists who were detained during mass protests and mass rallies in that bill the roost there were at least 50 according to official figures and many of them by working for Russian Media now some have been deported from the country and theyre already in russia they crossed the belarus the border however until this morning freelancers working for a ruptly media agency worse still i mean counted for they were detained on sunday soon at. Their polls opened in belarus and we havent heard of from them for days on wednesday we received a message from one of the stringers who was detained and released a little bit earlier all in all there are 4 up the stringers and 2 of them were released earlier and 2 of them at this thursdays will she said that the cell where she spends a few days was immense for 6 people however there were 37 women there and in the mens block which was also meant for 6 people or 50 men its just said that they had to take turns sleeping and there was no food and only. Water this time it looks like. The freelancers are being released and finally they joins with their loved ones now interior minister Umbrella Group school he claims that. These reporters with proper papers proper identification should not be touched or something if he hands over journalists is my essential position apart from cases weatherston between Law Enforcement and rolled well protests and continued for a 5th day in a row beat the last 4 days weve seen quite a lot of violence with police say using all sorts of crowd control equipment will see what will be happening on thursday the 5th day off the protest and bring you up to date as soon as we get it you know it is real because sort of meantime another report of florists who was also briefly detained in minsk talked to us through his experience. You know speeches still 5 right Police Officers and the route was blocked and if i could go through they said no its not come with us they twisted my hands but a loving to put money in my pocket enough they care a lot about phones so that people dont use it or break them it was really uncomfortable my hands were twisted my head was down and i had to walk like this but shelves were falling off a Police Officer from the back was pulling on them it wasnt painful it was uncomfortable they pushed me into the vehicle and put a plastic 20 k. On my hands it was difficult to breathe suddenly we stopped the door open and they asked my surname and said to go out whats next right Police Officer said just go out and make sure we dont see you again and he smiled i could see it from his eyes above his remarks. Protests against election result and intense policing are currently being held in a number of Eastern European capitals including here in moscow 4 consecutive evenings theres been gatherings outside the Belarusian Embassy campaigning for change most are experts working here in russia some are locals joining in solidarity to the heavy handedness of the Belarusian Police has been widely criticized as has the detention and suspected beating of journalists covering the election and its aftermath. Longstanding president. Has been in charge in 1904 but this years election has been his most challenging donald quarter next that looks at the apparent shift in people support for their leader. In bellerose having the title go or daddy means youve got the most populist position in the entire post soviet sphere and for the recently reelected president Alexander Lukashenko hes held that position for decades. Who shot the russians have to hold on to look even in the most critical situation as a drowning man who catches the straw that you just took my racing to be 90 percent tomorrow it will be with you like we all know it is not for you to decide for. Themselves i envy myself as i am the last and only dictator in europe. Im not going to hold this position for a lifetime as soon as the people refuse my services ill take my bag under my arm and im going lucas shank i was on board the populist train before it was cool before politicians like steve bannon and donald trump probably even knew the meaning of the word one of his most recent populist stunts involved the dismissal of bellerose his agricultural minister after the ministers cows failed to gain lucas shank those approval. Why did you bring me here so why now until 6 years he says to put you in handcuffs if a person does not understand that this is auschwitz and you put him in charge of the Holding People who did not understand you were to. Look at shank as a man of inspections meetings with bureaucrats and reprimands of government officials when the cameras are watching of course this puts a smile on the faces of ordinary people who struggle daily with bureaucratic red tape its also the main reason why they call the kobach up for many but because also a strong man who created an enclave of the soviet union. Within europe its been a popular stance for years but now look at those image is facing some big problems. Sure look at shankar claims he won the election it seems like the Security Forces are on his side and for a while he only faced small pockets of pro western opposition but based on the brutality used by the police to control the situation arrests made of journalists and the death of a protester it seems like the entire countrys view of the government is definitely turning sour. And its possible lucas shank goes recent anti russia statements alienated his main base of support those who want closer cooperation with belarus is eastern neighbor we need to address the Russian Media to say you know if you would feel see you need to go through the situation with dignity you know if you see we have new builds indiscreetly country close to arresting russian journalists didnt help the situation either. For the west hes always been europes last dictator even look at shankar himself said he knew people would dispute the Election Results whatever the case the belorussian president will need to father more support if he wants to remain at the head of the table dont call the reporting the director of the council on International Relations thinks the situation may indeed be reaching a critical moment. But we have at the moment is partially the result of several really big mistakes his government government made over the last years but most particularly the way the government treated the Coronavirus Crisis this situation has us collate to very very dangerous level and reporting just seeing seems to point to that where soon approaching a critical point where its either going to be. Kind of military or state of emergency was wired and that will be the only way for the government to deal with the situation or. New negotiations should be against. Us democratic president ial hopeful joe biden raised a record 26000000. 00 for his Campaign Funds within 24 hours after picking his running mate Campbell Harris that is the 1st black woman to run as Vice President for biden she could be the peoples v. P. But there are also a few doubts over choosing the former california prosecutor given the reputation of Americas Police at the moment more on it from caleb maupin. From rival to running mate joe biden is hoping that i am a letter as Vice President as he prepares to go to battle with donald trump for the white house i decided that comma harris is the best person to help me take this fight to donald trump and mike pence and then lead this nation starting in january 2021 i need someone who understands that we are in a battle for the soul of this nation and that safeway going to get through these crises we need to come together a new night for a better america comment i gets that but unity it seems is not the word on every democrats lips. Biden going with the strategically brilliant move of picking somebody for v. P. Who is displaced by both the right and the left where in the midst of the lifes protest movement in American History the subject of which is excessive policy on the Democratic Party chairs the top cop and the outcome of the joe biden crime bill to save us from trump the contempt for the basis for. A parent a young to take anything for black life if someone could help cook at a table come up usually by letting the powerful in the Silicon Valley and wall street days like steve not change huge with impunity had to 2020 lets not forget that for the past few months the United States has been gripped by a wave of protests against Police Brutality sparked by the killing of george floor a. Battle. So joe biden has selected kamel hair. Ansi is Vice President ial running mate and with her jamaican and indian roots she is the 1st woman of color to be selected by a major us Political Party as a Vice President ial candidate this may sound like a smart move generating enthusiasm among the democrats base among africanamericans however the holes are suggesting otherwise we protest build more schools less jails put money into education our prisons. Theres a fundamental problem with that approach i agree with that conceptually but you have not addressed the reason i have 3 padlocks on my front door. Kamel harris has got a resume full of working with the police locking people up and being unnecessarily gleeful about doing so she even took the move of jailing parents of children who were truant from school as californias attorney general Camila Harris fought against moves to release nonviolent offenders even after the Court Ordered her to do so as san franciscos District Attorney she secured the conviction of over 1900 people 1st moken marijuana these folks got a life long criminal records and often jail time however she then joked about the fact that shes a pot smoker herself have you all smoked i have ok again i had to and i have my name and i didnt have a good. Day with a long time ago. At a time when police are not necessarily the most loved among rank and file democrats a certain catch phrases spreading across social media. Kamel harris has done a lot in recent months to try and clean up her image shes gone to Police Brutality protests to shake hands and take photos shes a published an autobiography that presents herself and her career as a prosecutor as if she was fighting against racism on behalf of the downtrodden but some people just arent buying it i watch a poll numbers go bomb bomb bomb down to almost nothing donald trump has indicated that he is not too worried about Camila Harris as she is not polling very well around the country however many are jubilant about the fact that a woman of color as finally joined a major president ial ticket in the United States. But many of the people expected to vote for Connelly Harris in november and got pretty Big Questions here with archie new york you know kind of early days still but its going to get intense soon it will be covered it you can bet your Bottom Dollar on this is all its international from moscow with me kevin owen here this hour coming up beirut has to treat thousands of injured even though more than half of its hospitals are out of action because of the terrible events that go on this last week we follow a russian medical team sent to help theyve been so well received a correspondence that. Is your media a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation community. Are you going the right way or are you being led. By. What is true what is. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the death. Or inmate in the shallows. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. Again thanks to interest to day dealing with the aftermath of beiruts chemical explosion tragedies saying the Health Service there stretched beyond its limits the World Health Organization says that more than half of the citys medical facilities are completely nonfunctional after Building Sustained heavy damage and indeed many staff were injured themselves beiruts 3 major hospitals right now are out of action the ones that are left are overwhelmed last weeks port blast killed more than 200 people and left thousands injured countries have been rallying to send aid to lebanon with russia of course among them he goes to an office spent some time with one russian medical team who were sent out to deal with some of the most urgently needed surgery now. Were about 7 kilometers outside of the routes in the mountains here is one of lebanese main hospitals and we have come to witness the work of a top Surgical Team of russia they have come here to help lebanon deal with the traumatic fallout from the blast in the port. So russian surgeons with the help of the lebanese colleagues have just finished a ministry and his teacher here and have begun the surgery im being told this woman has a lot of bones in her face broken and they are not in the right places this is the primary thing that doctors here are dealing with right now also she has a severe head trauma. Is leading. The medical team overseeing the surgery they have decades of experience between them specializing in treating the injured from natural disasters and was syria palestine indonesia nepal armenia just some of the places where theyve been saving lives here in lebanon the groups worked alongside local doctors in more than 200 cases but some of the most difficult procedures like the one we saw earlier they have been taking on themselves. Is the most difficult surgeries that our team carried out here with the severe cranial traumas and face skull fractures one patient had their bones completely fractured but the surgery was successful everything was reconstructed and the patient is feeling better. Their work here has been made possible thanks to russias official aid agency Russell Trood and just up by larry says that being deployed to trouble spots can sometimes take up to a couple of weeks this time it only took around 24 hours a remarkable difference and the swiftness thats likely saved lives. During surgery russian medical aid also arrived at the hospital we received this donation from the Russian Humanitarian Mission we thank them a lot for this generosity and we want to say Russian Cultural Center because at that moment. Because you know now. We have a crisis the explosion that. Happened and we need every every help we can get from anyone many injuries like this required complex delicate and lengthy procedures during a break away from the operating table the surgeon tells me everythings going well broken bones are reset stitches are applied the start over healing process for a girl whos seen more than enough trauma in her young life it was done from lebanon. I hope shes going to be ok this next story. Young mans death from a normally survivable condition a shine a light on the deadly decisions in treating palestinian patients in israel. Who was 22 with waited a month for treatment on referral israel initially rejected the request calling his mother a Security Risk but by the time approval was finally given it was too late father talked her through his sons final weeks. Condition was discovered in mid january we noticed his face was turning yellow we hospitalized him and after a few days of tests they found out that he had a plastic anemia after 3 and a half months he got a referral to go to the hospital until hashim air at that time his condition was deteriorating and he needed a blood transfusion every couple of days on sunday at 10 am we were told that the application for the patient and his escort had been rejected by the israeli authorities for security reasons finding an escort wasnt easy because the coronavirus was spreading across. Israel finally my cousin agreed and she was accepted but the time was after 9 pm and the border was closed on sunday a week after the initial application was scheduled we were arranging ambulances both in gaza and in israel we were still doing that until july died at around 1 pm his heart just suddenly stopped any patient can have setbacks at any moment so these delays played a key role in his death joe lhota graduated from university with distinction and had plans to become a teacher at the uns Relief Agency for Palestinian Refugees israeli officials maintain his death was not a result of their decisions. Giles 1st request was approved for july the 16th but this permit was not utilized for reasons unrelated to the israeli side on july the 16th any request was received to coordinate the patients exit for an ambulance after his health deteriorated tutus disposition of coordination by the civilian committee the Organization Made the request was asked to provide the missing details on july the 19th the missing details were received and his exit for treatment was approved immediately the ngo physicians for human rights says access to israeli healthcare from gaza has been limited of late after security coordination was halted in june since then only urgent cases have been process but in june and july out of 195 urgent patients only half of the requests were approved by israel so as families say the feeling of helplessness right now as being the biggest. It was hard not to feel helpless condition was worsening and we couldnt do anything about it we could only give him pain killers he was always happy to see me we used to stay up late in the hospital and have fun and laugh he used to ask me to take him to the beach for a few minutes to cheer him up jaw was a very social person loved by everyone he wanted to build a house and get married and wanted me to get married too and to become his neighbor so i wanted to become a teacher in the un relief and work agency for Palestinian Refugees he even managed to finish his College Education but it wasnt gods will. Sick people who get rejected pose no threat to israel but these measures are taken to torture people this is one of the ways of the siege in gaza these past days since his death where the hardest days of my life i never had a situation this hard in my life i was a helpless father unable to help my dying son even though we had all the papers to do it even when in a very bad condition was still talking about getting married and having a happy life in any other country this would have been a simple transplant. From us some of europes biggest banks have been called out over their green credentials despite publicly backing calls to deal with Climate Change a few are also vigorously at the same time Financing Oil extraction in the amazon which environmentalist say in danger is its fragile ecosystem and indigenous populations were on it from charlotte dubin city. Banking institutions such as the m p 3 bad Credit Suisse and i n g say they are committed to backing action on Climate Change they also say they hold themselves struck out on issues such as social responsibility but now what these european banks are being accused of double standards a new report claims despite their pledges these banks are Major Players in the trade in oil from the amazon rain forest millions of hectares in the amazon sacred headwaters region are now on the imminent threat due to the expansion of fossil fuel production since 2009 private Financial Institutions have provided trade financing for approximately 155 minute barrels of oil from the amazon rain forest in ecuador to refineries in the United States worth about 10000000000. 00 they say expansion of fossil fuel production and more drilling that not only impacts the bio diversity of the rain forest but also indigenous pop. Relations in april an oil spill in ecuador contaminated hundreds of miles of 2 rivers affecting some 35000 people in the local communities are the steelers using u. S. Information administration as well as. The amount of oil in dollars and. Your i mean. This equates to over 115000000. 00 barrels of oil worth about 10000000000. 00 u. S. The report says these banks are skirting a thin line instead of financing projects to develop oil wells and extract fossil fuels they are instead trade financing this means putting up the capital to move the oil gas from where its for do use to refineries rather than the work of actually drilling but one goes hand in hand with the other but foreigners think of as a crude Oil Commodity trades the banks provide their clients with indepth knowledge and expertise of the supply chains and liabilities and a proven track record of supplying the credit needed to get to u. S. Refineries some of the banks named in this report say that trade financing doesnt fall under that standard pledges in regards to sustainability essentially meaning that while they are happy to hold themselves accountable they are not responsible for those they know money to the report refers to our oil and gas policy and mentions requirements that apply to project related transactions with respect to Indigenous People and areas of high conservation value however these policy requirements to not relate to trade finance services while others outright questioned the credibility of the report the lack of explanations of the methodology. And the aggregation of data whose provenance cannot be verified make any analysis. We do not recognize the calculations of aggregate exposure in the report but stand. On watch say the banks are not clipping up to the spirit of their own environmental and social responsibility commitments they are calling on the banks to hold all over latest activities in the amazon saying its time to change course and to play a more responsible role in advancing life over profits these Financial Institutions are morally responsible for what their money is used for terms of facilitating the flow of commodities that are highly impacting on the other person. There are you in a certain sense if you look at it like they might reach you know maybe theyre not you know in the past the special going to enjoy it although theyre still there. There are some places so the end of the day if banks are very simplistic. And just on Indigenous Peoples. Of the streets.
