Is R T International bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. Exiled Opposition Leader has given her 1st Media Conference since fleeing to lithuania so use the opportunity to tell Foreign Countries to respect the sovereignty of belarus earlier she addressed her fellow citizens in a new video message urging them to keep up the pressure on the go with more strikes almost 2 weeks after the disputed election through the country into political turmoil. As of us thought get up so you can join entirely legal and powerful weapon against the regime and they know it thats why they intimidate you leave the fear mongering to the dictatorship remember you are not alone im asking you to keep on striking who will make the code hear our voices the voices he has stolen from us that you recently expressed its full support for the belorussian Opposition Force concerns over meddling in Domestic Affairs moscow has reminded european colleagues of just what kind of impact their support had the last time they decided to intervene in a political crisis on russias doorstep interest on the reports on bell russian attitudes towards the e. U. From a production to rally. How long has it been since you played spot the difference well you wont have many difficulties matching footage from the 2014 uprising in ukraine to whats happening now in another post soviet republic right next to with belarus. I. Believe. At face value the pitches are identical but beneath the record discrepancies because ukraine didnt exactly set an example of how to in the short term yes be good all it wanted a new president electoral growth taishan a visa waiver for the e. U. But that was where the buck stopped because the newly elected president quickly lost all support the economy collapsed Key Industries sloped National Debt hiked and socalled western partners until this day still arent rushing to accept cave as one of their role so is it really a surprise that here in belarus people dont want a repetition of that thanks to us stay a fine and shouldnt bail out a knock on to the house are there and you can walk down the street in the evening and not be afraid for safety and the safety of your loved ones thinking is that reason we stand for an independent billers only with beef and tranquility well be able to survive this there is no need to describe the country. Small it was then use and can see events unfold in as they didnt see a. Iraq and ukraine ive seen how countries have been destroyed with people fleeing on boats to europe and living in migrant camps i believe who must not choose this path this is really a Color Revolution even antigovernment protesters werent happy to see e. U. Flags among their ranks. Was they see if there was. Anybody who was factory workers across the country briefly boycotted production but that impulse quickly faded out labor has realized they have no friends in the e. U. Only competitors eager to fill market gaps left by belarus factories yes if that gives it some credence about not having friends. You know i view it negatively a couple of people from my team went to the strike stayed there for 10 minutes and came back. They were not interested in what was happening that they didnt like it. And it was the governments fault but dealing with those who support should have shown that they are the majority by taking to the streets it would have been a different picture now if only they had shown up at the antigovernment protests we should have started rolling earlier in support of the current president almost like a question you dont see basically everyone has a negative view of the strikes because this is a Key Enterprise and the wellbeing of the entire city depends on its stable operation therefore such actions of the plan itself are next up to another coup difference with ukraine the people of better seem more against losing russia as their ally and geopolitical friend even discuss just opposition arent rushing headlong into a breakup with moscow. The last politician in belarus will be the one he seeks to build a wall belli rusin russia it is an all interest to have good relations with both russia and the e. U. And russia and the European Union both want by the russians to be the allies see each of them needs to meet the expectations of our people pretty much is the everyone almost everyone who ive spoken to here and elsewhere in belarus theyve said that they were appalled that they were disgusted and that they stood with those tortured by the police but then things changed and protests started to lose momentum and thats when politics kicked in and that was when all these thousands of people took to the streets with a different message with a message of unity i mean down of reporting from belarus. With both the e. U. And russia being looked to as mediators and the crisis we asked people in minsk theyd like to see a play about role. As for me i prefer russia because im a bit skeptical about the e. U. I would rather stay with russia but at the same time i want belorussians to be valid russians again of course despite having russian belorussian roots i feel closer to the e. U. And happen a lot of belarus to remain as bellerose and to have brotherly relations with all our neighbors went up by saying you know. Looks like a claim that the unrest in his country was planted by outsiders pointing the finger at the us journalist and former diplomat alexander says dialogue between the opposition and the incoming government will succeed only if both europe and russia act as mediators if. There are revolutions that a machain ging the geo political course and others but a machain Domestic Affairs its obvious that whats happening in belarus is of the 2nd type the Foreign Countries and media have less interest in toppling a tyrant if that doesnt also somehow chip away at russia this is a very longstanding tradition not all revolutions are blitzkrieg they can last months sometimes even years sometimes mass turnout in the streets doesnt necessarily mean that the end is nigh but of course its clear that look at shank is legitimacy has been severely undermined the key question is how will the coordinating council act next if it acts as a governmental body that carves out its own political course on behalf of the better russian people with its own ideology thats one scenario all it may turn into a buffer organization that engages in negotiations with the authorities while russia and europe act as mediators and i want to stress this both russia and europe are necessary if only one side mediates it is likely to fail. If the process is backed by europe alone it will turn into a typical geopolitical tug of war and freedom of choice for the better russian people will be replaced by a change in Foreign Policy which isnt the same thing. Russian doctors treating i would say not only are rolling out poisoning for now after the opposition figure had tested negative for the presence of toxic substances and all that remains in intensive care and a hospital in the siberian city of homs where he is in a coma after falling ill during a flight to moscow doctors say they will carry out more tests. And she would you be so far no traces of took sues have been found in tamil temples weve taken to do not suspect he was poisoned you. Are to tell the quarter has the latest on the story the medical staff at the almost cost little say theyve completed the preliminary blood and urine tests and they found no trace of a toxic substance or any sort of poison earlier we heard from the head of the hospital he said that in of all nice condition has improved since yesterday but hes still not entirely stable involve the supporters and his family have been calling for the Opposition Leader to be moved to a facility abroad but the staff at the hospital are saying hes way too fragile to be airlifted anywhere we know what his condition improved overnight but it is not completely stable it is too early to talk about and if to give him a brute 1st we have to make sure his condition is completely stable we cannot transfer him in this state even if his family have consented to it now the doctors are still considering a number of possibilities but they say that theyve come to a near certain diagnosis connected to some sort of metabolic old dysfunction but within the next 2 days the public will be informed of the final test results what they what they end up showing so it was on thursday to give our viewers a little bit of background that evolving was heading towards moscow from siberia on a plane when he fell suddenly very very ill the pilot had to make an Emergency Landing in the siberian city of almost after the paramedics had rushed to his aid and he was definitely in serious pain. Now the volley was quickly rushed to an Emergency Care unit near the heart near the airport in hes since been in a coma and on a ventilator we also heard from his press secretary who has been traveling with the volunteer who suggested that he was likely poisoned in his morning tea that day but thanks to this new information from the press conference that seems highly unlikely still it did gain a lot of International Attention in the veneer if you demo bones missed in the valley of course extremely preoccupied and saddened by the situation of alexina malony we heard this morning what happened to him and i want to see here that we give him a will always support his family his loved ones for a problem for calgary and we send by their side hopeful intervention or through to us i hope and wish of course that he will recover as quickly as possible we will of course offer him all the medical help he needs and he can turn to german hospitals. Were lucky that it might appear to be reporting to me now the kremlin Spokes Person Dmitri Peskov already commented on the situation he said the government would be willing to allow him of all need to go and seek treatment abroad despite the fact that the borders are still closed because of the coronavirus pandemic but he also noted that the final decision would come down to the doctors who are currently treating him should the decision is entirely medically its likely that there are some bureaucratic formalities that im not aware of but there are no obstacles in principle it depends on the heads up to who is responsible for the Patients Health lets not forget that just last year another socalled suspected poisoning took place in a volley was hospitalized with a swollen face he said he had never had an allergic reaction before he said that perhaps he was poisoned even his personal doctor said he may have come in contact with some sort of toxic substance but what was it at the end just an allergic reaction so this could indeed also be a similar story to that one as we just heard doctors are still running tasks in a bid to determine the real cause of not all of these illness but some in the western media seem to have their own diagnosis. The most outspoken critic of russian president Vladimir Putin has been rushed to a siberian hospital doesnt seem to really decide asking is the kremlin involved its all true and if so asking that in there is no. One as many towers falling is clearly putting. The governments there saying this would not have been possible without husseins approval. Is a very. Silent sea 6 like. This we always. Are but you are 6 years of. Course his supporters will not be convinced they will believe that this is a poisoning. I am i thought it was a cool could be interested in such a poison and it became a kind of duty its a its a cliche for their western media the western news agency is to blame rashi mediately after something happens basically there are many questions unanswered and the western media is not seeking answers to these questions instead is just so much easier to blame russia personally i want to speculate if it could be done by russian government agents without which inseparable with fortunes approval is just safe to make it has a chance against russia because its much more dangerous to really investigate and to see probably the role of are the exodus both in the story or. In the story of. Germany france the u. K. Russia and china have all rejected a u. S. Request to reimpose sanctions on iran the socalled snapback sanctions can be triggered as part of the nuclear deal but only by signatories are just at the start so at this point weve got the United States essentially demanding that the United Nations reimpose its crippling saying. Actions Economic Warfare against the Islamic Republic of iran this is mike pompei o laying out the demand just a few minutes ago i delivered letters to both the un secretary general to terrorism to the president of the Security Council notified them that the United States is initiating the restoration of virtually all u. N. Sanctions on iran lifted under un Security Council resolution 2231 did i say it will never allow the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terrorism to freely buy and sell planes tanks missiles and other kinds of conventional weapons now essentially the United States is hoping to invoke the snap back mechanism that was part of the j c p o a conclusion of the Iran Nuclear Negotiations the Iran Nuclear Deal now the snapback mechanism was put into the nuclear deal so that if iran did not fulfill the agreement and did not fulfill its obligations broke the agreement that there would be an immediate snap back and all the un sanctions would immediately be reimposed on iran so now the United States is trying to invoke the snapback mechanism however it has virtually no support in the International Community when it comes to this demand that weve got all the other cosigners of the deal the United Kingdom germany france china russia all staying that basically the United States doesnt have the right to invoke the snapback mechanism because the United States pulled out of the deal not iran this has been the International Reaction to the United States call and this was my studio and i was aware different concerns that reckless acts by the United States could trigger a serious crisis from the Security Council our american colleagues do not seem to care about this were connel countries to resist and i stress once again that the u. S. Plans are in low full. The United States has withdrawn from the comprehensive agreement on the Iranian Nuclear issue and hes not qualified to call for a rapid resumption of sanctions by the Security Council as i have ripped. To be recalled the u. S. Unilaterally sees participation in the j. C. B. Away by president ial memorandum on the 8th of may 28th and has subsequently not participated in any j c p away related activities he cannot have for be considered to be a j c p a a participant state for the purposes of possible sanctions not by foreseen by the resolution the United States hold out of the Iran Nuclear Deal in may of 28 seen and at this point weve got the trumpet ministration saying that they are open to renegotiating a new deal that would restrict irans activities more harshly now at this point people are reacting to the recent effort by the United States to extend the arms embargo against the Islamic Republic of iran which was roundly defeated by the International Community the u. N. Security council the 15 member body that leads the un the only other country to support the u. S. Move was the Dominican Republic and it seems with the world basically opposing washingtons moves against iran that iran actually has the upper hand this is what weve heard from some iranian officials in was called and on which i think today its clear that the United States decisively did an american unilateralist is not supported by other countries with the reason reason lucian there was put before the Security Council the United States was defeated the slum a group public of iran has the upper hand in the International Community it seems like almost a consensus that the Iran Nuclear Deal should remain intact however washington has pulled out of the deal and they seem to be almost standing alone at this point in their call to reimpose sanctions and to essentially escalate tensions with the Islamic Republic. Russias deputy envoy to the u. N. Said on thursday that the u. S. Had declined to hold a Security Council session on the question of sanctions against iran or lets raise our like says americas actions are more for a home audience. The u. S. Has no legal grounds whatsoever to pursue this its very quite explicit in the terms of the j c p l a that only participants in the accord could move to have the snap back and weve seen all kinds of the seizure of iranian oil on the high seas that was on its way to venezuela all perfectly legal the u. S. Claims the unilateral right to impose its interpretation of sanctions anywhere in the world against anybody it wants. But frankly rather than a sign of straightening this is a sign of weakness because the u. S. Is unable to get support from any other country in the world for these. Actions including britain france germany and staunch u. S. Allies completely reject the about the trump a news station on this issue and its a sign of desperation frankly that theyre hoping something will happen between now and november and turn things around and trump hopes to use these it efforts to gain reelection i think frankly its quite the opposite. Still take china apple has become the 1st u. S. Company to reach you up to a reunion dollars. After this break. Join me every thursday on the elec simon short and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im show business ill see you then. So weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy on sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development the only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. This is just not. Just one thing it was. Once or some variation of this all these years for sure. Welcome back apple this week became the 1st ever u. S. Company to be worth 2 trillion dollars apples value puts its on par with Major Economies its now surpassed the g. D. P. Of brazil canada russia and south korea its market capitalization has doubled over the past 2 years and most of that growth has happened since the start of the pen demick experts now estimate that if apple were an economy it would be cost find as the 9th richest in the world my colleague you know neal asked economists at work hall and Jeffrey Tucker for their thoughts on apples 2 trillion dollars. Does it seem as if something felt quite right when millions are losing their jobs or close to it on a tiny number getting insanely rich. That is exactly right and i have to correct language you say because of the pandemic its because of the lockdowns all across the world and especially in the us governments have it been bankrupting small and be medium size businesses and forced closures and stay home orders and closing schools closing borders stopping travel its been an outrage and of course who benefits its the Big Companies especially the tech giants and the rich meanwhile in this country the the poor and the middle class are suffering and medium Small Businesses are going under because of the lockdowns not because of the pandemic obviously theres an end plenty of encouragement for Companies Like apple which have received public funding. From their very get go and we really need to see far more diversity at the grassroots of the economy to to channel that kind of innovation and it seems that. Large Companies Like apple once they reach a threshold like this they need a lot of public scrutiny to keep up with that kind of responsibility of being so Large Company a leg that needs to be under public scrutiny and to perform at a higher level and providing innovation rather than the monopolistic in their aims last month aapl along with Google Facebook amazon were questioned in the u. S. Congress and were told they have quote too much power and are a danger to the American Economy have they become too powerful i dont want to blame apple and google and amazon so much as i just think the rules should be applied fairly and evenly to everyone so everyone has a chance to get to get big and wealthy and serve the Community Consumer to excellence i think thats most important thing and theres a thats the essence of what we mean by Free Enterprise its supposed to be equal rules for everyone and that is not the situation today people making the point that Google Facebook for instance have more influence than than most governments but is there anything wrong with that why should governments have a monopoly on power. Thats such a fascinating question as governments become centralized in any fashion there is opportunities for collusion with with businesses that are succeeding at a certain level thats when we start having this stratified rule set the rule of law starts to break down in any country and once company can over to you can and work with the politician is supposed to be protecting the public then you can get some you know problematic behavior thats unaccountable and then the rule of law operates now. Hong kong has joined beijing and denouncing washingtons decision to suspend a series of bilateral treaties and what is the latest spat between the 2 countries it comes just weeks after the u. S. Also began targeting high ranking hong kong officials with sanctions including the citys chief executive the United States unilateral decision reflects its disrespect for bilateralism and multilateralism under the Current Administration and should be condemned by the International Community the Hong Kong Government strongly objects to and deplores the United States action which is widely seen as a move to create troubles in china u.
