International from moscow right welcome to this news. First that the parliament has passed a bill. To recognize the Opposition Leader as the rightful president it comes after a month of unrest and following president has contested election victory. Its still tense here and we havent seen today the violence the crack sounds of previous days but. We saw internationally with. Surprisingly declaring the winner of the election the contested election last month declaring lou. Rival as for the law that he had not scale who had earlier fled the country the Lithuanian Parliament calls on the International Community to support the demand from state line a 2nd of ska the leader elected by the belorussian people and from the Coordination Council established at her invitation as the only legitimate representatives of the belorussian people for holding new transparent and democratic president ial and parliamentary elections. We call on the International Community to consider any domestic or Foreign Policy action by the illegitimate leaders barely release Alexander Lukashenko and mice in his power and conclude new agreements with russia which restrict the sovereignty of the belarusian people to be a crime against his people surprising not only because lithuania is the 1st country to recognize. Rivals with lalage you can also as the legitimate president of better us but also because there have been very mixed messages coming out of the European Union with regards to for example sanctions whether that be sanctions against president bush. And his followers whether that be that recognize him as the legitimate president of the us and you know what Foreign Policy approach they would now assume towards belarus we do not recognize him as the legitimate president nor do we recognize Nicolas Maduro from this point of view maduro and lucas shank are in exactly the same situation we do not recognize that they have been legitimately chosen however whether we like it or not they control the government and we have to continue dealing with them despite not recognizing that them across it which is missing the other surprises of course as you can also has turned about youve heard what she had said previously because immediately after the election after leaving the country even better as im heading for the European Union she said that she didnt see a political future for herself that she she didnt see herself running for for another election a 2nd round perhaps but that has changed shes now making very official statements address in the people of. The people of russia the European Union advising them. On what course to take geo political and diplomatic course to take with regards the president with regard to bellaver so she certainly sees a political future for herself now and is apparently determined to stay the course here in bel. The situation nevertheless is still tense as i mentioned every day we have here spontaneous protest earlier today we saw a protest turn ugly with police and Security Services turning up trying to trying to break up out break up an. Analogy government protests the protests is in the church and the they talked and eventually both went their separate ways but they were upset that a progovernment protest that happened behind me nobody asked them to disperse that they went on their merry way so as i say passions are high theres a lot of bad blood between the different sides the different camps the. Camp and the opposition camp and we expect big protests this weekend geo political analyst rana office believes the lithuania would have made its declaration in support of taken off sky without the backing of larger powers. Its a signal that is being shown to look at change go and it shall show that there are forces major forces Political Forces behind because little you know wouldnt take such a measure which is illegitimate according to International Law if there was no support by the European Union or who knows. And i see this as. Not too intelligent step by lithuania its too blunt because it shows clearly that the situation in. Belarus is not only divided one side is also in danger of being taken over by external interests therefore i see it in political terms and not in terms of elections in minsk. Well in a moscow both demanding answers over the alleged poisoning of russian opposition figures alexina belding germany says its handed over all its data on the case to the Global Chemical weapons watchdog although russia which is a member of the i. P. C. Doesnt he says nothings been received yet jacqueline who got more details earlier from correspondent double quarter. Just seems like this political dispute over the alleged poisoning of alec saying of all me is entering its next chapter germanys handing over the evidence it claims to have to the o. P. C. W in the kremlin has already said its not happy about it. It looks like. But its not. Including. Its not the case. Germany is having trouble sharing the information with us we have no idea what 300 over to the w. So this is basically the essence of whats been going on over the last couple weeks berlin saying theyve established than of all me was poisoned and demanding that russia investigate while at the same time moscows asking to see that that alleged evidence and which they actually needed to open a criminal investigation if there needs to be one and that just being ignored dont give our viewers a little background how did this all begin well it started when the volley was flying from siberia to moscow in mid august 28th l seriously ill now the russian doctors who treated him in the siberian city of they said they didnt find any toxins at his in his system but when he was airlifted to germany the doctors there said that they did in indeed find a chemical agent in his blood they say that it was not a chalk specifically a nerve agent that was developed in the u. S. S. R. And now that the o. P. C. W. Is involved the whole situation really seems a lot more suspicious for moscow since the organizations words doesnt hold much weight with the kremlin if your p. C. W. Is in deep crisis what with the. Activities and the extreme politicization and this didnt take place just today is still a long time ago the practice of reaching consensus decisions has been completely forgotten and the organizations handling of the 2018 alleged chemical attack in duma syria was what soured its relationship with moscow on a number of inconsistency as were left on the. Dressed and according to whistleblowers that came from the organization they said that anyone who dissented from within was silenced but nevertheless russias representative to the opi c. W. Has said that the kremlin will be willing to work with the organization on this case on effect of all this senior politicians in germany are calling on the government that pull out of the north stream 2 projects over than of all the case the gas pipeline connecting russia to germany is due to be ready by the end of this year the head of the German ParliamentEconomic Affairs an Energy Committee believes that abandoning it now would be a disaster. For north stream 2 is not putins project it involves a large number of European Companies and is designed to ensure the security if europes gas supply to question this project now is to shoot ourselves in the foot it is certainly not in the interests of germany or europe if there is a decision to end the project companies will be able to sue those who made the decision in this case the German Government and of course it will affect gas prices it must be clearly understood that this is not a game the pressure coming from the us is already enough in my view so we are strongly resisting the american sanctions that have been imposed on companies and individuals involved in the pipeline construction this is against International Law and we dont accept it i can see the many people who might not have fully understood the story thinking now well show them but i think its completely wrong 1st of all we need to establish what really happened because i dont think germany no use i think we should respond appropriately to the russians request for Legal Assistance we obviously received such a request but according to the russians it is so for going on says. The french president being accused of hypocrisy for removing his face mask during a meeting with students despite a law requiring them to be born in public and to make matters worse emanuel mccrum began to cough. The president coughs outside of his moms can stretch his out his hand to take and return a glass of water straight after now in jail no hand washing what can we hope for cant stand the fabric masks which is sparingly distributed to teaches however he only spoke for 5 minutes with his what it teaches have to say who forced to speak with one sometimes for 8 hours per day that the president is laughing at the world what are we expecting that the video to be broadcasted schools will be saying that should not be done. Just as france in the world brace for a 2nd wave of the pandemic masked skeptics are rallying other day events you know reports. Masks are just a look around on the streets of paris everywhere people are following the rules but what if youre one of those people who has questioned the whole idea of wearing a mask all they effective do they prevent the transmission of 19 and what if you were one of those people who doesnt just question this in private but has actually gone to a protest about that attack on germanys democracy protesters from a demo against the countrys coronavirus restrictions try to storm the German Parliament. Well this is how the mainstream media. And she locked down protesters has spent the afternoon terrorizing palais city will be made of people. People who think the coronavirus does not exist hundreds of vaccine activists and conspiracy theorists put their faith in science instead of conspiracy theories if they want to avoid getting covert one team thats being backed up it seems by a study conducted via facebook carried out by those who enjoy his foundation it found that the typical anti mascot here in france is a woman in her fiftys shes educated and supports the yellow vests shed refused to have a Coronavirus Vaccine if it was available and she believes in conspiracy theories probably has been the most politicized. In the may control and i think its because it has a different meaning and between the politicians and the scientific i we learned d a lot of confusion among the general public but when it comes to mosques dig a bit deeper and you find that 3 of the 4 main reasons that respondents gave to objecting to wearing them were not by. Ups and totally unreasonable. They were mosques course breathing difficulties well while of course you can breathe while wearing a mask some people have complained that when its hot out all theyve stepped up the pace wearing a mask isnt the most comfortable or experiences to they are a hive of bacteria well yes there is bacteria all around us and thats why its recommended to wash masks regularly or change them free they are useless in preventing 19 contamination the jury is perhaps still live on this one i say that as there is still no consensus that a governmental level here in europe as to whether 6 or not face masks are an essential to in combat ing the spread of 19 so while in france and germany for example why do usage of face masks has been recommended or made obligatory in the netherlands there was a short trial of mask wearing in busy cities was carried out that seems ended while the dutch study their effect if this sweeping of course went totally against the grain of the countrys top epidemiologist threw his weight behind the new mask policy saying this is very dangerous to believe facemasks would change the game when it comes to. Even the w h which made a u. Turn and is now recommending face masks says this we still dont know how much protective value fabric must have for the wearer thats why when you wear a mask youre protecting others and when others where the master protecting you were still in the midst of the pandemic in the past several months the medical and the scientific advice has been a constant merry go round so is it so unreasonable. But some People Choose to question more i think because of the conflicting statements from politician and from the one in Health Organization as well as from the Scientific Community that he had to do quite a bit of confusion and uncertainty in the general public and that led to some not only distrust but also a bit off flaring up in the journal. And that has i think probably primarily contributed into a more aggressive d to work by glass to be a word of the face covering. Live from moscow this is a t. Still ahead britain and brussels are on a collision course over a trade deal the u. K. Admits put a brake the mole on next story when we come back. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this scary Dramatic Development the only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. One else seemed wrong. Why dont we all just dont call. Me. Yet to seep out just days after. And in detroit equals betrayed. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. Hello again the European Union has threatened to take legal action against the u. K. If it goes ahead with a new bill that would override the brics it divorce treaty the British Government issued Immediate Response saying it wont drop the legislation despite earlier admitting that it clashes with International Law reporting next from westminster his shoddy edward stash. Well its almost as though the e. U. Couldnt quite believe what was happening when it got wind of exactly what the u. K. Is attempting to do so essentially the British Government is trying to reinterpret the special arrangements made for Northern Ireland in the Withdrawal Agreement the e. U. Would essentially say its as if the u. K. Is trying to rip up the Withdrawal Agreement that the u. K. And the e. U. Spent so long trying to rectify and in turn the e. U. Is saying to the u. K. You have a 20 day deadline to completely u. Turn on this they argue its an attempt to override the Withdrawal Agreement the Withdrawal Agreement contains number of mechanisms the legal remedies to jens violations of the legal obligations contained in which the European Union will not be shy in using so for the e. U. Its almost its Worst Nightmare they say the u. K. Has totally broken violated International Law theyve also broken trust and also risks the future relationship with the e. U. Too because they say of course this is an extremely bad violation of the very Withdrawal Agreement as well now its all about the u. K. Deciding as i say to try and reinterpret this special arrangement made for Northern Ireland almost essentially saying that ministers in essence can export declarations of goods from britain to you know of the nile and while that might seem like a nice option on paper even the United Kingdom is admitting it is a violation. In a very specific. Penalty do sukhoi the law concept. Choirboy school for the very short you do for him so whos going to say so well Brandon Lewis is accepting a slight misdemeanor here so well a brave woman the attorney general she said in response that the difficult and highly exceptional circumstances its important to remember remember the fundamental principles of parliamentary sovereignity weve also got a government response as well to the e. U. Saying that parliament would not be acting unconstitutionally and acting in the bill and it is allowed to. Discharge its treaty obligations in good faith they would argue that the internal market bill is in good faith they argue its designed to try to unify the u. K. s 4 nations and therefore that is the crux of why theyre trying to get this bill forward next week all m. P. s will be voting on it they say that it is really designed as i say to try and unite the country so there is the argument there that maybe potentially the u. K. Is trying to apply a lot of pressure on to the European Union so that they climbed down on their position as we know the talks are in a stalemate position so theyre trying to maybe get some wiggle room to see if they you try and climb down on some of their demands having said that its caused a huge huge uproar in many diplomatic circles and sending shock waves politically. The strategy and behavior of the British Government was one of brinkmanship was one of threatening to crush oshie you know if you dont if we dont get to an agreement we might go kamikaze on you that sort of thing trust has been a rule that. Tension has been created dont have been created and thats not conducive to solid because. We didnt want to deal with any cost we urge britain to work with us constructively in foreign compromises the interests of both sides any of them by britain to u
