Bricks into full steel but the British Government says it will not back down despite their admitting the bill would reach international. A very little welcome from myself on the whole team had all teams h. Q. And moscow glad you could join us. 2 while fast stop for news the Lithuanian Parliament house passed a bill powers to recognize the opposition need to valorous as the rightful president this comes off to a month of on rest in the country following president lukashenko contested election victory dances in the capital for us. Its still tense here and means we havent seen today the kind of violence the crackdowns that we saw in previous days but what we lacked in developments here we saw internationally with this coming out surprisingly declaring the winner of the election the contested election last month declaring lucas a rival. Who had earlier fled the country the Lithuanian Parliament calls on the International Community to support the demand from Straight 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 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 into legitimizing his power and concluding 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 fertility 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 with a 3rd b. 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 democratic legitimacy the other surprise is of course you can also his own turnabout youve heard what she had said previously because immediately after the election after leaving the country even better person heading to 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 of 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 a spontaneous protest earlier today. A protest turned ugly with police and Security Services turning up trying to trying to break up out break up an answer to an Anti Government protest the protests is in the church in 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. To play squash on less strain a rothfuss police lithuania would not have made its declaration in support of ticket osca without the backing of launch a power. Its a signal that is being shown to look i think go and it shall show that force is major forces Political Forces behind lithuania 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 it states 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. The headline story but then moscow are both jim on take on it says if they allege of poisoning of russian opposition figure out of germany says its all it states on the case to the Global Chemical weapons watchdog all day russia which is a member of the he says nothings been received yet jacqueline who got more details hot air from our correspondent on puerto. 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 the kinds of clinics. Its not the case because germany is having trouble sharing the information with us we have no idea what the 100 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 he was poisoned and demanding that russia investigate while at the same time moscow is asking to see that that alleged evidence and which they actually need to open a criminal investigation if there needs to be one and that just being ignored that will give our viewers a little background how did this all began well it started when the volley was flying from siberia to moscow in mid august 20th 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 in the whole situation really seems a lot more suspicious for moscow since the organizations words doesnt hold much weight with the kremlin if you appreciate w. Is in deep crisis what with the. Activities and 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 is 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 o p c w has said that the kremlin will be willing to work with the organization on this case while the fallout from not seen a petition some job many are calling on the government to pull out of the rule of stream to project over the case now this is of course the gas pipeline connecting russia to job money and its due to be ready by the end yet the head of the job of Parliament Economic affairs an Energy Committee believes that abandoning it now would be a disaster. 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 knows 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 gone unanswered. Around 13000 migrants have been left without shelter after the largest refugee camp in greece burned to the ground a fire swept through moria cowboy on the island of last boss and his day greek Officials Say it was started by the residence solves the facility ad space for around 2000 people but was holding more than 6 times that number and it was recently the focus of local anger after refugees failed to observe a 2 week wait a virus locked down the global migration and displacement need at the red cross says to step in humanitarian crisis. This is been going on too long and this is why during pursue this morning the president who weve been calling on all of that all think orders and including of course.

Lets set stateside because President Trump has pledged to reduce the hour of u. S. Troops stationed in iraq and afghanistan by roughly half a minute trip fish or save the soldiers will stop pulling out with an ex caleb maupin from new york reports. The election is just 2 months away donald trump is now trying to create an image of himself as being a peace loving leader a lot of progress is being made in afghanistan but will be down to 4000 soldiers in a very short period of time likewise iraq will be down to about 2000 soldiers in a very short period of to donald trump seems to be fulfilling one of the Campaign Promises of 2016 amid the lead up to the 2020 vote trump a spelling to take into account the real total cost of these military adventures from the United States according to one study 37000000 people have been displaced since 2001 as a result of the u. S. War on terror and that is a minimum estimate because the cost and most wars there are so many politicians in america now almost all of them have been complicit so we have simply put a weapons based economy and we forget about the moral and injustice that being caused to fit a 1000000 and a half people were killed or the people who are displaced at 37000000 people or the fact that weve completely balkanized and destroyed half of the middle east but in the upcoming u. S. President ial election its not really clear if these numbers will matter and will have an impact on the vote that determines whether or not donald trump stays in the white house them artsy new york. This is. Whats in a brothel its on a collision course a front brax train till the u. K. Admits what breakthrough role its on that story when we come back in a minute. Joining me. Every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see you then. In this president ial election cycle both democrats and republicans claim to be tough on china what does that actually need what does the American Public really know about the china day on this edition of the program the attempt to separate this reality. That. You just have to fly between 2 kinds of low and as fast as you can. The much much of the produce from which to push for the. First and rather. Than. The engine restores impersonal suspense creel of course were all russians in racing is competition in the extreme to have a full use the specified route between the lines when the fastest time just. Freeze normally but you. Really must lose showed the kid theyre really trying. I refuse to be on the side of people who want to take up guns and kill each other i want to stand intellectual sure always and i think its their hold up no to violence no to bloodshed yes to think. Less. War like. Welcome back to the European Union has threatened to take legal action against u. K. If it goes ahead with a new bill that would override the. Treaty now the British Government issued an Immediate Response saying it will not drop the legislation despite your admitting that it doesnt fuck clash with international rules. Would stop the story. 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 the next 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 and violated International Law theyve also broken trust and also risks the future relationship with the e. U. 2 plus 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 of gods great law in a very specific. Power to disappoint your concept. Choirboy school for a certain very tory deformed whos going to say so well Brandon Lewis is accepting a slight misdemeanor d braverman the attorney general she said in response that the difficult and highly exceptional circumstances its important to remember to 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 the you try and climb down on some of that 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 come because i knew that sort of thing has been a. Tension has been created dont have been created and thats not conducive to solid because. We didnt want to deal at any cost we urge britain to work with us constructively and find compromise is the interest of both sides any of them by britain to undermine the agreement would have serious consequences so this mission has led to an absolute torrent of criticism and weighing in as the former Prime Minister to reserve may of course has been a very huge figure in the negotiations she herself says that this bill would undermine the trust between the e. U. And the United Kingdom and thats a position that. The European Commission president has also reiterated she says it does undermine trust between britain and the bloc but burning bridges with the European Union may not be that much of a
