Adults with some of its closest allies though germany france and the u. K. Have pushed back saying america has no authority to reinstate United Nations sanctions unilaterally and the u. N. Secretary general has refused to follow up on the u. S. Declaration citing legal uncertainty but secretary of state mike pompei o has threatened penalties against any country that continues to trade with iran. Chile all previously terminated u. N. Sanctions if United NationsMember States feel to fulfill their obligations to implementing these sanctions the United States is prepared to use our domestic authorities to impose consequences for those failures and ensure that iran does not read the benefits of u. N. Prohibited activity france germany and the United Kingdom know that the u. S. Ceased to be a participant in the way following their withdrawal from the deal on the 8th of may 2018 consequently the purported notification is incapable of having legal effect we remain guided by the objective of upholding the authority and integrity of the United Nations security council. The original un sanctions covered uranium enrichment as well as the buying and selling of conventional weapons but they were lifted 5 years ago under the nuclear deal however in 2018 the trumpet ministration withdrew from the pact washington says its taking action now because an arms embargo on iran expires in october irans president Hassan Rouhani has denounced the move saying his country will never give in to pressure while the nations Foreign Ministry urged washington to have a rethink. Pyometra devotion to on 10 runs message to washington is clear return to the Global Community returning to your again the rebellion and then the Global Community will accept you. Are and we heard from political analyst. He thinks the us isnt getting dribbling support in its approach to iran. In the partners its going to accept that premise. The us is isolated in the unusual manner and whats going to happen is that the us is going to use force to pressure other countries to accept the go into a petition of Un Resolution 2231 and a few countries are going to accept that the u. S. Has a history of mongering so you always have to be careful but the United StatesForeign Policy so we have. Conflict escalating if we hope that president is not in. The. Scenario if he is behind the polls he should know better not to engage in any military activities against iran advances by the. Russian opposition figure alexina vali continues to recover at a hospital in berlin after coming out of an induced coma but the diplomatic standoff between moscow and berlin over his alleged poisoning has only gotten worse on monday germany said labs in sweden and france had independently verified that a volley was poisoned by a nerve agent from the novacek a group the Global Chemical weapons watchdog is also analyzing the samples russia has requested that information on the case be shared so far to no avail. Their excuses are completely contrived germany says it cant tell us anything in direct to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons but weve been to you several times and they say talk to berlin we are ready to talk to anyone we want not when in the absence of facts we are pressured into giving an account of ourselves on the basis of specific clearly formulated concerns but we are always ready to have a professional conversation. Russian says doctors found no trace of nova charcoal or any other poison while the volley was in their care has repeatedly stressed its willingness to cooperate with germany to establish exactly what happened comments now on the controversy surrounding the case. Alexina volley is recovering whatever it was killing his body is on retreat and the politician seems to be almost out of these woods so concerns over his health make room for concerns over what exactly happened and europe is demanding that russia aids the investigation installations arise which only the russian government can and must answer we continue calling us here to investigate this our demand is that russia urgently explain what happened well russia has already contributed by not letting alexina valmy of die in the 1st crucial hours after the politician fell sick russia contributed by opening its airspace to a team of german doctors letting them visit russia contributed by eventually putting him on a german rescue plane allowing the value to be airlifted to berlin and by offering its medical data to german colleagues so now russia says the ball is in germanys court moscow current aid the investigation if its kept in the dark on emerging evidence to the press with nothing at all all this is taking place against the backdrop of facts that our proposals to berlin to jointly sort out what happened ive been dismissed and a far fetched pretexts thats hurdles are brought into the race because berlin starts playing a game of all take and no give russia can get the results of the expertise made in german labs since it will reveal too much of the german armys capabilities too much but only to russias eyes apparently because berlin had no problem with sharing its data with almost 200 other nations Member States of the or b c w we are very negatively the fact that germany refusing to assist the russian Law Enforcement agencies secretly transferred no boundaries test data to its trusted partners it is clear that this was done with a political purpose. So that france and sweden would automatically confirm unfounded accusations against russia but wait russia is a member state of the o. P. C. W. And that means it finally has all the time in the world to scrupulously study everything the germany could find right or wrong the only thing that it actually means is that russia can hop on the merry go round of rejections because berlin tells moscow it can get everything from the or b c w and the o p c w saying the exact opposite bumping russia right back to berlin russia is in a loop which doesnt really help o. P. C. W. s reputation with moscow as russia had previously accused the un bad watchdog of becoming politicized by your p. C. Dont you like so Many International concessions its always great to be subject to political pressure and thats critically from of course those the fund it largely funded much largely the western powers weve seen with the p. C. To abuse role in investigating alleged Chemical Attacks in syria but its investigations have tended to ascribe blame have been riddled with inconsistences and problems that will not rise in a independent investigation but that there appears to be scope for political interference and pressure to take close we saw a similar situation in respect to the case where. It was very reluctant to share its information with russia in respect of it what do you have to discover in terms of chemical analysis and so on giving no access to evidence keeping waters murky playing every bureaucratic trick in the book this is how the e. U. Is shutting out russias investigators also raising the sanctions guillotine over the country almost like it wants no investigation from russia but an integration admission of guilt. This video was posted some days ago on the volleys Instagram Account it shows his team searching his hotel room in tomsk shortly after he fell sick wearing surgical gloves they collected evidence in plastic bags which according to the post were passed on to German Authorities one of the Water Bottles they submitted was said that to contain traces of no child we spoke to the cocreator of that very nerve agent who claims that if it was used in a volley it would not have made it to the plane. It was found it wouldnt have been able to leave the hotel if it was no majok and he really touched it or drank something 1st of all even in small and not very toxic doses provokes people contraction in such a way of your person would be almost blind so you could barely move so even with only very mild exposure it wouldnt have been able to get on a plane but there are photos of him in the hotel in the plane in the russian hospital and yet we cant see any of the symptoms of poisoning and nova chuck and not words to use for this case. Richard that you would read they definitely would get something they had just simple search gloves and thats it and also imagine a bottle that has traces of the substance on the outside that would be very smart person trying to belittle it was such a dangerous liquid you can split it on the sides creating a dangerous situation for everyone. Is small group of wealthy nations has already bought up all future supplies of covert 1000. 00 vaccines which are currently at the Research Stage this is according to a report by the Oxfam Charity it means that only 13 percent of the worlds population will initially have access to the drugs laws and the head of oxfams inequality policy division says pharmaceutical companies are putting profits 1st. Its extremely dangerous for the world because rich nations when no one owns the discipline of a potential banks and. More importantly theyre doing deals with big corporations which own defending their intellectual property and i prefer meaning that the soup lawing. Banks. Oxfam says there wont be enough vaccine doses to meet Global Demand the 5 leading vaccine candidates are currently undergoing stage 3 Clinical Trials however even if all 5 proved to be a success which according to the charity is extremely unlikely around 2 thirds of the worlds population will still have to wait until 2022 at least on top of potential drug shortages oxfam says quote the vaccine deals lay bare the inequality between prosperous and developing countries to give an example the u. K. Has managed to secure up to 5 doses per person depending of course on how the trials go while for bangladesh and stark contrast the figure is only one dose per 9 people max lawson again says that prolonged availability of the vaccine in some countries will result in many unnecessary deaths. Companies like medan or in the u. S. Are only sending their backseat to very rich countries theyre sending it or bury high prices somewhere between 16. 00 and 35. 00 a dollars and you have to have 2 doses so thats like 70. 00 per person so they are very clear that they theyre doing this to make a profit and they want to make money from this vaccine what were saying is we need a peoples backs and not a profit back saying we need to see. The breaking down of these patent barriers and we need to see open sharing your back same technology to maximise this applause and effective vaccines all over the world as soon as possible the huge economic and human cost of it did learn in the variability of the vaccine if you think of countries like india or south africa of brazil if these countries and north getting access to say from the point to that sink into 2022 then they would have more lockdowns their economies would be huge trouble and many many people would dawei do not need to because the vaccine has been artificially russian and private profits for pharmaceutical corporations. Still to come this hour the israeli Prime Ministers decision to send the country into a 2nd a lockdown has caused widespread anger even on the beach thats for much more after a break this is a weekly arch international. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business im showbusiness ill see 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 faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Aura made in the shallowness. And. Welcome back to the weekly on R T International now the shortage of covert 1000 testing in the u. K. Has led teachers to question the safety of reopening schools pupils and staff are among those struggling to get checked r. T. C. Somalia reports. It wasnt so long ago that seamier british politicians were promising that it was safe for children to finally go back to school i think the crucial thing is that pupils get back to school its much much better for their for their health and Mental Wellbeing their jobs their educational prospects weve made it clear this is compulsory parents do need to be sending their children back to school all scientific advice is that schools are safe its only a few weeks into the new terminal ready those claims are coming unstuck one Teaching Union is warning that education secretary Gavin Williamson may face legal action because they say schools were opened without proper safeguards being put in place teachers a founding the alarm but a chronic lack of Testing Facilities means that i do cation in england make going to a halt the staff and pupils are forced to stay home School Managements have been doing everything they chant but the government has failed to do their side of things testing is impossible to get hold of social distancing isnt possible in full class sizes i mean infection rates are going up so we have an absolutely chaotic situation where understandably and correctly pupils and staff are being sent home and they have potential sitting timbs but nobody knows if its just a cold or coverage and its a completely lost story and of course the danger is that there will be some situations where in fact we did have an infectious child in the sco but nobody knows because we cant get a test to check one way or the other facing the lack of testing more than 200 school and College Leaders said staff and pupils couldnt test locally and were being directed to test centers long distances away and with the government mandating no more than 6 people to meet at a time yet encouraging students to get back into the classroom your thirties the knowledge that the whole situation is in quite some chaos every school has a small supply of home test kits for those. Teaches that conduct says a Testing Center teacher who tested positive had to wait a week for her results i dont deny that it is an enormous challenge with children and teachers unable to get access to tests and essentially being told to get to the back of the queue if they want one union need to say that the government has failed to prepare despite having had months to do so in fear of the country could go back into defacto lockdown once more children are being sent home who cannot get tests and parents are being forced to take 2 weeks off to look after them we will end up with an effective lockdown there is an escalating sense that they would end up with a return to lockdown by default its not just with regard to the testing the schools are finding themselves short they also appear to lack the basic hygiene the citys nearly a 3rd of teachers didnt know if theyd have adequate supplies of soap and water while just 18 percent had had from the tides and every pulse from its left parents to question how they supposed to feel that their children will be safe in school when teachers themselves dont seem all that convinced misuse of keep schools open and clear they have to be so violent and what would be funny since being back is that you know. Im selftaught and its as we. Expect some trace versus think you stance would not remind you given that they have a duty we need to test and they need to be and
