be the hero the world needs right now. washington. an act of defiance anger in belarus over the detention of thousands of people after a controversial presidential election. well again i'm a very unforgiving this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up homes and schools damaged beyond repair one week on from the beirut blast cleanup efforts reveal the extent of the devastation. growing concern over russia's corona virus vaccine germany says it must be tested properly before being made public.

and we report on the rise in child labor in syria as the war forces kids to of money for their families. hundreds of women by the roofs have marched through the capital minsk to protest against police brutality anti-government protests show no sign of easing around 6000 people are being detained state media is reporting several protest organizers are among them they were arrested during clashes with security forces over the past 3 nights the violence erupted when president alexander lukashenko was declared the winner in a vote that his opponents say was raked al-jazeera steadfast and is in minsk. what we saw in the last couple of nights when the people came out at night protesting not knowing really what to do so there were different parts of the city now this is

one group of women as you can see they're all waving flowers they are also saying stop beating us and they get an enormous response from people around this area who see them their. horns as a sign of opposition and also they always think people are crying people are really emotional to see this act of defiance because these women are very brave if we consider what violence has been happening in the last couple of nights around 6000 people have been detained already of course they are now also risking arrest but so far police has left them alone i think the government is completely confused what to do with this out poor of anger and this opposition force has reached unprecedented heights he has never seen such a thing during his 26 years rule and the only answer he has found so far is to crack down on the ferry badly and he's been hitting

a whole families women children men everyone has been hit by this so this has created even more anger and we see this women may not want to accept this so you will need to find another solution there have been talks about negotiations with the opposition but the last comment we got from brussels was that he wants to create jobs because he says all these protests protesters are criminals and they simply have nothing else to do. in lebanon. efforts are continuing tens of thousands of homes have been damaged schools support destroyed by last week's blast the scale of the devastation is heaping pressure on the country's leaders talk strong the way to try to form a new government the politicians of war but any foreign aid will be the. change and reform of zeros bonus with reports. rich or poor the beirut explosion didn't discriminate 10 people died in the luxury seaview apartments that overlook the port

and alice assad's house. she and her 2 children had left home half an hour before the blast they raced back to find this. alice pays a rent fixed in the 1960 s. the common practice here if the landlord can't afford the repairs or release the funds home will probably stay like this i now must learn to most important thing is for the kids to have a place to sleep comfortably with food we will not starve but we need our home back . businesses too must find the money to rebuild if they think it's worth it. this country was already enjoying an economic crisis after a shortage of foreign currency last year sent its currency into freefall i don't know if you will be able to put more money into it i don't know we need. not only also. everybody. needs someone 70000 homes and

a so far uncalculated number of businesses were destroyed or damaged when 2750 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded at beirut port last tuesday. a dozen schools also need rebuilding this is the city's oldest the school of the 3 doctors the dishy. challenges huge an explosion of the scale is exceptional before rebuilding you have to appraise the structure see if everything can hold up sometimes you have to consolidate sometimes you have to destroy to rebuild so it will take real building expertise. every homeowner every business every institution needs glass and building materials and nearly all of that is imported. so. dollars. but the money is locked in inaccessible bank accounts for many here it's effectively stolen by political elite that's been running the country for decades.

so the pressure is on palm and to appoint a new prime minister and a new cabinet and it's been made clear to them that they'll be no international funds for the city's reconstruction until the palm and ends the dominance of iran backed hezbollah and its allies french president emanuel says he wants to see progress by september the 1st. al-jazeera beirut let's go live now to beirut. so they know what's happening there. well people are in martyrs square this has been an effort the epicenter of a protest movement that began in october people demanding a new leadership for months now really fed up with the political elite they blame for running the economy into the ground the blast last week really raised the their voices they said that enough is enough not only do we want

a new leadership we want those in power to be held accountable and that justice should be served but what is becoming clear at least for the time being is that their demand for an independent government a government that does not include any of the political parties that have been governing this country that demand is not on the table what is on the table right now is that the different political factions are engaged in behind the scenes negotiations to come up with some sort of a political deal to agree on a new prime minister and a new cabinet there's little consensus for the time being and many believe that it will be a long drawn out process in order to come up with a new prime minister and the new government to manage the crisis the hezbollah led alliance. which holds political power they control the previous government that resigned on monday they don't want to lose political power but at the same time they realize they can't govern alone they need someone like the former prime

minister. who has friends in the international community to head the next government but sato how d.d. is attaching conditions to his return to office he wants to be able to manage the reconstruction file he wants to be able to call the shots to carry out much needed reforms to get international aid so behind the scenes these political parties who people really were hoping would leave office they are negotiating behind closed doors the french they're the main power broker in this specific crisis in lebanon and they too are involved in this negotiations the united states as well which is exerting a lot of influence the u.s. also has its conditions on the political elites so right now there is negotiations to see what kind of political new political order will emerge but the fear in the street is that nothing much is going to change which is there is a hold up reporting live from moscow in beirut many thanks indeed sanna

government has based its assertions that this vaccine is good to go as it were contrast what the german government is saying with what certain other governments are saying a suggestion that the governor of a large state in brazil is going to be in meetings on wednesday with the ambassador the russian ambassador in brazil about what might be able to be done there but even in brazil there are certain senior officials who have expressed grave reservations as i say about the haste with which the russian government is proceeding to marketing this vaccine as something that large chunks of society will be able to use anytime soon as i say the most important thing here is the germans are being very cautious they themselves have their own research into vaccines they've put a lot of money in in towards it but they are saying what needs to be done here is proper peer research and open research where other scientists are able to analyze

what the germans have done what anything to victim has done that says it's found a vaccine so that it can be verified and falsified and because they say they haven't been able to do that that explains that the caution with which they are viewing what's going on in moscow we'll get a weather update. then historic choice. becomes the 1st woman of color in the u.s. to be named as a major party presidential ticket. considered offensive to islam her social media post sparked violent protests and somebody. hello once again welcome to another cat the international for coffee has something of a little bit of a break across japan in terms of the wet and the windy weather but cloud of the

contender on tuesday they're expected to host a virtual fundraiser for their campaign to sirius allen fisher is in washington with more. joe biden picked someone who was always going to be near the top of the v.p. picks anyway the fact that she is a woman of color obviously helped given that he committed to picking a woman early in the process but she really fits the mold of former v.p. candidates you really only go outside the mall when you think you're far behind and don't have a chance of winning geraldine ferraro syria appeal and there are 2 examples of that camel harris doesn't fit into that mold a tall she is what many people would regard as a safe pick and that 55 certainly helped liberals who are looking at joe biden and think you're pretty old me think well could she do the job or speak and if you're independent voters last night the are certainly reassured that the choice was coming the house it seems like a good pick for joe biden he will undoubtedly get

a bounce in the opinion polls that's what happens when you pick your v.p. but the republicans are more concerned that donald trump is behind even though he has tweeted this morning that he's got 96 percent approval rating the problem party that's probably true but he says we're also ahead in many swing states not in any of the polls i've seen to be honest taiwan's president has called on china to use dialogue instead of oppression in hong kong on monday hong kong police arrested 10 people including a newspaper owner and a high profile pro-democracy activist under the new beijing imposed national security law saying when promised her government would support the people of hong kong i thank you they even though i once again solemnly called in the beijing authorities that when the people are taking a stand together and fighting for something the government should find ways to resolve disputes instead of oppressing the people and depriving them of freedom and

human rights only by having a sincere dialogue with the people of hong kong can dispute speed result and can hong kong society return to cam. isco well i've got a hong kong of the series adrian brown as adrian scion when has been speaking within the last hour what more did she have to say well when you are leader of taiwan you have to do what you can to raise your international profile because of course there are just 15 countries that recognize taiwan was dying when on wednesday was addressing the hudson institute that's a conservative think tank in washington and she had many themes to her through her addressed but i think the central one were her comments about hong kong she said that the world had been saddened to see that the beacon of freedom of being extinguished in hong kong she said that the ties between hong kong and taiwan go back many years and she also said and this was her only real reference to china

without naming china she said that while some countries while the world has been distracted by covert 19 other countries have been targeting democracies around the world now why does all this matter well you know at the moment taiwan is a country which is basically regarded by china as a breakaway province to be taken back from by force if necessary president xi jinping had warned just a year ago that the people of taiwan had better accept that one day sooner rather than later they will be reunified with the motherland and the premier of china leak a chunk addressed the national people's congress just a few months ago and he didn't refer to a peaceful reunification with taiwan he simply referred to a reunification so that has led to increasing speculation that eventually china will resort to force to take back this renegade province and in fact many analysts will tell you that the chances of that happening a greater now than they were 5 years ago of

a serious adrian brown live there in hong kong adrian many thanks indeed. the u.s. secretary of state says that his department complied with the law on arms sales to saudi arabia in 2019 a government watchdog found that the state department didn't properly evaluate the risk of civilian casualties in yemen members of congress asked for the investigation of the trumpet ministration pressed ahead with the sale without the usual congressional review we had united states senators and putin tell your foreign service officer suggested done something unlawful it was outrageous that to arrange for them to continue to make those crimes we did everything by the book we complied with the law it's what the state department oh i do you found it well and i'm proud of the work that my team did and we got to a really good out and we prevented the loss of civilian lives in zimbabwe a prominent journalist and government critic is back in court to ask for bail ople

chian all know was arrested alongside an opposition politician last month and charged with incitement ahead of anti-government protests president innocent went on gaga has been accused of cracking down on dissent as calls grow for his resignation his peer group is a senior consultant for the international crisis group for southern africa nations he says the hopewell chanel no is likely to be granted bail but have restrictions placed on his journalism. this is a renewed occasion given his previous bella occasion was refused in the magistrate's court and then that refusal upheld in the high court controversially last week so this is an attempt to say there are new circumstances and to which an order should be granted well my sense is that he's likely to be granted. with some pretty severe restrictions on his social media and his public communications this will be used by the zimbabwean government to illustrate judicial independence and

so forth. they would necessarily expect in the kind of all of the negative feedback that they have received in the last couple of weeks around this case and related matters. so i think that this may be an opportunity to to release him now but they may be concerned also about the details that he will provide about additions inside prison and the concerns about the spread of code in prison as well so we will hear this so the noon but my sense is that it's like he will be granted . at least 127 people have been killed in south sudan during fighting between government troops and civilians the army was carrying out some operations to some civilians in one up states when the violence began reports so that dudes in the greater toned area accused security for architect security forces and investigations on the way in sudan an all night curfew has been imposed in the

eastern city of port sudan after 3 days of violence that medical sources say that at least 25 people have been killed since fighting broke out between members of rival ethnic groups a state of emergency was employed last year after fighting between the 2 sides. morgan has more now from car too. first of all let's look at how this has been unfolding this is not the 1st time we see tribal clashes between the beni armor and the nuba tribes it's been going on for years now and has escalated over the past 12 months for the last year we've seen fighting resulting in the deaths of dozens and injuries of hundreds we've seen a state of emergency impose their will that was eventually lifted but it kind of gives you an idea of the wider context of not just the eastern part of sudan but really the whole country tribal identities and ethnic identities do play a role in how things unfold on the ground now in port sudan between 2 individuals from opposing tribes from the and the new but perhaps that eventually pulled in

members of the same tribe so we've seen the government responding by sending more troops yesterday the prime minister is due to brief the security and defense committee tomorrow to try to figure out a solution on the they've called for calm the newly appointed civilian governor has imposed. a curfew in the eastern city so they are trying to mitigate the tribal clashes between the 2 sides but this needs to be addressed at the root the root causes of this conflict needs to be addressed now those 2 sides as i said have been clashing for several years now which has escalated over the past few months no solution no deep rooted solution has been found yet and for many they think that it's an idea and an issue of who actually deserves to be in ports again who deserves to be identified as part of the east and who is actually somebody who is overstepping on a territory that is not varies so a lot of issues right now at stake mostly the issue of ethnic identity and tribal

identity and who belongs and who doesn't and it looks like every government does not step in which is something that activists have been called for then this violence will continue 3 people have died in the indian city of bengal violence sparked by an alleged offense of social media post about the process 100. protesters clashed with police and fired on the crowd facebook post was made by a relative of a local politician elizabeth purana reports. the charred remains of a violent protest burned out vehicles a strewn on the streets of bengal police say that staff to a 1000 people went to the home of a politician on tuesday night angry about an alleged facebook post by his relative which insulted as labs prophet muhammad they said vehicles on fire outside the home and destroyed property in the neighborhood. muslim men came from there between 932 there were 20 of them carrying beaton's.
