protesters and by the rooster keeping up pressure on their longtime leader alexander lukashenko a day of mourning has turned into a 7th consecutive day of mass protests calling for political change after a disputed presidential vote thousands of laid flowers and candles at the site where a man died on monday during the violent crackdown on protestors crowds have been chanting leave aimed at president look at shankar who's facing the biggest challenge to his 26 year rule. a funeral is being held for the 34 year old protester by the o.c. in authority say an explosive device blew up in his hand but opposition supporters don't accept the official account another man died in police custody while 7000 others were detained many say they were beaten and tortured because hank has made it clear he has no intention of stepping down and he's rejected foreign mediation but in a call with russia's president vladimir putin the 2 leaders have agreed problems in belarus will be resolved swiftly boston is joining us live from minsk step just 1st

of all talk us through what's been happening today there. yes i'm near pushkin's. metro station where the 34 year old car mechanic killed on monday night it's still unclear as to how he exactly died but it's for should have he had an open chest went during that night and also the tonight send the week police has also been grenades so there's also here on this square a lot of remains of. rubber bullets we have found us while in the last 6 hours people have been streaming in to visit the shrine is a huge pile of flowers but they are for the memory of car mechanics but also as a sign of protest and defiance thousands of people also carrying children around also singing songs it's

a very euphoric atmosphere i have to say earlier in the day when there was a one minute silence for the victims there were a lot of tears people crying holding. making a peace sign so very remarkable scenes here today again in minsk where protests are not stopping and only growing bigger and start when we were talking about these protests on friday you were telling us that there seems to be a significant change in the way the security forces are approaching this are we seeing any difference today. yet the protestors are just really demonstrating there's no police there are no security forces around for the last 48 hours i have to say yesterday friday when the people were marching towards the independence square there was some military in front of the government house but they were to their shields which led to

remarkable scenes with women hawking them there were some riot police also standing by and there were also. reports about trucks military trucks moving into the city but so far they haven't shown themselves despite the fact that some people here have been trying to create rumors that everyone needs to be very careful because riot police any minute we haven't seen a sign of them and it has led to this atmosphere of freedom that people haven't felt here for decades. some live for us in minsk when i was we were mentioning earlier on the president of president look at shanghai had made a phone call to vladimir putin in russia. is a visiting senior fellow at king's college london she says despite being traditional allies putin has been cautious not to take sides in the situation but. puts him as very smart he is careful he was the 2nd lead the whole congratulated on

the victory but never condemned the protest he never actually said that he shared look after and cause assessment that the this is a net exporter of colored revolution i here expressed a very cautious hope that the protests would result through peaceful means also more or less stepped aside watching very closely but also prepared to deal with whoever comes on the top look ushant is desperate for any lies he's relationship with moscow is a really quite badly shade of the some people say that look africa has a bit over almost of touch of reality of that here a learning of both of the east and the west and so now he is their spirit a put in is his last hope a but putin has an old acted in the weight of a signal that he is going to rescue the question kept in the course that sounds wherever would come on top of you would realize that they leave someone tain

friends near relationship with moscow as it happened in that me now and so. there is a marriage off site patients. crowds marching for a 6th weekend in russia's far east have shown solidarity with the protesters in bello for weeks now they've been rallying against the a rest of the region's former governor who defeated a pro kremlin rival in elections 2 years ago. was detained last month and taken to jail in moscow is accused of murders 15 years ago when he was a businessman supporters say the charges are politically motivated. the u.s. secretary of state has signed a deal with a polish defense minister to redeploy troops from germany to poland my pompei was in warsaw at the end of a 4 nation tour of central and eastern europe around 4 and a half 1000 u.s.

troops are currently based in poland and $1000.00 more are being added the pentagon's announced last month that $12000.00 soldiers are being withdrawn from germany early hof of those are said to be moved to other countries in europe the us postal service is warning that it cannot guarantee all ballots cast by mail for the november presidential election will arrive in time to be counted there's expected to be a huge rise in mail in voting as a result of the coronavirus pandemic president donald trump has tried to restrict the method threatening to withhold funds for the postal service he claims is at risk of fraud without giving any evidence that trump is family and many top aides have regularly voted by mail themselves and he's requested a mail in ballot for florida's primary next week. former u.s. president barack obama has joined the criticism the postal service is functioning he's tweeted that everyone depends on the u.s.p.s. seniors for those social security veterans for their prescriptions small businesses

trying to keep their doors open they can't be collateral damage for the administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus. i did joe castro's live for us from the u.s. state of maryland let's talk about these letters which are being sent out 1st what is in the mom what's the impact told the. police are essentially warnings from the u.s. postal service delivered to $46.00 states plus the district of columbia that say that these mail in ballots are in jeopardy because the postal service cannot guarantee that they would be delivered in time to be counted it's certainly of great concern as the presidential elections are happening in just 80 days from today and in these letters directed to various states that it's requesting these states to move up the deadline for voters to request those mail in ballots and for voters to return them in the mail however that would require many of these days to

change their laws in a sense now with such few days remaining that would be an in possibility so many are seeing this happen and of course the u.s. postal service is a branch of the federal government and people are wondering whether of this is part of president trump with his very public battle against mail in voting he has said repeatedly without evidence that it could lead to massive fraud and we just heard him earlier this week brazenly admit that he wanted to withhold funding from the postal service to deny its ability to expand services and make sure those ballots are mailed in and counted though he did walk back those statements on friday and as you said he himself is planning to cast a mail in ballot in the upcoming primary in florida but many are looking at this is just the latest development in what some are seeing as president trumps attempt to sabotage the mail in ballot process heidi why is this so much focus in all of this

on the man at the top of the postal service. well there he is part of what people are saying is this and intend to sabotage the mail in ballots because the postal the postmaster louis to joy is a republican fundraiser who was appointed to the top post by president trump in may and since he's taken the helm of the postal service we've seen a series of controversial reforms that joyce says is to save money but in its impact has been slower mail delivery because workers are allowed to work fewer hours so lawmakers of both parties have said that these reforms may be damaging to the postal services ability to develop to deliver ballots on time and we just saw a parent leave the post service concert confirming that itself in these letters in these warnings made out mailed out to states today was how does your cost to live for us in the mirror and heidi thank you very much indeed let's talk to steve

clemons he's the host of al-jazeera is the bottom line he's also editor at large for the hill the online political website he's joining us by skype from chester sonne in maryland steve good to have you with us as always to the regular world looking from the outside it does look like president john busy century saying malan votes might mean i don't get reelected therefore i'm going to strangle funding for mail in votes how is the accurate and how is that playing out in the u.s. . well i have to say that the way people around the world are looking at it at it it's very similar to the way people inside the united states are looking at it you know i think what president trump is doing is it as you pointed out already has already kind of pointed a finger at mail in ballots and said that this process could be rife with fraud there's no. broad experience with that in the united states as you said the president himself by mail in ballots but he's creating a pretext so even if the post office works very hard with crippling conditions and

the president and now the new postmaster general trying to removing the equipment and machinery and the sorting machines that might help them succeed around the time of elections even if that were all to happen the president has already created in his mind enough doubt about the process and we've already seen medicine not getting to people on time checked being held up and slowdowns in mail delivery all over the united states as things are even right now you know 2 and a half months before the election so he's creating a pretext that he may be able to use after the election to say this was fraudulent is this having any residence with a voters in the u.s. are people actually picking up on these duds and beginning to distrust some in the mail in process. right it's the biggest story in the united states and i think states are trying right now to communicate with their voters and and anticipating

this you know i have requested my mail in ballot but but trying to send them in as early as possible so a bulk of americans who who are going to decide to vote by mail in ballot if they mail that ballot in 15 days 10 days before the election then those ballots substantively will not have a problem and you're already seeing a lot of chatter on news this is the top story in the united states right now so so there's a lot of awareness about it but i don't think that even if the post office does a very good job of people send in their ballots early i don't think it's going to keep the president from saying that this was a wobbly and project and process so we need to keep those 2 tracks separate one track is can the post office do its job and the other track is even if the post office does see and efficiently and appropriately managing these mail in ballots does the president then communicate that he trusts this process and that's highly

doubtful steve do you get an impression that people in the u.s. are changing the way that they are seeing the election that they are less likely not to to trust the results of their likes and as a result of these seeds of doubt that are being sewn. i think there's a collapse of trusts broadly in america right now in government in these institutions in the white house in congress i think that those that are opponents of. president trump are going to turn out at polls ringback and are going to turn out at mail in ballots and those that support president trump are going to support him enormously if the election would help some are 0 even republican pollsters and fox pollsters believe that joe biden would win fairly overwhelmingly with more than $300.00 electoral college votes but as we get closer to the election we see

a lot of similarities between donald trump's numbers and what hillary clinton's numbers were and the similarities to where where joe biden is so i think that if you if you had a situation in which. trump loses i think that his base is going to erupt and think it was fraudulent if donald trump wins i think you're going to see much of the rest of the country argue that that election was stolen so to your point yes i think there's going to be doubt on both sides and i think when you add to that that these mail in ballots are likely to create conditions where we don't know the winner the night of november 3rd as we typically do that's going to add fuel to the fire always good to get your thoughts steve clemons we appreciate it thank you very much indeed thank you robert. but more ahead on the news hour including i'm wayne hale in bangkok where protests design preparing to escalate their campaign to try to force the government out and reform the highest institution in thailand's. had

a long standing world record smashed in the 1st competitive afloat it's meeting since the coronavirus shutdown peter is going to have all the details of the support. iran's going to be able to start buying conventional weapons again in october about after the u.s. failed to get a 13 year ban extended just one other nation backed it in a vote of the u.n. security council the dominican republic france the u.k. germany and 8 other members abstained the white house is threatening to find other ways to bring back sanctions but iran says the u.s. has never been so isolated better yet. the u.s. has worked for months to prepare a resolution to his iran and it could only get one vote supporting it from a small country the dominican republic you see how they've been humiliated the recent 11 countries abstained into voted against it was because they believe the

preservation of the way is essential for the interests of the region and the world yesterday was a political achievement for iran and a political failure for the u.s. and speaking in poland u.s. secretary of state mike compares had his government would not give up. this was a serious mistake we regret that the united states simply wanted to extend a set of rules have been in place since 2007 and as we have said before the united states is determined to make sure that the iranians and this regime this theocratic regime doesn't have the capacity to inflict even more harm on the world and so we'll continue to work on that i think there are a lot of people on that bridge privately on this trip that understand that it is not in the world's best interest to allow this arms or barbara to expire i hope they will find the courage to say so publicly and assist us in the ensuring this is arms embargo is extended actually shocking is a senior lecturer in middle east politics at the university of bradford and he explains the significance of european countries not backing the us and why it's

likely to be temporary. i don't think this is a declaration of solidarity with their own in any sense of the term even britain made it very clear that they are still extremely concerned about. foreign policy they are extremely concerned about so many other issues that they probably agree with the united states when it comes to iran but britain decided to side with allies. and for them at the moment the most important objective at least for the remaining all months of the present from presidency is basically preserving these deals with the hope that maybe maybe if there is a new president in the white house for 5 months 9. 100 revitalised. over the last basically since 2008 the european powers more or less they maintain their consistent message that the on so many other issues with the united states

when it comes to missile programs when it comes to foreign policy in the region when it comes to violation of human rights inside iran was when it comes to this is the sticky issue preservation of the deal the europeans seem to be very consistent and that has created a almost unprecedented kind of gap between between europe and the united states in my opinion basically this issue has been the single most important disagreement between europe and washington over the last 3 or 4 years the u.s. is calling for a father and transparent investigation into the port blast in lebanon's capital 2 weeks ago more than 200 people were killed when a warehouse with ammonium nitrate exploded. we can never go back to an era in which anything goes at the border of the borders of lebanon. had to contribute to the situation and i think it's very important people how. best to do that with. every

state every sovereign state controller's its exports and its borders thoroughly i magine it would like to receive a return to that and not have anything goes atmosphere that we've seen in recent years. egypt and sudan are calling for grand dam negotiations to continue with ethiopia after they were suspended last week so the. doc is currently hosting his egyptian counterpart in khartoum they say the african union mediation should continue until a deal is reached age of 10 sudan fear if the o.p.'s hydroelectric dam will threaten their water security officials in afghanistan say a member of their peace negotiating team has survived an assassination attempt the interior ministry says fazio hoofy was attacked on friday afternoon near kabul she's part of a group representing afghanistan in upcoming peace talks with the taliban he said

to be in good condition the armed group has denied any involvement and the attack. protest is in thailand they're planning another large rally on sunday as they continue their push to remove the government and reform the monarchy the mainly student led protesters are calling for significant changes to their while families role in society which is considered a taboo subject in thailand might have reports. there's a new generation of protesters in thailand and they're daring to go where few others have at times they've been gathering in their thousands and speaking about an issue that supposed to be off limits i'm being i just want to say that to speak out about the marquis something that we can do the royal family is protected by laws designed to prevent criticism but these protesters who are mainly students say they won't stay silent anymore along with calling for elections and a new constitution have announced a set of demands to reform the monarchy and reduce its political power the student

to announce the demands on stage is wanted by police however i have mixed feelings i'm glad that i've started a conversation i think that i'm playing a crucial role in this movement but at the same time i feel bad because we've been suppressed for far too long and many people have been too afraid to speak up so far protests by royalist groups have been small but given the strong language from the students they could grow in the meantime they're choosing to lay complaints with police but it people have the right to protest but you have to do it correctly you have to follow the rules and the laws are not criticized the monarchy that criticism and questioning the role of the royal family has increased since the death in 2016 of king a do new day who reigned for 70 years his son king know what you are long gone spends most of his time in europe but has strengthened his position amending the constitution and taking full control of palace assets since 932 thailand has been

a constitutional monarchy and the king as head of state is supposed to have limited power but in reality he is the ultimate political power and that's what the protesters say they want to change they're not looking for an overthrow of the monarchy but an overhaul of the system for gathering peacefully and calling for that the protesters are risking their freedom so the whole or the american bar. if i'm arrested i will ask for bail because that will prevent me from talking about politics i'd rather spend a few years in prison and come out swinging thailand has a history of political upheaval and violence and given the unprecedented nature of these protests more could be on the way when hey al jazeera bangkok one of the main student leaders organizing sunday's planned mass rally has been released on bail. supporters welcomed also known as penguin as he walked out of the police station he was arrested on friday for taking part in an anti-government rally last month and

he faces sedition charges the 22 year old activist is vowing to continue calling for political reform. i don't regret being arrested because since i joined the movement i knew this might happen but it won't be in vain everyone should have the courage to talk about the monarchy there is a police unit trailing me so i'm not sure about my safety but tomorrow there is a big rally so i needed to get bailed to get out and to lead to protest. to ban zone but it has expressed deep remorse for his country's wartime past its marking 75 years since it surrendered to allied forces in effect ending world war 2 and not a veto hopes the tragedy will never be repeated but there was no apology from prime minister shinzo thanked the was dead for those sacrifices he avoided a personal visit to a controversial shrine which is cause division between japan china and south korea but foreign ministers from his cabinet offered prayers at the u.s. okinawa shine a lot of murchison is an expert in the region she says prime minister shinzo avi

has changed japan's security policy. japan has made a lot of the pole of use of both the fed reparations and normalize their relations with many of the countries that they did have conflicts with there are still some ongoing issues some of the victims especially in china or in south korea the countries that well the brunt of japanese imperialism still pursuing their own forms of justice took quite a long time the conservative party and the ruling liberal democratic party has been pursuing mullally way in it's the fence and security policy a lot of officials believe that that peace constitution is quite outdated because it was signed in the context it was kind of in full of the punjab and by the occupying u.s. forces and. it was done sort of enact it in the context of the immediate

post-war when the u.s. was to demille it tries to plan but now that will almost immediately enough that the cold war broke out and the u.s. and japan signed an alliance so almost even by that stage the peace constitution was sort of keeping it kind of expire a day and certainly prime minister abbott has made it he knew. he primary objective is to be change that piece constitution and you haven't managed to change it it's very difficult process that i think he has political legacy will be that he has changed the status of japan security policy by finding ways to work around the u.k. has also come out and getting the end of world war 2 set of monies upon how to mock the 75th anniversary of a victory over japan day your service and your sacrifice will echo through the ages prince charles paid tribute to tens of thousands of british

was given the green light in june to use a vaccine that's still being tested and it's one of china's 8 vaccine candidates they've been approved for trials at home and abroad the u.s. and the u.k. signed several multibillion dollar deals with some of the world's biggest pharmaceutical companies to supply vaccines the global race to find a cure for covert 19 prompted the world health organization to warn against so-called vaccine nationalism it's warning of wealthy countries keep treatments to themselves they won't be safe because put on nations will remain exposed. or just like the most is the director for the national center for disaster preparedness at columbia university and he's joining us on skype from manchester in connecticut good to have you with us thank you very much indeed for joining us on al-jazeera if i understand it correctly let's talk about the russian vaccine 1st of all find a sense of correctly that it has russia has lodged phase one and phase 2 of the testing but it hasn't given any details of this how much can people actually trust

this vaccine. i think not very much is the short answer to that question but there seems to be a lot of smoke and mirrors with this kind of press release debut anyway because it does look like from what i've read that they are going into additional trials and just licensing kind of the use for some front line responders in highly vulnerable populations which is still very problematic for a backseat that has not been there only tested but also seems to be deployed very differently than what's being sort of celebrated and lauded from the press releases and the announcements being made as we were just talking about there's a lot of nationalism a lot of pride and there's also a lot of money involved in this is nationalism and profit getting in the way of safety you know at this point for the major players and for the really the vaccines that i'm really keeping a closer eye on such as the oxford vaccine the moderna vaccine and others that really have the potential to be produced at scale you know as of yet i'm not seeing that now that is something that obviously we need to keep

a close eye on but there are a lot of moves a lot of licensing agreements recently announced with the serum institute in india the gates foundation has also been contributing to make sure that there are lots purchased or a license in a way so that it can p. produced in lower cost environments and have more global of alle ability so i do think in the broader perspective and for the vaccines it will most likely be available at the scale that we need globally and there are measures being made to help ensure that there is more equity in that distribution but that doesn't mean we should take our eye off of this because there's always the potential for it to slip towards the wealthier countries or those with more purchasing power yet the equity of distribution is something of course as we just mentioned that the world health organization is very concerned about that even if the richer countries manage to to corner the market essentially that still doesn't mean that they are at any less of a risk because as the w.h.o. says the poorer a country which doesn't have the vaccine is still going to be open to the infection and may well spread it from there. and i think that's a really important point right with any pandemic it's

a global pandemic it's impacting globally it's not impacting a single nation and so in addition to just the the spread of infection itself you also need to trade with these countries that would still be battling a pandemic and and the global economy would still be suffering even if there are brighter spots with less infection in nations but it's also important to note that these vaccines these 1st batches of vaccines may also not be at the high levels of efficacy that we're used to seeing in vaccines in the u.s. the f.d.a. the federal drug administration is willing to approve vaccines as low as 50 percent effectiveness now that'll give us leaps and bounds in terms of extending the impact of our social distancing policies masks things like that it will be a big help but it won't in another itself be a solution or an exit strategy to this pandemic so we do need to continue to think of this holistically even when a vaccine does come on the horizon that is available in many countries around the world there is a suspicion of vaccines in a suspicion of injections particularly vaccination programs which are government

sponsored if this doesn't work if a vaccine is rolled out and it either simply doesn't work at all or it has significant side effects what do you think the impact is going to be on the later attempts to roll out a more effective vaccine. and this is why the sort of announcement of vaccines before they're through their safety trials and efficiency trials are so incredibly dangerous because it feeds that cynicism and it feeds that suspicion and rolling out a vaccine that that doesn't work that is said to work or rolling out a vaccine that is dangerous it could severely undermined the ability to have any widespread vaccination policies in the future just like a much really good to get your thoughts on this we appreciate your time so thank you very much indeed thank you glad to be here. india has seen another record in daily corona virus infections and confirmed more than $65000.00 cases despite that the prime minister praised the country's handling of the outbreak now under modi said almost $1.00 trillion dollars will be injected into infrastructure projects to

intensive care unit. the franklin mint also blames it on one thing more than. parents' behavior leaving children to play together in parks in shopping malls or family this that's what leading the increase in sections among children. serious coby cases among children still very far from widespread the most of those here already had other medical complications. as in other countries the virus is affecting children is different from the symptoms shown by older sufferers. it's not the same as the adult infection which causes lack of breath after about a month they've been developing pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome which affects several organs especially their heart. the staff are doing their best to help them learning new techniques as they go it's tough for them to. it's really
