constitution could be made but he wouldn't do it under pressure the speech came hours after opposition leaders had learned to kind of skier said she was ready to help lead the country during a transition period she sent a video message from exile in the neighboring the 3 way neo protesters across the country have made it clear they want local shanker out and thousands of workers a state owned factories and the state broadcaster have joined a national strike. i know how scared you are because we are all scared thank you for overcoming her fear and joining the majority west of us and joining us from outside the state media headquarters in minsk step the fact that the state media employees are coming out in defiance is significant isn't it because state media has been the voice of the government for so long. absolutely extraordinary scenes here at the balor television where 130 workers walked out this morning there was an empty studio it's on t.v.

and after that they've just been rerunning shows they were joined here by other protesters who have now demanded television station to tell them to truths and stop lying and stop spreading propaganda later they were also joined by thousands of workers from factories around the capital really strategic factories. car trucks trailer factories large factories so metal workers also have completely stopped working so the industry is not producing anything right now so this is really turning into a very serious headache for president look at shango ceases the pressure on him to resign only increasing and president has been speaking has been just a few hours ago what was he saying. well he went into this wheel and trailer factory this very strategic factory he went inside with a helicopter talking to the workers hoping that they were sort of listening to him

but he actually found a very unusual scene there workers right in front of him writing into his face asked him to leave this so he has shocked the president it was clear from the from the video and he has always considered himself as the father of the nation the but the guy they call him here and this of course was something he has never experienced in his 26 years as the president of a ballerina. vasan reporting to us from outside the state media headquarters in minsk stuff thanks very much indeed. well as the mass movement continues and belarus european union leaders have called for an emergency summit on wednesday they're going to be discussing the disputed election and the violent crackdown on protesters that speak to dominick cain who's joining me from how are the e.u. nations reacting to all of this dominick. there's been a chorus of condemnation from across europe capitals to the events that have

unfolded in men's and in. a wider level in the last few days in the last week or so and in this capital city in berlin the government pressing for strong measures to be taken part of a raft of ideas that are coming from europe right now the polish government a view from the being that the european endowment for democracy should be enacted to help the situation in belarus and then at a pan european level from brussels the president of the european council michele calling a special summit video conference of heads of state heads of government for wednesday to discuss what more can be done given the fact that the european union's clout as it were is political and economic not military so the european union looking to try to ratchet up the pressure it can put in to help the situation there remembering that one head of state the french president's menu and that clause has said that

the views of the protesters in belarus must be respected if you view things from that prism it explains how the european union reaction is unfolding at the summit to be held on wednesday to discuss what more can be done as dominic came talking to us from berlin dominic thank you very much indeed. well the democratic party in the us will gather virtually in the coming hours for its national convention the event will see joe biden officially named as the democratic candidate for president on an official reports and how he clinched the nomination. back before covered just as the primary process got underway if you would have banked on joe biden winning the democratic presidential nomination the idea he would be in a position to unveil a vice presidential pick as he did last week would almost have been laughable he lost heavily in iowa he had little better in the next 2 contests but was saved by a win in south carolina a diverse electorate the 1st day to go the press and the funny thing to clear this

candidacy yes that was a key moment when the democratic party saw him rather than bernie sanders as the man to beat donald trump when i'm sure his convey was that there's no way that you're going to be able to get most of america to support. and as we saw that happen in the primaries the people that support birdie and war is just they do not show up at the polls before super tuesday when several states hold nominating contests key rivals dropped out in the club a short step to citing gave their support he won several states enough to make victory look inevitable and so closest rivals elizabeth warren and bernie sanders dropped out to joe biden had all but secured the presidential nomination i think joe biden won with experience also because they coalesced around joe biden because they realize donald trump didn't want to peace joe biden joe biden has already

spent 8 years in the white house as barack obama's vice president he's been around politics for almost half a century but he's never had to campaign like this is a pandemic changes the face of presidential politics there are no big rallies no crisscrossing the country to speak with supporters it's no virtually all. virtual got only democratic senate small gatherings the sea help joe biden to excel and the crisis has allowed him to highlight the president's actions something one expert believes helps the challenger he doesn't have to travel to 50 cities and travel to 4 and 5 cities and in one day he's able to kind of you know lay back and rest as a 77 year old man so i think that helps and in addition you know all the mistakes and show that president trump is making you know that of cost you know close 216-5000 lives i think and counting i think that you know that helps joe

biden 3 decades after his 1st presidential bid joe biden has arrived where he wants to be he's finally convinced his party he's the man for the job no he has 11 weeks to convince the country alan fischer al-jazeera washington. white house correspondent kimberly hawkins joining us live from washington d.c. with this virtual convention this is a big change for us electioneering isn't one of the main themes we're going to see . that well in terms of the convention it's an unconventional national convention now there will be all kinds of different themes that will be touched on but the biggest theme of all will be that in countering the message of u.s. president donald trump uniting the party that at times has been somewhat fractured in order to accomplish that task so couple of quito speakers of note former 1st lady michelle obama will be speaking as well as senator bernie sanders who has been

instrumental in pushing many of the democratic party's policies further to the left to attract some of those so-called progressive democrat voters but at the same time there will also be another effort underway somewhat a usual that will be coming from u.s. president donald trump he is going to be visiting a number of battleground states in fact he's just left the white house he will be going to minnesota as well as wisconsin and even potentially iowa we understand in order to paint a contrast some argue that the president is trolling the democratic national convention what makes this unusual is typically the other party would sort of stand silent well national convention is going on but this is not the case with us president trump in fact he says he will be sending a message that he is the person to do the job for the next 4 years he's got a bit of a tough sell though given the fact that most polls show that they favor in terms of voting with the american public favors joe biden over donald trump by at least 9

percentage points as we're heading up towards the november elections one of the key elements surprisingly perhaps has become the u.s. postal service and the democrats are making that a key element of all of the run up to the elections just talk us through what's happening with the control to see around. well it all comes down to cope with 19 the fact that many americans don't feel safe standing in line for hours to cast a ballot in person so what many states are doing is saying look at we're going to send out mailing ballots so that you can mail in your vote now the u.s. president is vehemently opposed to this he says that this is an opportunity for fraud in fact as he left the white house just now he said that he wants to make sure the election is not stolen what he wants is for people to physically stand in line he says he would even support having the voting start early in order to allow for this now what's ironic in all of this is the president himself has in the past voted through the mail although that was

a process known as absentee balloting but what the sort of argument from the other side is from democrats is that the u.s. president is trying to reorganize the postal service in order to suppress the vote and as a result the house speaker nancy pelosi is calling back democrats the democratic controlled house of representatives later this week to try and push forward legislation to prevent the president for reorganizing the post office right now they say this is to break sure that everyone has a chance to vote once again though the u.s. president defending this reorganization of the postal service saying that all he was to do is make sure it saves money but many people argue that if that was a real priority why is he doing this now so close to a u.s. election as a white house correspondent kimberly holcomb thank you very much indeed conflict with the u.s. department of interior has approved an oil and gas leasing plan that opens up the arctic national wildlife refuge for drilling the coastal plain has remained

it's the 3rd worst affected country with more than 2 and a half 1000000 people infected that's also having a devastating economic effect japan's economy shrank 7.8 percent in the last quarter and new zealand's prime minister has been forced to postpone next month's election the country's seen a resurgence of cases after boasting more than 3 months without any infections elizabeth raman is in new delhi with more on the situation in india. the across the 50000 mark in deaths the recorded and confirmed number. of remains the worst affected state 20. 1 media half of the deaths in the state of maharashtra botched the number of cases and deaths are going down in the capital but they are growing in other parts of the state now when you look at the numbers though and you recorded one of on sunday it had nearly 58000 cases which is lower than the number of cases over the pos week but if you look closer it also conducted about 100000

fewer tests than it has in the last week and this also concerned about the type of tests that are being conducted because up to 30 percent of the tests that are being done in the country are the less accurate rapid and teaching tests which all quicker to do but they report false negatives up to 50 percent off the time now if you take somewhere like delhi for example with the number of cases have been coming down over the past month well the supreme court asked the delhi government weeks ago to explain why it was conducting twice the number of the rapid antigen tests as it was the more accurate test known as the. there's been no real explanation and that time the government has continued with what it's been doing in the number of cases have been coming down and the concern is that there are people who have the infection and possibly it on to others because they're not being tested all because it's the old because the tests is giving

a false negative. robin brive reports on the slump in japan's economy. the scale of japan's contraction is worse than even the most pessimistic for costs it would translate into an annualized decline of more than 27 percent for an economy that was already in recession it took a big hit in the last quarter of 2019 and then the coronavirus effect began to come in in 2020 so the japanese economy is in a world of hurt exports like costs have fallen by more than a quarter around a year ago while in band tourists have virtually disappeared it's a personal setback for japan's prime minister shinzo abbate who has made the economy one of his priorities and he will be hoping the only way for the economy to go now is up she has a lot of. which we will continue to make the optimists afford to put the economy on

the growth path after it bottomed out in april and may has been widely criticized for his handling of the pandemic and abbate sale to any leadership he did not establish early on a control tower for policies dealing with contain it in $1000.00 raked in japan critics say he delayed an effective response to save the tokyo summer olympics which had to be postponed anyway at huge economic cost and businesses have not adapted well to changed working practices when people had to move to teleworking and people had to move to more digital solutions japan was pretty unprepared for that compared to other advanced economies japan's experience is in stark contrast to neighboring south korea which of all the developed nations is predicted to come out best from the pandemic with an economic contraction of less than one percent this yeah sol has been widely applauded for an if. active

early response to the outbreak without shutting down major parts of the economy it's also credited with being nimbler in adapting its economy for a world altered forever by the pandemic problem bride al-jazeera seoul a south korean pastor who took part in a mass anti-government rally at the weekend has tested positive for corona virus young hoon has called on his supporters to defy social distancing and join the protest along with thousands of demonstrators hundreds of recent cases have been linked to the pastor's church in the capital seoul but the government tried to expand the scope of caving in 1900 tests and to the church with unprecedented abuse of authority it was as if the child long child church was the only organization subject to cave in 1000 tests in the whole country the government exaggerated to the number of newly infected cases to spark a nationwide fair i have strong suspicions that this is a gimmick to rest reverend quien hoon

a south korean government has dismissed the charges allegation that it faked a positive test results for all its members said i. didn't we're very concerned because there were rumors among the child on child church members that they would test positive regardless which is impossible because we cannot fabricate test results. tear gas and stun grenades have been for the protesters in sudan's capital on the 1st anniversary of the landmark power sharing deal they say the transition to democracy has been slow following the overthrow of longtime leader or model bashir the transitional government is made up of civilian and military leaders who are slated to govern until democratic elections are held in 2 years that's close out as it was cooper morgan in khartoum just talk us through what's been happening so far. protesters had agreed to take to the streets tossing 1 pm local time up until 430

now we've seen people marching making their way to the office of the prime minister to hand over a memo with their demands they're saying that the 1st year of the 3 year transitional period did not show much in reality they haven't seen my change happening on the ground especially with the issues of accountability now they were supposed to be ending that demonstrations at 4 30 pm local time but that was cut short when police fired stun grenades and tear gas at protesters which led to them moving away from the office of the prime minister and starting to barricade roads that lead to the prime minister's office and setting tires on fire we've also heard from activists and protesters that several neighborhoods have started lighting tires to voice their anger at how the police responded to their demands they are saying that they went there to voice their demands over how the past year have been playing out in this 3 year transitional period. when sudan's military and protest leaders signed a power sharing agreement in august last year millions of sudanese saw it as a new start after months of political turmoil but

a year on mohammed abdul says not enough has changed. because sort of on when we started the revolution it was because of the economy and when the 1st massive fell the goal became justice for those who had lost their lives in this revolution we promise to hold those who kill civilians to account their main demand is not yet means they can be no moving forward if the main demand of those who took to the street is not achieved his friend muhammad says the power sharing agreement between the military and civilian leaders is flawed. and but either the political parties did not have a long term vision they were in a rush to reach a deal they lacked a national spirit and went into negotiations based on the interests of their own respective parties and leaders now it's difficult for them to lead in the interest of the people at heart of the signing of the power sharing agreement known as the constitutional declaration came after months of negotiations following the fall of

president obama and the coalition known as the forces of freedom and change which led anti-government protests demanded a say on how the country would be governed the deal with the army paved the way for the creation of a transitional sovereignty council with the military leaving for the 1st 21 month and a civilian for the remaining 18 months it included articles to ground sudanese more freedom and prioritized ending conflicts in various parts of the country it also included steps towards democratic governance and stipulates that the executive power be granted to the prime minister and his cabinet and the formation of a legislative assembly there's still time to 7 months to go in the transitional period before elections are due but many of the provisions of the power sharing agreement are yet to be implemented a peace deal is it to be signed and there was still no legislative assembly that is supposed to oversee the transitional government. the military has ruled sudan for more than 50 years of the country's 64 years of independence some analysts say it's up to the international community to make sure sudan completes a transition to democracy the story of the constitution declaration was

a settlement to reach a political stability in this country it's been a year since it was signed in the people who protested are still guarding their revolution and the international community is one of the important factors that can make sure that no one hindrances this transition the us has sanctioned people it deems him during the transition the international community should now act as a safeguard to the deal that was signed last year despite how slow the 1st year of transition has been mohamed says this still reason for optimism shabu seat. people have shown that they will have the final say in how they want to be ruled no external or internal force can compete with the will of the people a will that has brought an end to 30 years of president bush years rule those who protested say they'll continue campaigning and filter down becomes a democracy. now the prime minister issued a statement to commemorate the 1st anniversary of this power sharing agreement and his office said beds a lot has been achieved

a lot remains to be achieved as well they admit that they were some shortcomings especially with the issues of justice which people have been demanding for the lives lost during the protests and for the 3rd attack that happened in front of the army headquarters last year so they say that they are working on this and that this is a democracy and this is a transition phase it needs to take some time and it's will be difficult but the prime minister's office says that they will try to make it meanwhile people are still taking to the streets they say that if they don't see things materialize if they don't see their demands being achieved especially with a few months left for the military before they hand over power then they'll continue voicing their their frustration they'll continue voicing their anger and still they see actions are actually being done here morgan thanks very much indeed . it's been confirmed the former king of spain is in the united arab emirates the announcement by the spanish royal household ends 2 weeks of speculation about the whereabouts of juan carlos the 82 year old suddenly left home during the growing scandal about his alleged links to bribes for

hendren has more from chicago it will be the convention that was not it least not in person it was supposed to happen in milwaukee but for the 1st time ever due to the global pandemic the democratic national convention will be virtual. the event that has had democrats meeting in person by the thousands every 4 years even in wartime i say to this great convention tonight and to this great nation of ours i am ready to lead our country is not to beat but what some are calling the democrats' revolution will be televised the convention itself will take place in dozens of locations unified only on screen which might or might not set a precedent for future conventions i have a hard time believing that this will be the death knell for political conventions

the political conventions have amassed over time soon many deferent purposes. this year there will be no traditional balloon drop over a crowd of thousands. no thunderous applause. no delegates lined up behind 57 state and territorial signs pennsylvania a state that will help to reelect barack obama in the inevitable protests. this year and many will likely be posted online it was here in chicago in 1968 that hubert humphrey accepted the democratic nomination for president but what most people remember is anti vietnam protesters clashing with police here in grant park but this time protesters will have no single place to gather the party standard bearer joe biden is expected to accept from a venue in delaware as always there will be big names just on the small screen

there will be a keynote speaker i'm honored to be here tonight a job that can carry an exceptional order to the nomination at the next convention all over the family the united states of america but there's something about all those people cheering together for their. leader something infectious that will be missing this time. really for the baby. but it's also parents are cheering in the rally there a particularly for people who may not know who they want to like so much else in this unique year filled with the presidential impeachment a global pandemic in protests across the u.s. this democratic national convention will look less familiar john hendren elegies era chicago and his main opposition party is calling for a parliamentary investigation into facebook on what's up for allegedly favoring the

ruling b j p the congress party bases its allegation on a wall street journal report it said facebook ignored its own hate speech rules to benefit a legislator known for anti muslim comments facebook says it in forces its hate speech ban without favor to anyone if a g.p. in turn is accusing facebook of censoring what they called nationalist voices so it's a sham a point it is the editor of the news website court's india and she's joining us on skype from new delhi we appreciate your time on thank you very much indeed why have facebook and whatsapp become so in twined with indian politics. so being small india is very important to finish the other country or one brings people nearly half of which are on the internet and what do they believe has close to 250000000 you've been in doubt i want to watch that the numbers are even

higher so anything that speed and was might be doing in india in being an internet based would have a little over major impact. a lot of young in india you would think would anyone suffering getting ready for new or getting information so it would be an allegation the kind of favoritism towards one party or favoritism towards doing that in the morning market or the party are pretty speeches in that fund why do people rely on facebook and what's up as opposed to many of the other indian news media that exist and there are a great many of them. so smart ones in india have there are 2000000 of us not 20 would have been in doubt and recently ordered internet have become more affordable mark phones not become recorded as compared to maybe buying the television that i'm one of those people who have no one and for

a lot of indian facebook is like the forward window to do that so they go with their app in india once that is the most popular messaging app nearly every phone in india has one data being sold when they buy and so it's sort of you know beef into your do you do they call them life into your maybe functioning also you know the the fact that look is going back to the lot of indian regional languages so it's penetration is really high but there are people who do not understand english ringback and still active in the nation on facebook and want that because it is bankable but then the language is there any evidence that the same kind of allegations that the opposition is making about facebook can be made about other predominantly web based news sites in india. oh well then i wouldn't say that there's any proof of anything but there have been allegations. we had our

elections not even during that time but because of all the blood additional border political parties were investing in promotion online you want to get back well they will. all talk about not want to look didn't do what was not so well back well as well as you would for campaigning and back then. what it was not i mean i i don't think there was any we're going to let any of these backbench president think not them but he has to or instagram or all all of them to do need to stand by the media going to be willing to go back to being them as i mentioned before you the editor of court sending you out a news website how concerned are you about the freedom of expression in india given the case that the allegations that are being made against facebook and facebook of course saying that it is obliged to present all sides of an argument

but you need to be talked with since yesterday and i was just asking given the allegations that are being made against facebook i'm facebook's response that it is obliged in a sense to present all sides of an argument respective of the political all region how concerned are you about freedom of speech and within indian media itself. the battle going on when there have been allegations along the route by the about to be the have been sort of trying to. me that is not in the order in being where all of them. any of these. allegations that when they come for instance the 90 just hearing in the us again which faces on so far go on up to st louis watched and inevitably annual 2 of the allegations back were once again in the u.s. the uk true it would mean that they would have a profession for future repercussions on all of the. things that they don't.

want to join article than that one of their top executives the one of the executives of them that's. violation by he just right violations that we just we were damaged in the business prospects in india. that that's a sort of to make for anybody about how. we can buy companies they will try and. be in the good books also government if big book is who has done such things in india or give the indian government has been able to any political party of our mission has been able to do and will. always be there on the way people within the country. it does raise questions about freedom of speech about what do you believe the meeting he wanted being dished out and them wanted him to move in on. it

a canadian mining company but many people there say they want the battle to stay underground despite high gold prices and the prospect of new jobs growing challenge reports. there's nothing to do that would ease my maint and i don't leasing they can do is go away go back to canada pack up and go away cut to doma o'kane is literally sitting on a gold mine all rather what will be a gold mine if a canadian company gets its way to years ago this small protest camp sprang up to oppose it and we are absolutely determined there are people here have said they are prepared to sacrifice their lifes for the land and for the air and for the water here to keep it for their children and for their grandchildren concerned for the gift of nature the spin given to us me for gold what is there is no useful value to humanity in gold shiny metal that's what you get and that's a small bar of real gold. let's see $20000.00 for that's $20000.00 worth
