skype from aberdeen good to have you with us what do you make of what's happened in mali particularly the timing of it why now. right so the timing we could say is a perfect storm or are in africa and the nominees say if you don't know where you come from you will know where you are when you were in the way we're going to so i think we should start this by focusing on where has money come from the key thing you want to look at. trying to change the climate change seeing arable land and modern and i think the u.n. reckons that on the bottom 98 percent of mali is certain by does it 1000 percent. then you have a population that has doubled since 20012000 miley i just want 10000000 people none is too intimate so people are competing over

a resource that is increasingly decreasing that is the foundation all over t.v. and everything looks do you have the political divide in mali you have people who are looking for in the state that is traditionally based the average of those looking for a state that's economic base and then you have another group that is looking for a state that is new clinical. based so you have this the sequel problems and i do you are not to go from us and everything ours is a consequence of this divide and one of the this is war has a certain sort of as what does or not it took the party to cool a situation that has now turned to a it could attack so the key thing i want to make is that if you don't have any solution that that is dealing with this for the men to differences. and i do you are not you go then what do you do when he just says stop for the next crisis is

giving given that what are the chances of this ultimately improving the lot of think the average person in mali when it when you consider what has happened in sudan for example that bad hasn't yet led to any fundamental changes to improve the lives of ordinary people. yes so in terms of fundamental change in the weeds what did powers that be do with this opportunity the opportunity to see in the ring to everyone that in my hands i'm not happy the army is just coming out to do more to protest as were demanding that we're just as we're asking for it to have to resign for a very long time what the army has done or the coolie does have done has forced. into so does is an opportunity to take

a step back and say what do we didn't do from here so france and the air corps the u.n. and the e.u. would have come out and say well we don't want an on constitutional change did you see on constitutional activity going on in africa across africa in nursing could be why are you have a president seeking a 3rd term the u.n. is not saying anything about you good to deni conakry not nerve awful model each their president is seeking a 3rd term so the constitutional argument is not really you're not human that people are seeing me are tired what did you do from here so what any analysts will be seeing is what are the concrete solutions to deal with the form demento problems sorted we don't have a repeat of this in shoes and this each use happened in 2002 of 2013 nothing was done serious and we could get concoct something right now that we

would wait for another 7 years and the whole thing would repeat itself so this is an opportunity to be needed a step back and think and job or do good consequences to whatever happens and right now always good to talk him out of any thanks dave but i look and say that in evidence. bill russo opposition presidential candidates for atlanta took on of skylab has called on the european union not to recognize the result of the recent presidential vote which she says was fortunate it's ahead of an emergency e.u. summit of the leaders they'll discuss the election and the violent crackdown on protesters who are demanding that president alexander lukashenko step down they expect to announce expanded sanctions against fishelson responsible for the violence people who went out to defend they reward in this 3 it's over they say it is all the crossbill arose where brutally beaten imprisoned and tortured by

the regime this privilege on to power mr center has lost all their legitimacy in the eyes of our nation and the wall on the off year all i call in here to support the. look at shanker has threatened to take strong measures against opposition leaders who set up a council to coordinate a peaceful transition of power is also accusing nato of ill intent and of increasing its military presence along his country's border which nato denies it. we consider it clearly an attempt to seize power with all the attendant consequences western countries including some leaders are not given where where the bit loose is located however they make some statements to prove that the president was right disgusted with the defense ministry thank god we have reacted and brought

to come back to the combat units of our army and the western borders today we have problems from both inside and outside. that good actions are completely coordinated and it is not even the peak of the eventful development certain way but we understand in which direction. let's go live. to serious step by step a very different mood in the capital what's happening today. absolutely different mood here in the men's very eerie mood i would say after the authorities sort of disappeared from the streets for the last couple of days they're now back and they seem to be back in control only or today a group of protesters was dispersed dispersed by the fear to riot police called on all man has also been held responsible for this very violent crackdown last week when lots of detainees were badly beaten and tortured they disappeared from the

streets for quite a while there were your 4 rika moods and crowds on the streets in the last couple of days now that all has gone riot police is back it's also interesting there was an interview with an employee of a television the state television was also on strike this woman said that she wasn't allowed to enter the building this morning because she joined this strike and she said her legs and also the place of other of her striking colleagues was now replaced by russian specialists we can't confirm any of this but what we also know is that there are reports of a russian plane normally used by the head of the f.s.b. to state secret service in the moscow landing here in minsk and also departing again so there might be some involvement from moscow at the moment which is strengthening look at shankar surface mission who is still clinging on to power and

what's the situation in the rest of the country. there are still reports of some mining companies where are some people still on strike but it has been increasingly difficult for workers to continue their strike because there has been a threat from the ministries as well that every striking worker would lose their job and also the income so that's become increasingly difficult of course because they're also depending on their salaries it's also not clear what the coronation council this is a council that's been established by the opposition which was supposed to hold its 1st meeting today to sort of discuss a trans national government if this meeting is still going to happen because directly threaten to take strong measures against these people and he said this the council is an attempt of a coup d'etat so he will do everything possible to prevent them from establishing

sort of an alternative government so it's it's a very different situation altogether here in the compared to the last couple of days i was there a steadfast reporting live from many thanks indeed weather update next here on ars 0 then a search for peace be on mars government of armed groups are in talks to bring an end to decades of conflict. and 400000 jobs lost and counting the lost of south africa and ever return recover from the coronavirus. hello we've got the usual rush of showers across much of southeast asia further north you can see this dock of your cloud that's making its way up across the south china seas into southern parts of china that is the remnants of tropical storm

the us democratic party has formally nominated joe biden as its presidential nominee it happened on the 2nd night of its national convention which is being held virtually because of the pandemic alan fischer reports from washington. this was the moment joe biden officially became the democratic party's nominee for the president of the united states thank you very very much from the bottom my heart thank you all means the world in me and my family and i'll see you on thursday thank you thank you thank you rhode island the oceans stay in a traditional convention the roll call is an important set piece and doing it virtually this time they made it slick and polished show that this was a night to show the past and the future there were contributions from former president jimmy carter. former presidential nominee john kerry and congresswoman

alexandra cortez an influential figure on the progressive wing of the party and considered a rising star it was also an appearance from bill clinton the former president who's lit up conventions in the past given just 5 minutes this time but still getting his message across at a time like this the oval office should be a command center instead it's a storm center is only chaos it's 20 years since bill clinton was president on wednesday he'll celebrate his 74th her face and he'll still be 3 years younger than the current democratic presidential nominee former secretary of state colin powell was just one of a number of republicans who also support giving his endorsement to joe biden the values i learned growing up in the south bronx and serving in uniform were the same values that joe biden's parents instilled in him in scranton pennsylvania i support

joe biden for the presidency of the united states because those values still define him i have always loved the sound keynote on tuesday was the nominee's wife jill biden who lined what she thought her husband would deliver for america leadership to really of matter what our nation will be. that's joe. he and common law will work as hard a you do every day to make this nation better wednesday will see vice presidential pick deliver her speech that role is normally to attack the opposition to hit them and hit them hard and this type will be no different alan fischer al-jazeera washington. palestinian president mahmoud abbas has described the normalization deal between israel and the u.a.e. as nonsense about also accused the gulf arab states of turning its back on palestinians as part of the u.s. brokered agreement israel will suspend but not scrap plans to annex palestinian

territory that govern. they have turned their backs on everything the rights of the palestinian people the palestinian state the 2 state solution and holy jerusalem which has been annexed and they announced its annexation they have turned their backs on all of this and came to tell us that they came to suspend annexation for us palestinians and we should be happy about it this is deception it is rejected and it is a stab in the back of the palestinian cause another round of negotiations is underway between the government and armed groups in myanmar more than 20 groups are demanding independence it's resulted in hundreds of thousands of people being forced to flee their homes 3 rounds of negotiations have been held so far many though staying away from the current negotiations to use of the coronavirus pandemic wayne hay is monitoring developments from chiang mai in neighboring thailand. well it's been more than 2 years now since the last union peace

conference and you know i think everyone would agree that progress through those 3 peace conferences so far has not been satisfactory of course it's a long and complicated process involving many different groups and actors and no one expected a quick fix but then we come to this year and of course we've had delays because of coronavirus attending this 4th round of formal peace talks the numbers of delegates there will be limited because of coronavirus again the talks being held in myanmar capital naypyidaw and then we have 7 ethnic organizations who haven't signed that nationwide cease fire agreement they were invited to attend the talks still they have declined that invitation partly again because of concern about the spread of coronavirus but also as a show of solidarity to their ally the our economy as mentioned the our economy involved in some very heavy fighting in the west of the country in rakhine state also in parts of chin state our economy was not invited to the talks because the

government declared it a terrorist organization so i think this round of peace talks will be seen as largely symbolic procedural in substance and a way for the government to go into that election in november armed with the knowledge or the weapon if you like that they can go to their people and say look we've had 4 rounds of formal peace talks we've got the process back on track and we are the ones who can carry it forward south korea has reported its highest number of new coronavirus inspections since march nearly $300.00 cases were detected in the latest tally the restrictions on gatherings of imposed and saw and surrounding areas hundreds of recent infections have been linked to a church from seoul mcbride reports. it is lead to your thirty's to reintroduce the kind of social distancing that had been in place back at phase

2 on a 3 level scale this means for example that a number of venue's which had been open and now told to close again public venues like museums galleries other high risk establishment like nightclubs buffet style restaurants they are having to close also restrictions on gatherings be they indoor gatherings or outdoor gatherings we've recently just seen spectators being allowed back to watch for example baseball matches in small numbers well those baseball matches will still go on but without spectators most significantly perhaps are the restrictions on congregations of churches in the metropolitan areas services will now have to be held online and this is because of course there is real concern about this one particular controversial church here in the sole metropolitan area where where more than 500 of these now kate cases have been linked back to so there's a real concern especially about the cooperation of this church it is led by

a controversial pastor who claims that 19 is all a conspiracy from north korea to get his congregation so there's been a lack of cooperation and the concern is of course that this all is happening in the northwest corner of the country the greater metropolitan area around seoul than in show which is home to hearth of south korea's 50000000 plus population so there's a real concern that they have to get this under control latin america is one of the worst hit regions in the world by the coronavirus zimmer's john homan reports now from mexico city the outbreak in the region is causing other problems. whereas in europe for example they seem to sort of nosedive after a certain point when authorities sort of got to grips with them in latin america it's really been for some countries just a 6 month process like in mexico actually in which continually the authorities have said we're about to go down we're about to go down and it hasn't really happened

and the regional head of the world health organization that she come out and said that that's caused quite a lot of mental anguish that they haven't seen before to various people to lots of people in this region in latin america she will say said that it definitely had an impact on domestic abuse in the region helplines in colombia in mexico in argentina . been experiencing an increasing calls we were finding that just when this 1st began in april when we took 3 heads of cool centers and they said well it's already gone up by 25 percent we also heard from peru just a couple of weeks ago that there were 900 women move the 900 women that have gone missing many of those 2 thirds of those miners children just girls prudes had that problem before mexico has had a problem with domestic violence before this obviously and other countries in latin america are also but this really isn't helping the fact that women a lot top or
