boston is live for us in minsk and this is really been the question all the way through these protests 1000 as to what is the military going to do. absolutely and this is the 1st time that we actually see signs of military trucks right in the center of minsk parked here behind me at the opposite side of the independence square carrying soldiers it's not clear how many of them are here but what we do know is that yesterday has announced that he will solve the problem as he mentioned as he called it in the next few days a lot of people of course are worried for another crackdown on the same we saw just after the election results was announced and claimed that he had won 80 percent of the vote that it was the riot police who cracked down on the protests but also on random people on the street 7000 people were detained at the time since then police

have been merely absent from the street and also know where soldiers were seen last week we had a large rally here of more than 200000 people very peaceful no police at all only some traffic police well this is a very different atmosphere today here in minsk just one hour before this rally is supposed to start whilst the rally is gearing up are also hearing that there are efforts being made in other countries outside the border as well apparently in lithuania there's a human chain being formed to the border or by the wrist talk to us about that. exactly there are plans for a long time such kilometer long human chain from philly is the capital of way now to the border of balad and also the opposition candidate who has claimed that she has won the elections instead of the president. will be part of this change as as i

believe the president of lithuania as well and high ranking officials well this is definitely something that i hear has been really annoyed about he has of course for the last week increased his rhetoric that foreign forces are provoking the protests here in the belarus that it's not an internal problem but a next problem he showed up at the western border yesterday wearing military clothes also saying that there are nato troop movements so basically all creating some kind of war atmosphere at the border but now he has created the same war kind of atmosphere here right in the middle of minsk so i think you very much indeed i know as the protests get underway we are going to be coming back to you before 9 funds for much the votes and in minsk for us on august your investigation can reveal cyprus has been sending european passports to convicted criminals fugitives and fraudsters a large leak of possible data to our investigative unit reveals serious flaws to

the on so-called golden pos board scheme and now it's generated more than $8000000000.00 for its government and the 1st of our exclusive reports in the cyprus papers here's deborah davies. to become a citizen of the mediterranean island nation of cyprus costs more than $2.00 and a half $1000000.00 among those who've paid that russian businessman at the back of he's already served a prison sentence for extortion and the chinese investment tycoon junk who had been jailed for old. the cyprus papers a large data leak obtained by al-jazeera revealed it to an all 1000 people from 74 countries who bought a cypriot passport. cyprus says it checks applicants have a clean criminal record but we found multiple cases of applicants who wanted by police at the time they was sold cypriot citizenship. was already wanted in

ukraine for large scale theft of public funds in june prosecutors displayed the $6000000.00 they said was offered in bribes to end years of investigation into his energy company. denies any involvement his cypriot passport allows him to live out of ukraine and he didn't return for questioning. vietnamese businessmen pham that blue won't be using his cypriot passport any time soon he was already facing trial for bribery when he bought it see how. we found 30 people linked to criminal activity who've bought so-called golden passports allowing them in their wealth to move freely around the e.u. . the passport scheme of cyprus is a risk to security in europe these passports are for high value in particular for

people from countries which have a record of economic and political criminality passports and citizenship should not be for sale they are not a commodity the cypriot interior minister told us no citizenship was granted in violation of regulations and an independent committee now studies and evaluates previous applications and a new law can strip citizenship from suspected criminals. that should include father and son melech sabet and mehdi ebrahimi they wanted in iran for money laundering and fraud and facing similar charges in canada but many deny all charges . the cyprus papers suggest they're among dozens he may have used their golden passports to evade justice deborah davis al jazeera loved it so far off as a reporter they organized crime and corruption reporting project and she's joining us live on skype from london good to have you with us i understand that you have

worked on similar types of investigations how widespread is this yeah we we a couple years ago we were going to ask roman reporting project we run the code for these 8 was called it was r o y the project long now. several european countries running managing the program similar to the stupid ones had to say that. section $12013.00 the separate program but it never raised. concerns and it was always probably with . the un does that investigation for the 1st time of the strength of number the extent to which. things i've gone mad and that sent in which its program and its. owned him to and he escaped to explore by cream non-school rock the boat people under sentence. and. we heard in the package there

that separate interior minister was saying that no citizenship was granted in violation of regulations so what's the loophole that allows this to happen. but the truth is that there's no really you very much legal and. the people just had to go even best 2000000 euros so purchasing a property or investing in our super company and you know even the council of europe until money laundering agency in atlanta 9000 for thailand i see the problem was inerrantly. foreigner of all. to money laundering and this is also. this is also this comes off so because they're reinstate and having the temerity. to money laundering and the secret program is strictly time to reinstate market

so. to answer your question now there's not really i think this investigation is stupid faith as well as a. cold and that once more to the european union because in essence that what cyprus is sending is a european passport to. a separate possible without all the set of rights that come out with the european states and that wouldn't be so i knew where investors or i networking to be got from or around the war so i think this is probably the time for the european union to turn our alarm into some actions if this has being a legal process as you've been describing and it has been generating a significant amount of money for cyprus and one would assume other countries which offer gold and passports one with think that these countries are going to be fairly slow to try to change things if it is generating so much cash so what can the

european union do to try to tighten things up. i think this is yes it's true what you're saying and or just to put things into context. we can think that substance is trying to 13 when the problem was nonstop sad process raised some 7000000000 euros selling some 4000 passports. and so is for many other countries even in the european union. i guess it is very much as a journey and as a journey was with you don't still be widely reported on the story because i really think that is up to the european union to put a stop but on and that that we are is that the european union has always maintained that citizenship is a matter that is our. nation our countries but. what i what we can

see is that these may be true but then the countries that settling that whole set up brought that is not of the country just of the come to themselves but it's as to do with the will of the other 27 come just as are there a member of the bloc of the european bloc. and yet and for instance that last saturday is just the published a revised legislation it was actually promised in the official guess that last week and i mean the government estimate as many many is maintaining that it is strengthening the. background check money laundering jackson will be up but if you read the new revised legislation you'll see floor each step and with that that's me a couple of steps backward there are rules made so praised us but it's going to be politically exposed to people whereas before they are a person that our and our political position in the last 5 years was not able to

live now this time has been reduced to one with. a just because parents consistently so far so goes also with their criminal. criminal record check because it was required our criminal record from both the country of origin and the country arrest and now is required to clean clean and record just from the country of the permanent residence so our say was the action that they are saying here and has to all of this out of far off a we appreciate it thank you very much indeed thank you. thank you. well more findings from the cyprus papers will be revealed throughout the week here and on al-jazeera dot com in part 2 of our investigation we're going to be looking at how cyber sold passports to politicians and senior officials is seen by the e.u. as high risk for money laundering and corruption that's a monday from 10 g.m.t. here on al-jazeera. company more ahead on the news hour including find out why the

parliament building on fire let's go live to dorsetshire body in baghdad i understand the protesters have changed the deadline for the governor abbas are to leave tell us more about that. yes rob initially the protesters on friday evening had given the officials 72 hours to resign but they changed that late on saturday and they said they were at that line is that 48 hours which expires at 13 j m t today on sunday this led to the prime minister to go to soon as he returned from the united states this all started because a number of activists have been killed during the past 2 weeks and most of them have been taking place the killings have taken place in the southern city of basra this is something the local population has said is very very worrying and they want people to be held accountable and the prime minister when he landed in basra had a very stern warning for the people responsible for these killings let's listen to what he had to say there is obviously. would be called but again god willing

this is a message to all criminals and killers this is a new government that is working to establish the prerequisites of security it aims to establish security and prevent crime i'd like to tell everyone who carries a weapon contrary to the government they would skip punishment on the killers will be brought to justice very soon i'd like to tell the criminals who us in $87.00 hashem that scene and the young female doctor that your blog will be a title for justice the challenge is big i was in a meeting with the military commanders and i told them that bustle should be secure and we will challenge all. ok this is all happening of course in the south of the country but to the north east to the north of baghdad we're seeing that u.s. led coalition troops are leaving the military base now that is significant talk us through what's going on there. well this is the 1st time since the u.s.

led invasion here in 2003 that this camp has now gone back to beef in control of iraqi hands that the u.s. troops that were stationed there about 2000 of them are now on their way out of the officials have handed over a $347000000.00 facility back to the iraqi officials this is where most of the counterterrorism units were being trained and those fighting i saw in the country have received training not only from u.s. troops but also from troops from new zealand and australia were also part of the training that was ongoing at this camp this facility is one of the largest ones and this handover is significant because as part of that required members of parliament they want the u.s. troops leave the country there's about 50 to 100 u.s. troops still in iraq and with this handover is just another step another step that the iraqi people are closer to gaining control of their country in this military base is a significant step towards achieving that dorsetshire bara talking to us live from

baghdad also thank you very much indeed india has now confirmed more than 3000000 cases of corona virus after recording over 70 photos and new infections in a single day the country's leading the world in the numbers of new cases covered 19 and spreading through rural areas across the country especially in the north india has the 3rd highest number of infections after the united states and brazil it is about 4 on the hundreds more from new delhi. we are seeing the virus move from the really big policy incentives like mumbai is no longer the voice defected spot in maharashtra delhi is no longer you know one of the worst affected cities and we are really seeing it move from places like mumbai delhi chennai to more rural areas and that is the concern as the virus moves from cities that have the best health care infrastructure in the country to parts of the country that have very poor public health care infrastructure now another problem with the

numbers is not just that india is the 3rd worst affected country in the world it is that the logical surveys that are being done around the country show that the real number of cases is no many times the confirmed number nonetheless the government when ever they talk about the situation in the country they are always positive we heard from the health minister on saturday and he spoke about how he actually said india has the best recovery rate in the world that 75 percent of people who had coronavirus in india have recovered and he said that only 1.8 percent of people who've had coronavirus have actually died from from the virus the rest currently have it but again the government is often quotes these numbers but the problem with them is that the syria logical survey showed a different picture 2 of the results of these surveys who released over the past week and they showed that one of them in the city of poor may that's in maharashtra that more than 50 percent of population of 6000000 people have antibodies so just

in one city alone more than 3000000 people the survey would suggest have had coronavirus so have korea has reported its biggest drives in corona virus infections since march with nearly 400 new cases sunday's jump marks the 3rd day they've crossed 300 most of the new infections come from the densely populated seoul area but the government has banned large scale gatherings and shut nightclubs and churches. in peru at least 13 people have been killed in a stampede during an illegal party at a nightclub in the capital lima more than $120.00 people tried to flee the thomas arrest the bar club as it was raided by police the party violated restrictions imposed to curb the spread of corona virus through his latin america's 2nd worst affected country lebanon's now 82nd day of a 2 week partial lockdown after a surge in corona virus infections the health minister is warning that hospitals are being overwhelmed by the number of cases lebanon's health systems under serious

strain after 6 hospitals and 20 clinics were damaged by a huge blast in beirut nearly 3 weeks ago stephanie decker is joining us live from beirut this is clearly this climb in covert cases is clearly not what beirut needed right now how people coping. it is the last thing needed right now the hospitals are at a breaking point they already were you know before the crisis before the explosion because of the economic crisis and then you had a rush of thousands of people going to the hospitals injured severe injuries because of i have to stop that blast and then now you have the corona cases on the rise so want to talk more about the specifics of god and what it really means we're going to be joined by dr i far she's a doctor of infectious diseases tell me a little bit about what strain you're under our situation and certainly in for doctor and so the situation at the moment this quite dire because you know off to

the blast the blast was just a couple of weeks ago and not only did we have a lot of injured people but also we have problems with the building per se so we have doors that are broken windows etc and then all of the aircraft the corona places that are on the rise that need special room special security equipment. you know for the preventive measures so the economic strain is quite dire and we're seeing it on the patients that have a hard time paying for the care that have a hard time in far having hard time finding places for the care especially the intensive care units so how serious is it that would you say i mean how it people are saying that you cannot take is is it a break in for you what needs to be done and it is at the breaking point because we are at the beginning of our epidemic and this is just we're just in the beginning where the 1st few weeks and we expected to get worst within the very near future within the next couple of week is going to get much much worse and i don't think we

are ready for that reading in term a little bit you were talking about the psychological impact you've been seeing on people what's happened here in terms of the gloss the economic crisis now with coronado have you seen patients come to you so people are demographer demoralized people are. sad people. said that people are. tired people are very very very tired and will this coming all politic i'm all in hi i'm a lock bomb people don't awful to need people don't have money. so it's a very difficult situation we're out and we're trying really we're trying our best to do whatever we can and the country the w. chill everybody is mobilizing to get more places to get more. ventilators p.b.'s masks all of this is difficult to get by a group of have to buy them on the black market so where we need the international to be able to pull. how and just briefly how long do you see this last i mean that

we're seeing around 600 cases a day this is the highest number that lebanon has seen right throughout the pandemic the numbers are starting to increase before the last why is it become so since it's such an issue there i think i think the blast exponentially raised everything because people have no places to do a proper i mean we have owned these houses that are broken. and more than a 1000 houses that are broken where people are going to be i mean you just have to go to your lair relative to your neighbors etc how are you going to do so isolation if you don't know where to isolates plastic canonical situation is really taking a lot of strains on the things that have to be close now are you going to make the everything flow people tell me i prefer to die of hunger than to die or not to die of hunger than to die for to die of cold that i'm not the hunger so you end up in these very difficult situations thank you very much i don't think we can stress enough how difficult the situation is here in lebanon and when we've been speaking

to and these are people go over the generation who force in the civil war who are no stranger to death 2 wars 2 explosions to political assassinations to protest in the streets they will tell you that this is the worst time there is no money people have lost 80 percent of their life savings they cannot afford. to patch up their destroyed homes as you heard they can't even afford health care so very difficult times and as you heard from the doctor there are certain when it comes to the could be only just beginning they are expecting the numbers to increase even more stephanie decker bring us up to date from beirut stephanie thank you very much antigovernment protesters are gathering in thailand following weeks of student led rallies calling for elections and a new constitution that's despite a state of emergency to control the spread of coronavirus and the recent crackdown on government critics on thursday police arrested 8 more activists including 2 popular rappers for defying a ban on public gatherings when hate has more. calling for political change is

coming at a cost for many protest leaders in thailand here in the northern city of lumpur $2.00 students were among the latest to be ordered to report to police to hate charges against them for their part in organizing a peaceful rally. for most of our but i feel like thailand is becoming a country that takes away people's rights it's honestly shocking what's concerning about this situation is the fact that a country that claims to be democratic is trying to stop students expressing their opinions. the student led anti-government movement has spread to many parts of the country including the north and northeast traditional strongholds of a group known as the red shirts that staged large rallies in the capital bangkok in 2010 that ended in a violent military crackdown that been largely quiet in recent years but as the momentum of the current protests grows red shirt leaders in the north of fixing their loudspeakers and entering the fray panchen with the direction students are

going these protests have more power than before because everyone is coming together it isn't just red shirts or adults or people who follow politics or. the protesters want a different more democratic political system from the one that allowed the army general who led a coup in 2014 to stay on as prime minister after last year's election but they also want to change an economic system that has helped to make thailand one of the most unequal countries in the world which is being highlighted and made worse by the corona virus pandemic the city of chiang mai in the north relies heavily on international tourism and is being hit harder than most the protest movement is already showing signs of spreading way beyond just students and the city probably in kept the threat that poses to the government most people here have never supported this government and now many are hurting economically. despite all the arrests and charges against proteus leaders they say they won't be deterred and.

we'll continue fighting for a better future. for him and i just had a hung fear can only be used once or twice there's been many cases where they tried to report the protestors but at the end of the day after everyone is over that fear it becomes a catalyst to come out more and go against the government. apart from arresting and charging lead is the government and police haven't tried to stop the protests yet but as the movement grows and becomes more diverse intensifying the pressure on the government that approach may change soon wayne hay al jazeera chiang mai thailand protests have broken out in the u.s. state of louisiana after police shot and killed a black man on friday. was carrying a knife and had been trying to enter a convenience store in the city of lafayette video appears to show a pattern walking away from officers who then shot the 31 year old off

storms before and we're now tracking 2 more coming in yeah the season's getting worse and worse we're talking about 2 tropical storms one just going to puerto rico dozens in the gulf of mexico heading for the u.s. coast they might both end up in the gulf at the same time in actual fact so let's study them briefly individually lors the one that went across fredricka is now currently over his van euro and marco is further north so lower a 1st bit of a closer look if it went over overnight so pictures are in the dark more or less now is not a hurricane because i defined by they were instructed to tropical storm so there was damage and there was a lot of rain that would have been some storm damage on the coast but it could have been so much worse as it was the current risk is a say his plan your haiti most likely i would think and the north coast may be getting worst in the science coast the movement very quick though so that you get a lot of rain the potential for 300 millimeters it falls and then the things gone on so you don't get the persistence that might produce the worst conditions celtic

insurance after learning her payment had arrived a month late after it was mailed her story is sadly one of many being heard across the nation official post office data. these new documents show that the delays we have all heard about are actually far worse for their part republicans say it's not a problem nancy pelosi goes politically postal and that is the reason we are here today for a phony political theater to once again bash president charm just in time for this sunday talk shows and the republican national convention the bill is passed so now the house has voted to reverse joyce changes and give the post office $25000000000.00 the reason this is of such a political importance is because of the upcoming election because of the pandemic for the 1st time more than 3 quarters of americans will be allowed to vote by mail

but the post office is warning the vast majority of states that they cannot guarantee that those ballots will be delivered in time to be counted the republican leader of the senate says he is unlikely to take up the bill the house leader thinks that will change they'll be hearing from their constituents because this hits home not receiving your mail on a timely fashion hits home not receiving your prescription is actually for veterans hits home in a way that is harmful to our country as well there's more on the line than missed this could call into question whether they can deliver a free and fair election political gain al-jazeera washington. negotiators from the west african regional bloc ecowas are due to meet the un security council representatives in mali to find a way forward after tuesday's military coup the delegation led by former nigerian leader good luck jonathan arrived in bamako on saturday the group has met manny's

his cabinet who are still and military detention at the military base so this new development could signify a breakthrough somehow causes insisting that a bribe. and democracy be restored immediately and the cool porters are saying that they did not overthrow it right book and cater he simply resigned and there's no way he's going to go back to that office and frankly speaking they also have the us have some significant support from mali and look at the demonstrations have seen over the past 2 days in support of the military coup now that course has put in place some sanctions against mali although they lit a relaxed and exempted food and medicines from the sanctions imposed on mali so light and borders have been closed between mali and its neighbors as well as financial inflows from neighboring countries have also been stopped so mali has

also been suspended from decision making bodies of the organization the economic community of west african states hopefully this could turn out to be the breakthrough both sides are looking forward to but the question is will they a return to bramble because it created to be presidential my ssion on the hill that's the bill as i said to get more information about that meeting that you say is going to be held later on today obviously we're going to be checking back in with you but for now i'm a dangerous we appreciate it thank you. the united nations is urging the warring sides in yemen to work together to prevent a potential environmental disaster a stricken oil tanker moored near the city of how data is slowly making more than a 1000000 barrels of oil and as mohamed a lot of reports there are fears it could all spill into the red sea by next month . up with turn show environmental disaster and the pristine waters of the red sea this oil tanker has been murdered here off yemen's recent cost about 8 kilometers

now laying the foundations as to what hygiene car service could and should look like the future of order to reduce precisely these moments of risk. the experiment called restart 19 is studying the movement of the food and the flight of the tourney airborne particles that can carry the virus. the background is something called the philadelphia bond rally of 1980 s. was a big festival that happened during the spanish. 1918 and which was followed 3 days later by an enormous break in the city of philadelphia edging the covert one team it's become apparent that connection is simple and we've had many examples of large events that occurred during the course and it's been quite difficult to. single large of a. any difference in that in the parameters of the spread of virus and. results are

runner up against german champions by in munich in the final in lisbon for pearce she is their 1st time in the final of this competition and strike a cannon bappa says he's determined to make history by winning france's 1st champions league title in 27 years the last french club to claim the trophy was a limp it must say in 190321 you are a forms a formidable strike force with brazilian neymar what i demoed see new video has you since i joined in 2017 we've experienced a number of disappointments and now we're in the final and that shows i didn't give up and nor did we give up as a team it would be a real reward if we could win the competition with the fridge side that was my mission when i joined by a 5 time champions and have the highest scoring player in the competition in their ranks in robert leaven dusky who has 15 goals so far one of the germans key players in defense is also getting motivation from bias history of success in the

competition felons even a. kind inclusive and there is no bigger title to win at club level than the champions league those were the games you'd look forward to watching as a child of course it is a shame that the final will happen without the fans but nonetheless it is a huge chance that we want to take the previous bond generation needed 2 shots at winning it we want to do it in one shot. so joining us now from lisbon is the a.p.'s global sports correspondent rob paris who's been covering the tournament of the french champions will go up against the german champions so who would the title mean more to do you think. well for parasang been waiting throughout their entire 50 year history to lift the european cup particularly for the last decade or so all this investment has been building towards this moment now they reach the champions league final for the 1st time a white p.s.g. pate a world record 222000000 euros for neymar it's why they spent 145000000

euros on arm they've completely dominated the french scene now it's time for them to conquer europe as for by munich they got so many disappointments in recent years in the champions league losing 4 semifinals now is their chance to lift the cup for the 6th time in the 1st time in 7 years and what a moment it would be for robert dusky to crown a season when he scored already an incredible $55.00 goals and it's been the 1st final it will be the 1st final in fact without fans but overall how has this unusual tournament format gone down. well it's been highly unusual the fact that we've had the single games rather than 2 legged for so far in the us and 75 miles is perhaps made them less cagey affairs that being more exciting teams of really have to go for it just think back just less than 2 weeks ago the stadium behind me here p.s.g. were so close to going out to the tournament they beat sense at the lancer had to equalize the 90th minute and then grab the winner perhaps if we'd had the original

format we would have had a more sort of tense affair trying to push it into a 2nd leg but of course it was this was all a forced by the pandemic and the fact that even managed to complete this competition is something that didn't seem possible just a few months ago personally i found it more exciting do you think that you a fair may continue to go ahead with a mini tournament feel like this in the future. well in the last couple of hours i've had a chance to sit down with the way for president alexander schaeffer and what is revealed is he's very keen on retaining some elements of this format if possible he said he will have to sit down with the various stakeholders across football to get their views but he says the feedback he's had is it's very exciting and he believes that even though you might reduce the number of games by having single legs from 2 legs the value of them could go up i think it's very hard to hold a final a competition like this in a single city with fans due to all the rival factions gathering but maybe we could

see a final 4 format gathering in one week and create that sort of super bowl style buzz for a city or a single country all right rob thank you very much from lisbon there. david beckham's m.l.s. team into miami have finally got their 1st win of the season and they did it on their home debut at their stadium in fort lauderdale florida up against state rivals will learn their city elim have zana schooled twice and rudolph a bizarre also starred as they came out $32.00 winners the result finally snaps a 5 game losing streak which was the worst ever start by an m.l.s. expansion team but they have been boosted certainly by the british broke civilian whites dreams of winning the heavyweight world title are in tatters after shocking defeat he had not down russia's alexander preferred kim twice during their fights behind closed doors in london but 40 year old pervert kim got up and ended it with a huge upper cut is the 2nd defeat of white's career and it means he now won't get
