police have detained at least $125.00 people in the capital minsk some of those early arrests were in and around independence square now reports from the scene say security forces cordoned off the area and pushed back peaceful demonstrators president alexander lucas and his rivals fight on a dick out of sky says it's more evidence the regime is morally bankrupt now she remains in lithuania where she fled after the election but about it smith is also in neighboring with u.n. and is following all the developments from the capital vilnius. sundaes alexander lukashenko 66th birthday this is not the president he was hoping for. were not a herd of cattle or cowards were belorussians that sometimes i was. it's 3 weeks since the disputed election the balor russian president claimed to win with 80 percent of the vote no one here believes that and they've been protesting against luka shankar ever since. i'm here to express my

disapproval at the rigging of the elections and to be in solidarity with everyone he was detained i am for peace i am for belarus but. the protesters have been peaceful from the outset and after initially violently attempting to suppress earlier demonstrations the security forces have taken a step back in the past couple of weeks. some protesters are being detained more than $125.00 according to the government and many journalists of have their accreditation revoked that was on sunday what witnesses described as the largest deployment so far of security forces who blocked off access to some main street. one of the country's largest mobile phone operators said it had reduced mobile internet capacity of the government's request. and tanks roll down the road close to luka shank his residence in minsk as protesters headed there

. but there seems to be no indication the momentum has gone out of these demonstrations and luka shanker looks no more likely to loosen its grip on the presidency after $26.00 weeks. the kremlin says about amir putin called alexander lukashenko on sunday to wish him happy birthday to man of agree to meet in moscow in the next few weeks a suggestion of the kremlin's willingness to buck russia's president as the european union prepares to impose new sanctions. burnet smith al-jazeera vilnius. well valery except color is a better russian opposition leader who is a neighboring poland he believes that he has underestimated the movement against him. everybody understand and the stand very well that look at santa maximum got 'd. 10 percent of the public support this was the real result of the presidential elections but in fact you wrote him.

he declared that he had to go out 80 percent of the public vote which was absolutely not true well bill rousseau will never be the same that's very obvious. now. post from different sides i mean the look us encourage him you know look at seneca faces the opposition 1st of all from the side of the bill was publica society a civil society 2nd from the west that didn't recognize their results of the presidential elections and the 3rd also is russia because now kremlin understands very well that lucas and can doesn't have the support to incite his own country and i think that he is a kind of isolated from belarus itself or ability to speak pull itself from the

western countries and from russia who publicly support him but in fact understand very well the real support of the question going side bill are respectful and they will treat him respectfully. now all options are on the table to resolve protests of a racial injustice in the u.s. city of portland that's according to acting homeland security secretary chad wolf one person was shot dead during saturday night's violence between rival groups there been demonstrations in portland every night now for more than 3 months since police killed george floyd in minneapolis president on trump is now also expected to visit the city of can no shot in wisconsin on tuesday that's where jacob blake was shot in the back 7 times by police nearly a week ago leaving him paralyzed thousands of people took part in another peaceful protest there but more than a 1000 national guard members are on standby after early on rest in the city of

moore all of this let's bring in our castro she's monitoring everything for us from maryland heidi it does feel like tension is escalating across the country let's start with what happened in portland clearly a community very much divided still lots of questions about just what happened to. that's right and maybe in an hour's time or so we will have some answers to those questions that's when we'll expect it press conference from the mayor of port one of the chief of police the major question is who pulled the trigger here what we do know is that the victim was a white man who was affiliated with the far right portland group now in video shot by a bystander we see him walking toward a parking garage we hear gunshots and we see him fall police say he was pronounced dead at the scene there but we don't know who pulled the trigger obviously the call the answer to that question could inflame tensions on either side because we know

of what led up at least to that moment this was the 3rd consecutive saturday that black lives matter protesters clashed with pro trump supporters now yesterday on this saturday a caravan of some 600 vehicles carrying supporters had entered into portland carrying trump 2020 banners banners that also supported police officers and they were blocked in some areas by the black lives matter protesters who tried to stop them from entering downtown portland that resulted in some skirmishes there were this fights apparently some of the approach from supporters had paintball guns that they were shooting pain falls at the protesters the protesters were throwing objects there were certain there were several arrests but what exactly led to those pivotal moments before the death of this white man affiliated with the right wing group we still did not know the answer to that president trump on twitter this

morning tweeted a video that approach from supporters entering entering portland calling them great patriots and he has in the past many times used portland as a symbol of what he calls a city in chaos led by democrats who he's. he says are unable to contain the rage that's erupted across the country it was the 95th day of protesting in portland by black lives matter pro protesters ever since the killing of george floyd in minneapolis and trump has been floating the idea of putting federal officers and national guard into portland to contain what he calls this violence that true he attempted to do that actually back in july when unmarked federal officers were deployed to the streets of portland they took people in for questioning without identifying who they were and rather than quell the situation

portland's mayor has said that actually made it worse by attracting more counter protesters to the city and now the chief of staff of president trunk mark meadows was speaking with the press this morning saying all options are back on the table as far as having the federal government intervene we've had over 200 and are curious and they're not peaceful protesters these are people that every single night conduct violent acts in and it is in democrat cities you know you want to talk about donald trump's. america most of donald trump's america is peaceful it is a a democrat led city important that we're talking about this morning. heidi trump's chief of staff there basically laying out their strategy of really how they plan to deal with all of this ahead of the november election it seems this announcement now of the president's upcoming visit to can osha how's that going over.

that's right on to say president trump his plan is to visit can no show in person where on his agenda are meetings with law enforcement officials but conspicuously missing from that agenda is a meeting with jacob lake who is the black man who was shot by police officers at the beginning of this very long week he remains paralyzed and trump is getting a lot of heat from lives matter protesters who are calling him out for not reaching out to set up a meeting with jacob lake and with his family and of course that was only the beginning of the of the violence that we're seeing in can no shock because soon after the shooting of jacob blake there were 2 black lies matter protesters who were shot and killed in the aftermath now the man charged in those shootings is a white teenager who apparently was part of a militia group that had gone into konoha to try to contain the protesters so so

many loose ends here obviously we're expecting press conferences from kenosha as well meanwhile president trump was on a tweet storm this morning and one of those tweets also focused on this young man who has been charged with the can no shooting trump reach we did a follower who said who called that young man a good example of why they voted for trump trump has not clarified what he meant by that but again he will be meeting with law enforcement on tuesday he will not be meeting with a victim of the police shooting or the victim's family all the media watching that as it very closely and all the reaction from that high desert caster there following all of those developments for us from maryland thank you heidi. well moving across the board and activists in montreal have pulled down a statue of canada's 1st prime minister after calling for the abolition of the police system the head of the statue of john mcdonald has broken off when it hit the ground take a look historians say mcdonald's policies in the late 19th century included the

creation of a residential school system that forcibly removed indigenous children from their homes and sent them to state from boarding schools many of them were abused some died. while there was plenty more ahead for you this news hour including lives destroyed homes abandoned thousands flee off to heavy flooding in kenya. and hundreds of migrants are brought to the italian island of lampedusa after being rescued at sea. and then sport coronavirus hits the u.s. open tennis just a day before players use a stop in new york we'll have those details for you. counsel has announced a series of labor reforms the 1st time it's set a monthly minimum wage for employees regardless of nationality or type of job it also gives workers the ability to change employers without needing

a sponsor's approval imran khan has the story. after a 2 year long consultation process with the u.n. body the international labor organization the state of cattle has announced sweeping reforms in the way employees are treated in the gulf state some of the changes include the introduction of a minimum wage of $1800.00 tare rails around $500.00 u.s. dollars a month which includes an allowance for food and accommodation there's also freedom of movement between employers without the need for what's called a no objections difficult the law applies to all x. party employees in the country including domestic workers employed by individual families there's concern that previous laws in place to protect workers haven't been in force properly local media have reported that some construction workers were paid for months at the start of the coded in $1000.00 pandemic the international labor organization says the new laws will be enforced and they will be more outlets to resolve labor disputes. we had to jointly with the state of

qatar study its impact its paper ations and ensured that it's beneficial for all including good workers the private sector and the country so a lot of ground work had to be done also the legislative changes the actual law to be prepared but also when it comes to the minimum wage there actually has to be a study done on the needs of the workers councils largest export populations come from bangladesh pakistan the philippines and india the government says that the minimum wage will be beneficial to both employees and the country this is part of it bigger picture there reforms 1st laws are very good these 2 new 2 major announcements today are fantastic for the country but implementation is equally as important so we will be working with the government here. ensuring that the labor inspectors are fully aware of the legislation making sure that their workers are aware making sure that their enterprises companies the private sector

is aware council is hoping these reforms will also address concerns in the run up to the football world cup in 2022 human rights groups have highlighted various issues about workers in the country that include deaths on construction sites and inadequate living conditions in the last 6 years they say for workers have died during the construction of world cup stadiums that's brought a lot of attention from the international community on cats are now these labor law reforms are partly the way of dealing with international pressure however the closer we get to the world cup in 2022 the more bright the international spotlight will shine imran khan al-jazeera. well in my colleague. she is the general secretary of the international trade union confederation and she says this is a step in the right direction. this is a new dawn for workers migrant workers in good time to have

a free system too in the cafe or system and normalized contracts with appropriate provisions to have a back up system of the labor pool to grievance procedures representation at the workplace but then to have a nondiscriminatory minimum wage on top of that we are delighted to say that courage in the latest issue of the qatari government it's been a long journey we thank the ilo and the government for the dedication to these and frankly it will make the world cup much more secure environment for workers knowing that they have secured a normalised industrial relations system you talked about the fact that this will probably help deflect criticism of qatar ahead of the world cup in 2022 but do you see other countries in the region following suit we see some movement in oman in kuwait

a little bit of hope was there in bahrain but it looking very great and of course we were in discussions ahead of the g 20 with saudi arabia but in 2 we see them recognize that the co-founder system must be in the transparent system of contracts a minimum living wage and of course the right for workers to be represented and to say to grievances when those things are in place then we will say this region is fit for the business but the tasks are only reaches that binged today of course there are things we'll continue to talk to them about we continue to think where they are actually a plot of unscrupulous employers but this is a fantastic historic moment and congratulations to all involved. now polls have just closed and montenegro has parliamentary election where strong turnout has been reported at polling stations across the country president miller you kind of edge

cast his ballot earlier in the capital hard to say here he is doing that his governing party is facing opposition from an alliance seeking closer ties with serbia and russia you can of it as government has led that country almost continuously since the end of communism in the 1990 s. project we expect that montenegrin society will confirm its democratic maturity and responsibility in these elections that the elections will take place in conditions of absolute stability and democratic culture appropriate to modern montenegro i also expect that at the end of the day we stop elise what is the free democratic will of our citizens my expectation is that after that montenegro will continue to move on the path of democratic and economic development choosing its european goals well for more now let's cross lives if that she's in montenegro is capital for us if and i believe you are standing at ruling party headquarters can you talk us through the consequences of the choice that voters are making today i mean if they

don't win it does seem like a shift in power could mean a shift in foreign policy to. well it's very unclear actually what to expect now i mean the water of the ruling party and they are in power for more than 3 decades and montenegro never actually saw any change in power because of this very division in society between those who are prone to your own already entered and. those who are oriented and that's the main the political struggle even with these elections and it gets even deeper so now the d.p.'s this ruling party said that the world for them is the water for independence montenegro for montenegro and identity for western part of the country they've started greece already a member of nato alliance for 3 years and the. leading country. when it comes to european bet on the other hand the opposition said

that people should vote for them in order to get a closer ties with neighboring serbia that this is in the best interest of the country and also to have close ties with russia it could change the course of the country but analysts believe that none of these blocks the ruling party nor the opposition could actually hear enough hands in parliament after this election for a majority so they need to get help from smaller parties from the opposition and the good for montenegran side is that all these smaller parties are an eager oriented the problem is that people are expecting that. both camps are going to announce their victory in these elections and that's why the police is afraid that some wild. break could happen this evening that they're ready for that 4 years ago some 20 serbian citizens were arrested and they were

accused for possible in this country and no one would love to see that kind of situation again because and of course the serbian orthodox church is also hugely and influential here and they have been weighing in on this election how's that playing out. well serbian orthodox jews are very powerful powerful organization we have to mention that almost 70 percent of population are christian orthodox and the main church organization in this country serbian orthodox church now government would love to establish montenegran orthodox church that was once existing they would try to rebuild it again but this church is not officially recognized you know to look small the sort of the main religious organisation is serbian orthodox church the division between church and government came after the montenegrin parliament by the end of the last year of the controversial war which

would allow state eventually to take control over all the religious sites in the country build before night the 18 the before montenegro to join the union with serbia and the serbian orthodox church believe that the main target of that floor saw the start that a huge protest in the country which were happening almost every day even openly called the people to vote for prosser be an opposition and that means for those who are for closer ties with moscow in serbia the church has a big role and actually or other issues such as corruption. rule of law or some other very important issues like economy which was very huge by the situation of pandemic and of course with they were all overshadowed by the it's a religious issue which is actually a very political one isn't pavlovitch there in the montenegrin capital and thanks so much advantage always speaking to you later on in the day as we get results more

flooding is now expected in sudan in the coming days where the government says the river nile has already reached unprecedented levels parts of its capital khartoum are submerged after days now of torrential rain at least $88.00 people have died thousands of homes have been destroyed since the start of this rainy season i have a morgan. this is all that remains of his belongings after the nile river flooded his home and his neighborhood in sudan's capital how to win he says when he 1st saw the river rising 2 days ago he thought he'd be able to save his home but soon realized otherwise. we put sandbags around the entrance of the house so it won't collapse when i went to help other homes much closer to the nile and when the water continued rising i ran back to make sure my house wouldn't collapse but it did and we lost so much i took my family to a relative's house and now i'm trying to see what i can salvage dozens of other homes have suffered similar damage destroyed by the river less than 5 kilometers

away. i took my kids home got submerged in water all our property and life savings have been destroyed by the flood. i have lived here for many years but this is the 1st time the flood has reached this. has caused a lot of damage my house now has collapsed meteorologists say the rise in the level of the nile river is due to heavy rains in the south of the country they also say climate change has increased the amount of annual rainfall flash floods have killed scores of people since the start of the rainy season a month ago thousands of properties around the country have been destroyed hundreds have been displaced some living in tents of us staying behind to guard what is left of their shelters. for many families who've lost their properties in the floods the journey to starting over is one that will take some time the country is going through an economic crisis with inflation soaring at 150 percent and as families

wait for the water levels to recede they remain concerned about the potential spread of water borne diseases such as malaria and cholera sudan's government says it expects more floods in the coming days as heavy rains continue to fall in the highlands of neighboring if you are the source of much of the miles of water not that. we speak to an increase in the normal level in all situations especially from caltrain going northwards so we're doing those people on the banks of the neulander branches not just to be alert but to help protect the areas in their villages and come together for osama the damage is already done he's hoping the government now focuses on assisting those who have been affected by the floods so that they can get over the crisis and rebuild their lives he will morgan on to 0 hard to well lead is the president of the world association for sustainable development and he says the sudanese government has not done enough to help those affected by these floods. the current flooding in from. a could be that which you all see

but across the whole river not from doing well off from across the central part of sudan is primarily a natural disaster no one can argue against that and that the defense system that is the face or the bridges are all that the perfection mechanism which only you need to understand very well they have failed to deal with it not because of the failure of the system i'm always been a critic of the government but this is serious i think we have to be to give 6 right that advantage of that what the scum hold in terms of water is being fraud is a broken record is quite heavy flooding naturally they come with serious health issues there will be loss of b c's loss of property even now some environment they're trying to help the country by giving them warning about insects which would come out of the water it's a very serious humanitarian crisis a cop don't it's a natural crises nothing to do is it down but it needs the government went to the

minister of social affairs this is the time where you see a social fabric so book by government with the vision and leadership we have never seen a single book from any of the government officials prime minister is in different ways he doesn't feel the benefits i think this is a real classic example of a government fairly you have to support is this and i guess one example george w. bush lost. his leadership when he failed to respond to a national disaster in the u.s. i think what he's done in the natural disaster with believe that government fania. hostile hostile hoffler on matters are. demanding answers the families of victims have been forced disappearances in pakistan and the government to take action. and high profile health care outcome. sisters taking part in a coronavirus vaccine trial as cases sold in their country. leads the lakers

presented to parliament for approval it is absolutely shameful that after 2010 there was a report of the national commission on enforced disappearances nor elected government has enforced are implemented any off its recommended pakistan's minister of human rights offers no explanation why it's taking so long to pass the law for them and they said well we need more and more on this one plus one. that. is to get off the list we put them on the. net forward for 5 years on i wonder does that mean mr tallia made a video as part of the family's campaign demanding more information about their missing father in a rare acknowledgement of an enforced disappearance the military has confirmed that it receives facing charges under pakistan's secrets act the family have filed
