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. some protesters are being detained more than 125 according to the couple and many journalists have had their accreditation revoked there was on sunday what witnesses described as the largest deployment so far of security forces who blocked off access to some main streets. 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 a road close to lucas shank his residence in minsk as protesters headed there. but there seems to be no indication the momentum has gone out of these demonstrations look ashamed looks no more likely to loosen its grip on the presidency after 26 years it's. the kremlin says about amir putin called alexander lukashenko on sunday

majority doorbell or a sense are tired of having a look at the president and what we can see right now it means streets and larger cities from belarus we can see all generations all sorts all groups workers students all their people protesting against the government so they don't protest just for europe or or russia they protest for freedom this is the pure pro-democracy movement in 2020 and we've seen something quite unique something quite different we've seen large numbers of women take to the streets of men scare and other cities war message does this send symbolic to the powers that be in belarus. you know belarus is very patriarchal very conservative society and women were never involved in politics but this year is very different we have the presidential candidate and the opposition leader is for planets and those can lead

in the whole movement and we also see that the majority doth rally is the protestant minsk in the regions are organized by women and yesterday in mainz who had to women's march more than 10000 people women gathered there and the ride police they didn't know what to do because you know usually they are deal in the way of the male protesters and they're very aggressive and and here they they they were they became victims of their own sexism for following what's going on on social media obviously social media has been hugely important when it comes to mobilizing protesters but there's an awful lot of chatter on social media predicting or trying to guess what look at shanker is going to do next what are people saying social media are the fool of this protestant most of the card nation activities are made by a telegram message and so people agree on the place where they brought us they

ground for him on the topic and look at cannot control because it's fully encrypted messenger and social media is the main driver but also the main area for people to take part because before when you came to means going to 1010 state television was controlling the information space and the majority of militants didn't have internet if the propaganda but right now they can go to instagram you tube telegram and they see that majority do ability to censor jamen about freedom and this inspires them it mobilizes them and the 1st of all it helps information to flow. as you mentioned their previous demonstrations of flared up and they've died down quite quickly we've seen heavy handed tactics in the past used by the or thora t's do you think your thoughts as they are now are showing restraint given the sizable numbers on the streets i think that there is still very and in secure right now yes they have army they have police but they also feel like they don't have full

control as they had before and the power of vertical is not so consolidated as it was 10 years ago which also a limited they don't riot police from doing specific activities or were arrested in potentially their protesters so let's let's just imagine that we have the daily diary and country we have full control of police all of this situation and suddenly people feel we are enough and these police units confused because they were not trained to deal with such massive crowds and it needs time for the system to rebuild tactics and strategies how to deal with source out some such mess of resistance from average worker great to talk to you thank you thank you. the mayor of the u.s. city of portland has blamed president trump for inciting violence calling him out for 4 years of what he called racist and bigoted hate speech mayor ted wheeler made

the comment during a press conference on saturday night one person was shot dead during violent clashes between rival groups in the city portland has been the site of nightly demonstrations for more than 3 months since police killed george floyd in minneapolis also want trump to stay away from the city. he has an opportunity to lift doesn't bring us together and help us move through this difficult situation in our nation's history and instead he chooses to play petty politics and divide us that's my reaction so i'm going to do the work that i need to do here in my local community with my local officials to take accountability for what's happening on our streets and i'd appreciate that either the president's supporters or you stay the hell out of the way or similar comments were made by the commotion there trump is expected to visit the city on choose day as i said before

from my perspective right now is not the time. presidents are always welcome in the community but the timing i think is not really a very good time and why then i think that when you look at the conditions that are going on in the community this can be is trying to heal we're trying to move together and i think that at this point in time it's and it's not the best idea. so let's cross to mike hanna who's in washington d.c. mike protests of multiple cities unrest growing nationwide concern and criticism from these 2 men as of course the shooting in poland what more do we know. well with that particular shooting what we do know is that a large group of supporters of president trump traveled into portland in the course of sun today there were clashes throughout the night at least one person has been killed the identity of the victim not known at this particular stage or who did the shooting also not certain at this particular stage but president trump himself this

morning a hail of tweets summer 90 tweets or retreats within the course of just over an hour and he making very clear that he fully backs those supporters going into cities like portland says that his supporters should be going into other what he calls democratic run cities in other parts of the country he described those demonstrators supporting him as great patriots so certainly president trump according to many observers is using the situation to continue to ferment discontent in the streets at the same time as blaming those who are protesting on black lives matters issues dismissing them as anarchists now the heard from the mayors they're blaming president trump for part of what is happening his chief of staff mark meadows denies this completely this is what mark meadows has to say

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. well democrat member of congress ellen sure feds raise the possibility that this is an intentional strategy by president trump leading into the election that it suits him to have violence in the streets particularly of democratic controlled cities very serious charges being made by that particular congressman at this stage president trump insists that he will be going to connote here on tuesday despite the fact that the mayor there has not been informed he says about the impending arrival of the president and also doesn't think as you heard that the timing is

very good but president trump appears to be going ahead you've been playing golf in the course of the day following that tweet storm in the morning we're likely to be getting more tweets from him as the evening wears on thank you mike mike hanna there in washington d.c. . democratic presidential nominee joe biden has released a statement on the portland violence offering his condolences to the family of the dead man we must not become a country at war with ourselves he wrote a country that accepts the killing of fellow americans who do not agree with you a country that vengeance toward one another but that is the america the president trump wants us to be the america he believes we. are joined now by douglas sloan who is a social justice activist who joins me now by skype from washington d.c. douglas thanks for joining us with the donald trump seems to be fans were naming

the unrest in portland as an example of democratic party incompetence how is it possible for the democrats to see he's back control of the narrative. are well it's quite easy if you mean we didn't have this type of civil war unrest soon nationwide violence in protests when barack obama was in office this all happened under trump the problems with containing the quote about we spend in this nation alive still on rescue has all happened on his watch so it's kind of difficult to understand how the republicans in even trying to frame this narrative as a democratic problem when it's happened on their watch trump is expected to visit can no show on choose say we've heard from the man who's deeply worried about war might happen if that goes ahead no indication that he'll see jacob blake of course who

was shot and powerless police by police how do you think a potential trump visit would go down if it does go ahead. well. given the vitriolic nature of some of trance remarks where he seems to be egging on some of his more aggressive supporters to come over rural areas and so there were suburban areas and come into these cities and kind of gauge the black lives matter protests like we're in some type of whole war because of that new entrant seems to to relish in making these in syria remarks remarks it could very well be a big problem it could very well turn into a powder keg so one would hope that cooler heads will prevail in good knows who is constant. it has been these outside agitators that we've seen white supremacist

groups and and militias are coming from outside these urban areas that are infiltrating the peaceful black lives matter protesters there are causing all these problems and inciting violence so it could really turn into a problem and one would hope that the governor of wisconsin and the mayor can osha will be able to exercise some type of were straight regarding traffic coming in to ravenna anything crazy from happening talking about trump coming in another option the president has a pounding away in up is a possibility of sending in the national guard to into poland what would that mean politically for trump and what would that mean for people on the ground there. well it doesn't seem that the national guard coming into a city to try to. do with 8 think is maintaining the

peace and in maybe gazing with 'd protesters is never a good thing. there are most of the black flies matter protesters are peaceful it is these outside agitators that are coming in there causing all the problems as a just did a study regarding the arrests of people in seattle washington they found that 75 percent were pro city of seattle it's crazy so it really comes down to true of political strategy is trying in seeking to divide this is a nation is seeking to cause strife he is seeking to salvage so chaos in the spur environment seemed to rile up his base to get people angry and to hopefully get into the polls and i had i can't tell you how bad of a strategy that is it will backfire on him in november douglass slow and i suppose

only time will tell thank you very much for your insight thank you. now coming up on al-jazeera this news hour after dozens were killed fears of more flooding on the way for sudan why the government is being accused of failing its people. indonesia and volunteers to be part of a combined coronavirus vaccine trial but they insist they are not human guinea pigs . and it's sport coronavirus hits the u.s. open tennis just a day before play starts in new york. exit polls from the montenegro election have confirmed a tight contest with about 80 percent of the sample vote counted it shows the governing d.p.'s party with about 35 percent of the votes and the opposition

alliance with about 33 percent it's an election that could change the political landscape in montenegro and the democratic party of socialists led by a president who kind of which has been in power for 30 years the government brought the balkan state closer to the european union the tight contest could mean the g.p.s. might not be able to govern in its own right the opposition comprises a coalition of mainly nationalist parties called the for the future of montenegro that wants to take the country closer to serbia and russia it also also is backed by the serbian orthodox church which has been urging votes against the d.p.'s or most of montenegro population of 620002 members of the church and about a 3rd of the population identify as serbian. for more let's go live to eve on. the capital of montenegro is this the result that people were expecting.

well new it is quite surprising actually montenegro never saw a change in power and even the possibility that that might happen is quite surprising surprisingly as a result of this ruling party of which such a sharp fall elections and also a sharp rise of the opposition it's very silent here in the headquarters of ruling party as you can see we're still expecting to see parties leader milledge you can assure. president of the montenegro to explain his views on this situation the problem is that both camps the ruling party and the opposition have the cleared victory in the selections there is a celebration in opposition camp it's still silent here but people are expecting this winning speech of the milage account of each and he needs to explain on how this party. thinks that it will be able to create

a new government in montenegro in such a very. tight electoral situation so it's nothing is solved then it seems that we are we will have to wait for the last ballot to be count to have a clear view on what's the situation in parliament and who is they actually going to run this country for the next 4 years now all possibilities are all there is so the so the final votes being counted but what can we expect in the coming days when we have a fuller understanding of how this election is going. well definitely there is going to be. very tough political fights on the political scene in montenegro and i was so very careful about this prediction suis going to leave this country they were mentioning them to the situation like this happened before on the local levels well when opposition are good results but. at the end leading

party succeeded to get to some votes of from their side that to establish a local governments they believe that that could happen even here but what's what's very important to say is that neither can have a majority in the parliament all sides that both sides the ruling party and the opposition they need help from our smaller parties there are 3 options and good things to the fore for the people in montenegro who are for western oriented and who are gloved to see this country go in this progress there in europe impaired is there. the spark the school will decide on who is going to run this country are all from into new england and progress there are oriented parties. thank you very much for the update us even popovich in particular. has announced labor

law reforms after 2 years of consultations with the un's labor body it sets a monthly minimum wage that's no longer based on nationality qatar's largest export populations come from bangladesh pakistan the philippines and india it says the wage far outstrips wages in those countries the reforms also include the removal of a law that required employer approval to switch jobs workers can now change employers without needing their sponsors approval rights groups have highlighted various concerns in the past regarding cattle sponsorship system known as the kafala the plight of workers leading up to the 2022 world cup workers are says the new standards are aligned with its 2030 national vision imran khan reports. 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 19 pandemic the international labor organization says the new laws will be forced and there 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 been official for all including the 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 after those 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 the workers are aware making sure that the enterprises companies the private sector is aware because i was 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 some construction sites and

inadequate living conditions in the last 6 years 34 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. oh sharon borrow is general secretary of the international trade union confederation she says is a step in the right direction in making the world cup a secure environment for workers. this is a new dawn for workers migrant workers in qatar to have a free system too in the kfar system and normalized contracts with appropriate produce and to have a back up system of an labor cotton grave and procedures representation at the

workplace but they need to have a nondiscriminatory minimum wage on top of that we are delighted to say the courage and the leadership of the qatari government it's been a long journey we thank the ilo and the government for the dedication to the east and frankly it will make the world cup much more secure environment for workers knowing that they have secured a normalised industrial relations system we say some movement in oman in kuwait a little bit of hope was there in bahrain but it's looking very bleak and of course we're in discussions ahead of the g 20 with saudi arabia but until we see them recognize that the compiler 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

settle grievances when those things are in place then we will say this region is fit for business but the task reaches that binged today of course there are things we'll continue to talk to them about we continue to defend work with they are actually at the plot of unscrupulous employers but this is a fantastic historic moment and congratulations to all involved. still to come on i'll just hear this news out of the canyon valley that's become a lake what's behind the 12 meter rising water level that's displaced thousands of people. from. 3 year old survives a terrifying ordeal at a taiwan kite festival. le bron james lays the lakers on and off the court of the n.b.a. playoffs. to the. hollow
