capital vilnius bennett let's start with the latest development this monday morning and that's the fact that maria kolesnik cova a prominent opposition figure is missing in minsk what do we know happens. well we're getting a little bit more information from a witness by one of the news agencies who say she saw kolesnik over pushed into a dark colored bomb by masked men last stop the join the scuffle phone dropped on the floor in the mosman picked it up in the bomb drove all she hasn't all the members of the team also haven't been heard from either we should say that minsk police say that they have not the chain kolesnik of a so whereabouts at the moment are unknown but it's clear that being a member of the opposition a high profile member of the opposition. it's now an occupational hazard that you

risk detention or spending dime time in jail as has happened to other opposition leaders and also lead us we could be serious he's a way to us foreign minister he said that the outgoing leadership as he describes in the shank as government issued nucleus eliminating the opposition one by one and he says that methods like those of the stalinist secret police yeah and we see that tweet there from the foreign minister of lithuania they have been arrests a crackdown on the opposition burnette as we've seen with many of them in exile in lithuania or in poland. despite this the protesters seem determined to keep on coming out on to the streets. yeah and i would say that. it's a kind of skier one of the main opposition leaders who is exiled here and in the building as she's going to go to go to poland shortly to meet with the polish prime

minister she's calling on people to continue protesting she says this is an issue this is for the ballet russian people about arrests to decide themselves is for them to come out on the streets and to continue protesting despite what happens to the opposition she said that's what's happened to her colleagues today what appears to have happened in the area kolesnik over looks like an attempt by the authorities to do this right to derail the opposition coordinates council this is what it sets of between them and intimidate its members and she says the regime is engaged in terror thank you very much for that but as smith bringing us the latest say on the situation in bell evillest from the alias now earlier we spoke to live there on a cats have condo in benaroya she's an opposition leader has campaign alongside maria kolesnikov as she says it's a typical tactic of the shank as regime to try and intimidate leaders there is no information hopefully she was detained for

a couple of our was because in our country in belarus you know it's all can normal it's not normal but in a good sense but it's normal when the people get the thing without any explanations so i hope for you she will be released as soon as possible that was carried away about her and below is an entire nation again leader. if you see of the leaders that we see the leaders everywhere now in the streets in the students in the universities in the affected race in the plan plans look at encouraging works this way every time they see a leader and they would like to isolate this is the uniform of the people from the nation and this is so cold as i said it's normal in villages thrice now but i hopefully will question will not be able to do the 9500000 people for abilities because there is a simple it will. not be any space in the prisons but unfortunately this is how does it look at increasing his work among the protests the us will never give up as you see it's been almost one month since their peaceful protests the protests

started and we believe for the similar question as the better for the entire country for the international community and to my opinion that we will never give up the dollars the nation will never give up because he has no bike there is no another way for the lot of us we want another president who want to he or she elections and who want openly to call upon the political detainees to be released since passed bill so we will fight until the day and we believe the bill is in the sleeves the russians the racial will never allow any troops on the delicious border or on dollars to and said look will find. until that there and it's always so different to the peaceful protests a 4th of the peaceful demonstrations and that we will fight until the question. they were sent to look us into gives ups gives up his foreign the costs equip the lot of people do not support the question can you no longer hear us not more than 50 percent of the votes will. that was belushi an opposition leader veronique

cities including here in delhi in fact mumbai is that it was. mentioned in september by the capital but the words that say i have now this is i believe to many. many millions will be met in the cities because it is being done in the face to manage with limited minds and limited times to point out and there are a number of restrictions place including the where the social distancing people are only allowed to sit on it to see how the government message from now has been that indians must live with the point i was taking a look at the proportion and that is because they say they come to put another nation down like the one they have the latest g.d.p. figures shows a new economy shrunk by new 20 percent that's more than any other major economy in

the. social medium ologists he says it's a struggle to protect both health and the economy. all governments both at the federal level as well as the at the state level are certainly interested in opening up the economy as cautiously as possible also there seems to be a kind of a 50 possibly creeping in as far as preventer practices go. to that extent at the crossroads where the economy will have certainly have to open up the undock 4.0 but at the same time the do not the number of active cases is a staggering nearly one 100000 which is actually we're about. 600000 nearly 700000 there is this large pools of active cases. effectively production rate of $1.00 that 3 in the is the wiring point as we speak

to good news is that both this thing capacities and testing rates per 1000000 population has been steadily rising because also announcing a very welcome step of testing under qwest the private sector labs have also been testing increasingly in those other positive points what remain still the big challenges that that's population of a 1000000 population so in india it's currently at about $35000.00 which is about half of brazil and the u.s. test per 1000000 is nearly 8 and a half times the indian rate. these other sort of standards that we need to reach to in order to get a grasp. still ahead on al-jazeera we're live in manchester where an inquiry into the 2017 everynight bombing big games as survivors seek answers as to whether it could have been prevented and the u.s. open is thrown wide open up to world number one novak djokovic just disqualified

washing. welcome back every capra the top stories on al-jazeera in belo rules say prominent protest leader is missing after an incident in the center of the capital minsk have been reports maria kolesnik over has been taken away in a van by an identified people more than 600 protesters were detained at a knowledge on thai government in belarus his capital on sunday india has a prosperous sale to become the country with the 2nd highest number of corona virus

infections in the world in the past 24 hours is recorded more than 19000 new cases and over 1000 deaths. annually 300 refugees have been rescued from a beach in indonesia have to drifting at sea for 6 months it's believed the groove set sail from bangladesh in late march or early april they were bound for malaysia but were pushed back as borders tightens because of the pandemic hundreds of thousands of rohingya have fled myanmar since in military crackdown and 2017 most are in neighboring bankhead day john quigley is a human rights specialist focusing on the wrong act 45 right see calls on the indonesian government to offer them protection many were here to refugees have been in bangladesh for you know 3 years now since the genocidal attacks and 12 and 17 and there is severe restriction and on their everyday lives. are not granted

education they're not able to freely move about they're not allowed to assemble or speak against the government so many of them have decided to try to seek better lives in malaysia and indonesia this boat of course without need for nearly 6 months and tragically an estimated 30 people died at sea and this is something that should have never happened in the 1st place. governments in southeast asia have been awful actually i don't allow ng working or refugee boats to disembark on their shores sometimes governments in this region have pushed refuse to the boat back out to sea under international law that is considered for a full month means that you're pushing boats or pushing people back to places where they could die or experience more persecution and this goes against all international humanitarian law so places like malaysia have pushed boat back to thailand has also pushed both boats back in the path this already is in in indonesia and in i say right now should after the 2 week cove in 1919 they should

not detain refugees in immigration detention centers they should not prosecute them for entering the country without passports they should grant them access to livelihood ways to work in the country access to units yard protective status and case workers a lot of the working the refugees that disembark the notch a also had a lot of medical conditions they should be allowed to go to the hospital and looked after refugees in indonesia do not always experience that kind of treatment we've documented situations where refugees are extorted by police and are held indefinitely in immigration detention centers so the indonesian government to protect refugees not persecute them or. south korea has been battered by a 2nd major storm in a week typhoon brought heavy rains and strong winds but has been downgraded to a tropical storm rob mcbride has more from south korea. haitian came

it was still a powerful typhoon bringing destructive winds and torrential rain. already drenched from successive typhoons and don't usually prolong seasonal rains there's been more flooding especially along the peninsula's east coast extending up into north korea the country's leader kim jong un has taken a prominent role in directing the cleanup of earlier typhoon damage and punishing officials for failing to prevent the flooding of the main eastern city of one son that city has been inundated once more by hi sharon. back in south korea attack one killed inspects the damage to his fish distribution business if a more powerful typhoon is another norm he says maybe the country has to adapt to the new reality either the government should build sea defenses alone discourses of priority to stowaways of the size in the future he and his neighbors weigh

tankersley to find out what the surrounding seas might throw at them next robert bride al-jazeera pohanka south korea an inquiry into the 27000 bombing of a concert in the british city of manchester is underway after months of delays because of the pandemic 22 people were killed when an attacker detonated explosives at a concert by singer ariana grande a inquiry will examine possible security failings in the lead up to the attack family members of victims and survivors will also make statements last month the bombers brother was jailed for life for his role in the in planning the attack whole brennan joins us now live from outside the court in manchester poll they have already been a number of reports in inquiries into this bombing what's the purpose of this inquiry today. this will focus more on the circumstances of the deaths of the individual victims as you say we have looked

previously or there have been previous inquiries and reports done on the response of the much services for example and the work of the security services as to whether they could have done more the scope of the security services will form part of this inquiry but this is essentially an inquest into the circumstances the deaths and that's going to make it rather harrowing for the bereaved relatives many of whom realize that they going to have to listen in detail to the final moments and the injuries the fatal injuries that the loved ones and joy that there is also a lot of concentration on whether or not opportunities were missed to prevent the manchester arena bombing attack for example whether the security services who knew about someone a baby he was a close subject of interest in the terminology whether or not they should have given him a higher priority and and done more to look at exactly what he was up to in the weeks and months ahead of the bombing and in the summary that the barest for the

inquiry has set a house in his opening statement this morning here in manchester pull greenock you see he said that for example in the minutes just before the blast there were opportunities as well 17 minutes before the blast a witness reported to a member of the venue security about the suspicious behavior of sound month but that didn't filter into the thinking of the show security in time to prevent the attack so there's a lot to consider right now it's going to be partly held behind closed doors because of the need to hear from intelligence sources but nevertheless the families hoping to get resolution from this yeah talk us through the process today paul and you know what were the ballad to get all the answers they health for. well yeah it's going to be difficult i mean the relatives are unhappy certainly some of them that the security for services will be allowed to give evidence behind closed doors

and that there won't be a representative or a lawyer representing that the relatives in the room when that evidence is given so they're not happy about that that said the fact that it's been moved from an inquest to a full independent public inquiry does mean that we will at least hear from the security services and that will form part of the final report so from that point of view that there's a great opportunity for lessons to be learnt the process is essentially the open today opening statements the opening statements will last 3 days on the inquiry it's over last 6 months or it's a string of 2021 thank you for that paul brennan line for sarah in manchester and the latest stage of julian essence legal battle to avoid being sent to the us is resuming in london the wiki leaks founder faces 18 charges in the u.s. for publishing secret government documents that reveal david and so of war crimes and human rights abuses in iraq and afghanistan he could be jailed for 175 years if found guilty in the u.s.
