digital sound bites and we're digging into the issues from international politics to the global pandemic. and everything in between. join me as i take on the live, dismantled misconceptions and debate the contradiction upfront with me, mark lamar help one out there the thousands of micro stranded in no man's land between felonies and the european union. a human catastrophe. many believe that's been deliberately engineered by better research. authoritarian leader, alexander lucas shinkel, but to his breath weary opponents, many now in exile. the president's latest departure from international norms is in line with what's gone before. as the crisis was worsening, we went to find out why the

on the eastern fringe of the european union, a worsening crisis, is threatening of regional stability. for the 1st time, every game is bringing in people from the middle eastern countries from far away land deceiving them off easy passage through european union, bella, reese's. socratic government has been pushing tens of thousands of desperate migrants into neighboring lithuania and poland, making them cross the borders illegally. that's a completely new thing. they are really using people as bullets in this hybrid war . knife as winter approaches,

as she monetary and disaster looks ever more likely. people already say that they are walking through their woods and they see bodies dead bodies. it's the latest gambit of bella. rouge is hauled line dictator, alexander lucas shanker. will the shanker now as taking vengeance against us, we are dating way. secondly, at his being at all against the will of his people by a dictator. the crisis comes in the wake of the key you sanctions imposed on, beller ruth after 2020 to rigged presidential election. it left a desperate in place. human rights in tatters, and opponents at home and abroad in fear of their lives. on lucas shank, his official website that bela bruce and president is often portrayed as a jovial man of the people. one minute he's handing out gifts to sick children.

the next he's limbering up on the ice rink alongside vladimir putin. he could be seen handing out medals or giving pep talks to his loyal workers. it's a fantasy that couldn't be farther from the truth. for the last 27 years, lucas shanker has ruled bella roost with an iron fist system of ideas ca justin deal. if it's absolute nurse, i get skipped to $70000000.00. he put us somewhere, but a squiggly vessel currently gets out with you. on said kish okey, let us love him for years. any attempt to foster democracy in bella ruse has been brutally crushed from zillow. gluck nichol daniel credit, one close to being all the keels sitting in the corner. so when lucas shanker imprisoned his main defendants in the run up to last year's election,

few was surprised. but one of the candidates wives spect loaner took an off sky, then stood in her husband's place to take on the president. lee with beacon young massey at mass gatherings before the po, millions lined up under the opposition's, red and white colors, adding their names to lists and taken off skies support a necessary precaution in a country prone to fraudulent elections. huge you lines, way in means key in the other cities as his lines showed that people they against wickersham. it was a mess movement. such things that have never happened. can bill of people united for the idea that may be of this time me, they'll manage to prove that

a shameka a last however, in a dictatorship 2nd, any other be one winner. and when lucas shanker was declared president for the 6th time, the hopes of millions of bell ruffians turned to anger. lucas shank, his response to the protests was characteristically uncompromising, plunging the country into crisis for much of 2020 of civil vote. sure, this is cynthia ethridge global for shortly of the funniest lou love, if you will, michelle, up. his else could combine sanctions on individuals, businesses and economic entities deemed to be financing the regime were imposed by the e. u to stop the dictators cash flow. the people of been iris are asking for free

and fear election. this is what we want to support. lucas shank is cracked down, also sparked a mass exodus with more than one in 30 by the russians fleeing the regime. since august 2020 we have is should over 170000 recess. both payments are in visas of for asylum seekers. the domestic conflict has become an international crisis with poland and lithuania, becoming the new centers of resistance to the regime. now we're understand that people are much better who understand their plight for democracy, for liberty, and the address under which they are currently being placed by the regime. now these bella russians living in exile, many based in the lithuanian and polish capitals and felonies and warsaw, opposing a serious threat to the dictator. i am completely overwhelmed by that

respect for the young activists wire exile. they're very, very active and very brave while you're oh, go ski. i thought about what i can do for people. for lucian. i don't have, i don't know ultimate collage. you can. yeah, i don't house. i don't have pistol, ed. i don't, i don't have a poison. so i have my voice doctor tickets if you want them to show me, but you gotta get a schedule i and then and then mark risa left check as enraged. lucas shanker with her comic songs lampooning the dictator and his henchmen who fail pasta was performing in vilnius when she got word that the authorities were

after her and cancer self. very lucky i think about people who are now in prison. so for them it's not good. yes, i think and for me it's good because i'm free. so not depression police margarita, not done cry place because you are free. you can breathe. you can see the sky and they cannot. margarita has been demonized on beller ration state t v. this program entitled order of judith features a different opposition figure every week. the implicit threat is all the more chilling given lucas shank is a long suspected habit of assassinating dissidence for which the regime has never been held to account and you will go to it.

and yet not andre us to povich was once a senior investigator at the bell rouge and ministry of interior keys too. now in exile and just behind the opposition's, bipolar data project. collecting information on former colleagues suspected of crimes against humanity. one moment because what you have in some secret, runic of a given that he's going to skip a voice vital has a master dozens of k, this audio recordings. in this one secret police officer's broke about the use of torture alone but the mean law. busy source is at the very heart of the security services leak

information, which can later be used to prosecute wrongdoers. this includes an alleged audio recording deputy interior minister miss lake, her pain, coffee tank. his officers to shoot to kill and protest has been in limbo, talks about the possibility of eventual trial of their current regime. you know, they are becoming more of a more louder because we understand that the red lines have been caught one of the many shocking images from the crackdown is that a pretence to gain either each and limp body dragged along the ground by the dictators feared among police lower

the furniture is merely a living in the court lage, and was looking to survive. no re lithuania. he, along with many others, is planning to take the regime to court in the last so clothes will help lower little bits of cool. boyden in western countries, have instruments that were used before in these sorts of cases in the countries of former yugoslavia, and in other cases were the responsible people from the regime go to trial. i'm certain that eventually the swell or reach disclosure that those responsible will have to face just ah, glad i didn't. oh yeah,

you know them. okay. oh of those know in exile it is fred loaner. take an office go. he poses the biggest threat to lucas shanker, not least, as she is widely recognized as the rightful winner of the presidential election. now, based in vilnius, her ability to draw thousands to her rallies makes her a potent symbol for the pro democracy movement. hero press to understand that there is no way back in this situation. benito, keep trash up on the machine, chicken off sky. a scene here in walsall, with the polish prime minister is pressing hard for more sanctions and has gone at support from most european leaders. we will discuss different options of sanctions, and there is a 3000000000 investment and economy package ready to go under european union that is on hold and frozen till bellows churns, democrats, nevertheless,

looters. shanker felt it necessary to double police salaries and give free apartments to combat officers. the cost of keeping his security forces happy is becoming a huge drain on a rapidly dwindling state budget. i mean, regimes a situation is fragile. at the moment, businesses understand that they can lose everything. a support team because of sanctions, people in security and they can't walk normally because they i b s i one time. and you know, because uncle, for sure feels this on stability or people around indeed some officials now up. so have their face is blurred when meetings with the president all add on by the russian t v. when she was portia silica her, what immigration from you know, ship a good. it's a new 6 wards, but the most or anybody knew ocean?

la. yeah. he but, but it's in the volley. no. the young disk. it's called to let me, i can actually put your chest with pronunciation. typical lucas shanker is left with no one to turn to except vladimir putin, whose offer to send police reinforcements back in 20. 20 was a pivotal moment. thanks to the support during the crisis in 2020 look a shanker was able to keep forward but that support came at a price. deep integration with moscow. some think lucas shanker usually tries hard to avoid. oh gosh, anchor did the song and believe that gallows is only his country and he is not going to share his followers annual. as a result, the increasingly isolated president is resorting to f a more dangerous tactics to

neutralize his opponents abroad. the forced landing of a ryan edge yet in june to catch frame in protest. savage is a case in point process. savage had been editor in chief of the telegram channel next to now being run by colleagues in walsall. i yes, and shelling imperial tuscany air ready to dull up over the some of the most by the shoot carson lab. can you get a chance to get them to kim for them to come with live with 3000000 followers and better. rece next has long been an end to day to, to state propaganda from the bus stop care. most about stay with carla, but it's like problems to place, you know which you leave the shop, keep the sheesh file. a 4th video i'll do the command of suggest is to show level

trainer midwest. the platform continues to show chilling footage of life over the border. and there's nothing lucas shanker can do about it. ear canal, blessed social media listeners. any money a book you can cite muslims of like your ticket in for which i said the next the office has a permanent police guard. obviously we are aware that there might be attempts out of the lives even because this to the nature of these regimes. it wouldn't be the 1st time that opponents of the regime were assassinated on foreign soil. most recently, lucas shanker stands accused of ordering the murder of italy, chauffeur, whose hanging body was discovered in august in a forest neither ukrainian capitol kiev. he's been badly beaten before death.

now we've been watching. yeah. those not live, but unfortunately, just in the past that used to get my stuff was going on with math. shisha was head of the bell ration house opposition center in kiev, which helps people to flee the regime work his girlfriend now continues. but providing this sort of health is not that risk as she shelf knew only too well chosen. he hello to you from a little bit before the end of several of our show is proved, tragically prophetic. when he disappeared while jogging the police mounted a search in a nearby forest. but when jane and her friend your joins and only your was allowed to enter. when he returned the jane, you could tell something was wrong. what's to be hooked on me up basket with i

should grab my body to your app store store nicely. store them on the on the more near the washington able to fit the quiz. yes. some of the little brought up the new building. yes. is roy on the, on multi deputy, you'll enjoy your free trial and stay on the phone with me at the hotel. and you on lucas shanker, denies responsibility for the hanging but by the ration stay t z makes it quite clear how the regime would like to deal with activists abroad. and activists at home may soon find themselves equally silenced rumors or rice. that luca shanker has ordered the construction of concentration camps. jetta consul again from upson and not be away from us post a call. once again deputy interior minister can bank of

explains what lucas shanker has in mind. that she needs those destined for the new camps of people like antonia carnival over antonio. his mother anna escaped to poland, to prevent the authorities from seizing her grand children last year and vanya mad which putting him our chest here. but it will only come find me on now. she berella, but she is of his lana trunel school for this. her daughter and son in law were arrested and sentenced to 5 years right now with the, with a man. what of all know?

bumbled up around the store. mom. yeah, but you know less than what it went. it was not normal, but. right. you know, because alice thought michelle moreland, mulch equipment and training for my chris you. but don't worry at all the much get the most are with the standard deposit, the owner and many of the exile guys in muso, every sunday, to demonstrate against lucas shanker while they wait for their loved ones release, especially at the school, the dog or at the morgan, good,

when should the watch long, especially of course, to me in the, during your torch and on the, under the, was not a cheer. and his daughter is just one of countless thousands of victims of the crisis, but as the legions of his political detainees can attest. lucas shanker is clearly willing to keep breaching international norms. they can employ all means and measures that they can think of. and, and mr. lucre shanker, we know he was promising quite a lot of these actions where, you know, he would smuggle radioactive materials to european union. he promised to smuggle more drugs and what, all sorts of things. so basically, you know, he's limited just by his nefarious imagination. all the same when lucas shank, his regime began inviting migrants to bela reese and then started forcing them over the border into neighboring proven nitty lane. yet it took everyone by surprise.

it's a completely new thing. this kind of a humanitarian blackmailed at the little authorities are now trying to exert on poland and generally speaking on the european union. so they're really using people as bullets in this hybrid war. because pollens lithuania, have the whole thing above you should nation in order to ensure that they can actually send them across the cross. will shankar if inducing migration waves the for the 1st time at country at every heem, is bringing in people from the middle east. countries from far away land deceiving them of easy passage through european union lithuania and poland. have constructed fences along the border to stop the migrants, but they are also being prevented from returning to bella reese,

teams of activists like this, one of bringing supplies to the migrants here, we're caught in name and land and say they've been beach and by bella rouge and border guards on lucy and then enable to return to the reese full enterprises. the situation is desperate. the restrictions and has been established along the border to keep the press and n g o z. and you already have people who died because of the cold. and now it's going to get worse. some people already say that they are walking through the woods and they see bodies dead body. and i think there will be so much more that they don't care about those people who are they bringing in. they don't care

about the whole situation that they're creating. they just want one thing. they just want the sanctions to be removed with tensions rising and reports of bell ration. border guards threatening to fire at the polish counterparts. how serious is the risk of a wider conflict? the risk is unfortunately very big and i am upset to certain that he is capable of escalating is towards a much more dangerous conflict using not just hybrid towards hybrid warfare, but also the conventional one short dresser fibral most used to probably motor. she's probably in the locker room, but about her actual use, you know, she can show you a little much for brutal because the bowling girl action that the person that

i the corona virus pandemic has altered modern society as governments have grappled with soaring cases, contact tracing and huge data collections are causing concern among civil rights activists. people in power investigates the ever increasing powers of government and businesses as they access peoples. most personal data asks what is being done to regulate the flow of sensitive information under the cover of cove it on a just 0 a

a with a. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through here are we believe everyone has a story we're hearing a say quit himalayan summit. lot treacherous than ever. conver kona has never been a and feared by local yet an irresistible challenge to western climate. a sharper family must choose between going against

their religious beliefs and guiding a group of mountaineers, or rejecting much needed income. the wallet shadows on al jazeera. ah, hello. this is al jazeera. ah, hello there, i'm miss darcy. hey, this is the news. our line from our headquarters here in durham coming up in the next 60 minutes. tanks and military vehicles crossed into democratic republic of congo as uganda repairs a ground offensive against an armed group will get the very latest from the government in kinshasa for his or program here in vienna of iran. so brooks to draw proposals towards forward negotiating. the revival of the
