everybody is hungry we're not just here protesting to take a picture and post it on facebook people are hungry and when people get hungry well that's it. lebanon faces huge challenges dish reconstruction costs and the welfare of an entire nation under threat for now being on rest of the last few days looks set to carry on into a new week. when he w a correspondent basle i read a has been following developments in beirut for us i spoke to him a short time ago and asked him what the situation looks like on the ground it's same as yesterday at this moment. just crossed next to my right. to the protesters it was complete chaos. and i would go. to the parliament but they succeeded in having a hole in the seam. and look that's i don't think the parliament i'm talking about

a few meters away from the main quarter of the parliament they succeeded to have to cross to break. that cement block at that moment the. forces in tennis could force that they're right for this related to the internal forces they should have the. good guys against the protesters and they succeeded few moments ago to take them to take them away from the from that that area near the farm that they are right now just behind me if you can see the fire what it's burning under one of the billboards in response to one of minister has already resigned others and may well fall out if you have been on on at the cost of a political crisis. indeed yes it is the information that he signed today the minister of. environment resigned but he

didn't announce that for the media or confidence because tomorrow morning there's going to be a meeting for the cabinet according to my interview that tomorrow the government might resign might resign. the office of the the i'm not at least 8 minutes is that they had the intention to resign this moment when we talk about 8 months of this mean about 20 percent of the government this means that the cabinet it's resigned according to the constitution so that's why the prime minister may be . talked. to hold their designation on tomorrow they may be the discussion tomorrow would change something but according to my info to my sources the everybody's prime minister is under high pressure from his political allies to do things 1st of all he announced 2 days ago that he's seeking or he's going to discuss in his cabinet meeting tomorrow the early elections which

which means that he didn't coordinate this issue with his political allies and when we talk about elections in lebanon we talk about one of the most serious debate the controversial issues between the politician parties and indeed. tension between among the political elites so when he said that he's going to discuss this issue and in his cabinet meeting tomorrow that due to some tension between him and some of his allies allies and some other parties in. his cabinet on the other hand one of the other pressures. from his political allies asking him not. because the country now it's on aid. to have another oath for another government when you talk about your money is government you talk about too many issues and so complicated it's not about an issue you are talking about

regional issues as well that create in this formation of this government as well as some international interference so while the prime minister resigned. to have a new prime minister of. india. cabinet minister ministry meeting closely tomorrow a thank you for your reporting from beirut. thank you. well in belarus at the latest exit poll in the country's presidential election it says a longtime leader alexander lukashenko has won it with almost 80 percent of the vote people in valerie's were voting in one of the most closely contested presidential races in decades because franco is seen here casting his vote has held a power since the ninety's and is running for a 6th term he faced the toughest challenge so far to his authoritarian rule from sideline to take another guy out a 37 year old english teacher who is the wife of

a jailed presidential candidate. well let's cross now to be a correspondent and we share one who has a monitoring the situation from moscow to state approved exit polls a claim alexander lukashenko has secured close to 80 percent of the vote how are people reacting to the news that he's on track for a landslide victory. well his of his opponent location because opponents hit on it you know if the head of called on people to take to the streets and to go to their their polling stations as well when the polling stations closed and today we're seeing people taking to the streets across their videos on social media circulating of people marching through minsk the capital of people clapping in crowds and of people kind of beeping their car horns as they drive through the city as well there has been some arrests by special forces there also

have been videos going around of people kind of fighting with the special forces as people get arrested they try to get these people free from from the grips of the police of really dramatic scenes that we're already seeing now in belarus meanwhile to kind of opposition new sites has been seemingly blocked of course the numbers in some ways are not a surprise after all in the last presidential election got 84 percent of the vote and it's important to point out that international observers have never recognized an election in belarus as having been free or fair and even before these elections lucas said himself that he's not willing to give up power but we have seen in recent weeks a groundswell of support for his opponents along as you can of and now we're hearing from those same polls that she only got close to 70 percent of the vote why these low figures. well it doesn't really seem to add up as you say when you saw

those crowds of tens of thousands of people gathering to support the one off square which really is unprecedented for belarus where it's basically for the last few few years been essentially impossible to protest and or very very rare for there to be protests. for self following this announcement of these initial results said that she doesn't recognize those results and she said herself i believe my eyes and i see that the majority is with us presumably risk referring to some of those rallies that she was that in that she held the opposition had anticipated that there would be a result in look favor and had called on her supporters to wear white ribbons as they went to the ballot boxes to essentially be counted so we could see some kind of office ition say yours emerging in the coming days and also we'll have to wait for official figures final official figures as well all right. thank you.

all western europe is of baking in a heat wave and to stay cool people have been flocking to beaches this weekend but authorities are worried they are sunbathing and too close to each other they've warned about a potential uptick in coronavirus cases as people let down their guard. when temperatures are climbing past 35 degrees celsius there's nothing like a quick dip in the sea to cool down. but this is what many beaches in western europe look like this weekend. britain's southern coast line was packed with visitors many had been forced to abandon holidays abroad because of covert 19 travel restrictions but it seems like the risk of getting infected also exists closer to home. we did arrive early enough so that we would get a decent price for us out goofy happy see
