a culture of corruption for the huge explosions in favor of a week ago they drove people into the streets demanding reform. president and so efforts and nourishes to pump 2 and a half 1000 tonnes of oil out of the grounded carrier before it breaks up some cold recent lagoons have already been polluted. i'm going have as welcome to the show the opposition candidate in belarus's presidential election has fled the country so atlanta to get off scot is now in neighboring lithuania where she has joined her children she'd sent them there before the vote and before she accused president alexander lukashenko of rigging the election results germany has called on the european union to consider imposing sanctions on belarus u.s. secretary of state. my pompei was set the vote was not free and fair but russian

president vladimir putin has congratulated look of sankoh on the his when he delivers opposition challenger had given no hint that she was about to leave the country. proud of the president on sunday in minsk for the election. by monday she was gone her whereabouts are unknown her team unable to reach her. now svetlana taken off scalia has reappeared with a somber message online. to say the companion. i knew what this campaign really toughened me and empowered me that i could withstand anything. new but perhaps i'm still the weak woman that i was in the beginning but was initially. the opposition candidate has fled to neighboring lithuania as confirmed by the country's foreign minister taken off scale says she

was not forced out of her country and the belarussians government also insisted that she left on her own accord. i made a very difficult to sit in for myself and i've made it absolutely independently the it's in the ne in the game in europe a moot many will understand me those who did many will denounce me and many will hate me. god forbid anyone should face the choice that i faced be. prepared to potch it came off to she refused to concede defeat in sunday's vote election official said authoritarian president alexander lukashenko won his 6th time in office with a landslide 80 percent of the verdict took another scale one only 10 percent but has dismissed the results but fulfilling she submitted a formal demand for a recount. thousands of belarusians have also rejected the results taking to the streets for a 2nd night of protests demonstrators in minsk were met by security forces who

deployed stun grenades rubber bullets and tear gas injuring dozens of foreign officials have also expressed doubt about the election outcome. more deeply concerned by the bellary presidential election severe restrictions on ballot access for candidates prohibition of local independent observers at polling stations intimidation of opposition candidates in the detention of peaceful protesters and journalists have marred the process german officials have called for the european union to discuss 3 imposing sanctions on celebrators but for now with the backing of russia and china president lukashenko remains defiant. joining me now is the russian journalist and analyst from our. front when we spoke yesterday you actually predicted that. ok i would leave the country no she has she's in its way now but there still seems to be some confusion about why she

left finnish a lot of those. i see the repetition of the events and the 1000 presidential elections and major presidential candidates invited to keep and given the heart choice the other slot in my truck was given the choice i don't remember home to see whose nephew or sister was threatened with death or something and here with a choice either him a disc peach cobbler 50 and recognize the victory of like a shark or either the health or life of his relative something filler might happen yesterday thinks because she was held for 3 hours and they do them all central electoral commission i think it's just my idea that perhaps she was shown a video of her husband's have egypt and most perhaps beaten in the prison perhaps they threatened her that they're going to kill him or poison him or whatever and

they are saying just interrupt you there you're saying that the very emotional statement that we see in our report is a forced statement unfortunately i didn't see exactly this statement but i think that might have been it that might this there might be recorded just after she she did take this decision you know you have 2 decisions what decisions are best and you're a given you know either you'll. either you or you will continue fighting but your relatives your friends and other people are risking with their lifes. i there you were agree on compromise and you give it away and perhaps you decided to give it away and k.g.b. i think be rebellious k.g.b. is of one of the most harshest secret services in the world they know all the soviet practices how to manipulate the personality how to force anyone to do what

they want and so limited how most there was not prepared for that usury she is their english language teacher by train and you know she was a housewife 2 months ago and now when she has to decide the life of someone against you or from them or flee in somewhere of course she will take it all to save lives and it's my speculation here but for now if you are you side with the opposition is now with her the leading figure the leading candidate is the opposition now beaten so good. she used to be the symbol of this resistance and. she was waited at the streets yesterday today and tomorrow and now when she flat. out people lost their simple their brothers became totally leaderless which creates the characters and not many people will understand to from alaska and those people who wear are gifted with guns yesterday and they definitely will criticize her and

that that is the main goal of the situation the main goal of k.g.b. to divide to create the conflict between those on the streets and those resistance within the country and the leadership represented by to hamilton. fun octavia chalker thank you very much for this background analysis. the entire government of lebanon has resigned almost a week after the massive explosions that ripped through beirut prime minister hasan the opposite his cabin's departure would make possible the changes lebanon needs but as announcements has so far done little to calm protesters even as the op was speaking demonstrators were back on the streets demanding an end to the corruption which they say set the stage for last week's tragedy. a country impelling. on the streets of beirut clashes gained momentum protesters

vented their anger at thorazine palla leaders who they say are incompetent and corrupt. this scenario only reignited by last week's disaster. police try to regain control turning teague after protesters howling starns. i. could have no place to go they want the government gone i made mounting pressure it's a demand that was granted on monday. night that today we are heeding the people and their demands to hold accountable those responsible for a disaster that has been concealed for 7 years. and their desire for real change. change from the corrupt destructive state from a state of theft to a state of law and justice and transparency to

a country that respects its people. prime minister has santiago handed in his government's resignation to the president who has asked him to stay on until a new cabinet is formed the decision has been welcomed although many feel it doesn't are far enough it's a good thing that the government has resigned because at the end of the day someone needs to take accountability and this particular sponsibility for a couple was it is definitely not an. but this. might be a 1st step actually the problem is not doing a charge for the past 18 months those who wait and charge for the past 30 years the only year for us and it's for us to to get rid of them and as long as they are stated their connection would only feed their. children that anyone is in the throes of the biggest financial crisis since the civil war making a recovery from last week's disaster that much harder. one thing's clear the

resignation has done little to quell the chaos on the streets of spain rich with. some of the other stories making headlines around the world today egypt has opened a border crossing with gaza for 72 hours along people to leave the densely populated palestinian territory for the 1st time since the start of the covert 19 pandemic the rafah crossing was closed in march as authorities try to avert a major virus outbreak. russia has declared itself the 1st country to approve a vaccine against corona virus president vladimir putin made the announcement saying that one of his daughters had already received an injection the russian vaccine was developed after less than 2 months of human trials raising concerns about its safety. long lines of people of a boarded up copies of the apple daily newspaper in hong kong shows or comes a day after the papers offices were raided and it's pro-democracy on a rested under

a controversial new security law imposed by china in june. a powerful storm has swept across the u.s. midwest causing widespread damage and leaving more than half a 1000000 homes and businesses without power the storm tore through eastern nebraska iowa and parts of wisconsin and illinois several people injured. germany's foreign minister has told the us to mind its own business over a pipeline for russian gas it's our decision said heikal massa's u.s. secretary of state might pump ale began a european tour in which the pipeline is the pipeline is likely to be a cause of some friction there's already one pipeline running under the baltic sea now a new one north stream 2 is nearing completion the u.s. believes the pipeline will make germany too dependent on russian gas the project has been a major bone of contention between berlin and washington just last week u.s.

senators threatened to slap sanctions on a german ports were essential building materials for the pipeline are being stored . this ferry from the danish island of bornholm could soon be stalled by u.s. sanctions the ship is destined for muck around port and therefore has business ties with the port authority port on the island of ruben is a pivotal importance in the construction of the nord stream to pipeline 2 special russian ships are docked here once they have been equipped they're supposed to lead the final 160 kilometers of pipeline but if u.s. senators have their way the harbor management all business associates and even local authorities would be affected by the sanctions gas market expert heiko loman feels this signals that the americans are again taking drastic measures against the project. you know when going to one side in the oval the seal like under the new sanctions especially show that the american side is looking at this very closely

and is willing to impose an obstacle with every move of the project enterprise or the russian side i believe the sanctions have the potential to at least postpone the project for a very long time that was the end of that site so if its. neighboring poland also wants to hinder nord stream to it runs its own l.n.g. terminal on its baltic coast and plans to receive liquefied natural gas from qatar or norway warsaw fears that russia will further expand its power with north stream to and ultimately use it as a political weapon and economic leverage against the e.u. the us and poland together are pressuring germany to halt the project. kobo to skittles like poland and the baltic countries are fundamentally opposed to the north stream to project as it endangers energy security in central europe we hope that the u.s.

sanctions will hold of the project and that germany will return to european energy solidarity nord stream to damages european energy solidarity of the notion that with. the new sanctions could have severe economic consequences for muck around port for example if international insurers refuse to insure incoming ships. you're watching the news still to come. even james bond can be the coronavirus we meet as saddles up and rides off into the sunset because it's just real work in hollywood it's a work. first. urgent efforts are being made to pump 2 and a half 1000 tons of oil out of a grounded japanese ball carrier before it breaks up already more than a 1000 tons of fuel have washed up on the eastern coast polluting coral reefs and the shoreline. it's

a race against time thousands of residents of marriages are working around the clock their mission to prevent a 2nd disasters oil spill off the picture perfect coastline devastating for one of the world's most popular tourist destinations it's very sad for us all work the fishermen the boat men there's no work at the moment it's finished for us now. the japanese own vessel kushal ran aground 2 weeks ago carrying 4000 tons of fuel which started leaking last week the government has declared an environmental emergency conservationist call it an unprecedented catastrophe these satellite images show the enormous scale of the disaster huge stretches of pristine sea water around the ship now stained with thick oil sludge call reefs mangrove forests and tranquil lagoons all affected along with many endangered species efforts are ongoing to

empty the ship but high winds and waves are pounding the vessel experts say it could break up any time the opposition is calling for the resignation of the environment minister and many here are angry that it has taking the government so long to act. the government was acting on the advice of the company on their experts except without taking the best interest of the people are just and the best interests of of what should be done to protect our country our from its potential it was a potential spill a jab at china and gross negligence by government the spill is another blow to the tourism industry militias which is hoped this it is would return to the waters after the corona pandemic. the u.s. film industry has been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic social distancing not only mean cinemas can't function but not the movies be made especially when love

scenes of fight scenes have to be shot so many hollywood movie studios have shut down completely even more than a 100000 people out of work. this is the closest deal gets in has been to action in a while attending the cattle on his ranch north of los angeles gibson has been a stunt man in hollywood for 35 years but come on of irish means there is barely any filming anymore so great is the risk of onset infections bringing expensive productions to a halt. i haven't been on a movie. i don't know 56 months now it's been terrible all my friends are what is working so we're very lucky to have this ranch and have a little nice side income going on gibson has recently started giving rudy lessons varian back and also rents out stables but his future as a stunt man is uncertain hygene rules are currently being developed including

a 2 week quarantine before filming begins but gibson is skeptical. yeah as a stunt man fights are my bread and butter. firework mostly fights or or plain. ice specialize and save a few lines being about the idea of being a cop or whatever but yeah you know it's all intimate things are going to change. james bond himself has been thwarted by the virus no time to die is the name of his new adventure which should have had the silver spoon in april no the crimea has been postponed indefinitely. now for you is a war the release of tenet by star director christopher nolan is also on hold the blockbuster needs 80 percent of the world's film cinemas to reopen to have a chance of rick. it's $200000000.00 production cost. the dream factory hollywood is in a deep sleep most of the shooting here has stopped. around 120000 people have

lost their jobs in the american film and t.v. industries from light can join years to make up artist. shaun pazin is the head of crimson studios more than 3700 square meters are currently unused normally production companies rent this space but they are in a dilemma explained. it's a big gamble for them it's not insurable so either they hold on to things fall apart in other ways or they jump in and they could be at risk financially by shutting certain productions down due to someone getting sick or a crew member getting everyone else on the crew sick and cast included so to me we're in a very big unknown that could be very very scary. like every crisis this one has a window animated films can be produced remotely and instead of going to the cinema

and you spawn's ball to soon be arriving by a steaming service in homes around the one. film i expect scott writes for joins me this studio and i'll put this let's put this into perspective how hard is this fall it would run it's devastating i mean i've never seen anything like this and i don't think there has been a thing like this in the entire history of the film industry i mean they've gone through 2 wars and so forth and kept making movies and cinemas have still been open even when they were bombing here in berlin in the 2nd world war the cinemas were still open that's completely changed with coca-cola 19 and on the production side it's shut everything down i mean hollywood is the center of film production and it's virtually impossible to make movies there right now are people going other going to other places to continue make so many people yeah definitely and it's interesting because i mean used to be able to impress all the wood studio by telling them how big your. doc's office was now is how low your coded 1000 numbers are so countries that have very low infection rates and are dealing with the pandemic well they're tracking these movies so you have

a new zealand which is almost entirely coated 1003. james cameron is shooting the next i think for sequels of avatar this big science fiction film that i mean 200001000 he's doing for sequels in in new zealand because he can do it there he can big big movie there safely but even here in europe i mean germany's done a lot better. than some other countries the turks for a sequel to another big science fiction film they're going to be sitting here in berlin they're ready to set up they can a reeves the star is here everyone's here ready to go it will be more difficult it will be take longer because of the new safety measures and i don't measure but it is actually possible so these productions are moving elsewhere where they where they can safely shoot productions moving house where most cinemas still close so where the production is going you know that's the big question what happens after these films get made most of cinemas worldwide are still shut down but hollywood

isn't ready yet to kohli give up on cinema so you have a film like this for nolan's tennant big movie everyone is counting on it to sort of revive the industry it has a release date now is going to come out in the end of august in in the europe and then a bit later in the cumber but what people are really worried about is what disney did last week they took their film the big blockbuster and said we don't want to risk putting it in theaters we're going to put it online only and sell it directly to people over our disney plus streaming service that's a big big threat to the industry because people might get out of the habit of going to the movies at the scope of panda 10 of a keeps going and that would be a huge threat to the industry i think that would completely transform the film industry as we know it i definitely won't stop going to the movies thank you very least it's. time now for a look at some of the other developments in the coronavirus pandemic the number of confirmed. cases worldwide has passed 20000000 according to the johns hopkins university more than half of the cases are in the united states india and brazil

new zealand has which registered its 1st community corona virus infection and over 100 days with 4 people testing positive or been placed under a new lockdown due to that outbreak the us administration is reportedly considering blocking citizens and permanent residents from returning to the country if they are suspected of having the virus and there are signs that an outbreak of covert 19 in australia is victorious status subsiding with case numbers falling after a week of lockdown restrictions far club football in europe is managing to weather the coronavirus pandemic other sports outside the continent haven't been so lucky like mexico's style of mass wrestling known as lucho labrat dependent on ticket sales to stay afloat the sport has been body slams economically due to the pandemic leaving thousands of wrestlers out of work. break is a celebration of culture in mexico which draws thousands of wrestling fans like

characters straight out of a comic book the wrestlers don masks to capture the crowds imagination but no one could envision the effects coronavirus would have on the sport with all of the arenas still closed in mexico the sport remains at a standstill there's no telling when or if this electric atmosphere will ever return the bulk of these wrestlers don't have health insurance or a pension plan no wrestling means no way organizations committed to helping have provided food and other provisions for out of work wrestlers but some say that isn't enough. just for. the rest less that people need help now. we don't need to simplify. we need more we need a. sport organizers have insisted wrestlers will continue to be paid but according to some payments never reach them there are plans

to launch a format similar to a drive in movie theater to bring spectators back in the meantime some wrestlers have organized their own fights on the internet. i don't agree with those underground fights here or anywhere because i doubt they are complying with safety measures. as the movie does then we send according to the boxing and wrestling commission at least 30 mexican wrestlers have lost their lives to covert 90. you're watching the news coming up next in news asia student protesters in thailand demand a change of government and with folds to the monarchy. and shedding tears to shed stress it's a new therapy in japan and those who've tried it swayed by it. all that and more with action advantage are right after this and there's more news on the web
