stability in the food supply that we have at the moment. this is the double of years life from the opposition challenger in belarus his presidential election leaves the country to kind of sky accuses president looking schenkel of rigging sunday's result bellerive 0 opted in anger after he claimed a landslide victory in the program global coronavirus cases surged past 20000000 new infections double over 6 weeks so what more needs to be done to slow the spread

. of parishioners threatened by an ecological disaster grafted japanese time in danger of spread up breaking up and polluting even more of the pristine coast. i'm phil gal welcome to the program the opposition candidate in belarus his presidential election has left the country felt not to kind of sky has joined her children in neighboring lithuania she'd sent them that before the vote and before accusing president alexander lukashenko of rigging the result germany has called on the european union to consider imposing sanctions against bellerose u.s. secretary of state my palm post said the vote had been neither free nor fat but russian president vladimir putin has congratulated president. on his way so

a lot spent longer to come a skier had given given no hint that she was leaving the country. proud of the president on sunday in minsk for the election. by monday she was gone her whereabouts on earn her tame unable to reach her kelly now svetlana taken off scalia has reappeared with a somber message online. to set the companion. on you know 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. the opposition candidate has fled to neighboring lithuania as confirmed by the country's foreign minister taken up scios says she was not forced out of her country and the 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 many will denounce me and many will hate me. is that you but god forbid anyone should face the choice that i faced because i was here. her departure came after she refused to concede defeat in sunday's vote the election official said authoritarian president alexander lukashenko won his 6th term in office with a landslide 80 percent of the verdict took another scale one only 10 percent but has dismissed the results but full fleeing she submitted a formal demand for a recount. thousands of belarusians have also rejected the results taken 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. foreign

officials have also expressed doubt about the election outcome. more deeply concerned by the valorous out 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 fellow writers but for now with the backing of russia and china president lukashenko remains defiant all got there in dover can tell us more about this she is from the university of bremen research center for east european studies and welcome to the you let's start with this suspicions that spent long out to kind of sky was pressured into leaving the country and what do you think well it looks like in reality because. actually her team election key in the united won to the recent media that she

was taken out of the country by those in authority is not. in fact we know that he went to the central election commission to prague and claimed it means that's a vacation of elections when their shifts called for about a couple of hours and we don't know who here who should talk about and when but i've been highly possible that she was talking live the security services are now the rules and if it's true or worse then it's also possible that they tried to make psychological pressure on her anyway look how when you see how she looks at the videos there's also another video another wanted to show but show the video where she's sitting on a sofa in the building of central and actually something she thinks she's just reading something from the live search so she doesn't even look at the camera and say we're ready to head so these cases before or after the election is bellerose

and a positional candidates wait some papers their way rooting for them by the secret service so i think it's quite possible that she was just pressed and in one of her statements to kind of sky a call for the protest to cease do you think they will. oh well it's difficult to know because i mean we don't we still don't have enough information on what is happening about respect i think it's also important to understand that she was never calling for protests so all the people that we've seen on the streets and in the last 2 days there were not in the protests there were not in the streets because the housecoat called them to protest she was actually against any violence within society but people just so organize themselves also or via social media i have various telegrams channels so it's not that you cannot ask i mean and of course people who lost their leader so to say and maybe a lot of them would be. would be not satisfied with that decision approach but

anyway people understand what happened in belarus and any people are not because of her personality on the streets i mean she is not even a clue titian everybody knows that people are against such alive that they have people are against politically occasions and people just want to have a new resident and that's the. so they have the president very hard for the last 20 odd years well what will the president look at franco do next. well if anybody knew i had no idea that the things that i observed from here from germany from burnley show meant that there are no signs that could be ready for any kind of dialogue so we see more violence every day coming from the police forces in face level of violence sexual unprecedented even for better or worse belarus there's a no talk risk. have already been know you know repressions good or bad not with

very values of care and you know. what are and is blind in grants and so on like injuring people it's quite difficult the senate will say you know we thank you for that analysis so i'll go there in dover from the research center for eastern european studies at the university of probably. germany has told the us to mind its own business over its nord stream to gas pipeline from russia the german and russian foreign ministers declare the decisions to be theirs alone as u.s. secretary of state mike pompei who began the european tour in which the pipeline is unlikely to be a source of friction one life is already running under the baltic sea now a new one north street too is nearing completion the u.s. contends the new lie will make germany too dependent on russian gas nordstrom to has been a major bone of contention between washington last week u.s.

senators threaten to impose sanctions against a german port where the central building materials for the project 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 or dock here once they have been equipped they are supposed to layer 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 all the see unlike 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 as the end on its side so if its. neighboring poland also wants to hinder north 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 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. 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 halt the project and that germany will return to european energy solidarity nord stream to damages european energy solidarity. the new sanctions could have severe economic consequences for more crime port for example if international insurers refuse to insure incoming ships. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world now south in egypt which has opened a border crossing with gaza for 72 hours allowing people to leave the densely populated palestinian territory for the 1st time since the start of the covered 19 pandemic the rafa crossing was closed in march as authorities try to avert a major virus outbreak. cuba's reimposed its coronavirus lockdown after registering a record number of new care. he says nearly 100 infections were recorded on monday with the capital have the neighboring province worst hit of artists of suspended

public transport an order of people to wear masks. russia has declared itself the 1st country to register a vaccine against corona virus president putin made the announcement saying that one of his daughters had already received an injection of the russian vaccine was approved after less than 2 months of human trials raising concerns about its safety . meanwhile the number of confirmed covered 19 cases around the world has surpassed 20000000 more than half of those are in the united states india and brazil health officials believe the number of people infected is likely to be much higher as many countries especially in the developing world have only limited testing and scientists say nearly 40 percent of infected people show no symptoms let's get more on this from john campbell he's a health analyst a nurse and educator from carlisle in england welcome to day w 20000000 cases worldwide a number that has doubled in just 6 weeks so is the rate of infection around the

world increasing. well this increasing number of people becoming infected yes there's more people who are infected they're going to pass the virus on to more people so we do get this exponential growth where the acceleration in the number of cases is actually accelerating the greater the number the faster the rate of growth and i think that's what we're starting to seeing quite a few places now we've seen this for some time in the united states and as you rightly say brazil and india and russia and south africa are unfortunately not far behind as well so increasing cases in all of these areas now there has been some leveling off there's been made a lot of it's been there's been a lot of publicity about the amount of leveling off in new cases in the united states for example but this is the lead this is a leveling off in the number of new cases that are increasing so the actual cases the still a lot of cases them but the rate of increase is not quite as high as it was but

globally we are seeing many cases and as you rightly said there feel that this is this is really only the tip of the iceberg the real number of cases are going to be perhaps 10 times higher than this we know this from syria logical studies in the u.k. the office for national statistics goes out and takes a representative sample of people and they've estimated about 2.8 to 3000000 people in the u.k. have actually had coverage 19 infection right and that's way higher than the official numbers we see in these numbers around the world the u.s. brazil and india accounting for half of all cases. why is there something beyond that just being more brazilians russians and americans. yes very good question i think a lot of it is the way this pandemic started off how there was a small sort of cluster of cases and how they would dealt with in the early stages so in a sense we're paying the consequences now for what was done probably way back in january or february so for example to take an extreme case new zealand had

a small number of cases around about that time but were able to isolate the various . actively whereas in the united states there's probably a degree of denial about how serious this virus was and how transmissible it was and what sort of burden of morbidity and mortality it could carry india and brazil are probably slightly different in india and brazil although the one different continent you do have quite a lot of common problems that you have relatively poor health care infrastructure you have a lot of poor people living in fairly close environments perhaps several people or even a family living in room one room you also have quite a lot of multigenerational families as well so there's a lot of close contact drug initiative and that allows that we can number of cases to increase quite rapidly in those countries but i just want to get your reaction to today's news that russia claims to have approved a corona virus vaccine how reassured should be bay by that news briefly if you

wouldn't mind. yes i think the answer is not very reassuring i mean the u.k. in europe and the united states is being going absolutely flat out on these banks in development since since the coronavirus pandemic became an issue and we are still have only a few sample vaccines and what we call phase 3 clinical trials i think there's 4 vaccines now of phase 3 clinical trials and this means are we a large number of people with a vaccine a large number of people with the placebo and then we see how that happens now the simply has not been enough weeks and months of past to do such a study in right so you're sure it just you just haven't been the time or it's perhaps been rushed in russia for. character well you're wondering how is any question about this is the sort of the level of reassurance and validity and safety testing and efficacy testing that we would expect in western countries for a new drug or a new vaccine to come on line they simply has not been the time to do that good

talking to you that's very clear thank you so much john campbell health analyst and educator. well the coronavirus pandemic has changed the lives of students parents and teachers around the world as they've grappled with the consequences of schools being closed for months it's been a particular challenge for young people preparing to go to university some countries went ahead with exams counsel them and use different methods to assess students but opinions on how to assign grades family have diverse and that's caused a political robbing scotland for more on this we're joined by d.w. reporter pablo foley welcome pablo so tell us what happened in scope of scotland is a little bit of a mess is what's happened in scotland essentially actually in the past few minutes this afternoon we've heard the scottish government has referred to this decision which resulted in students as a result i actually had been revised down because of the way the assessment process

to work because let's not forget that in scotland they actually didn't sit exams what happened was the teachers provided you know they gave their assessment and they essentially said right this is what we think this student should get and this is the final result then they integrated as well have the school did which resulted in over 100000 students having their results graded going down and then others had their results that went up which resulted of course an outcry because many felt that it was very unfair and nicolas sturgeon the 1st minister apologized for the whole mess and actually let's hear from her 1st and then we'll discuss this a little bit further or the exams decision we reached nearly a stage is broadly the same decision the other governments in other parts of the u.k. have reached this is not uniquely scottish issue but we've listened to and have the contents expressed that we had to tear meant to try to create those and i actually think particularly tames of cases that might be in more normal times as well for

governments to act that way is perhaps something that we should welcome in cut it's more well there you have it the scottish 1st minister apologising for the way the high. all situation is being handled and of course it's the students who are the ones who are always disadvantage in these situations and the reason why they decided to go against the decision that they essentially took was they realized from from all the protests was that it was particular students from lower incomes those from minorities as well in particular who were the ones who were most affected so that what's happened there is that they feel now it's a fairer system for them to get into university but of course incredibly stressful for them they're here in germany the decision about how to students has been left up to individual states well in germany it seems to have worked a little bit better to say the least here in germany. it came down to the individual states as you said but then it was this decided that the students overall in the country would actually sit exams and funnily enough the exam results

this year went up there much higher than they have been in previous years in fact here in berlin did the best results in 10 years in bavaria as well students did incredibly well but it's not just here in germany in fact in france as well they took a different route as well they decided to look at the results of the students had in the 1st 2 thirds of the year of the school year made their assessment based on under turns out that as well in france the results went up as well quite significantly so what's happened is that students sort of despite all the disruption had less disruption at them will say they did in scotland if it will also be very interesting i didn't mention before how things work out in england students there will be getting their results later this week publicly i would think you. the operators of a japanese freighter grounded off the coast of militias are racing to pump out the ship's remaining fuel before it breaks apart more than

a 1000 tons of oil and already spilled into the pristine seas damaging coral reefs and polluting the coastline the government of the richest says it is preparing for a worst case scenario. it's a race against time thousands of residents of my riches 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 fisherman 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 a potential it was a potential spill a jab at china and negligence by government the spill is not a blow to the tourism industry militias which is hoped visitors would return to the

waters after the cover on a pandemic let's take a closer look at the cash to tyler who is director of conservation at the maria should wildlife foundation and joins us from port to do it. welcome to the w so you are island that's that's home to world renowned coral reefs what impact is the oil spill likely to have on the ecosystem well this is a major trust which is unprecedented in mergers and the impacts on the on the mayberg b. which is in the south east of the island and all the islands that are found in this be there are no less than 5 or 6 and also to the the impact on the 2 runs are sites one which is called the blue memory in part in the other called the when this me wetlands is is likely to be long lasting and quite deep if you say this is

a catastrophe explain to us what damage is being done by this oil. so fall over $400.00 tons of oil has already spread across a wide area of the south east do nearly the east of. this is an area which i was good with fisheries was coming back. on sand mining. and now there's all this oil which has stayed in this low goon for nearly 4 weeks now nearly a week and. fractionated. it's the veriest the truly nasty. now the posted on the coral reefs so we are going to look at a coral reef destruction damage and fisheries was certainly decline or will become . toxic in intoxicated right now we have them i then called the great we we've been

restoring ourselves where we are why 3 that we are going to lose vegetation and lose critically endangered birds and reptiles and this great is an area which is world renowned and is a textbook example of islanders to reach and use around the world and was you know the we pride ourselves in this been an area where we're going back 400 years in time before the arrival of the richest. and we fear the silence the greed we thank you for outlining about so clearly thank you for joining us via cash the time from the mission wildlife foundation. and i think a lot more of the day's stories from around the world starting in lebanon which is marked a week since the massive explosion that tore through its capital beirut more than 170 people were killed and $6000.00 injured when a warehouse full of ammonium nitrate blew up at the city's port prime minister has
