the freedoms that we take for granted the freedom to protest freedom of opinion. these things must be full for in bellerive i just want the people want. they should be able to achieve independently without any external interference from any side. foreign ministers' meeting in berlin have agreed to impose sanctions on senior belarus and officials accused of election fraud and a crackdown on protesters the e.u. says it wants to introduce these sanctions as quickly as possible earlier we asked russia analyst constantine eggert what if any impact those sanctions might actually have. these people who are under the thumb of alexander lukashenko some of them for 1520 is know very well that they can be claimed persona non-grata 80 times in the west. it's very clear to me that

this is a symbolic gesture that will have little or no effect on their loyalty to listen to look this is a regime which is wrong on a very very tight basis and these people are not people like russian oligarchs that limited his entourage the a much tighter controls by go so no surprises here. the e.u. foreign ministers in berlin also decided to prepare sanctions to limit turkey's ability to explore natural gas this is in response to a maritime dispute with greece in the eastern mediterranean tensions have been escalating in the region since turkey sent an exploration vessel under naval guard to begin drilling in disputed waters greece accuses on korea of illegal energy exploration france bolstered its military presence in the area in response and french and greek navies taking part in joint patrols earlier this month our

correspondent barbara valle spoke to greek foreign minister nicholas dennett us about the dispute. miss it you had a foreign policy success at this miniseries meeting in berlin the e.u. is willing now to consider sanctions against turkey can you let us know the details well i would not consider this success for us we consider the success for a common european family the fact is that in the southeast somebody there in yemen we are facing turkish aggression turkish legal behavior behavior which goes against international law and international law of the sea so within our family we would have agreed and that in case too it does not come back to its senses does not come back to the process of dialogue and process according to if the respect of international law international law for she is paramount sanctions have to be the

order of the day but it's what has been agreed do you think that greece and maybe the european union should have intervened earlier is this something that you missed should things have been taking a bit harder early in the game when you have to say it's going towards the view each of those who read as they viewed saw the statements as you know we have the next of them blushed we can be generous thanks to the couplings of it to seep in maybe the greek up to me but for this coalition has been avoided but they had to say that the problem is the turkey does not understand the limits and the remove their limits are open to the limits of all international law international of the sea and i have to say that if there is a mistake in the part of the union if there is a mistake in the bottles ignited states is that they have not spoken to turkey with a clear enough language but i think after today's meeting these could be put to more so what do you find anything should happen with greece you're willing to sit

down at the negotiating table somewhere maybe in stockholm and talk to turkey was all parties involved 'd and figure out is to do. figure out in agreement with everyone we can do that as well but we have to have to research references and what are the terms of preferences for discussion it's clear international law international see and over to you for me respect of human rights because those 3 issues treat you about human rights but get that if they're to come to an understanding with you you know with greece with cyprus we would be better for $300.00 but if you're going to miss that then yes thank you fareed thank you so much thank you. in japan shinzo abbay has announced his resignation as prime minister citing health reasons the 65 year old has been suffering a recurring intestinal illness as japan's longest serving premier abbay sought to

stance abbay loosened a ban on arms exports and in 2015 his party pushed through controversial legislation for so-called collective self-defense. allowing japanese troops to engage in overseas combat with allied forces. the law drew strong opposition domestically and a later push to revise the pacifist constitution failed. aves military reforms and containment diplomacy have upset china its largest trading partner. allies like u.s. president donald trump have confronted china with sanctions but avi's had to find the balance between competing and cooperating with china despite his radical security ambitions needle his successor will likely also have to thread.

day after offices allegedly killed a 16 year old boy with down syndrome. this was not fun you know julius is home just meters away from where he was shot. was there and then called and went over and they just shot you. just like this one included the back of the ferry and drove off the bed of one of the hospital and just told the doctors that it was courting across my it was a gang so i didn't let you go for it's all to write a book but there was no fighting there was only one gunshot it went off and it was the god shot that killed the daniel. 100 stick to the streets of johannesburg suburb eldorado park to demand justice and condemn police violence. how did it all that they know he's got no foodstuff people actually knows what the police are shooting here at the fritz at your peril he mailed out

a part. and i think it was shot on the bottom of the bed that's how he would make this shot with. demonstrators burned tires and barricaded roads and. that they were met with live fire from the police i mean david mentioned using it against those 2 men to be wrong and. police say they're investigating how nathaniel julius was killed but residents here are convinced it's the police who are to blame and calling for the arrest of the officer responsible. and he. joins me from johannesburg had a 2 so there are any gay sions that police try to cover up this shooting tell us more about that they're going to have to do visions for more the police are telling us and what their residents in fact saying the residents are saying the young boy was killed when police were questioning him and police just from knowing the short

to a resort in india that turned to fish farming after the guests stop showing up. the good luck of the show i'm stephen beers in blood it's good to have you with us japanese prime minister shinzo his resignation on friday citing health reasons few leaders of developed countries have put their personal stamp on economic policies like the father of a big nomics which called for big government stimulus to crank up the economy hope to pull japan out of its perennial deflation trap and yet he leaves the country mired in one of the worst economic crises in decades. 7 years 8 months that's how long she was in office longer than any other prime minister in japan when he announced his resignation citing health reasons be focused on the crippling effects of the pandemic on the country's economy which shrank almost 28 percent in the 2nd quarter so how will things shape up without the markets reacted

to the news of his resignation with pessimism initial report so the nikkei index dropped 2 point one percent by close of trading it was still 1.4 percent down and the mood on the streets of tokyo. he said that there are no i'm surprised he looked really tired but i didn't think he would resign i wish he could work harder and stay on in office a bit longer. i've been wanting him to resign for a long time that. he is a controversial figure in japan partly because of his emphasis on his public image in 2012 he introduced an ambitious economic program naming it unabashedly after himself was sort of worked with have been all makes i will increase jobs and revitalize the countryside while making citizens' livelihoods better. other nomics was about easing monetary policy the japanese central bank cranked up the money press flooding the market with fresh new notes they were also credit financed

economic stimulus packages initially the program did increase confidence both in the economy and among the japanese population but the risks of i've been omics soon became clear the program over leveraged the economy to the point of sovereign bankruptcy and led to a loss of confidence on capital markets an already struggling japanese economy was then hit with the effects of the coronavirus with abby out of the picture it's up to someone else to pull japan out of the mess. so what is the final verdict on the other nomics professor geoffrey kingston as head of asian studies at temple university japan and he told the business earlier today that the approach saw more failures than successes. i think he was good in terms of its promote each retrain he cut a deal with the he he also rescued p.p. but what didn't work he never delivered on structural rate floor which were the 3rd

era nomics was are supposed to improve productivity he never delivered a woman aman's he said he was going to help women shine but that hasn't happened right over to the u.s. now $9.00 trillion dollars as of friday morning the market value of the american tech sector stec sector rather was greater than the value of all european stocks that's according to see in d.c. citing analysis by bank of america tech stocks have been rallying for weeks with companies like facebook google parent alphabet and amazon all benefiting from a pandemic that keeps more people at home that in turn has pushed market indexes into record territories. all right our financial correspondent yens korda is standing by in new york for more on this is it so simple as the pen demick is that why all these stocks are surging right now. well it's part of why stocks were

on fire in the tech industry i'm standing your in times square by the way right around the corner of the ticket change and nest egg we just got numbers from as you look back at for instance another tech company and they were saying that before the pandemic about 12122 p.c.'s were seen per household now basically every member of a household has a p.c. and all those digital companies yes they do profit from the pandemic but on the other side what we're also seeing on platforms like robin hope for example we have a younger crowd trading stocks and they love to buy stocks like f l for instance or also from tesla but it's really incredible i mean in 2007 ok so i got some company here so in 2007 european stocks were 4 times more worse then us tech stocks so now the whole thing converted. it's like you have some company there behind you

. there are concerns about tech dominating too much on the stock exchanges and the perhaps that's in balancing everything what can you really tell us about that. well i clearly see that as a risk to what might happen to the stock prices in the near future if you look at the for example by now in the s. and p. 500 just 5 big tech names apple amazon google facebook and microsoft are they make more than 20 percent of the entire market capitalization of the s. and p. $500.00 still from the $500.00 biggest companies so if we might see a certain reversal in that trend so let's say something positive happens on the health front what we all wish for and if we see some tech sector rotation that could mean a real pressure if investors all of a sudden might pull some money out of the tech stocks sold to me it's a bit unhealthy by the way let's. see what's going to happen on monday that's when

apple and tesla so some stocks are really have been on fire will do their stock splits oh well the beginning of the next week could be interesting in that respect already got to get this idea of tech caring all the way up and then it can also be dealt with his perspective from new york thank you very much. all right and staying on the tech scene we've been reporting on social media sensation to talk in its recent troubles a ban in india a threatened ban and for sale in the u.s. elsewhere in the world the app is not only in prime position but it's seeing incredible growth but is it enough here's a report from southeast asia. 19 year old son disappeared is kind of a big deal his fashionable features and ability to pick out of beat have helped him become one of indonesia's most successful tick-tock stars a year ago he had 30000 followers now he has 10000000 now but one thing

when you and that is anything one piece of content i created was a video in titled no hands it contained some hand motions that were mimicked by a lot of people and it hit 1000000 viewers in a week. sandy is a member of a young population in indonesia the country's average age is 30 this makes it a key target market for to talk as is the rest of southeast asia from a mobile. this coming. up. tick tocks presence in indonesia hasn't been problem free it was briefly banned in 2018 for hosting inappropriate content and parent company bite stands was accused of censoring its indonesian news up plus the control the sea in the us in india has got stars like sun disappear tra worried they're going to lose their main

platform. but in southeast asia the reality is that like sandy's fan base is only growing. all right now let's look at some of the other global business stories making headlines for hundreds of chilean truck drivers are striking for better security conditions in the country's southern region of law. they claim indigenous groups wanting the return of and land have been attacking their vehicles along the highways strikers blocked major freeways allowing only private cars and trucks hauling essential items to pass by. australia says it is disappointed in a chinese ban on a 5th beef supplier in china imposed the band after claiming it had found traces of growth hormone in a call in b. from the company beijing insists the latest decision has nothing to do with broader trade relations between the 2 countries. are let's go over to india and it's no

fish tail resort in the country need a new source of revenue once they get shot away during the pandemic they look no further than the swimming pool carolyn sunshine is what normally attracts people from around the wound to the evader resort but this year the pool isn't full of european tourists it's full of fish. they've been helping the hotel to survive since the collapse of global travel back in march there was no 2. and by the 4th of march there was a lot thus we gave up on the radio fish farming because of having one of the biggest swimming pools in this region. splashing about in the 7000000 liters of water a 16000 postponed fish they're popular food in southern india and the middle east the resort owners are hoping to make enough money from them to cover their bills
