a prominent opposition leader has been abducted by unidentified people in the capital minutes the website to drop the y. says that maria cullen iscove was pushed into a minivan by a men in black clothing and driven away she seen here at a massive protest rally held on sunday more than 600 people were arrested at the demonstration protesters have turned out for the past 4 weeks calling on longtime authoritarian leader alexander lukashenko to step down after a contested election. let's bring in the deputy correspondent nick connelly's who is standing by with the view from minsk and nick witnesses say that kolesnik also was bundled into a van what do people in minsk think happened. well this seems to be a continuation of the government's stress g.o.p. attempt to deny ability not using police in uniform to do these kind of things

sending out security agents either in plain clothes sometimes wearing balaclavas sometimes on the batons to do their dirty work as it were yesterday we saw that happening with detentions at the end of the demonstration i was just standing on the street and suddenly students were running past running for cover into cafes in shopping centers sometimes these people in plain clothes following them as a classic of a well we understand she was in the downtown here means on her way to the post office because legal documents as part of some court cases against her when suddenly that van stopped and pulled her in this is so far based on the testimony of one eyewitness who didn't take any pictures of her being arrested herself and i think it was team hasn't been able to reach a few hours they do believe this is a situation interesting enough police here interior ministry denying any official detentions so for now they're not willing to own up to these arrests remind us of what role she has been playing in the protests. well medically sicko is one of 3 women who really set the election campaign on fire.

earlier this summer the other being said logic and also who ventured was the presidential candidate was then forced to flee. and there's also a 3rd woman but i think it's a caller who is now in poland somebody because he was the only one basically who hasn't taken the hint from the government he had to leave the country he was basically forced them to detain her now by refusing to be edged out of her own country as so many of the opposition figures have she has also been involved in the founding of a new party but i think that early early early days of that kind of thing now at the moment this is about the symbolism of these protests coming. we got the week and she said you want the most recognizable and most competent face of those protests even if those protests are happening without kind of an obvious will deny station or you got indeed coming out week after week i mean we saw sunday morning huge protests but yet we have the single building firm what is now going to happen and what is next for the opposition. i'm

sorry there is no road map to this this is a country basically that had no politics of the possible to the century where one man decided on everything and now suddenly you see people totally agusta the fact that politics is on everyone's lips you sit in cafes on the street and you hear young people old people talking about the lakes arrest talking about the government p.r. stunts with a look cinco out in front of the presidential palace in military gear with an unloaded gun no one has any clue where this is going but you didn't get the sense that the government threats are now working people are not going to be scared and not going to go back and sit at home and let you decide all this one thing they tell you time time again is there are just so many of us they call put us all the way so some feeling of safety in numbers but definitely worry now heading into this week as this clampdown seems to be happening and being carried out day to day so interesting to hear about that happens fear and that sense of solidarity there nic connelly with the view from minsk thank you so much for your reporting. said let's

have a look at some other stories making news around the world. at least 5 people are missing after a powerful typhoon swept across parts of japan and south korea i said was the 2nd typhoon to hit the 2 countries in as many weeks prompting mass evacuations and knocking out power to thousands of homes. almost $300.00 rohinton refugees have landed in indonesia after an estimated 6 months at sea the group is thought to have set sail from southern bangladesh around the end of march after fleeing persecution in myanmar or malaysia and thailand refused to let the refugees land. founder julian assange has resumed his london court battle to avoid extradition to the united states the u.s. government wants to bring a songe to trial over wiki leaks publication of secret u.s. military documents a decade ago the extradition hearing hinges on whether a song just actions are considered journalists. and you commission president

arcilla funder line has warned the u.k. to respect its withdrawal agreement with the block or risk any future trade partnership her treat comes after british prime minister boris johnson issued an october 15th deadline for a deal or pull the u.k. out of talks now reports also say that his government is preparing legislation that would override already agreed parts of the withdrawal agreement a dramatic reversal after years of dialogue. it's not 12 months since british prime minister boris johnson the unlikely deal from the jaws of defeat after a long negotiations with the european union. are do you think that this deal represents a very good deal barry for the e.u. and for the u.k. in interviews heat praise on his hard work. what you heard of is

a fantastic deal for all of the u.k. at heart the deal would prevent an internal border in ireland no his government has found fault with the details and is reportedly planning to tear up parts of it a move that could see borders return jeopardizing peace in the region ireland's foreign minister said unilaterally reneging on a treaty would be a very unwise way to proceed coming at the start of a crunch week for trade talks the e.u.'s chief negotiator told french radio he was concerned because but you. know what can i see today i remain worried it's not the last round of breaks in negotiations that are starting this week we have other runs in late september and in october i went to london again last week so these are difficult negotiations because the british want the best of 2 worlds in a way. to get the u.k.'s health minister insisted a deal was still achievable the question is whether we can whether we can land

a long term future trade agreement and i'm confident that we can. johnson won reelection last december on a promise that he could build goes his way to breaks it a strategy that proved popular at home but me yet undermined britain standing abroad. and her more i am joined from brussels by correspondent gave our matus tell us can the u.k. just read it was for all a brave man. why an international law of course the u.k. has an obligation to honor any agreement that it has signed and it would be really taking things to a new level if that were not to be the case so it wasn't on the line the head of the european commission here in brussels trusts that the u.k. will honor this agreement that has specifically been made in order to make sure that northern ireland does not become

a bargaining chip but trust actually is the issue now something that is evaporating if you want by the minute and if the u.k. a wants to achieve a deal with the e.u. it is trust what it needs also by the way for other trade deals it wants to achieve with other countries throughout the world so given the circumstances where does that leave the e.u. well on the positive side we have to acknowledge that the feeling to push things so there's so these feeling for speed in the negotiations is something the e.u. very much shares michel barnier the chief exit or the chief negotiator for a new deal with the u.k. rather has said a number of times now the clock is ticking so here both parties have actually are now in the in the same side of the court the bigger problem really is that and then from a brussels perspective that is the problem is that the u.k. which is once too much and the feeling here is that they are now trying to raise the leverage by bringing back northern ireland watering down something that already

been resolved in order to raise the stakes what they hope to get from the negotiations talk with us a little bit more about that georg about what this could mean for that border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland because it has been one of the major sticking points. it is a complicated issue but 2 things here are basically at stake on the one hand it's peace in northern ireland and the other thing is economic prosperity and the internal the integrity of the internal market of the european union the issue in northern ireland is that you have an open border between northern ireland which belongs to the u.k. and the republic of ireland which belongs to the e.u. and so far both countries being inside the us result a lot of problems now with the u.k. withdrawing this could turn into a hot border and it could stir not just political conflict but also in danger and economic prosperity project that so far has delivered for both sides and that is

something the e.u. had agreed with the u.k. to preserve this and that is not something apparently the u.k.'s prepared to water down mattison brussels thank you. well all this week we are looking back at events of the summer of 2015 when germany took an unprecedented number of migrants fleeing war and economic hardship in their home country is now in response to the long tracks of people making their way across greece and the balkans chancellor angela merkel declared an open door policy for refugees from syria in early september more and more trains with migrants arrived in germany from eastern europe they were given a warm welcome at least initially at stations across germany people cheered the new arrivals handing them chocolates and other gifts there was an atmosphere of solidarity people donated clothes others hand tools now back then many germans

wanted to help the migrants start a new life in the country we caught up with a group of volunteers in berlin who came together in those days and who continue to help migrants and refugees navigate what has become a new country and a new culture. volunteer diana henriques is doing her best to explain german bureaucracy to a migrant from yemen she's an expert in migration law but the neighborhood initiative she works for was overwhelmed when thousands of refugees arrived in berlin back in 2015. my country felt like we were in a trance we took on everything that came our way but you can't see that we were ready for what happened it was an american city humanitarian emergency. the refugees arrived with nothing of no words in a live nothing to each and spoke virtually no german. christiane of backman from the same neighborhood initiative set about trying to organize things.

when the a moment we're here i knew that i couldn't just walk away people who were hungry one day were going to be hungry the next women who were pregnant one day would also be pregnant the next i knew that from the start. both the volunteers work full time at the community center which depends on donations some of those who arrived in 2015 are also involved helping to ensure that today's asylum seekers have an easier time of it. most fled from syria 5 years ago after his hand was blown off by a bomb now he works as an interpreter. it doesn't matter where you live people need help i used to get messed about because i didn't speak the language. that's why i became a translator. i decided i had to improve my german help others. and the mission and

. it's not been an easy transition and the plight of the refugees has had an emotional impact on the volunteers. when i would hold off on it see it is if a mother may have lost 4 children at sea in the mediterranean telling her story over and over again and a mother who wants to help may not be able to cope emotionally despite counseling and the other alternatives available that it's important to stop and pass on the bats and to someone else it digital fished up by. most of the volunteers do carry on although that already challenging work is increasingly made even more difficult by interference from outside. or joy and euphoria soon pass when you're threatened by extreme right wingers we often get threats sent to us by letter or email or on the phone it's exhausting and quite honestly the job

is no fun anymore. but the volunteers say giving up is not an option their work is not yet finished. and here in berlin pro migration activists and regional mayors are drawing attention to the plight of refugees with a protest outside of the german parliament they set up 30000 chairs on the lawn in the front of the reichstag each one represents a refugee living in the morea migrant camp in greece the organizers say that they want to underline the willingness of several german towns to take in more refugees and offer basing of the german interior ministry has ignored. and i'm joined now by political correspondent leigh only for how much time who is at the rice building we only tell us a little bit more about this protest action. yeah activists have been here since 7 in the morning to set up the 13th i was in tears he said

that you can see behind me they're meant to symbolize the inhabitants of the morea refugee camp on the greek island of les paul's a camp that was originally built for 3000 people in our houses 13000 it was seen as 1st confirmed coronavirus case just a couple of days ago and activists are calling to evacuate this camp immediately they're also saying we have space the protesters organize under the mosques are we have space signaling the readiness of communities all over germany mayors to signal jobs to take in refugees and migrants. joined by one of the spokespersons organizing initiatives off this protest lone who is from the social movement ziegler curry. you've been to more yourself you organized the trip in the february with several mayors wanted to draw attention to the plight of that refugee camp

this case has been on the agenda for quite some time now why organize this protest now because the situation is worsening every day that means we don't. and have any time to do this and we think it's important to remember those people and to bring it up on the political agenda again and to say and to demand the immediate equation of the people living in the moment. visit to asia has been gratified in february it's even worse now also in the context of coronavirus you went to moria with a couple of mayors from german cities they have signaled their readiness to take in refugees and migrants why isn't that happening since 2 years actually already now and germany want to support a tease and city say they are ready to take in more refugees but the government to german government is doing nothing they took in like about 200 refugees we have much more space we have empty places where people could be needed to live and we have cities to say they're ready that means we need more pressure on the government

that they finally accept those people and that diminished capacity is actually taken more refugees the german government itself has said it wanted to take in a 1000 refugees including children why isn't it more happening at the moment what is stalling the progress i think the political will is the missing in a way because we have it from this civil society stand we have like hundreds of protests and we have the city saying they're ready but nothing is happening so for me that the political will is missing and we need to make make more pressure so this is finally going to happen and what are you hoping that will come out of this protest today a big discussion again and more pressure on the government so they finally you take in more refuges and save lives. thank you from the social movement. who has organized this protest today learning from how much time at the right building the seat of the german parliament thank you so much for your reporting there. for

back to school time for much of the waltz of the corona virus has of course made returning to class as a challenge almost everywhere we asked our correspondents around the world to tell us how schools reopening are going on in their country. it was a mix of nerves and excitement as the kids at this east london high school headed back for the 1st time since munch the teachers here tell me they're ready with stock at class times social distancing measures and one way systems but for the older students in particular the right back to the classroom it hasn't been easy schools here are reeling from a series of chaotic government u. turns which left many kids over the summer facing days of uncertainty about how their results would be awarded the canceled exams and this new school year isn't bringing back any more stability teachers here say many kids a month behind on the learning they're warning that the knock on effects could take

that toll for some time to come despite a news search of coronavirus case this strain every open in the states even if it doesn't look like it is actually a nursery school behind me it's no cages in the beautiful park and i was very happy when we ran for him some days ago that our son got a place there to happiness with a feeling of uncertainty the government came up with another measure and some days to go about haven't had any time to react to at least it's going to be parents meeting in some days and we will hopefully find out more about how our son's 1st days of school look like during the prime time students are back in school throughout the whole of china including more han where the epidemic has started. students need to wear masks there are social distancing measures staggered schedules but otherwise schools are supposed to go back to their normal curricular schools colleges and other educational institutions continue to remain. but the government has allowed the file back some of them by the end of this month but

online classes and other related. competitive examinations which take place in the country every. year in uganda. schools remain closed what you see here is a reflection of what's happening across the country right from elementary level to university level classes remain close the government is not sure what we need to reopen schools now especially with the rising cases of. now many teachers of already lost their jobs while you're on the government trying to introduce lessons of radio and television but sustaining that became a challenge so many families however it did describe 2020. years now we're heading to the world of tennis mark meadows is here to tell us

about some big drama at the u.s. open we have the favorite novak djokovic disqualified what happened here was very dramatic it was yeah he was playing. in the last 16 he just lost his serve so he was a bit annoyed and he took a boy out of his pocket and he worked it behind him and unfortunately it hit a line judge now she was hit in the front he went along to the comforter but no one was really happy with the situation he spoke to the officials they said i'm sorry you can't do that you're disqualified pleaded with them a little bit and then accepted it and went off but what a way to go out of the tournament so so strange i mean he was the red hot favorite for the title because rafa nadal is indeed new york because of the coronavirus he did. want to travel roger federer is also injured he was looking for his 18th grand slam title which have put him one behind and 2 behind federer's record of 20 and instead he goes out in well almost unprecedented style given how shocking it is what's been the reaction well he has said sorry we have to say that and it was only

intentional we can look at a tweet he actually posted saying story where he said this whole situation has left me really sad and empty i checked on the lines person in the tournament told me thank god she is feeling ok i am extremely sorry to have caused such stress but the world of tennis sort of said no it was right he should have been chucked out of the tournament because it was reckless it was a ball travelling at speed it's not like john mcenroe in the old days we used to smash his racket on the floor you know it was it was like a myth really. but it's been a very strange year for doc of it's generally not lost a match until this game but. we had over controversies in june when you had the tour which he said of himself because there was no protests at that time. social distancing wasn't observed and he got the coronavirus and there was over criticisms of all the partying going on at the tournament in the balkans and then he also made some comments about vaccinations coming out sort of against nations which also got

a lot of criticism so yeah a pretty strange year for mr joke of it absolutely so he's going to wait now well it's wide open now with our joke of each without federer nadal it means we will have a new grand slam champion at the u.s. open next sunday my tip is the 5th seed alexander of germany he's looking very good and it will be the 1st time since 2016 the u.s. open in 2016 whenever of the big 3 have won the title so it's very interesting but the big star is i don't salute mark meadows from sports thank you. well after a dramatic drop in visitor numbers just the pen demick venice has shown that it can still draw a crowd hundreds of spectators line to the banks of the famous grand canal for the annual historical work got up to watch growers and gondoliers paddle the waterways in historical costumes the event dates back to the 13th century and is billed as

one of venice as most beautiful traditions reason enough for tourists and locals to turn out despite virus restrictions. a quick reminder of the top story that we're following for you this hour on your games with reports from bella brucia that a prominent opposition leader of a real cult called let me call that has been seized by unidentified people in the capital minutes she's part of the nearly month long protest movement calling on the long time phillip terry and leader alexander in the shankill to resign. e.u. commission president ursula on the line has warned the u.k. to implement. the exit the bronx it was strong the great mentor risk and the future trade partnership earlier british prime minister more strong some said that the u.k. would pull out of future talks if a deal cannot be reached by october the i. know it's going to go green is on the go to sell on top of google play or from the outside world to

everyone with a conscience. next. beethoven in this deep deep deep doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo. it is it is about a 60. 9 my g.p. the true genius of rock n roll up. so many rubber bands of stolen beethoven. or of course the subconscious always one thing is clear the beethoven just wildly popular.

t.v. i see a sure shot at the market. but how would the world sell without the biggest composer of all time i can't even begin to imagine a world class horn player single willis on a musical journey of discovery. world without beethoven starts september 16th on the w. . life has come to be defined by. boston. and. given that this is a fact how do we strike a balance with the environment we live in over the next half hour that's what we

tried one back. coming to you from my neighborhood in mumbai green consciousness which was once the domain of very few people is now a trendy lifestyle choice among many. weddings for example which is a huge and glitzy affair in india also joining this bad bad in some parts of the country and all the good lord in bangalore is making sure not only unforgettable memories but also save the environment of the process. of. these special wedding flowers were brought from the local flower just around the corner and back instead of importing them. they are a small part of wedding planner. efforts to reduce the carbon emissions from the transport to create

a more environmentally friendly indian wedding. since the leap on began her career she's not just a significant shift in what couples now want on their perfect. so i have been doing this for about 6 years now when i started this i have always been conscious of the choices that they are making so have tried to implement it here and there and sometimes clients didn't know and we did inform them that by going to choose something different so i would say probably about 30 percent of the 6 years ago probably less so i guess 20 percent wanted something but now i'm surprised myself to see so many people coming forward saying that they want to be. so i would see probably like about 70 to 75 percent people are kind of conscious and want to perfect the things. traditionally indian families celebrate marriage with pomp and show up a wedding is a display of wealth and tradition. while there is an encouraging green trend among

urban indians delete and says it comes with a lot of challenges. people always thing that an eco friendly wedding is equal to being cheap so that has been a challenge trying to get people away from that concept of eco friendly being cheap so there are many different aspects for an eco friendly wedding it can be a simple thing as having people or see people already going to distil invite for the invites at your give your guests even just a simple thing like having chalkboard for your statement then getting a flex printed which is again a one time use in terms of your trousseau as well i would recommend probably using for one they went out of this your grandmother's out of your mother's wedding starting probably to some jewelry years ago. said months who is another green entrepreneur and ballio. she founded venice s a t's 0 waste shop. she says that duction is trendy but it isn't a new concept in the country. traditionally we used to live in

a very easy to list we in india and i think in a lot of. this horse who is narrative that honestly don't need to buy a western rhetoric. and i think essentially it's going to be used to do with it's not that normally so i think it is can be very accessible it can be very are my be very average and indian. so if it can be for everyone and it's just about making these small little microlight choices and then it just adds up. month sudan's workshops on the weekends to improve accessibility and get the community talking and thinking about reducing waste. she also publishes the d.i.y. ideas online with the idea that small changes can drive a big movement. i think sometimes gets a bad rep about being too expensive or inaccessible and that's why we do all of these talks and workshops so honestly we. just need

a kitchen or your backyard and you can mostly make a lot of these products within like 20 rupees. but the idea is essentially you know to make it just even accessible so that's a very transparent about address abuse it all on our websites if you want to make it yourself or you go for it because the ultimate aim is just for less waste to be end up in a landfill and alshon i'm optimistic that it's going to really change automation to good waste. and sustainability of the. eco friendly living is often seen as a privilege of the rich but with entrepreneurs like the leap on championing small steps and improving people's access to green ideas indian consumers have increasing opportunities on their doorstep. let's take the example of our rising energy needs. as an emerging nation with the world's 2nd largest population the soaring demand for energy is in ever to build in india most of this demand is

met by burning fossil fuels to be who the government is pushing more and more people to buy into the promise of valuable energy like solar power the actual switch is a very tedious process. building contractors hard work has paid off in 2015 he bought a house where his family of 4. it's a big house complete with modern kitchen and air conditioning. the electricity bill is around $10000.00 rupees a month over $100.00 euros. to save money he decided to make the switch to renewables. we had heard of the government's solar dog and we wanted to contribute also i saw my neighbor mr go had also installed the roof top solar system in his house that's where i got the idea of installing one in my house system and. his 200

square meter roof is ideal so she'll share my installed a rooftop solar system and 2018 it meets the household and energy needs. india is home to a growing urban middle class experts say that of the trend continues the country's birth capital and energy consumption is set to quadruple. in wasn't of. course and. all. of this energy comes from you know 70 percent of. total and. just. guesses so if this is to remain in the future. in mind also means that orderable amount of energy coming from. this means that.

greenhouse gas emissions. officially the government is backing an energy transition it has set a target of 100 gigawatt installed capacity of solar energy by 2022 off h 40 gigawatt will come from rooftop solar systems that's the equivalent output of 10 large coal fired power plants but so far it's achieved only fraction of this target. the steel is all for you know the struggle it was it was and it was russian companies are using the. grounds. as it is. you know if you use process or rationing so that when it comes to violence the. level of personal consumers in the segment. and the banks earlier in. the company my son specializes in rooftop solar panel systems it also helps clients navigate the people work involved. the indian state subsidies the

installation but the country is still a long way from reaching its clean energy targets. the real revolution of solar with only come when people like you and i are businesses are those buildings industries corporates hotels everyone starts using solar because everyone has roofs i mean. so you have millions of buildings. or you have buildings you have potentially a space for a solar setting up a solar power project for so she'll share mine the investment was worth it in the last 2 years his 7 kilowatt solar panel system has produced 22000 units of electricity. was most of the biggest benefit for me was that of the cost of a piece $4.00 and a half lakh i was able to pay in installments of a piece. sometimes my legacy bill would be worth more than that i didn't have to pay anything extra and made this shift for free. as india's middle class continues

to grow the country's energy demand is soaring especially in the cities but if more families switch to renewables as the show must have done india's broad want to be at the expense of the environment. a great idea often needs the right time to come to fruition for bicycle enthusiastic london that's right time proved to be the only set of the pandemic the don't know why this crisis has meant fewer cars and a lot more bikes on the city's streets and this could help make a big policy push towards turning london into a bicycle friendly city. the cycle is too long to pass to be quite comforting. when you work with the road one days if you are a competent cyclist is not really much of a problem but you have to be going to more or less the speed of the truck for a new presence on the road has to be quite strong. philip jones and rides his bike

everywhere he cycle some 20000 kilometers e.-m. . caltech finished films and his family are pleased that more and more londoners are discovering the joys of cycling. that will cycling enthusiast from the time they were young children broke their bikes to school. that's still something of an oddity in london but that could soon change. in school. for advancing get people cycling. the next generation i mean the definitely be more confident that on the buy a person would think they should just go ahead and close 50 percent. side streets just close to cause don't need to go on 50 percent so give us access to everybody. cause as much as possible. those kinds of demands get under this taxi drivers will riled up the city's cabbies are among scientists grace's critics.

who don't get rid of all the. they would and then uses the traffic at the moment is terrible subvocal using. roads or whatever making more cycle lines is just going to make the traffic even worse study dress because half the people who saw it drag the marmot don't know the high white collars and the small percentage of the highlight charge. so the should be some sort of a test for cyclists and yet london's in a city is currently swarming with bicycles as the qur'an the crisis in a new age of mentality. cyclists now have some powerful supporters behind them there will be a huge amount of planning going into helping people to get to work other than by mass transit and i this will be i hope and about my writing for a while as a former secretary of transport i would agree this is should be

a new golden age for cycling but they must act fast when commuters return on mass and won't be enough buses or trains to accommodate them and it hits a social distancing missions if even a small percentage of these commute to start using cars instead london will be fixed with 10 children. the temptation to get into medical will be very very strong and understandable so i think we've got a short window of time to reach out to both the politicians and to the public to say there is a better way of to. manage the city london's financial district is leading the way . down. the debt and access is restricted to prices and bikes only. and sidewalks are being widened to give pedestrians more room. and in some residential districts streets are being close to 3 traffic drivers are having

to find other groups. all. off. this just in these few weeks was an amazing opportunity to connect a lot of the unconnected parts to the local councils on board to get the local roads facing the board so i could do to stop this through universal. during the corona crisis london fields have become more like bike friendly amsterdam. philip johnson and his family hope it will stay that way though this new golden age for cycling seems almost too good to be true. when the cycle i'm find struck eastern india in me 2020 the world heritage site of the sunderbans wasn't spared located in the bay of bengal it constitutes the largest mango for the us and is at the receiving end of many mental calamities

local communities are now putting their heads together to find long term sustainable solutions to improve the living conditions in a place they call home. like then unpin had barely come and gone when help arrived in the sunderbans. volunteers from the quarantine students network set up pumps to expel the salt water that had collected in the fish ponds. the immediate aim of the emergency assistance was to enable locals to return to fish farming and also prevent an outbreak of disease. public. health and hygiene are seriously destructive here and need to be restored stagnant water is dangerous as it can lead to gastro intestinal diseases as well as skin conditions and then there is the often ignored issue of snakebite snakebite. this fish farmer however no

longer sees a future here for herself and her family. what can we do we are dependent on relief.
