a secret inauguration alexander lukashenko was sworn in as president for a 6th term the ceremony was not public there was no televised coverage all a continuation of the government's crackdown on dissent however the secret today it got out fairly quickly the country's opposition called for nationwide civil disobedience on top of what has been almost 2 months of nonstop demonstrations tens of thousands of people demanding that lukashenko resign demanding a free and fair election the woman who ran against go in last month's election today called the secretive inauguration a farce slit lunna the hound of skye was forced to flee bella ruse after the election she has made public appeals to the european union to help the forces of democracy in bello roofs on monday the e.u. failed to agree on sake sions against lukas shakos administration undaunted slight

lama scalia today declared herself the legitimate leader of the roofs of the real present. that i develop rescinds today look at china hold his own inauguration in secrets from the nation and we all understand what has happened it was an attempt to proclaim himself the illegitimate leader which only means that his previous monday suspended all the nation hasn't given him a new mandate ice atlanta tisha north sky and the soul leader elected by the better is seen people and our common goal now is to build a new better ruth. are those pulling our correspondent nic connelly he is in the capital. for us tonight but he needs a unit this secret inauguration it did not remain a secret very long as we have seen has it triggered more protests and i wonder has it strengthen the resolve of the opposition. well there were

a few hours brant where you got the sense that everyone was just shocked no one could actually believe that this was happening this seemed like a dress rehearsal there wasn't much urgency about it i certainly just heard the roads go silent but you know roads being shut down a settlement is no rarity these days in the capital some people had seen uniforms dress uniforms on soldiers in the capital but no one could imagine that he would pull this off without foreign dignitaries to add legitimacy to the event without the russians not even the russian ambassador was there and extraordinary that those $700.00 people all top officials in the regime managed to keep a secret no one releasing information no one letting out about this event but it definitely seems to have changed the tone people were very anxious today but angrier than i've seen them in the last few weeks just appalled that after weeks of refusing to talk to what are called the streets and people he accuse of being agents of foreign countries he has now gone one stage further and proclaimed himself president and we also saw the western world reacting countries from germany

poland even ukraine saying that he is no longer the legitimate president of and they want treatment such you know the optics of this secretive inauguration they certainly were not good nick from the outside it looks like an admission of guilt by the mission that his election victory was indeed fraudulent what do you say about that. i mean this is definitely a regime that he's stressed that is feeling the heat that is running scared to an extent i mean we saw the extraordinary photo ops in last few weeks you everyone will have seen. coming out of his presidential palace in a flak jacket carrying a rifle without any ammunition in it him flying over the protests at the end of those protests calling the people down in the streets protesting rats claiming that they'd all been sent out by the cia operating out of warsaw this is just one further example of p.r. opportunities going wrong and really a sense of connection a lack of reality

a lack of a sense of what really people here on the ground all feeling i think there is definitely a sense that they are living in their ivory tower and really you know unwilling to engage with the mood on the streets yeah it looks like this has been a good week for luke usually go on monday the european union failed to agree on saying sions against him in his government a couple of weeks ago we had lived near putin guaranteeing bill ruse another major injection of money and even what we saw today the military appears loyal to. his power seems to be rather solidified. i mean obviously he is holding things together fun now but i wouldn't overestimate the reserves of stability that this regime has every week protest is costing them in cash in dollars they're having to pay the riot police coming out every week and huge bonuses several multiples of the normal pay just to ensure that loyalty that

goes for the riot police but the army is a lot less willing to really get its hands dirty for him and make themselves culpable in front of potentially future leadership i think they're the reserves really running out we've already heard that trying to save money on pensions nothing to really keep all these boots on the ground it's fascinating what's going on specially with the economy in the country what will the opposition be able to do moving forward help powerful is. reach from outside the country. i mean there is obviously a limit to what she can do she's quit itself very well and is proved to be very effective communicator something that people hadn't expected of her after all she wasn't a politician herself she had no real experience in politics until her husband was put in jail and she took over from him so definitely she's been putting on

a very solid performance in front of the u.n. in front of the e.u. but i think this protest is going broader now this is not about a hierarchical top down organization of sending messages to people here from her ex on the you're seeing the protests moving off the streets off those kind of sunday big square meetings into an everyday life we're seeing people in the residential district meeting evening for evening talking politics talking to neighbors who maybe they never engaged with the police being forced to play a kind of cat and mouse game trying to take down take down flags every time the police comes to remove flags or murals the next day that back up there's a. situation one district where the police was guarding a wall of a residential building 24 hours a day to prevent the residents from putting the murals in the graffiti back i can't really see that. the riot police here in the world will be enough to really guard every square inch of this city so i think very difficult times ahead for. carly giving us excellent analysis tonight in minutes nic thank you.

but while the president of bill ruses contending with mass protests and perhaps more civil disobedience next door in russia the picture looks completely different russian president vladimir putin's grip on power is practically locked in for years to come and the country's main opposition leader he's not even in the country and as of today he is no longer in the hospital either alexina vallone was discharged from the berlin hospital where he spent the past 3 weeks being treated for poisoning last month and a volley became suddenly ill during a flight across russia after 2 days in a siberian hospital he was brought here to berlin tests showed that he had been poisoned with the soviet era nerve agent no egypt the german chancellor called the poisoning and attempted murder and has demanded an investigation by the kremlin so far moscow has offered nothing but denials of any involvement the poisoning of the

vault he sent european and russian relations to a new look it has not had the same effect apparently on mr know of all the kremlin critic says as soon as he is fully recovered he plans to return to russia. not long ago alexina valen he was at death's door and this is how he looks today drawn thien visibly aged but very much alive it's now just start for a month off he fell ill and 2 weeks since he awoke from any jews coma and the valley is no longer in the intensive ward but russia's most prominent opposition politician will stay in germany with wife yulia and his children for now to continue his rehabilitation. he wrote on instagram my doctors have decided that my recovery requires a regime in normal life rather than treatment in hospital walking spending time with my family i've already stumbled to the pock in pants 3 sizes too large.

44 year old invalid me got sick while campaigning in siberia last month. he was airlifted to believe. and then tests in germany france and sweden confirmed he was poisoned with a military grade nerve agent nova chalk the west holds the kremlin accountable for the valleys poisoning but moscow denies responsibility and says he's welcome home when he's ready. we wish him a speedy recovery. as a russian citizen he has a right to return to moscow at any time. if you like it's still highly uncertain if he would be safe there last week ally said traces of navi truck had been found in a water bottle from the siberian hotel but the kremlin still says he wasn't poisoned in russia germany for its part wants and says for must go about who attack

the valley threatening action if that's not forthcoming and if russia is not cooperating i think we should. be and nato partners to think about what measures should be but 1st we have to said those questions to russia and russia should have the chance to answer but there's little sign the kremlin is ready to cooperate leaving relations between bilin and moscow i ling even as alexina valmy recovers as . it has defied the political powers of political giants such as german chancellor angela merkel and it has allowed europe to become home to humanitarian disasters the european union does not have a policy on migration that works today the e.u. unveiled a new plan that on paper attempts to bring fairness and equality to a policy that has been anything but

a count on the greek island of some most fit for 500 people it houses 5000 it was meant to be a transit point but a backlog migration system has turned it into a home for so many. routes on the 2 years i've been here not in good. conditions. this place and these people are why europe is finally confronting this crisis. presenting her proposal the european commission president called on member states to rise to the challenge of this package reflex a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among men but states we all share the benefits we all share the burden the migration pact includes compulsory pre entry screening with fingerprinting and

a health check a faster 12 week asylum processing target and a sponsored return scheme that would see member states take responsibility for returning migrants on behalf of other member states. the plan abandons previous efforts to relocate new arrivals around the 27 member states something opposed to by the likes of hungry i'm paul and n.g.o.s see that could create havoc in the mediterranean. member states frontline member states like italy greece and. will be reluctant to cooperate if there isn't any sort of mandatory relocation and then they might not disembark our ships that have been rescued and then migrants remain stranded so a lot will depend on the willingness of either member states rights in the last 5 years has not been a very high the commission hopes the seams of a foreign migrant camp on the greek island of lay's boss will be the catalyst for change. morea is

a stark reminder that we need to find sustainable solutions on migration and we all have to step up. moreas residents know rehung used in another makeshift camp can only hope that action comes sooner rather than later. for more now we're joined by our correspondent barbara vanes oh in brussels she is standing in front of the european commission building where a special display is taking place tell us more. you know this is a group of political activists they call themselves led by junkies they were quite active during the sit in london and they have come out here tonight to sort of project images of migrants and the police of migrants onto the commission building here in the back of us because they want to remind the european union that they say we don't deserve to be treated like this we're human beings we deserve more than

just to be managed because that is really at the core of this new proposal that's on the table it's supposed to manage migration better and it's supposed to read people more and faster from the borders off europe so this might be fortress europe 2.0 when you so wish but the people we see here in the front in the back office they say we need to be considered as human and we need to be treated better and you know we've been hearing from n.g.o.s helping refugees they've criticized these new proposals because they fear that refugees who are already in camps without any mandatory redistribution within the e.u. that those those refugees are just going to stay put do they have a point. they do have a point because of course camps to still be part of this project and this new program because people who arrive they will again have to be put in camps now the

promise is that they will then be proses much quicker that the whole asylum request and the whole legal process that follows it will be done much foster that it has been in the past but we've put these promises for years and nothing has happened so far it is also not easy legally because after which the rule of law are they supposed to be then judged on their asylum request all that is quite unclear and it is quite complicated so no easy solutions and there will be camps and there will of course now the e.u. trying to have a pilot project in. greece unless force to help greece managed to manage things better but whether that is the solution and whether that is a big step forward there is a lot of doubt about it so you know we've talked about this policy migration policy many times before what's your verdict on this plan will parts of it work or do you think at the end of the day. you know it's all going to be a big failure. it rule parts of it might work because if they

really work on repealing more people make the borders even stronger discourage more people have more agreements with the countries of origin is to take their citizens spec that might work to a certain extent but on the other hand they have completely let drop the idea of relocation because it is just voluntary now which are if you a peon member state apart from germany and maybe a few others are willing to take people that everybody is going to try and that x. if it's not mandatory and so there is no real solution and politically this will remain a minefield and things will more or less carry on as they are there is no good future for migrants on the border for the border of europe if these plans if they didn't today are being really put in place all right barbara visa list for divorce in brussels barbara thank you. the

us has begun 3 days of tributes to the late supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg she died last week from cancer at the age of 87 mourners are gathering at the u.s. supreme court in washington d.c. that is where the casket of the legal and feminist icon arrived on wednesday for 2 days of public viewing on friday ginsburg will become the 1st woman to lie in state at the u.s. capitol in sport was a leader among liberal justices on the supreme court. her death has ignited a bitter political battle over her replacement president plans to announce his nominee on saturday until then the u.s. will mourn the loss of a remarkable legal mind and a remarkable human being. for days people have been a legend at the supreme court. and in brooklyn new york where ruth bader

ginsburg grew up in the 1930 s. and forty's the daughter of jewish immigrants from eastern europe she lived in a modest house in an ethnically mixed neighborhood ginsburg's career was a life long battle against sexism despite being one of a handful of women to attend harvard law school in the 1950 s. she was rejected for prestigious training by a us supreme court justice because of her gender she was paid less than male counterparts in university appointments she eventually worked for the american civil liberties union and in the volatile 1970 s. she went on to argue cases in front of the u.s. supreme court to advance gender equality. president jimmy carter selected her in 1980 for an appeals court seat in 1993 president bill clinton nominated her to be the 2nd ever female justice on the u.s. supreme court there she made

a name for herself as the leader of the court's liberal wing and later in life unlikely famous r b g a celebrity justice who inspired countless women and girls. worried about. this is that. it is amazing. that my. so many people want to take the hill. with ginsburg death the supreme court has lost an iconic liberal and her replacement could tilt the court in a conservative direction for decades. yeah his poll joins me now from washington our washington bureau chief she's on the story for is just not going to need to you in this so we're looking at 3 days of official remembrance in is is that what this icon of equitable justice justice for all is is that what she

deserves what your take. you know brenda i spent a couple of today in front of the supreme court as she is laying in response for 2 days before then she will be the 1st woman to lay in state in the capital and i had the chance to talk to very many people who came from all across the country and i had the feeling this is the right thing to do 2 full days. to spend respects to go there to cry and to mourn and then we have the ceremony at the capitol and then after all she will be buried at arlington and that is also a huge honor so my feeling here today in washington is yes it's the right thing to do. she was known for her liberal stance on the supreme court and she was also known for holding the balance on the court will that balance be

maintained moving forward or does or b. g.'s death does it mark the beginning of a new era of conservative jurisprudence in the u.s. . this is that's a big fear of the liberal part of this country i mean the supreme court now is with 5 conservative supreme court justices and. ruth bader ginsburg's death down to 3 moderate supreme court justices the liberal supreme court justices and it might happen that donald trump takes the challenge. to put a 3rd supreme court justices in place before the election and that will make then like 6 conservative supreme court justices 23 liberal supreme court justices and you know it's just this balance of this lack of balance the world's talking

about the world is talking about our b.g. and the u.s. presidential election as the supreme court story has replaced the pandemic in this presidential campaign and i'm wondering has has her death has it helped trump's reelection chances. it's a little bit too early to answer if it will help him or no it's most definitely it's very very controversial if donald trump should pick a new supreme court justice before election day and we have to say our b.g. put kind of and a discussion about supreme court justices into the public discourse course which has never happened before so more people are interested in the supreme court justice supreme court than ever before so yes for the moment it's discussed by the pandemic we just had the 200 thousands dead person who died of the pandemic i think

it will come back to to the mind of the voters because the pandemic is far from being over and this kind of hits so many families and so many individuals so i think it will come bake to the headlines so to speak all right our washington bureau chief in his poem the story of words with analysis as america mourns the loss of an icon the legal mind in his thinking. the day is almost done but the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either d.w. news or you can follow me at brant t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you than a. dollar

from diversity a little society and in the labor market diversity is called morals gender and legal background each morning imitation held for the military should be the deciding factor in career success. we talk to the human resources director is diversity just lip service to our reality made in germany. next to you. into the conflict zone to sebastian.

welcome to this special edition of conflict so over the last 4 years we've interviewed several senior lebanese politicians about the lecture will break down the very cold meat from a state institutions to what they told us provides an unusually clear insight into the recent eleven's in trucks of the crisis. conflict. in 60 minutes. it's. like like. germany with death being any time any place. they need. video never. to have the benefit of practice. songs to sing along to download to use the code

from super when seats to be able to. have varied courses for live interactive exercises are you talking about that d w dot com slashdot slant on facebook in the app store. jammin for free with the devil you. look at it. we're all different even though at the same time we're all basically the same we're fashion from a myriad of factors like age ancestry gender gymnastic ability nature nurture and so is the world's work force so just how do companies manage to deal with human diversity our efforts to improve on that front

a reality or merely lip service that's our topic today on made data we use business magazine whoever and however you are welcome to the program. companies should be adapting to the realities of an open and diverse society however ensuring tolerance and respect for others in the workplace is perhaps easier said than done firms usually have to adopt a range of strategies to address the issue here t.w. where an extremely diverse bunch with people from 60 countries working together and over 30 languages and the differences with celebrating go beyond just where we came from as my colleague sharia law shock has been finding out. women and men young and old people of various ethnic backgrounds with different religions and world views different sexual orientations with and without disabilities the don't develop team in berlin is a colorful mix. i wanted to know how does it work at other companies how big

a variety is there and how do the bosses deal with it. on this t.v. commercial for germany's 2nd biggest mail order group is also making a statement about openness and tolerance. it's a vision of a corporate culture that excepts people for who they are. that may be every day life for workers at auto these days. but it wasn't always like that. sports. even in germany in 2020 it's far from uncontroversial that we run ads featuring homosexuals and we get hateful comments online sometimes really disgusting hurtful remarks we just have to accept it and we make a conscious decision to do that and i think it's important that we do accept it

because sometimes showing this attitude can help you endure. could never work in a company where he has to keep his sexuality. secret. he set up an l.g. b t q network where employees can exchange ideas and find support many people are afraid to come out according to a recent study every 3rd. person in germany experiences discrimination at work. let's say i'm not out and a colleague asks me about it then i only have 2 options i can lie or i can be forced to reveal my sexuality doesn't that is and that's why it's so important for a company regardless of its diversity management policy to create a corporate culture that promotes openness and diversity for players. we leave through all catalogues from the seventy's to the ninety's. a time when you

couldn't order fashion online. almost all female and male models are white caucasians and. if if you look here all of these models are one type of person they're basically all white women of the i don't know about you but when i look at it from today's perspective it's a distorted picture of the world. things look very different today any company trying to sell products to the general public has to take social diversity into account diversity should be a top priority. to whoever is the only woman on the board and she works part time. even being able to do that is not a given the immense pressure. when measured by whether we're making empty promises or if we stick to it through our behavior and initiatives and show that we're authentic. that. it's often difficult for homosexuals or

transsexual men or women to find work but more and more companies are hiring at special john ferris my. sticks and stones in berlin. and stuart cameron was one of the fair organizers he knows from personal experience what discrimination feels like the o.e.c.d. estimates that a candidate's chances drop by 50 percent in their papers. discrimination is mostly very in direct for example you don't get invited to certain meetings or you don't get the promotion you're in line for or you don't even get invited in the 1st place. it was the same with me when it came out that i was gay and it was really remarkable to see how colleagues at me started to become more distant my car suddenly got scratched in the company parking lot.

so it was very important for me to find out which companies out there really don't care who backed me if i have a problem who can i turn to and do i truly believe that this company believes in this is you have to do it. using his experience he started his own business and now advises companies on how they can better address diversity issues . such as having the right contact person. and that also includes instructing management events workshops and training. i would say the biggest challenge we face on this issue is time. of course i see how a lot has happened in the past 11 years and things have become more open but it takes time and it's happening too slow for me i wish that more companies but also individuals out there would simply understand just how good and important it is and

that there was more investment in this area because it's good for everyone. in germany as a.p. is considered a model company on matters of diversity there are workers from 118 countries at the software company's headquarters. different cultures and ways of thinking and styles of communication meet here. diversity needs to be managed or on the wise there could be problems. ahead of personnel was forced to flee afghanistan for germany as a 14 year old on his own. today he's responsible for over 20000 workers. from the company's point of view openness to diversity means locating the best talent for the respective jobs in the respective team we have these talents everywhere they're not only white or german but could be indian male homosexuals

except if you only look at the specific requirements of a job a diverse team automatically emerges with. large companies can benefit from an open corporate culture mixed teams often achieve better results precisely because they have a harder time together. i think we have to do it because it's the right thing to do because the world has different says they are going to have to accept we've also noticed that teams are more innovative when they don't all come from the same pot metaphorically speaking. in about a dozen. but of course this also applies in recruitment if we're more open as employers and we're more attractive option right that's why it's not just an end in itself but it's also a good fit and has quantifiable advantages for corporate success but even.

allowing diversity in a company is a challenge which ultimately. we need to talk about money and that can sometimes seem crude but addressing diversity means addressing the yawning gaps in how different groups of people are paid for the same work were voted so many times here on t.w. about gender pay differences but the change that needs to happen simply hasn't it's time to get something done but 1st a few facts. why do women earn less. it's not a myth women's wages remain low while men's climb higher and higher this is a fall in germany she earns 21 percent less than a man and she has far less chance of up painting a company car but where does the difference come from let's look back a couple of decades. in the wake of the 2nd world war in germany there was

a shortage of men and women had to take on hard work their fight for just wages was particularly loud women demanded equal pay and they were successful. then came the bitch off the economic miracle the traditional gender roles returned with a vengeance. in west germany at least they have a could remain a housewife and stay home to take care of the kitchen the kids and her husband. both socially and legally men were seen as the only breadwinners this role division continued for decades and it continues to affect employment today. eva chose a typical women's job working in a human resources department. careers in i.t. the natural sciences and high tech didn't interest her.

the problem is typical women's work is paid less nurses and caregivers often earn less than a truck mechanic for example for in addition eva interrupted her career to raise a family and later worked only half days she never sit in the boss's chair. a vicious circle. as it stands now researchers say evil would have to work almost another 170 years before she finally earns as much as a man equal pay in germany wouldn't become a reality until the year 2187. will keep reporting on that issue but women work as a facing other disadvantages besides lower pay the coronaviruses in something of a regression towards the gender roles of the past men have been the 1st to return to offices while women have often been left juggling working from home with keeping the kids schools and entertained entrepreneur and mother in

a doll things that's totally out of order she's been speaking to our reporter it also gives us a little insight into his daily routine. i cook at home are in my own shirts and i work full time my unique. you definitely unique quite rare for many women would be a dream come true which is a good thing. if . working from home is good because it gives people a chance to take care of their children and their careers are there any downsides. they have probably missed the problem is that during the coronavirus and to make women pay the price for the good of society women have followed their hearts and taken care of their families and their children they want to do this as well but

they also still have to do they paid work it said gender roles back a few decades ago. back to the fifty's. coronavirus could encourage further discrimination against women. one is all my concern is that if unemployment continues to rise due to the coronavirus women will get a broader deal by staying at home doing more part time work taking care of people more and paying an even higher price. and my impression is that if a woman wants a career she caught up a child and she wants a child she has to forgo the career how can we avoid this dilemma. in germany it is unfortunately often the case that women must choose to get trapped working part time but all that means that i do a job part time that is normally full time i'm constantly get told that i can't

have a career if i don't work full time plus i have to do 100 percent of the housework that i do if i didn't have a job so i'm constantly stressed so i think if a woman wants to have a career and children my advice to her would be to work full time and that's because the likelihood of her finding a partnership model in which the man does a lot of housework and it is much higher than if the woman were to work part time. at. i need more men who contribute and share the workload definitely definitely we need men and businesses to contribute other relationship models are possible i've had one with my husband for 20 years i cannot emphasize this enough we both work full time we have 4 children and we don't have an au pair or a nanny we manage by alternating between working long days and short days 6 hours 10 hours 6 hours 10 hours and that works well.

and i can't bear to hear any more businesses say we have standards and just can't find a qualified woman i can't bear to hear it anymore because it's not true and we need to consider that women present themselves differently and their qualifications come across differently and we need to take a closer look at that. how by looking at people differently and not just at those who appear boastful story that's not true for all men and there's less to it than what it might sound like there are men who are very competent don't get me wrong but men also present themselves with their chests broad and proud and women tend to be more modest and hope to be discovered and dicta. but that doesn't usually work in a record no it doesn't.
