this is d.w. news along with the from baghdad dozens are arrested as anti-government rallies resume in belarus activists in the capital immense cope to read nights the mass protests that gripped the nation last year and d.-w. correspondent nick scholarly is among those detained. mean mars deadmeat deadliest day since the coup dozens of pro-democracy demonstrators are killed in nationwide stations as the army stages a show of force. and a giant flying relic of the group salvaged from the bottom of the street one of the

last of its kind going on just. a marina mohammed thanks for joining us police in belarus have detained more than 100 anti-government activists and the number of journalists it's the 1st significant rally of the year demonstrations against the regime have resumed dr office subsiding over the winter organizers in the capital minsk off hoping to kickstart protests which dominated headlines in belarus for most of last year the movement began when the hard line president and xander to question co claimed victory in a disputed election in august. now among the journalists detained by the authorities is d w correspondent nic connelly he joins us live now from ments so nic tell us more

about higher doing and also what happened today. i'm fine i ended up losing 5 hours of my day compared to jealous i'm in a very privileged position having my media company behind me having the german embassy on my side journalists here in the letters are routinely sent to jail for long terms to journalists of belts at an x.l. channel that works in poland in jail for 2 years for essentially doing a stream a live stream of approaches back in the autumn another journalist has been sent to jail for 6 months for revealing that a protester who lost his life was not drunk as the authorities have claimed so that is reality here in belarus in 2021 of those big purchase last year which so we're kind of a festive atmosphere at times people with their kids their pets really receiving it relaxed and willing to kind of make their presence felt a very different atmosphere very different reality here now as you mentioned that

the opposition is trying to rekindle that spirit and last year after the cold months as spring comes trying to bring people back out onto the streets but we have seen an unparalleled crackdown handlers since then people being sent to jail for having flags opposition flags on their balconies or even organizing chants when neighbors talk to each other out politics all of that is something that can get you in jail and i was just out wearing my blue journalist vest was trying to delay things trying to take a few shots and within about 2 or 3 minutes of me starting to film i found myself in the back of a bus being taken to a police station without any explanation of what it is they claimed i had done just the clarity you want give an explanation as to why you were. the 1st extraordinary thing i think they were kind of secret is looking to find some kind of infringement on my part to see if i may be forgotten some part of the

bureaucracy that is part of life in the as this is a country where the state is in concert looking for things to basically. get you in a difficult position over and when they realize my papers were in order that i hadn't heard attention they were seemingly a little surprised and all disappointed the question is even the question is which there aren't many lots of foreign media have lost their attention since the summer and most independent local media are now working without official restraint which means that essentially they're jealous off a game for the police here in dollars even a pretty people like me are going to be arrested soon as we leave is journalism even possible in this country is journalism defacto beaten professional they're not willing to say that yet i'm here in my apartment speaking to you from from my living room is that is as far as they're willing to go that's the big question then on string but for now it's a very difficult situation on the other hand you know in

a situation where people have smartphones and where people do film stuff from their windows out of the window of a bus i was detained on thursday and that was filmed by someone who saw me in my blue journalists is really being put into another bus and that really did the rounds within a few minutes so the question is how much are they going to achieve by trying to do this yes they can put pressure on us but eventually those pictures you know all right well that's kind of the life process in minsk who was detained for several hours. after following those demonstrations there in belarus we'll see how that story develops a couple of days nic thank you so much and stay safe. now dozens of protesters have been killed in miramar as military just put on a show of strength for armed forces day and general has one demonstrators they risk being shot in the head if they take to the streets hundreds of people have died since pro-democracy rallies began often last month and chico. those who came out to

protest knew they were risking their lives the army said as much before saturday's protest against me and most military coup across the nation soldiers opened fire killing dozens of protesters many shot in the head this footage shows security forces beating an unarmed man unconscious it's been one of the deadliest days since protests began a show of force says the military halted parade in the capital would not be a door thousands of soldiers flanked by rockets and tanks jointer leader on here on condemned the protests as terrorism and again promised there will be democratic elections. as soon as the state of emergency is over there will be free and fair elections and duties will be returned to the state. but no date has yet been set protests have not let up since the military coup began at the beginning of february demonstrators are demanding the release of imprisoned

civilian leader unsung sochi. hundreds of dead thousands imprisoned me this side is backing down in this brutal power struggle. well they've been growing wrong as a journalist following the situation from kuala lumpur he sent us this update. there's no question about it that this is an army at war with its own people in e.m.r. i mean there are reports credible reports of more than 90 people killed today so we could be looking at the death toll the temps are more than 4 'd 100 total since the military coup was staged on february 1st so many of these people shot in the head i mean the warning came on state media about the possibility of demonstrators being shot in the head today will they been doing that for weeks protesters have been getting shot in the head so many an armed civilians dead at the hands of the country's security forces this is part of the military plan to just terrorize the

civilian population just like me m.r. who does and past have done well this noon to is doing the same thing not only with a number of people that they're killing on the streets in their homes but they're just terrorizing them with nighttime raids i mean i've spoken to people in the armor this week who tell me they're terrified every time they hear a knock on the door and sometimes it's not a knock on the door sometimes it's a door being kicked down and security forces rate you see people who are in custody the security forces wounded people without weapons clearly in custody no way to fight back and yet they get beaten by the security forces sometimes people get taken away by the security forces and they turn up dead the next day this is just terrorizing the civilian population the generals of me i am are out for the reason and to protect the fortune that they've amassed over decades through this country's natural resources to the businesses they control so many of the people in the population live in poverty these generals are millionaires and they're trying to protect their regime let's have

a look at other stories making headlines around the world and they say people have been killed and more than 24 engines when a building collapse in the depiction capital cairo rescue workers are searching for survivors trapped under the rubble. security sources in mozambique say and on group has seized the northern town of palma it's close to a number of major international gas projects fighting has been going on in the area for days forcing hundreds of people to flee. gyptian authorities cannot say when the container ship blocking the suez canal will be refloated 9000 tons of ballast have been removed from the evergreen the vessel has stuck for 5 days and hundreds of ships are now waiting outside one of the world's busiest shipping waves . thousands of women have marched in this temple to protest against the turkish government's withdrawal of an international treaty on abuse the istanbul convention

was championed by turkey 10 years ago now with uncross withdrawal turkish women say this if he is now being jeopardized and they want to move reversed. we're not afraid of you and we will not comply shot the women at this demonstration in istanbul. they're protesting against what they see is the government acting against women. good you know i think the number of women being murdered is growing we've hit absolutely rock bottom they should be talking about how best to finally implement the istanbul convention but instead they just dropped it it's unbelievable we'll. despite a dramatic increase in femicide in recent years turkey has pulled out of the convention the international treaty is intended to protect women and sexual minorities from abuse. president richard tire better one withdrew in a surprise decree that he shrugged off accusations from legal experts and opposition groups that only the turkish parliament can make that decision is going

to be our decision is final just like back when we entered into the agreement we're not leaving it no one else should get involved. in those. analysts believe the outer one is playing to ultra conservative elements and christopher sure reasoning the convention supposedly normalizes homosexuality undermining turkish values opponent say out of one does not speak for the rest of the country they want the government to rejoin the treaty. do men feel unsafe when they walk home alone at night no we have to be afraid we're saying no to the system. women's groups say that pulling out of the treaty sends a completely wrong signal to violent offenders. on our giant flying relic from the cold war selvage from the bottom of the sea the aircraft was once the showpiece of the soviet military aviation only a few were ever built now one of the last the in existence is now going on display

for fans to admire. the gigantic fast dangerous the a chronic plan is half ship half an aircraft 40 years ago it was designed for m. 50 s. warfare between the soviets and western powers it was this man who tested the flying boat alley gace him off he was the caspian sea monsters board engineer. knew more than those that it wasn't a monster back then there were plans to even use the a chrono plan for passenger transport because it didn't need large runways and airfields. near chrono plan was designed in the 1980 s. it was built to protect the russian coast and destroy the enemy fleet and it was meant to do this without being detected by radar the parasail glider moved with the

help of the so-called ground effect its wings generated pressure and lifted the 380 ton flying boat a few meters above the water allowing it to move at higher speeds but the flying machine was never actually used on a real mission. to see craft is ruined the work of many designers and engineers but it's good that it's still here because some people were considering dismantling it and using the parts for scrap metal. the caspian sea monster will be displayed at patriot park in dagestan the sea craft symbolizes modern russia drawing parallels to its ancient strength. well to sports now and then formula one red bull's max a 1st step and has won pole position in qualifying at this season's opening long pray in behind he finished an impressive 4 tense on

attack not a single soldier has been stationed here to protect them up to now. it's been a year since military trucks entered the northern italian city of belittlement to take away the coffins of thousands of people who had died from corona. the shock still runs deep among the survivors but there is also hope. don mario cut him enough he shares countless memories with many of the people laid to rest here. he was a member of the parish i was leading in vatican with all almost everyone buried in this section of the cemetery died from cove it this is the 1st time don mateo has visited it since the pen demick struck the region and almost on out in the world it's like going back months and then like reliving the moments of people who are no

just crossed the border between mexico and the united states and they have been caught by the authorities a group of 57 immigrants most of them from central america once on u.s. soil they are looking for the border patrol not only because they are tired thirsty untangle but also because they want to start the asylum process as soon as possible . a short distance from the natural order comes the unfinished fence that makes up one 3rd of the over 3100 kilometers tell the border the construction has stopped under the biden administration. i'm tossing weise our friends they both grappa near the border for grandmother came from mexico his father as well in a time off no barriers between mexico and the united states. we want to make sure that they treat them well and we have kids we have frank kids some still babies so this is why it hurts to see them crossing. you

saw they were 7 or 8 years old this is why we're here you know as another possible that. i missed. the bus arrives to carry the young parents on their kids to the closest detention center in the middle of india i know their most and especially on at least one 150000 asylum seekers. with children have been caught in the past weeks and are being held under custody a big challenge for the current administration yes get at that i feel that biden wants to move forward and solve the problem because there are so many that have to be processed and at the same time make sure that they finally arrive in a safe place so little. because safety is one of the main reasons such forced them to escape from places where criminal activity is part of their every day. cameras are not allowed inside the detention center even basic information about

the number of immigrants and how long they're being detained is not released but pictures taken by a democratic congressman show that the conditions inside are terrible especially for kids the republican party is using this as a political tool against the biden administration and his party they're also portraying immigrants as a national security threat. once released its volunteers like rachel who guide them something out asylum seekers are being held in custody over the legal limit of 72 hours all this after an epic journey when all the said it was an odyssey suffering from hunger thirst i hope the sacrifice was worth it and so good research out of delta quickly comes a smile since their new life is already started and. in brussels the european union wants to strengthen the rights of people with disabilities european parliament member country one and see the news from
