ask sue her if she wants to take a break from the interview she refuses adamantly there's just so much she feels she didn't tell her husband enough suhas biggest concern now is her daughter processing their loss gemma seems to be protecting her mother by not sharing her feelings. she told them here was listening he heard her and i prefer can i not i'm not i'm not able to give details because they are killing me from inside me. so can you imagine herself. can you imagine the images in her a passing whenever she closes her eyes. suah finds redemption and relief in family pictures now as she relives of the fondest of memories this is how we used to sleep playing our head on each other because you know whenever i put my head on his saw

. election results and better really say that long time president alexander lukashenko there has secured a landslide 6th term with a little over 80 percent of the vote right now there have been some messages of congratulations from other leaders although the european council president has appealed for the authorities to respect human rights and refrain from violence but it does follow a night of unrest after exit polls did give shanker a commanding lead. it'll eat. i have to go i won't work that. you should throw us a little yeah he said. it

licked. i. i. please so whatever means you fully support the catholic parishes in its largest protests in the last 10 years if you at 10 pm people began to gather near the hero city ordinance for the powerful local security. offices then began to mark house and city censorship pushing back exactly the 1st time in history valerie special crowd control measures including stun grenades were used some eyewitnesses claim it's all rubber bullets being fired. around 3000 people were detained nationwide on election day according to official data opposition supporters have been swift to claim the election has been rigged alexander lukashenko has been in power since 984

but this election is thought to be his tough a shed with unprecedented scrutiny and also protests down hawkins reports now from outside the better russian embassy in moscow where ex-pat voters formed leonti kings on sunday. hundreds of people yesterday stayed at the embassy to show their dictation out of election they feel was rigged out of election with a few love votes what take it away that was one of those compared to what was happening in but a recent moves throughout the night security forces broke up wrote. thousands tens of thousands probably around the whole country with people marching through the streets building barricades some of them chanting police also even looks to use violence against protesters those pelting them with bottles now security forces were very quick to respond with stun grenades with tear gas water cannons. rubber bullets the reports of multiple injuries images of bloodied and bruised protesters around the world stephen even though they went into that blackout some problems

with communications across the country the protests went beyond but a russian borders there were protests out the but russian embassies in kiev and warsaw even as far afield as televisa as well. as campaign was widely criticized the home and abroad for the arrest and detention of journalist position but it's activists as well come with himself said he didn't expect these elections to you was a broken voice that i should leave us free to all fair for the way they've been

handled by the russian authorities they have opened probes into these protests saying that the rioters as they call them could face between the age of 15 years in jail. himself saying those who took to the streets to destabilize the country will face the consequences just as he should be able to have blood you through in the u.s. if you're going to go against our country or even in the smallest way try to plunge the country into chaos and destabilize it you will receive an immediate response from the. well for the moment or the process seem to have died down what's going to happen to later tonight we can't tell but but lot of the hoffs as we said the main opposition now that it has already said she's going to fight these results in court she says she doesn't recognize them and she's calling on police and security forces not to use violence against protesters to stand down the reports said at the top on top of last night in some cities in baton rouge as well whatever the result was going to be tonight it was clear that this would be some sort of turning point for

domestic politics in belarus that hawkins one of the key opposition politicians he was barred from running accusing the question of retaining power by force. the u.s. . is clear that this has nothing to do with normal exit polls these are just numbers off the top of someone's head the real results are exactly the opposite we support your citizens are doing because their votes are being stolen. you started this campaign with a brutal violation of the constitution. who is now seizing power by force he's the one who's carrying out a coup. political analyst mr babbage told us that the unrest is unlikely to reach the level was there a scene in neighboring ukraine which caused the government to collapse 6 years ago . i think protests will continue for a few days when the men want to go without support without organized or they will peter out soon for people to not sustain

a long ball you know you need more make a living fulfillment the police in what was just certainly more determined. well quite literally the very people marching down before them very different and the situation is very different so i think for the time being we will stay in power but your last 3 days. you went through a moral defeat and you spoiled relations with russia i think the main mistake was going to was russia will find. a lot of his other statements in the last year. and they also take an eye from the fossil go to the belief that these people one who believes with russia who hope he will be the man who provided him with. the still to come here this hour it has been hard for all of us but for undocumented

migrant workers in one west african country the pandemic is open the scale of inequality but have the details on the story just after the break. is your media a reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way. or are you being. direct. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths.

aura made in the shallows. is it really news english truth is there any truth in the news also what is this one preacher known as elliot abrams say about trump's evolves. hello again france reportedly wants britain to pay 30000000 pounds to help stem the flow of migrants crossing the english channel the request though has not gone down well in westminster which accuses france of not trying hard enough shall have been ski reports now from powers. well the clash over migrants between the u.k.

and france seems to be escalating and that comes as there has been in recent arrivals from france to the u.k. which has put the 2 countries that owns the number of illegal smuggled crossings is appalling and unacceptably high the figures are shameful france and other e.u. states are safe countries genuine refugees should claim asylum they're not respond or lives and break the law by coming to the u.k. france is apparently demanding some. pounds from the u.k. government before it says it will deal with the issue of these illegal crossings promptly on the aids. that's left apparently westminster pretty scathing this shut down those proposal saying it won't hand any will cash and less it has a hand in how the money is spent now there are also accusations that paris is trying to milk the u.k. all while these number of illegal crossings are increasing day by day let's have

a look at some of the figures now just a few days ago on august 6th 235 people made it across from france to the shoes of england now in 2020 so far more than 4000 people have succeeded in making that crossing that's double the number in 2900. priests that we've seen now french patrols are trying to stop some of those migrants leaving french coastal shores and we know that the french interior minister has called me back saying you since january its operations have stopped 5 times as many people as they did in 2019 in the same period but with the u.k. it's just north and so much so you can't exactly predict. has announced a new appointment this is the appointment of cotton desk dining channel direct

command of this somebody who is going to be monitoring all the agencies that watch the english channel for things like illegal migration somebody who should be able to sort the problem out and the u.k. government has even suggested that it may have to use its own maritime assets to deal with this we determined to stop this illegal reach into britain for humanitarian reasons as much as anything else we talking to our french counterparts and we in order to find a solution using maritime assets so safely to try and return folks to france trying to prevent people from leaving france in the 1st place while talks between the 2 countries are due to continue this week but the court is taking up the moment the u.k. has the right and the doctor to send that the asylum seekers back to france but that will end at the end of the break that transitional period which will finish in december 2020 so only

a few months away that's of course unless the 2 countries reach a new deal something at the moment that seems highly unlikely given that the 2 countries are not seeing eye to eye on this issue. charted penske reported naresh corrective measures during the pandemic to vary from country to country and to some of the world's poorest studies making life almost impossible documentary makers redfish have been following undocumented migrants in west africa it is streaming now i warn you but his just some of what they found. he says are almost only 1. 100 of him. in front of that embassy. you cannot go but if you go you don't really know if you don't know. the feel of the whole of africa. for the. first them us. very.

interesting. in this is if you. are but i'm going to bed now after seeing. them after you have to. get back. after sitting through you have to prove i'm going to get our country. for me sounds crazy to me and everybody said oh no yeah you get their part. in haiti so we are going to bring it up to. the north and i. am not from all of them a bit. more

. is making me crazy. and you can see that red fish documentary in full on you tube now new york's summer of shooting saw deaths rise deaths rise by more than 59 percent in july compared to a year ago despite that though the mayor is shifting a $1000000000.00 of the police budget under pressure from defun protests in the wake of the country's race and brutality riots however at the same time poll was among black americans are seeing more people rethink whether it's wise to reduce resources in law enforcement his caliber. across the country many cities have cut the number of police officers and reduce the funding for police

departments in response to the explosive mass movement of protests against police brutality. you know. all. the way. oddly polls show that this is not exactly what the public wants 81 percent of black americans say they want the police to spend the same amount of time that they already do in their communities or more this may be influenced by the overall breakdown in law and order gun violence in new york city has risen by a 177 percent this to wine and at the same time as

a rise in crime is taking place homelessness is also on the rise making many locals very disturbed it's not the city that it used to be before march you have to take certain precautions judge me out to be in fear of these men doesn't mean it all these men know predatory but a lot of them they'll start shelf pleasure ising them show up she'll pass out on the street from cage to smoking crack shooting her when i haven't seen anything to do with there have been some birds in the neighborhood that i that doesn't make me feel that a woman was attacked in my building at that day and it was only 10 o'clock at night so i haven't seen anything but if i did it would certainly bother me but it may be just because these people should be taken care of and obviously the rest of us should not be in any of the concern for somebody who's not in control of himself. causing trouble if you have men with drug problems why would you put him into. a place where there is no she curity whatsoever to make sure that they don't keep
