you with solutions that's right so lucian's and today we're going to be talking with all the nose of korean floor. huge. explosions and gunfire are heard in the belorussian capital according to witnesses comes out of the presidential election results to mass anti-government demonstrations throughout the country into thousands of arrests including an r.t. correspondent who was later released. lebanon's untie cabinet resigns on the mass following get we're increasing pressure over last week's devastating blast in beirut. and france reportedly

tells the u.k. it's happy trying to help stop the increasing flow of migrants crossing the english channel as long as london stumps up to 30000000. a very warm welcome you watching r.t. international with me in the carriage. now antigovernment protests continuing tonight with witnesses reporting blasts and gunshots throughout the capital radios have also surfaced online of police forces beating and detaining people after the government issued a crackdown olders on the demonstrators and r.t. correspondent was also arrested in minsk while covering the protests but has since been released the demonstrations are up to on sunday after longtime president alexander lukashenko claimed he'd won a landslide victory in the election. and how do you know you've.

been. through her room during her. we're joined now by our teams that ramon calls a river among get to see what more do we know that is coming out of minsk tonight. oh well nicky was started talking about some journalists who were detained and later it later released indeed one of them was an artsy correspondent sends us some other journalists working for russian media have been released too but still there are several media representatives working for

a russian media outlets are still unaccounted for and we're waiting to find out on their whereabouts or on their fates and their health in general all that still to come at the moment so we are here in the center of moscow near the belorussian the embassy aware that they started with several journalists calling self people who are detained in belarus coming out here to a voice their support and to ask the bill russian authorities to release them as soon as possible also if i can ask you to move the camera this way you can see that there are about well judging from my experience on the number of protesters there are about 25200 protesters will not in the sort of protests or just members of the media as well most of them are now here to voice their solidarity with the opposition in bel-air reuss ice ball. to

a couple of people in that crowd and here's what they had to say. we've come to support the belorussian people because at this difficult time you're not only fighting against the seizing of power with their own police aren't supporting them most of us today i was watching a broadcast of what was going on in bella roost and i was shocked by the violence and the better russian police they were shooting people and beating them out i came to support the russian people. bill a russian investigative committee have declared they have launched several inquiries into the illegal mass gatherings into. they said they detained already at least 80 people and that's according to official information of course and at the moment we've seen that footage footage and just like on sunday evening on monday police continue to use rubber bullets continue to use a tear gas to stun grenades and other crowd control equipment as

well several people have been wounded as i understand. the police at the moments are checking people's papers people's documents very carefully to make sure that they do indeed work for illegally for the media. meanwhile. president of the roof said xander lucas shank oh says that the past election was one of the best suit dates he says that the entire event went like a feast and to any kind of interference into the russian election came from outside of the country meanwhile the opposition claims that the election was rigged and the numbers that were presented by officials are inflated let's have a listen to the opposition number right now. yes. it's 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 what citizens are doing because the votes have been stolen has started this campaign with a brutal violation of the constitution. it's now seizing power by force he is the one who is carrying out a coup. and you can see the crowds are still here. passing cars are honking and the crowd is applauding the honking cars in solidarity and meanwhile a protest in bel air routes that continue not only in a man's body in the other cities as well according to the authorities the center of the bell or russian capital all motorised traffic has been halted also subway in the center in the central in the center all have been closed off so people cannot really make it to censor if they want to protest developments

are coming up they are coming from the below russian capital and from the into our country all the time so i will be here to update you on all of them we appreciate every mon the authorities were among the latest. but we also spoke to a woman who claimed she and her boyfriend would attend in the streets my place for seemingly just taking a walk. at the start of the year me and my boyfriend were out for a walk and we saw several special police unit buses a man crossed the road in front of them and they suddenly stopped and told him to lay on the ground then they noticed us and said you 2 we were confused there were no other people around no crowds just me my boyfriend and this man we complied got on the crown and they put us in the buses as a girl i was placed alone but the guys were 1st but up and then put in a bus with 4 other people along the way were picked up more people and then they took us here another girl that they put in with me had all of her things taken she

was searched and had to strip naked after that we were put in a cell with 17 other girls the room had only 4 beds there was spend the night with the lights on. plus the live now to dr raina while trust your political analyst and consultant thank you for joining us here on lottie international now relations between him and scott moscow aren't what they once were and how this going to affect them now. i think we have already seen that a week ago when 33 alleged mercenaries from russia were detained in rows that the relationships are not the same as they had been a long time ago but i think that russia is not really the threat in the present situation as. has pointed out he sat that allegedly there were influences from russia from czech republic and also from poland too with

influence to take an influence on the demonstrators i think this cannot be proved but this situation of course is really tense and there is a possibility of foreign influence on the situation because look i think of course has his enemies also inside the european union in the west because you have potence of course a very different system from the rest of europe with his 6 term starkey now. if we look at for example his handling of the corona crisis it was totally different there was no lockdown at all because look i think was that the countries to couper to afford a lockdown so he somehow is very apart from the regular political system in the west and therefore i can imagine that yes he has some

enemies through who are interested in also supporting those demonstrations. or the the opposition says it's ready for the long pole with these protests i mean do you see this where do you see the situation going to think we're going to continue and how long fall. well i cannot imagine that it will really continue for a very long time and that it will arrive in their way as it has been the case in 2013 or 2014 in kiev ukraine. of course the police force is quite strong and rejected in belarus but if we look at similar situations in france for example in the past 2 years where the yellow wests were confronted with heavy police violence i think the situation is comparable in better or it's not worse than in some of the western european countries also now if we look at the situation in march and april how the german

police handle for example corona protests it was quite brutal and so i think the police force is yeah cracking down now on the demonstrators and we will see rather controlled situation within a few days in this at least my guess. folks are right now last festival is colorless don consultant thank you for your time thank you. know lebanon's entire cabinet including the prime minister has resigned following last week's devastating explosion in beirut most protests have been held every day since people have been demanding accountability for the $150.00 plus deaths and utter destruction caused by the blast our correspondent paula slayer reports from the area. situation here is becoming more and more unruly behind you you see lebanese police they've managed to push protesters all the way back from the

parliament building we're now in one of the side streets but there is tear gas and we're going to move forward a little bit because rocks are being thrown in our direction by the protesters now the protesters are still out on the streets despite the fact that earlier the lebanese prime minister resigned he resigned along with his cabinet but what the protesters here are telling me is that they're not going to stop taking to the streets until the whole parliament itself resigns so it's possible that scenes like this will continue we've witnessed people being wounded again we've witnessed ambulances ferrying them to and from the scene so a lot of the same scenes unfolding as we've witnessed over the past 2 days this is violence that started on saturday night more than 700 people have been injured one policeman so far has been killed i know we're getting tear gas ok at our break for a moment while i put on my mask and we'll show you what the last few days of violence have looked like. the time.

that. was. now people here are calling this a revolution i've been talking to protesters and they say that this revolution is not going to be over as i mentioned until the parliament itself resigns beirut really hasn't witnessed scenes like this in many many years we've had lots of tear gas on the streets there but the camera man was injured at the same time the police are being accused of using excessive force and they have admitted to using both tear gas. and live bullets we're going to move forward again because the tear gas is coming in this direction and apply to some even towards us but as i say the situation in baby to a lot of anger a lot of frustration not only about

b explosion at the port but also the whole mismanagement of the government and its failure to take accountability and responsibility they were based investment banker khaled the down believes the resignations will eventually lead to positive change in the country and i think the majority of those that are forecasting today like myself are angry. they are angry because obviously of the magnitude of this catastrophe and they are also angry at the magnitude of the incompetence on dealing with this. it is a necessity for the government. creates an opening for you know a new manager and new dynamic which can potentially need to a a more stable and accept of the framework to run or to basically be able to undertake this huge adults. explosion in beirut has changed

many lives in the city forever one family has only added to their heartache they were in hospital dealing with their daughter's cancer when the blast struck the father was killed. forgive me if i did anything for me to carry or if i hurt you forgive me i love you i know of you i love you i love you for 2 hours i used to tell him i love you oh you know you are you know i love you i love you these summer months have always been synonymous with joy and celebration for sue his family the birthdays of the children and husband the anniversary of their wedding all of which falls during the sonny season but this year trouble started to loom on the horizon early when her daughter was diagnosed with cancer they called me in the morning they confirmed that it's classical heart and i knew that it was lymphoma by that time gemma's immune system had been shot to pieces but hodgkin's lymphoma is not a sentence for children it's curable and doctors have been reassuring sue her

husband jihad was called by the news abroad in nigeria but couldn't stay away in a crisis like this so several dozen covert tests later he came to lebanon to be with his family we slept in the hospital the same bed the same everything me her and her gemma's hospital room was where the port explosion called the 3 of them the windows of the buildings in front of me crashing and then one by the like this. like this i didn't see if fair i didn't see my daughter i didn't see and anything but i wanted to put his head like this i felt that all smashed all all so much that i was not sure that he was alive i saw his soul leaving his body i saw it but i've answered i want to move on to another hospital jihad died right before his daughter's eyes only 6 gemma faces 2 battles most adults would struggle to win

cancer and coping with her father's death she drew for me and around. it's circle she she color that was red i knew it's her bed. and it was full of blood sue his heart breaks when she blames herself for letting her daughter witness all that and letting down her son by promising that his father would be at his birthday which is this week i promised my son that are me and his they're going to be on his birthday and i broke this promise and everyone's going with happy birthday for my son it's his birthday on the 30th of august. so. my love. i

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 they 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 the fondest of memories this is how we used to sleep playing our head on each other because you know as whenever i put my head on his

secure how. what i'm going to. give when they're in 3rd when they smell his clothes there's some mean for not removing his clothes from the house i'm not going to remove them but sue her realizes that her life is not over she tells me its whole life mission now to limit the shortage of cancer medicine for lebanese children even with the mask on i can see her smiling when she talks about her children those she ordered them a frozen as our. unicorn because a lot about this one is very special i told her to say this is my hair because mommy when you're going to take this strong medication your hair is going to fall down you're going to lose your hair so what i can do or this is my hair i'm going to give it to you so you want to wear a caterer on i'm going to make her happy i would do whatever she wants the business my link her and her brother it was done of reporting from lebanon r.t.

. france once person to stamp out the cash to the tune of millions if it's to help stop my quince crossing the english channel find out how that's going down after the break. the world is driven by a dreamer shaped by one person or those with. thinks . we dare to ask.

is there really. is there any truth in the news also what does this one creature know this say about tropes evolve. welcome back 38000000 pounds past the price francaise reportedly demanding to up its efforts to stop migrants trying to reach the u.k. the news has not gone down well in downing street which is said to be drawing up plans to deploy the navy to help solid to the ski reports. 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 risperdal hypes 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 properly on the aids now 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 so 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 2019 saw real increase 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 sort of 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 nothing so much so you can home secretary pretty big to. has announced a new appointment this is the appointment of contest dining channels right 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 is 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 are talking to our french counterparts and we in order to find a solution using maritime assets so safely to try and return boats 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 under the double moules to send that the asylum seekers back to france but that will end at the end of the break that transition 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. fatal shootings in new york by nearly 2 thirds compared to a year ago despite that the city's police budget is being slashed under pressure from black lives matter protests but surveys suggest even black americans don't think it's a good idea kind of more open as the details. 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. and.

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 they 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 self pleasure i see them show up still pass out on the

street from k. to smoking crack shooting when i haven't seen anything to their head and some burgers 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 i mean that just because these people should be taken care of and obviously the rest of us should not be in any at 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 curator whatsoever to make sure that they don't keep feeding the abbot the rise in crime and homelessness has got many new yorkers fearing this could be a return to the old new york of the seventy's and eighty's many wealthy folks are packing up and leaving governor andrew cuomo is urging them to change their minds begging wealthy folks to stay even offering to cook the dinner you gotta come back when you come back we'll go to dinner buy

a drink. come over i'll cook but despite his pleading he admits new york city is getting the last say we're trying to get them to come back. kobe don't get control we're going to make progress helping the homeless we're going to clean up the graffiti we're going to fix these problems of rising crime homelessness and violence on the streets of new york are something that most average new yorkers can't afford to just pack up and run away from governor andrew cuomo had given attention to these problems that affect lower income new yorkers then perhaps the same problems that are now driving the wealthy folks away wouldn't have risen so dramatically up and artsy new york. thanks for chasing off the international went back in 30 minutes. joined me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of
