7:04 pm
watching a broadcast of what was going on in pillar reuss and i was shocked by the violence and the better russian police they were shooting people and beating them up i came to support rebel or russian people who've been outside the belorussian embassy for a several hours already and has been pretty calm without any major disturbances meanwhile the presence of belarus look at shango says that these have been the best elections to date and he says any kind of disturbances that happened in the country came from abroad meanwhile the opposition says that the numbers of the election are inflated and the election itself was rigged and was not fair let's have a listen to the member of the opposition right now. it's clear that this has nothing to do with normal exit polls these are just numbers of the top of someone's head the real results are exactly the opposite we support all citizens are doing because the votes have been stolen not to this. pain with
7:05 pm
a brutal violation of the constitution because it is now seizing power by force he is the one who is carrying out a coup. like i said in the beginning of protests are continuing across the river so what we're seeing here in moscow at the moment or something similar took place in the ukrainian capital of kiev as well that meanwhile in belarus itself there are protests are continuing and of course we here at sea we'll bring you up to date with any further developments. i also spoke to a woman who claims she and her boyfriend were detained in the streets while police for seeming just being outside the satisfaction fields before me and my boyfriend were out for a walk and we saw several special police unit buses and men crossed the road in front of them and they suddenly saw 10 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
7:06 pm
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 we 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. but we've discussed the developing story with other lists here is that take on what is going on right now in there but a russian capital. awful violence last night including reports of fatalities in minsk certainly not something you'd expect to see in europe in this day and age far more brutal than anything seen in you know paris or moscow or london in recent years and you know if anybody knows been a rooster has been there it's it's a very very time country normally it's not known for protests i mean i'm sure many
7:07 pm
of our viewers could serve your viewers could say that if you never heard of the big protests there before certainly not the last decade anyway and you know what minsk itself is a very tranquil very well run city this is out of character for better russians they're not violent people they certainly would only protest on what they would see as something of last resort and you know. could be violent against night very much so it could be more violent than last night it depends on how do you respond it depends on how far the protesters are willing to go it depends on and look a lot of factors you know. blaming outsiders for stoking protests blame in russia for supporting the opposition a couple of weeks ago now he's blaming the polish the czechs the british i mean you know he's didn't say it was alleged that people working for the state department had been found in minsk and kicked out a couple of weeks ago russian mercenaries were arrested and accused of trying to
7:08 pm
forment unrest in the country i mean it is a pretty you know he's certain to you know he's taking a white view on who is posting meddling in this country. the genie is out of the bottle as far as the concept of public protests are concerned. and throughout. it seems this time the protests have some legs to them that have some of your ability. that's not to say that. could not achieve a total credit now if you wish but at what cost so i think that. bookish ingo may not even see his call to her. there's. declining credibility for him but her. the people in dolorous are seeing the examples of protests around the world they're certainly taking heart from this and i think they're going to give the military security authorities ok great deal of concern about it believe that this is the
7:09 pm
kind of unrest which can be easily suppressed. over to the states now i don't trump has confirmed the secret service was involved in a shooting outside the white house the president was briefed evacuated from a briefing inside the building the details let's cross live to caleb more pain kate a bagful coming on just give us an update what's the latest on the situation right now well just a few minutes after donald trump had begun speaking and giving a scheduled press conference suddenly we saw the secret service come up and whisk the president way from the podium where the country was watching on t.v. and folks was quite nervous about what happened but after a little bit we had the president of the united states come back up to the podium and the press conference resume this is how donald trump explained what the interruption and the secret service taking him from the podium was really about
7:10 pm
this is donald trump. there was a shooting outside of the white house somebody has been taken to the hospital i don't know the condition of the person seems that the person was was shot by secret service so that was donald trump explaining that basically there was shooting outside of the white house now since then we have learned that there was an individual who was shot by law enforcement we have not yet heard from the secret service about what exactly went on but law enforcement in washington d.c. has confirmed that there is an individual who was outside the white house they were shot by law enforcement they were taken to the hospital they are in custody the person appears to be alive and details about them have not completely surfaced as of yet now people are putting this into the context of the entire situation in the united states where donald trump's opponents have gotten very loud and there have been a lot of protests in the streets there is fear coming from both democrats and republicans
7:11 pm
that the upcoming election could somehow be unfair or illegitimate or somehow not not represent the will of the people who just talk about mail voting fraud there's talk about about voter registration and suppression of voters in some states and the whole country seems to be very very on edge so when the country was watching the president of united states week he got up to the podium and then was whisked away and you can bet that many people around the country were holding their breath it was a very nervous situation but the moment everything appears to be under control we'll be getting more details about who this individual who was shot outside the white house really was going to be i mean there white house briefings that was sort of draw more of a kind of but kind of open there with the latest details on that incident at the white house. now lebanon's prime minister and the entire cabinet have resigned following last week's devastating explosion in beirut mass protests have been held every day since then people have been demanding
7:12 pm
accountability for the $150.00 plus deaths and utter destruction caused by the blast our correspondent paula 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 designed 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
7:13 pm
policeman so far has been killed i don't 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. 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
7:14 pm
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 they 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 the explosion at the port but also on the whole mismanagement of the government and its failure to take accountability and responsibility. for beirut based investment banker colleagues they don't believe that resignation could eventually lead to positive changes in the country. i think the majority of those that are for testing 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 as it is and it's as if for the government to resign it actually creates an opening for you know a new manager and a new dynamic which can potentially need to weigh
7:15 pm
a more stable and acceptable strain were to run or to basically be able to undertake this huge. lot explosion in beirut has changed many lives in the city forever one family it's only added to their heartache they want to in hospital dealing with their daughter's cats when the blast struck a 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 loved you oh you know you are you know i love 6 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 sunny season but this year trouble started to loom on the horizon early when her daughter was diagnosed with cancer they called me in the

7:23 pm
demanding to offer its efforts to stop migrants trying to reach the u.k. the news hasn't gone down well in downing street was she is said to be drawing up plans to deploy the navy to help show the reports from paris. 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 from 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 reach their life's 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 do you with the issue of these illegal crossings properly on the aids now that's left apparently westminster pretty scathing
7:24 pm
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
7:25 pm
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 came 2nd to pretty bitter. downstate new appointment this is the appointment of contest dining channel right commander this is somebody who is going to be monitoring all the agencies that channel for things like illegal migration somebody who should be able to sort the problem out and do you take up with this even suggested that it may have to use its 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 as they call it 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 clock is ticking at the
7:26 pm
moment the u.k. has the right and of the dubreuil to said 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. pandemic lockdowns have varied from country to country with some of the world's poorest facing the toughest restrictions documentary makers redfish have been following moderates in west africa here's what they found. as i would have been the whole month on. monday to fill. in for now that i'm missing. in october offical you love me enough to do to help all but

7:29 pm
a serious violation now we do have the response from russia's ministry of foreign affairs it says that there will be a mirror response from moscow to the diplomats expulsion and as far as what russia's diplomatic mission in slovakia has said we still have not heard anything from them now this is not the 1st time there's been a diplomatic mishap between moscow and the european union for example back in june the czech government actually expelled another 2 russian diplomats after they were accused of spreading misinformation about a potential attacks on czech politicians in december another 2 russian diplomats were also expelled from germany they were accused of having some sort of connection with the high profile murder of a georgian national that took place last year of course that was not proven and now the slovakian media is actually connecting this most recent expulsion to that murder as well it was going to be here in moscow changing perceptions of
