a landslide victory in the election the following video contains some graphic images. yeah. but with all of you saying what do you think of it like oh that should look. good in the books because little by. you can hear gunshots a lot with the city wide between the protesters and the leaves erupt ambulances are all over the place the police have to move from one park to another trying to make sure they deter. the proudest at this level the police have not been too successful and you know what they are doing so people are going in 1003. well i'll tell you correspondent was arrested in minsk while covering the protests but he has since been released robot kosovo's outside the bar ocean embassy in moscow with the latest on the demonstrations. protest in men's scar continue and

they began on sunday following the election of the president at the moment the protests are happening across belarus not only in its capital several russian journalists had been detained by the below russian authorities and that includes 3 all for a ruptly strangers who worked for the video agency in a villa reuss now we are in the center of moscow right next to the bella russian embassy where another protest is taking place or rather a picket in solidarity with the opposition in belarus mostly young people who came here to express to rally in solidarity with the opposition in billers and here's what some of them had to say that we've come to support the belorussian people because at this difficult time they are not only fighting against the seizing of power with their own police aren't supporting them you know you're

familiar with yesterday i was 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 out i came to support the 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 shank all 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

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 was something similar took place in the ukrainian capital of kiev as well that meanwhile in duluth itself there protests are continuing and of course we here at r.t. will bring you up to date with any further developments. and we also spoke to a woman who claims she and her boyfriend were detained in the streets by police for seemingly just being outside. at the start of spring for me and my boyfriend who were out for a walk and we saw several special police unit buses and men cross 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 brought 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. now we've discussed the developing story with analysts here is what they say on the significance of the protests and bellows. when you look at the pictures coming out of minsk are they really quite spontaneous rather disorganized not really something which is being sexually controlled and it is a surprising that it got so violent so so quickly. for instance and in my town protests it took a while for the violence to ramp up as this seems to have started on a more violent basis it seems this time the protests have some legs to them that

they have some juror realty that's not to say that. could not achieve a total credit you know if you wish but at what cost the people in beirut are seeing examples of protest around the world they're certainly taking heart from this always blaming outsiders for stalking protests now he's blaming the polish the chicks the british i mean he's taking a white view on who's mostly meddling in this country if anybody knows better rooster that's been there it's a very very term country normally it's not known for protests this is out of character for better russians they're not violent people they certainly would only protest and what they would see is something of last resort. lebanon's prime minister and 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 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

policeman so far has been killed are no we 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 they tear gas is coming in this direction imply 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. based investment banker colleagues a darned believes the resignations could bring positive change to 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 the government resign it will at least create an opening for you know a new manager and a new dynamic which can potentially need to weigh

a more stable and acceptable strain want to run or to basically be able to undertake a huge. lot explosion in beirut has changed many lives in the city forever one family it's 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 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 didn't. i wanted to move into another hospital jihad died right before his daughter's eyes at 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. 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. her says. can you

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 there was a shooting outside of the white house someone 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 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

the upcoming election could somehow be unfair or were illegitimate are somehow not not represent the will of the people let's talk about male 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 the 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 why. $30000000.00 pounds that's the price francis said to be demanding to our police efforts the stop migrants trying to reach the u.k. the news hasn't gone down well in downing street which is said to be drawing up plans to deploy the navy to help charlotte devinsky 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 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 properly 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 2019 so 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't exactly pretty picture. has a 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 should be able to sort the problem out and u.k. government is 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 are talking to our french counterparts and we should 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 he is taking up the moment the u.k. has the right and the rules to send any 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 a 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 is what they found. as i would have been of all minds on. monday to fill. in for now that i'm missing. in october offical you don't really know if you don't know people but a feel of the whole of africa today will. look for the most. worst them worst. might want to add.

to this is if you offer any idea am. i put on a mental then after. them after me and you have to contract. ok. after 3 or you have to contrast that i'm going to get the country i mean. for me sounds crazy to me and everyone said oh no yeah you get. any i don't get anything so yeah i'm not going to get back on track. in order and. then i got more left than a bit. down and now. i miss when i

want to it. is making me crazy. for the u.s. state department has applauded slovakia's this isn't to expel 3 russian diplomats news of the expulsions was confirmed by the slack in foreign ministry old quarter household result. it was after the slovak government said that these diplomats were suspected of espionage that they were given until the end of the week to leave the country now slovakia's ministry of foreign affairs says that it only wants a good 2 way relations with moscow but that these diplomats have committed 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 as the headlines for this i will back at 5 am most a good time to bring you the latest news join us again live.

i know to no crow. no shots no. traction belts. when the weather's dry no one. points your thirst for action. during this year we talk about all those crazy problems out there and then during the summer we hit you with solutions that's right so lucian's and today we're going to be talking with oh big nose do of calling floor doc. u.k.

. coup d'etat the sudden fullest and illegal takeover of a government by a small group. some rather than revolutionaries will soon just conduct small group the corporations when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us don't get together and take it back. police are sacrificing some places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices for wealth use of that world for well into the forest world and there's no question that the coup d'etat was.

the time. when you have been. leavening battle is one of the many. believe in housing for octet if. it is taken initiated. at last we're getting an example like live. in this particular one i'll be your wife pounding on. this as i think represents the 100 housing rally deal 9. 100 pounds. just felt as one day to.
