or is it you seem gerrymander. sorts of democratic practices. in that world are welcome to. question the. headlining this tuesday 11th of august gunfire police clash is the 1st fatality the beller issue capital sees another night of unrest following the disputed presidential election several journalists have been detained to we'll bring you the latest. on are we getting tear gas ok am i'll break for a moment when i put on my mask i'm going on rest to the streets of beirut has the government on mass resignation has failed to quell public anger over last tuesday's

port plus claiming years of corruption and. facing facts in paris today the french capital enforces mandatory face coverings both indoors and out on the streets now sparking a mixed reaction from sweltering parisians amid a surge in covert cases that. it is indeed difficult it's uncomfortable it makes even more seek to leave people with coronavirus suicide to wear a mask. good morning live from art international's world to send here in moscow my name is kevin owen here for the next 30 minutes with the latest update for you thanks to choosing us by the way because stick around this is our top story that there's been a further night of disturbances in bell roofs in the wake of president lukashenko planning another landslide election when the result has been disputed. by the

opposition and has seen sporadic skirmishes on the street and riot police deployed the unrest now turned deadly one protester was confirmed killed overnight becoming the 1st casualty of the crisis the crisis that's unlikely to fade anytime soon e the. just take in the people that are doing i think. i've swallowed guess here yes i've come out but i want to leave in a free and peaceful country. i. was how much of this mass that's going on can you take i don't understand the toll. it is the worst civil unrest bellerose to seen since the country emerged from the

soviet union nearly 30 years ago one incident that was filmed check this soul riot police try to march a man on to a vehicle but after little confusion turns out it was just a regular bus most of the music of onlookers either which way though it's no laughing matter of course for other countries watching it all unfold from afar the u.s. state department's become the latest to criticize what's happening in better or worse . the u.s. is deeply concerned about the conduct of the election which was not free and fair severe restrictions on violence access for candidates intimidation tactics against opposition candidates and detentions of peaceful protesters and journalists marred the process of learning that you talk about the city it's around $25.00 police officers have been injured legs hands broken they would deliberately his it so they responded why are you crying the response will be adequate and we will not allow you to tear the country apart. what they have put it under

a low level protest from belarusian citizens living abroad to case in point here in moscow there is a gathering outside the embassy is x. perhaps call for change back home a number of russians gathered there as well also demanding the release of russian journalists have been detained amid so a lot going on there so get a speed on that then it is. outside that embassy hey morning the level of what was seen by the use of coast to take us through what did happen there beyond you last evening. kevin good morning well imagine the following kind of situation in a post soviet republic on the other hand the opposition were gearing up for protests like there's no tomorrow against a president who was a covert desailly it was and how or for he was been in power in fact for more than 25 years but then on the other hand the very same man claiming victory in a landslide election where pretty much international observers were banned from

ironically because of cold it and that very same man saying that he doesn't want to see anything near anything close to a mind on revolution in his country and. he pretty much warned that he will use all the constitutional rights that he has to stop this well and these kind of circumstances when officers pretty much all rest anyone who dares to start voicing some kind of discontent the next vulnerable person is perhaps the journalist who's walking by and this is exactly what we saw in delaware use on monday a number of journalists were detained in the coup including our t.v. russian correspondent constantine pretty the bi-lo and he was indeed violently to tape this is how he described what exactly happened to him. yes but i still thumping i was right police officers whether the road was blocked and they said for no it's no come with us twisted my hands and pushed me into their vehicle 200 or something to them what i thought i should say they didn't beat me he's not they

behaved relatively well it was belligerent please come back to school they put a plastic tonico my hands but didn't tighten it too much it was difficult to breathe so i didn't have enough force to climb on to the vehicle and just for the next move between us got a bit well so far. we understand that more than 20 journalists have been arrested in the cities of bella rose so i can say that constantine was relatively lucky but we did see pictures of his hall a colleague pretty much being carried away on conscience we still understand that 2 russian journalists their colleagues could not get in touch with them so there are worries that. as they are still in detention and there's no connection with them whatsoever what we did see here just outside the bell russian embassy in moscow last night were protests fellow colleagues came over to voice their support and

this is what we heard from some of the russian t.v. celebrities. when you go to but what is with me is i'm renting simeone pig go flat before going to minsk he texted me if something happens to me send money to my wife yesterday night i was monitoring events and sort of photo of a guy being dragged by his hands that looks like simulant but not his clothes so i forgot about it and on monday it turns out it was him see one additional misperception on is that you see none and others in the long list of journalists no matter russian or not we're against violence against journalists is not acceptable the aren't participants in the events there are observers covering them. well kevin like you were saying in belle russo the opposition is saying that they want to continue with their protests with the unrest and it does indeed

calm down a little bit in the morning but then as the day continues more sparks fly and protests do break out nationwide so perhaps past this continues to happen more journalists could get in trouble well we'll be following that and we'll tell you all about it yeah especially at night some of these kickoff isn't it hopefully no one else injured though in the. central moscow for now things keep us posted we've been discussing these developments with a number of analysts is what they have to say about the significance of these protests as they see it. you know pictures coming out how. they made it quite spontaneous rather disorganized not really something which is being sexually controlled and it is slightly surprising that it got so high and so so quickly. for instance the crane and the might sit a while for the violence to ramp up as this seems to started are 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 go 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 blaming outsiders for stoking protests now he's blaming the polish to check 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 like it's a very very trying 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 on what they would see as something of last resort to try to this next morning the lebanese government of the prime minister have resigned after mounting public anger following tuesday devastating chemical explosions the number of deaths

is now thought to be over 200 and hundreds of thousands are homeless that been days of protests and she knows local squarely blame the government citing years of endemic corruption they say our middle east correspondent paula slater next then from near to one of those overnight disturbances. situation here is becoming more and more unruly behind you you see the 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 fearing 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. 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 or back a camera man was injured at the same time the police are being accused of using excessive force and they have it. to using both tear gas and live bullets we going to move forward again because the tear gas is coming in this direction and 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 he also on the whole mismanagement of the government and its failure to take accountability and responsibility this is actually the 2nd governor his head was i don't know much of to. start really government resign engine turbo last year and then really remain just captured if it wasn't you want so it may well be that person you know remains you both as a church of prime minister for another 2 so you're 4 months are just as well know

you have to resign they want independent people who have some kind of reputation credibility and accountability so that's once in seconds and as i said here was that it seems that people want new parliamentary elections in the hope that new candidates would emerge while the same old model is the past 30 years and you can hear new expression you can strongly. this is a sorry sight is no time you see it there's almost nothing left of place with a 3000 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded but the repercussions of being felt when i threw the city across the country the already stretched health service there is found itself overwhelmed by the thousands of injured victims with thousands of homes and businesses now destroyed it's left the incalculable toll on families and their livelihoods.

often hope. for all the right. absolutely. but it's not a live. shot. or dead so what i mean i'm a dad and dad be. out of. the year. but out of. here because. joe was given a tad bit in. the. plane able to jump in here. but i feel. like

i should be. and martin was take with us out of my home and sleep us awful. but. that's what it looked at the time i must say knowledge a lot of. men don't know if you. don't haul no fish on. if you. will of course the cause of this all full blast is such a blast of known but now the investigation needs to establish why it was stored so dangerously for several years and whose responsibility that ultimately was the chemicals had been on a cargo ship called the m.v. ross a spirit were seized 7 years ago by a reporter for chills when that vessel was deemed and see where the now the captain

of the ross has told us through what happened then. coming to beirut for the pool to move the classification then we were granted permit. led us to the plots and we're taught later we were asked by some people how we had been allowed to enter to where it was such a cargo. and i was like how could i know we foiled all the papers the poor troll knew where we had been going to and fro with what kind of cargo the port knew that the ship was loaded with such a cargo and posed a danger when they found out the owners wish to get the vessel back they seized it if i were them i would give him $100000.00 just to get rid of that dangerous thing . over it as of now in paris wearing masks is mandatory both inside and out on the streets as

a sweltering summer in the french capital but residents and visitors alike must now it hit to the strict new rules to combat the spread of the corona virus as proposed lock down record in the daily infections rate with more than 2000 logged on friday charge is in paris for us. the french capital has become the latest city to make wearing a face mask a bleak a tree doors now in certain parts of paris and its suburbs it's no longer only shops and enclosed public spaces where you'll need one of these meaning on this street i can walk freely without a mask but as i turn here i am compelled to mask. areas indicated on this map in red show where the new rules will be enforced the aim is to slow down there is option of the covered $1000.00 a 2nd wave is expected there is an urgent need to strengthen prevention measures if

we do not want a new lockdown as well as outdoor markets and the busy streets wearing the mask is now obligatory for anyone walking here along the banks of the sen though some are room ready ignoring it with paris in the grip of a heat wave some have questioned the logic behind that decision sensible. especially here yesterday i think it was 40 degrees so the mosque is hard to take it is indeed difficult to swear it's uncomfortable it makes even more seek what i don't invest in the decision because we already work only was mosque but to street we are not in contact with people for long. people who is coronavirus susu boards and to wear a mask to good health i see that on the streets a lot of people don't wear masks i don't think that's a bubble checks will be carried out to ensure compliance but in other french

cities more extreme measures are being taken. that would be your vehicle here in a nice camera. equipped with the loudspeaker being used in a bid to remind people that masks must be worn so much have questioned the scientists behind the mask wiring in an open environment so far no cluster originating from an open environment has been revealed in fronts while a recent japanese study estimated that you are almost 20 times less likely to contract the virus outside civic through baskets it is true that wearing masks is important as they protect others and ourselves but what is difficult to accept is that masks are blanket or in some places where we are not in danger and where we wouldn't put others in danger we jurists might find it confusing when they come

here and there monitored by cameras obliged to wear masks and kiran because reminding everybody that just on this i know it is annoying but i wear a mask even 30 degrees i prefer to stand at home and not be the computer i think mosques are effective in crowded places public transport on main street or in shopping. even the french health minister has conceded that masks have been told to the transmission of. the. advice is to stand from need to hang on the french need to. have seen the increase in the circulation of the virus in france in europe and in the world and japan for example is facing a resumption of the circulation of the virus despite the wearing of mosques including in the outside. but a sprawl struggles to administer enough tests to keep up with the demand and the country's top scientific body warning that the battle could be lost at any moment

to control the spread of the virus it's possible that politicians feel the need to be seen doing something even if that something in this case wearing a mosque outdoors leaves many doubt to show that. off. paris. take the time to choose out international news update coming up then the mayor of chicago vows to get tough on sunday night's rioters and looters. to protest is one of the stories we got lined up for you after this quick break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from station let it be an arms race is also a spear in dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

again morning the mayor of chicago says she's coming for a loop and riots ravaged the city. it's something of a turnaround from the previously imposed president tough measures tomorrow because chavez has got this report about it. today many waking up to shock and devastation chaos erupting in the streets of chicago overnight hundreds of looters descending on the city's upscale magnificent mile and other shopping areas smashing windows and clearing out high end stores and what appeared to be orchestrated attacks these individuals in peugeot who can only be described as brazen and extensive criminal looting and destruction and to be clear this had nothing to do with will just have been protected 1st amendment expression the destruction unfolding just hours after a suspect fired at a police officer who then shot him authorities arresting more than 100 people while

at least 13 officers were injured chicago police superintendent david brown calling the acts peer criminality criminals took to the street with the confidence that there would be no cause for confidence consequences for their actions and i want to refuse to allow these cowardly acts to hold our city hostage. t.p.d. will not stand by here's our beautiful downtown become some place that people fear meantime over portland oregon that city declared yet another right on sunday while protesters blocked roads and set dumpster fires as they marched to the police union building where a fire was started in one of the offices and i earlier. several people seen lighting fires and throwing objects at officers the clashes occurring not even 2 weeks after federal officers left the city following weeks of violent clashes between them and protesters local leaders hope the withdrawal would calm

tensions between law enforcement and demonstrators meantime back to back the blue event in colorado demonstrators say that several fights broke out with black lives matter protesters and what looked like members of anti join the event even at one point attacking a man in a wheelchair or whatever in question treated each other's art. next. 6 goals pose including saudi arabia extending an arms embargo on iran in a letter to the u.n. the u.s. resolution said to be put to the vote later this week but it's widely expected to hit a veto hurdle of the security council meantime starting work as washington special envoy for iran is a veteran diplomat with quite a track record has done a cool to explain. i mean washington's friendly new envoy to iran mr elliott abrams who once had this to say a military strike at iran's nuclear facilities should be viewed as a realistic option he's anything but the new kid on the block though in fact he's

got a very long record of being not exactly diplomatic. you might have heard about his most recent exploits in venezuela where he was appointed on boy just weeks before the failed coup against president nicolas maduro no dictatorship lasts for ever on the sanctions there are plans to reinforce the effort the purpose of the effort is to diminish the resources available to the regime it's very hard i would say for me to see. a dictator such as the girl can really have a role to play in the building of a democratic venezuela. but venezuela wasn't elliot's only latin american adventure back in the 1980 s. he played an enterable part in trying to overthrow the governments of el salvador and nicaragua i'm quite amala for ronald reagan's administration.

it appears to be an incident which is at least being significantly missed used at the very best by the guerrillas. last but definitely not least a twist the iran contra affair when the us government facilitated the sale of weapons to iran and hoped to use the profits to fund drug smuggling concert rebels fighting the socialist government to nicaragua although the reagan administration was able to skirt the borders of legality abrams admittedly guilty. to lying to congress about it and was given a free pass by president george h.w. bush i fail to understand why members of this committee or the american people should find any testimony that you give today to be truthful

washington says abrams as its new envoy but for to rahm it's anything but new. no difference between john bolton bryan hook or elliott abrams when it comes to the u.s. iran policy american officials have bitten off more than they could chew same applies to my pompei o'donnell trump and successes in addition to promising to suffocate iran with maximum pressure of sanctions trump still hasn't provided a better nuclear deal than the one he took the us out of 2 years ago but who knows give him another 4 years and maybe it will get done if and when we win. we will make deals with the rand very quickly washington's been slapping sanctions and embargoes on iran for decades and you know what the country still kicking but don't worry throwing another war hawk at iran will work this time washington promises. don't call reporting now ai much fishel intelligence is becoming more and more
