4:02 am
that unrest has turned deadly now too we can report one protester was confirmed killed overnight becoming the 1st casualty of a crisis that's unlikely to fade away any time soon. i. think they're just taking in the people that are doing i think you. have swallowed us here years ago i've come out but i want to leave in a free and peaceful country for goodness that if you. watch the whole march of this mass that is going on can you take i don't understand what hold. well it's the worst civil unrest belarus a seen since the country emerged from the soviet union nearly 30 years ago so protesters are also resorting to petrol bombs and building barricades one was
4:03 am
reported to have driven a car at a riot officer as for president bush and co he insists the police response is appropriate in the face of mounting concern from abroad including the united states . 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 allowing them to talk about their 30 people around $25.00 police officers have been injured legs hands broken they would deliberately hears it so they responded with why are you crying and the response will be adequate and we will not allow you to tear the country apart what it. all was that what the but a number of low level protests from the russian citizens living abroad to including here in moscow there was a gathering outside the embassy as experts call for change back home and a number of russians gathered to demanding the release of russian journalists
4:04 am
who've been detained in minsk let's get across that because outside said embassy well again not the level of what's please see it in belarus as we've been reporting on there but of course. there were some happenings last night that take us through what's going on then. kevin hello again well i imagine the following situation and a post soviet republic russia's western neighbor the opposition day the gearing up for a nonstop protest like there's no tomorrow against a president who is a covert dissident and who's been in power for more than 25 years some have been posting instructions of how to go in combat with police how to build barricades and in fact there have been instances of officials or authorities being attacked by the protesters then on the other hand the president claimed alights
4:05 am
land slide sorry victory in a poll where he pretty much didn't allow any international observers ironically because of covert 19 and also mr lucas sankoh made it clear that he won't tolerate anything close to the kind of protests that we saw in neighboring ukraine and and these kind of circumstances when the officers seem to have gotten the order to get hold of anyone who even dares to come out in the street and try and voice their discontent. probably journalists are the ones that 2 become are becoming most vulnerable after the protestors themselves and we've seen proof of that on monday when quite a few journalists were detained in the capital of belarus and elsewhere and one of them was my colleague r t russian correspondent constraints but at the bottom of this is what he told us.
4:06 am
yes but i see it on can i ask riot police officers where the road was blocked and they said for no it's no no but come with us they trusted my hands and pushed me into their vehicle to hug. it was something to that what i thought i should say they didn't beat me they behaved relatively well i was belligerent police can be able to do all they put a plastic tonico my hands on that didn't tighten it too much it was difficult to breathe so i didn't have enough force to climb on to the vehicles to just follow next morning. so these weren't just single isolated cases and i can tell you that connection with some reporters were a was lost for more than day but luckily enough. constantine was released very quickly and he didn't suffer any injuries but there were other cases like that of experienced work or spotted sealed bag of who was seen being carried away seemingly unconscious after being beaten up and i can tell you that i never a fellow correspondents people from a russian t.v.
4:07 am
came here outside the embassy of belarus in moscow to send a very strong message to the authorities in minsk on monday night. when you put all of this means i'm renting simeone pay 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 saw a photo of a guy being dragged by his hands that looks like simular but not his clothes so i forgot about it and on monday it turns out it was him see if there's a section on the scene known and others in the long list of journalists no matter russian or not were being used violence against journalists is unacceptable they aren't participants in the events there are observers covering them. the support for the opposition is growing if you look at the telegram channels for example they don't want to give up because some of them only had 100 or
4:08 am
a 1000 followers the ones to which the word was being spread now that number has gone up to hundreds of thousands so that is quite a signal of the other hand with rubber bullets with all the riot gear with water cannons against the police are making it clear the authorities are making it clear that they won't tolerate any of this so potentially there is more trouble to come for the protesters and police and unfortunately possibly the journalists as well you know as you say the really critical time right now especially in the next couple of days and where it's going to go deceived again tonight to try and get from the outside the better watch them to see in that central moscow thank you. focusing on where this may go that we've been discussing developments with a number of analysts to try and get a handle on it to bring you here's what they say about the significance of what's happened so far. when you look at the pictures coming out. they really look quite spontaneous rather disorganized not really something which is being centrally
4:09 am
controlled it's a surprising that they've got so high and so so quickly if you compare this for instance the crane and the mine down protests it a while for the violence to ramp up as this seems to started on a more violent basis but it seems this time the protests have some legs to them that they have some validity that's not to say that. could not achieve a total credit go if you wish but at what cost the people in the route are seeing the examples of protest around the world certainly taking heart from this shingle is blaming outside your stalking protest now he's blaming the polish the czechs british i mean the signal white view on who is supposed to be meddling in this country if anybody knows been a rooster it's been there right now it's very very true and country normally it's not known for protests this is out of character federations they're not violent
4:10 am
people they certainly would only protest what they see as something of last resort . the lebanese government the prime minister have resigned after mounting public anger following last tuesday's devastating chemical explosions the number of deaths is now thought to be over 200 and hundreds of thousands are homeless there's been days of protests over it as local squarely blame the government citing years of endemic corruption a middle east correspondent paula slayer the reporting next this morning from there one of the overnight disturbances for you. situation here is becoming more and more unruly behind you you seem to be 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 here 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 was signed along with his cabinet but what the
4:11 am
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 could be some and 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. through.
4:12 am
the. 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 it. to using both tear gas and live bullets we're going to move forward again because they can't get coming in this direction 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 the whole mismanagement of the government and its failure to take accountability and responsibility this is actually the 2nd. one it's. really
4:13 am
a government resign engine or job last year and then really remainders of corruption if i wasn't you want so it may well be the person you know remains in power as a church of prime minister for another 2 so your 4 months are just as well not 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 the things that could launch a new parliamentary elections in the hope that new candidates will emerge while the same old problem is the past 30 years and you get the new expression you get in strongly. and that scene again apocalyptic a guess you could call it almost nothing left of the site where nearly $3000.00 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded but the repercussions of course being felt across the city and the wider country the already stretched health service the site itself overwhelmed by the thousands of injured victims having to deal with covert already
4:14 am
so stretched with thousands of homes and businesses now destroyed it's left an incalculable toll on families and their livelihoods like this next couple on their wedding day we're about to show you simply trying to film which should have been the happiest day of their lives and luckily they did survive we hear from their family. all of those little. upside. but it's not a live. shot. dead

know that he had to these strict new rules to combat the spread of the virus there's been a post code in the daily infections right there was more than 2000 load on friday shall do penske reports from 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 moscow. areas indicated on this map in red show where the new rules will be inforced the aim is to slow down there is option of the covered $1000.00 a 2nd wave is expected there's an urgent need to strengthen prevention measures if we do not want a new lock down as well as outdoor markets and the busy streets wearing the mask is

no obligatory for anyone walking here along the banks of the sen though some are already 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 assess where it's uncomfortable it makes even more seek what i don't invest in the decision because we already were called leaves mosques but in the street we are not in contact with people for long. you know her many people with whom virus so it's important to have lost for good health. good i see that on the street a lot of people do not wear masks i don't think that. checks will be carried out to ensure compliance but in all the french cities more extreme measures oh being

taken. here in nice cameras equipped with the loudspeaker being used in a bid to remind people that masks must be worn so much have questioned the signs behind the mask wiring in an open environment so far no cluster originating from an open environment has been revealed in france while a recent japanese study estimated that you are almost 20 times less likely to contract the virus outside civic through the best because it is true that wearing masks is important as they protect others and ourselves but what is difficult to accept is that masks are believe it or in some places where we are not in danger and where we wouldn't put others in danger but it is jurists might find it confusing when they come here and there monitored by cameras obliged to wear masks
4:21 am
and here in los because reminding everybody to keep their distance i know it is annoying but i wear a mask even when it's 30 degrees i prefer to stand at home and not being able to work i think mosques are effective in crowded places like home public transport on main street or in shopping malls even the french health minister has conceded that masks hold to the transmission of. local so he said that the advice has to stand from need to hang on the french need to hang on you've 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 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 the last. to control the spread of the virus it's possible that

most recent exploits in venezuela where he was appointed on boy just weeks before the failed coup against president nicolas maduro no dictatorship. 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 endeavor. credit 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 glad i'm all up for ronald reagan's administration.

washington says abrams as its new envoy but for turan 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 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 it a cover in the one well that's just a snapshot this last half hour of the stories we're talking about today so much more dirty dot com so much more of various social media why not to check it out if
