themselves i envy myself i see i am the last and only dictator in europe. i'm not going to hold this position for a lifetime this soon as the people refuse my services i'll take my bag under my arm and i'm going. on board the populist train before it was cool before politicians like steve bannon and donald trump probably even knew the meaning of the word one of his most recent populist stunts involve the dismissal of bellerose his agricultural minister after the minister's cows failed to gain lucas shank those approval. what did you bring me here so why now to no security service to put you in handcuffs if a person does not understand that this is auschwitz and you put him in charge of the holding i did not understand you wish to. look i shan't go as a man of inspections meetings with bureaucrats and reprimands of government
5:06 pm
officials when the cameras are watching of course this puts a smile on the faces of ordinary people who struggle daily with bureaucratic red tape it's also the main reason why they call lucas shank obama for many baka is also a strong man who created an enclave of the soviet union which. then europe it's been a popular stance for years but now look at those image is facing some big problems . with. the people making sure local shango claims he won the election it seems like the security forces are on his side and for a while he only faced small pockets of pro western opposition but based on the brutality used by the police to control the situation arrests made of journalists and the death of a protester it seems like the entire country's view of the government is definitely turning sour.
5:07 pm
that it's possible lucas shank goes recent anti russia statements alley and made it his main base of support those who want closer cooperation with belarus is eastern neighbor we need to address the russian media reduce them not to say no incidents if you will see you need to get into the situation with dignity no you'll see good we have no gold to discredit the country clues to us arresting russian journalists didn't help the situation either. for the west he's always been europe's last dictator even look at himself said he knew people would dispute the election results whatever the case the belorussian president will need to father more support if he wants to remain at the head of the table. let's get reaction to all this now
5:08 pm
a speech the president of scientific research my assistant to jaroslaw for munchak welcome to the program it's great to have you with us and now we've seen protests every night this week on the streets of bellaver is where i like previously today's protests appear to remain peaceful without massive tensions and violence do you think this marks a turning point. i'm just back from the street really. peace poor people are calm but they're the joy of the whole but their gender change while this must be stopped people must be homeless from prison and we don't deserve. that means that. the election must be abolished by placing a new action or at least we should start the negotiation with the current. president on to proceed from there a dangerous situation. things are saying that. police being quite brutal towards protesters in previous days but today it's been quite peaceful what do you think it
5:09 pm
means the authorities have heard the message of the demonstrations not responding to that. well i think the last drop that broke the camel's back was the mass join you the problem is the state and the price of big truck when we read about is the plan we bear trap them dozens of different big commercial entities joining their protest saying that we demand not just a purchase from the government we need credible you need elections and then repeatedly change the situation. goes through we're going to where he's getting kind of closer and closer and smaller and that is why i think the minister of interior apologized for brutality and we are expecting the same approach and more pain is progress from come to morrow. and about the russian president is expected to give his 1st official statement following the protests. when when you
5:10 pm
think that will happen and what you think he will say. well the people demand free and fair election and that means that the force which we face 9th the oldest must believe. in the late it must be. thrown into the basket and i do not believe that that will happen so really this point there in time we do not know what kind of compromise bill. deliver but people are so saddened outraged by the way police broom brutally. beat people and we heard many rumors and bugged many more deaths in prisons in detention centers ordinary people so where that must be very very clean best against them and release of all prisoners including those busy who were detained before the presidential
5:11 pm

and other issues. however in his speech regarding the deal prime minister netanyahu said he's not giving up on the annexation plans but that he won't pursue them without washington support under the us israeli peace plan for the region outlined back in january the annexation was supposed to begin last month let's get reaction to this now and speak to independent political analyst alessandra bruno welcome to the program was great to have you with us now prime minister netanyahu says he'll still pursue i like station but only when he has the u.s. support is there is a face saving statement saying he seems so behind the controversial expansion plans . yes i think it is a delaying tactic but at the same time i think and the other prime minister and defense minister guns have no real plan on how to annex these
5:14 pm
territories because there is so much hostility. in the territories and also. there is there might be hostility in israel itself what do you do with all these palestinian. people will they become citizens and then outnumber the jewish population that is a key problem here but also i think this agreement is also a political. grandstanding on behalf of trump. and also netanyahu. who can deflect. his personal problems. political but due to criminal investigations into his affairs in israel and also for trump. this is a big diplomatic victory that he can bring up ahead of the
5:15 pm
u.s. election in fact i suspect that the formal agreement between israel and the united arab emirates will be signed in washington perhaps tobar or late september or close to the election and in the grand ceremony to highlight. the the. diplomatic importance of what's interesting about this deal is it appears to create alliance of countries who have one major thing in common and that's their dislike of it wrong do you think that can mean what lies at the heart of this breakthrough. yes there is definitely the going is and toward iran and i think the timing is ideal given what's happening in beirut and the fact that hezbollah is now the pressure in lebanon with the government having resigned there. so that the. meanwhile has to be
5:16 pm
said this agreement has been in the works for a long time now i think israel participated in the next. last year so this is not a surprise the timing perhaps is a surprise but it's also the iran factor is important there's also the qatar factor because qatar. has financially back. so i think this agreement rather than easing tensions in the gulf within the arab states cells within the gulf cooperation council will. harden stances or at least continue to maintain the antagonism that we have between qatar the united arab emirates and saudi arabia so there are 2 sides here i was wondering perino independent political analyst thank you for your time. thank

5:22 pm
have not addressed the reason i have 3 padlocks on my front door. kamel harris has got a resume full of working with the police locking people up and being unnecessarily gleeful about doing so she even took the move of jailing parents of children who were truant from school as california's attorney general camila harris fought against moves to release nonviolent offenders even after the court ordered her to do so as san francisco's district attorney she secured the conviction of over 1900 people 1st smoking marijuana these folks got a life long criminal records and often jail time however she then joked about the fact that she's a pot smoker herself have you all smoked i have ok again i had to and i inhaled i didn't i didn't have. a long time ago. at a time when police are not necessarily the most loved among rank and file democrats
5:23 pm
a certain catch phrases spreading across social media. kamel harris has done a lot in recent months to try and clean up her image she's gone to police brutality protests to shake hands and take photos she's a published an autobiography that presents herself and her career as a prosecutor as if she was fighting against racism on behalf of the downtrodden but some people just aren't buying it i watched the poll numbers go bomb bomb bomb down to almost nothing donald trump has indicated that he is not too worried about camila harris as she is not polling very well around the country however many are jubilant about the fact that a woman of color as finally joined
