interior ministry pledge that they will let all of the detainees go by the end all for this friday now so for around 2000 people have been freed and that's approximately a 3rd of all those who were detained during the week long almost a week long rally a lot. among those people who were detained were medics as well let's take a listen to this firsthand account as it was the women were lying on the floor and the men who were in the next hour they were constantly me so badly great just how lonely it was a terrible how the bloody frozen high lanes were just what we heard every night in the basement was terrible the prison guards were saying what's wrong is your life that's bad decided to act out and we lose war here because of some nonsense but what kind of doctors are you if you're not doctors i don't know what you are where louis is that's the sort of thing they shout at you and a lot of swear words that i don't want to repeat they were also saying this when you were 1st held in the street everyone driving by was shot it's

a person white ropes on their knees with a machine guns they had a machine that now protest in belarus have moved beyond the streets as factories bland send different markets began protesting expressing their son to geraghty with their bills at the mass rallies as well one of belarus's biggest tracks there's a tractor manufacturers well they suspended their operations partially after employees decided to walk out on strike now the prime minister all deliveries decided to visit at this plant and talk to the strikers however they were not satisfied with what the meeting and now they're heading towards the russian capital often means mad they're calling for reforms 3rd calling to bring justice to those who were hurt during the mass rallies and they're also calling for the departure of president look at shango now the president himself all here reacted to the growing

number of work your support testing and address the strikers by calling on them to get back to work and day he also promised that all of the detention cases that took place over the last all almost a week will be investigated meanwhile in syria minister all bellew small he. he apologized to the people who are hurt during the protest in a statement earlier on friday as well know of the 1st official results of the votes which took place last sunday was announced on friday and gave president lukashenko a landslide victory his opponents as it managed to cut off scale she dismissed the result state and it has absolutely nothing to do with reality as you call it she said that she will create a cold the nation council that will see to the peaceful transfer of power in the bill are reduced meanwhile this comes as the european union is also mulling

sanctions against a bill or is germany and the european union have both expressed concern and support for science sanctions on the the bill or russian officials calling mass arrests off the demonstrators but also a spokesman for german chancellor angela merkel she said that the bottom post election president has been a resource on the except civil and the chancellor was shocked by what she had seen how these statements a game just to head off a special video called will feed you for it ministers on friday who can be in to discuss the measures that they will take on the situation in belarus. but to discuss the latest developments let's bring in a bridge of s.k. a professor at the paris based national is the chief of languages and eastern civilizations welcome to the program is great to have you with us so they use moved quick with this conference sanctions are you surprised. no i'm not surprised i

think descension are not very doctor saw it means don't care or discussion was in european union because they are in a difficult situation because on what. they would like of course some political journey changes in their rooms but in the same guy they don't want to. serve their east towards russia and even know the reason why they did actually but a moment they didn't decide to darry hard sanction like they decided to work other can't. say well what do you expect the sponsors to target. would target apparently leaders of belarus but it's rather symbolical because actually. leader of that i was wrong for you western country and which one want to have to station relation with the western countries not very important acting told a moment for sanctions they are talking about are mostly symbolic and not really

profound we will see how the situation will change but for the moment it's. most western countries and especially i think germany wants to have the negotiation was as told to. change beds and not to not to go that route. so if that's taxes that are symbolic then is there something that there is won't be worried about what kind of reaction do you expect. i stated. better as i don't hold to look i should go riyadh but actually i think that we'll be ready to negotiate with western countries much easier for a human will be to negotiate. to negotiate with the opposition developers in opposition. to a certain extent i think he needs to discuss with. person in europe are demanding

everyone else the election how likely to think that is and i rerun of the election i think it's likely. or it's difficult to decide substring because it's a question of dorothy a look i should go pretend he won't be election and i actually difficult to know exactly what happened but if you if you decide to make a new election then he said an official who recalled nation that he was lying and he cannot do so new elections for example the moment i think it's not as a. solution will be some compromise the government some national unity government so until a dog but the problem is that the opposition has no political program except. they would all want to have

a new question go but we don't know what is their political program what is their economy good program worth is their social program so they're not ready in fact to . rise. the us they've already dismissed sunday's election calling it neither free nor fat 7 do they may have enough grounds for such craves. but apparently you know it's not. that in better we can we can think of an action are not completely impartial and completely free but i doubt that the opposition is saying doubt new caution and call not as direction is it is right i think. quite a lot of. people but not the majority but of course that's my impression. i don't i have no way to. verify how do elections

was carried on and your way no doubt. he was invited to do better and didn't call. during the election so it's hardly a lot of. foreign countries see if the date of the election can be cannot be trusted. the president of lithuania or the lamia his challenge to mr laicus i think is legitimacy as president and he also expressed fears the country may end up as part of russia what do you make of his concern and how rare is it. of course to do problem i think belarus is of course an independent state and will stay as an independent states but the question. is. be rather going into direction of eurasia which russia of course or rather with the western countries of course you question go along to be rather nuclear between east

and west and apparently no use in the physicians to situation with. chance. of course or lead to where you know it would be very. would be. on the. and independent can only be. seen as do your position is very western and that cannot be an acceptable because. it's used. in moscow cannot accept. would be a nato member so the question is is it about to be realistic is the question that is. belarus most. countries.

western country or you do when you know of course it's important. to come in. between you know to me doing you is linked with that network. their position is. that of s.k. professor at the paris based national is the choice of languages and of civilizations thank you for your time. the united arab emirates and israel have struck a peace accord the deal brokered by washington will see israel whole to square spike the next asian plants. happy the israeli prime minister said annexation is not completely off the table. sure sure there is no change in my plan to implement our sovereignty in judeo and somalia in full coordination with the united states i'm committed to it it's still on the table. palestinian leadership rejects what

the united arab emirates has done and considers it a betrayal of jerusalem and the palestinian cause nevertheless the scale of more pain now reports sunday believes that it's another player in the middle east which lies at the true heart of this new accord. israel and the united arab emirates have formally agreed to establish diplomatic ties now many see this as a historic move as for many years arab states have not recognized israel as a country this is a monumental step to forging ties of cooperation in the middle east donald trump's supporters say he deserves the nobel peace prize for arranging this but the palestinians aren't exactly thrilled with duce new arrangement the deal between. united arab emirates and israel is a betrayal of the palestinians given the historic. relationship that israel has had with the arab states in other words no peace. according to the old

formula no peace was possible until the palestinian issue was resolved in the past the mission is not result the palestinian authority is now formally withdrawing its envoy from the united arab emirates they say recognizing a country that is occupying them is simply unacceptable now in the diplomatic fallout of this deal we're starting to see what this is really all about aside from the u.a.e. israel and the united states there is a 4th country that is now showing up in a lot of the conversation surrounding the deal iran peace between the arabs and the israelis is in rome as well as nightmare no one has done more to intensify the conflict between the arabs and the israelis of iran what we see today is a new middle east the trend lines a very different today and we see the future is very much in the gulf and with israel and the post is with the iranian regime it clings to power on the basis of brute force. iran often labeled as israel's largest regional opponent has denounced

the deal the islamic republic of iran is confident that history will show that this was a mistake made by israel and this dagger that has been unjustly thrust by the united arab emirates into the backs of the palestinian people and all muslims will lead to strengthening resistance and the unity of the muslim people against israel as well as fuel confrontation in the region when donald trump visited saudi arabia he spoke of building an arab nato that would work as a coalition in the region opposing iran and fighting terrorism and it seems now this your story deals being revealed not so much to be about getting recognition for israel or protecting palestinians from an accession but about targeting one of washington's most longstanding opponents in the region there is definitely the pattern isn't toward iran and i think the timing is ideal given what's happening in beirut. the fact that hezbollah is now under pressure in lebanon

with the government having. resigned there so we have a coalition building disagreement rather than easing tensions in the gulf within the arab states will. harden stances continue to maintain the antagonism that we have. a. process rounding up its military presence in the eastern mediterranean that's off to talk to began all and gas exploration in disputed waters that paris says is deployment is only a temporary measure but it's predictions with ankara already strained with more his solid to ski. president matt corn has signaled that the along as tensions continue to rise between greece and turkey the situation in the eastern mediterranean is worrying 2 keys unilateral decisions on oil exploration are

causing tensions these must stop in order for a peaceful dialogue between neighboring and nato allies to take place but this seemingly didn't stop the french president from reinforcing france's military presence in the mediterranean it's confirmed paris will send to ref a and fighter jets and the naval frigate lafayette a move welcomed by the greek prime minister i think president mccrone for his cell a dirty emanuel mccraw is a true friend of greece but also a fervent defender of european values and international law the greek pm bill this as an act of solidarity but you only have to scratch the surface to see that there is more going on here in recent months cross has also found itself clashing with turkey in the mediterranean. these past few days we have seen turkish warships deliver syrian mercenaries to libyan soil this is

a serious and explicit in french moment of what was agreed upon in berlin i must reiterate the prerequisite for any political solution in libya is the cancellation of this document but with that incident still rushing from his mind it appears to have been keen to show solidarity with a fellow member in this case greece last month macko an even cooler for sanctions against turkey over these purported violations in the eastern mediterranean now the arrival of turkey's new seismic civvy vessel the school the attention of the e.u. the latest developments rick stream the worrying what is needed to be done is to engage in solving all the open issue. with principles of good neighborly relations international and positive engagement with fronts now bolstering its military might to aid greece's plight who are east is perhaps their feeling in bold and its place

its military on high alert recalling naval and air force personnel from their holidays turkey for its part says it will protect its rights toys and interests in coastal areas and with fronts now wading into the spot turkey's president is accused of provoking regional players into taking wrongful steps there is concern that this action by fronts rather than defeating the situation could in fact escalate it challenged even skate r.t. paris. still to come this friday students in germany have inadvertently been funding the radical anti fergie activist group via their tuition see it's all follow the money off the brake.

when i was trophy wrong why don't people just don't call. me lol if you have to shape out these days to come after him and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. no no crowd. no shots. action. no one. point show your thirst for action.

welcome back the massive explosion last week in beirut destroyed much of the city and locals have been left trying to pick up the pace is not just of the status of buildings but also their lives one local fashion designer shot his story. like i was always so happy we do facing the court i always sort is very artistic and inspiring because it's industrially enriching details how everything is rates look at the destruction the wreckage i don't how much time it would take to be

rebuilt. there are no words to describe it my team and a feeling that we could but thing going to be really low if you will no one was time to leave this building 10 minutes before the blast hit and think going through the most her expense the most important thing. the work of 20 years was destroyed in mere seconds it was because of this tuesday explosion which went up just across the street. smaller this is another challenge for us who we can get our hands on phones to rebuild they say there will be compensation but that's not certain and this isn't something we used to 11 and i hope we can get compensation to rebuild.

this american thinking of coming up with a new collection inspired by this very heartbreaking incident. really picking up the pieces i really need to come out with a collection inspired by beirut the suffering of beirut. students in germany have been funding the controversial activist group anti far without even knowing it it has come to light that part of the tuition fees paid to cologne university have been going to the group think this piece all of our ports. the antique fascist organization and tea for have received a lot of press in 2020 with even the president of the united states chime in the united states of america will be designating and as a terrorist organization here in germany they haven't received that type of criticism but there is a controversy surrounding the gifts of university students fees from cologne to go towards a contribution to the group for the 2020 to $21.00 winter semester each student at

the university of cologne pays $280.00 euro and $0.95 for $205.00 euro and $0.95 goes to the student council that's meant to pay the transport discounting worker's salary and for the department's work out of the $10000000.00 euro the council will take in around 8 and a half 1000 will be paid to the student branch antics. cake it's delicate because while. demonized here the way they are in the us a report by germany's internal security service that house some pretty strong things to say about a cake and the groups it's associated with conservative student groups in a not so happy that they have to contribute to a case without choice it shouldn't be that every student has to subsidize a group that has been classified as extremist by the office for the protection of

the constitution we regularly demand that the funding of n.t. for a k. be cut the majority of students who spoke to said they had absolutely no problem paying a contribution to our k. i don't know how much the payment is but i'm sure it is not enough and it should be higher i think it's good because it's important to something. deeply is dealing with many board and social issues and they're less you know ended and well being i think it's a good idea to go and. i think it does make sense and i think it is important and why political spectrum is represented here and he no problem that it is fine and from the student piece a k. has received funding from students at the university of cologne since it was set up 15 years ago neither the student body that doles out the funding nor the students themselves see any reason why that should change any time soon but while the name

continues to be mentioned in trembling tones by those in power the group may find themselves coming under more scrutiny. thanks for joining us here in aussie international where back in session is with the latest. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. as the u.s. economy was booming gaining numbers of people made homeless. you can work 40 hours 'd in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of it is that we're not financially equality
