situation following the deadly blast in beirut earlier this month. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our to international i'm john thomas certainly glad to have you with us i thousands of factory workers have put down their tools and demanding a rerun of last week's a disputed election with many protesting in cities across the country president alexander lukashenko however has said a new vote will only be possible if the constitution is amend it. not in the but we need to adoption and you can situation you must adopt it's in a referendum because the previous constitution was adopted in the referendum in the end on dylan you can situation we can hold new elections if you want to pollinate

the presidency and local authorities because the mass protests continue in belarus where the workers from a various a major manufacturers factories plants and other places have walked out on a national strike and i'm talking about said different industries ultimo they have metallurgy mining to name just a few now they have put forward their demands and they are in the elections with all of the candidates the release of all political prisoners and dismissal of all those people who were responsible for the rigging of the election and the violation of human rights. groups. was. that was at. least.

it was. look at 2nd visit if he'll occasions where strikes are taking place and at one planned his departure was met with boos and whistles and and television gulped the slogans that's after he warned the protesters that they might lose their jobs just to put on you if you don't want to work here fine if you just leave nobody will stalk you or house you for that you thought you would so please eat some tomorrow just girl sorry to put you in such harsh terms are true but at a time like this is you have to be straight up wouldn't it. the for us on sunday at least 65000 people came out in support of alexander lukashenko and that's in minsk alone according to official figures from the interior ministry he spoke to his supporters at length thanking them for their dedication and support now for many

a bill or russians alexander lukashenko is a somewhat of a father figure who helped the country move out of the abyss back in the ninety's however not all of the people are happy with his 26 year tenure now earlier on monday r.t. spoke to one of angela the shankill protesters and here's what he said. we are really fed up with these people that's why we want to change this regime they beat my son when they release him and he came back he was so badly bruised that he couldn't even sit down so how should i work what's more important summary money or much shooter for the employees of the country's largest t.v. network also began their strike on monday and other media outlets and the belarus also followed suit. opponents in the presidential election that learn how to handle sco who's now in lithuania will share recorded and video address to her supporters

saying that she is ready to become the national leader. we all want to break this endless circle that you go trapped in 26 years ago i'm ready to take responsibility and become the leader so as to come the country and lead to do turns in the months and. pull the rally and support all father protesters and dealers continues in the russian capital as well for a 9th day in a row we've been here every day to cover it as you can see behind me well now the largest search now today they're all largest one was recorded on saturday when this line of protesters extended beyond the block difference people here from all walks of life and testers brolga shadow protests. but as you can see so far it's all been peaceful. much of the public anger in bellerose has been directed against the security forces and their harsh response to the unrest you can see the message in english belorussian lives matter in these pictures from independence square in the

capital our correspondent on the ground there in minutes before it. revolution is very similar there's a crowd of protesters here on independence square which is where they've been gathering every evening there are factory workers who went on strike this morning and medics running outside the health ministry which is just off the square so it's already become a tradition crowds gathering day to day and like yesterday there are no special forces out here just metal barriers so everything's moving along quite peacefully people are chanting the same slogans against the president resigned we are sick of you and so on it's noticeable that there are fewer people here today than on previous days there was already a sense of tiredness with no change in the situation. the authorities are accusing anti-government activists of violent behavior during the unrest this video was released earlier on monday by a russian investigative committee that allegedly shows a man forcing a truck driver out of his vehicle at gunpoint according to investigators the

protesters seized the vehicle and used to block it use it to block a road. meanwhile the e.u. has confirmed it is drawing up sanctions against the belorussian officials who are suspected of election fraud and violence against protesters some european lawmakers have challenge mr look at those legitimacy as president while claiming there is a threat of russian interference peter oliver picks up the story for us. well we've heard statements on monday from the number of the e.u. institutions on the unfolding situation in belarus the european parliament issued a statement in which they called for calm and for peace on the streets of minsk in other major cities but within that statement there was also a warning for russia we call on the russian federation to refrain from any interference covert or overt in belarus following the election and call on the e.u.

institutions and member states to vigilantly counter any russian actions in this regard the parliament wasn't the only european institution to be charming in on monday we also heard from the high representative for foreign affairs your state bar l. pretty much the e.u.'s foreign minister he said that the protests that we've seen over the weekend particularly that huge one in minsk that the sheer numbers clearly show that the belorussian people want a change but he also announced that the e.u. is currently drawing up a list of people that would be the target of e.u. sanctions the e.u. is working on new listings for sanctions against those responsible for violence repression of peaceful protests and the fortification of election results so while the parliament says that russia must keep out of bellary says the e.u. drawing up sanctions against russian officials hardly shows that they are willing to keep out of belarus themselves in fact senior figures senior leaders of member

states have been chime in saying that the e.u. should get involved more should interfere more particularly money would not go on the french president now when it comes to how this is developing on monday the german government confident that they have been holding talks with svetlana to kind of scare. the spokes person for the german government confirmed that the talks had taken place but he wouldn't be drawn on what exactly had been discussed. has taken off sky of course is in self-imposed isolation in lithuania another e.u. member state and has expressed a want to be installed as an interim leader in belarus until fresh elections can take place but all of this coming from the e.u. site doesn't really fit with that statement from the european parliament but ultimately the message coming from brussels coming from the e.u. in general seems to be russia you don't get involved in belarus but we are

certainly going to involve ourselves as much as we can. throughout the day we have been giving expert opinion on the events unfolding in bella ruse here are some of the reactions we've gotten so far. i think there is a problem now there's a preconception in the west that russia may. be tempted to intervene in belarus by whatever means largely because we're all looking back at what's happened in the brain. and i think maybe this is rather different but it's not necessarily how it looks when you look at it from london people will be expecting that maybe russia will act and one thing the european union is playing for you begin to roll in the roads and the they hear her stand out there because of

a grip the size the lives of the most so you look at single but they're the same time we accept the ground and we know that there is a gun to the weirdness that it will go on here is there more than $50000.00 of your poland in danger and there were one or sanctions against turkey so i assume that the european union is the rain who didn't want to read self within the big piece of metal or officer. and they are writing more or less like the great big guy and the have so corner or answer that it will russian this is something unacceptable because of the problems of the middle of. the my their membership of themselves i think the principle position anyone should be taking would be to see that nought governments outside of belarus should be getting involved in this we should leave this the people of belarus to decide their own future but of course

that's not going to happen in today's world so i think the european union imposing and threatening sanctions and tell you russia and so forth is absolutely hypocritical but also in. once again exposes you know there's no. dealing with russia. because russia is caught up in this is well i mean it is suppose it would please no particular friend. they must be worried too but what the impact of all this is going to be so it should with the best they reach try and discover what is going on in the minds of. i'm trying to put some sort of discussion between brussels and the wind and most cool. the lebanese president has said he is unable to resign as it would cause a power vacuum calls for michel aoun to go have been growing since the devastating chemical explosion that ripped through beirut's port earlier this month now last

week the lebanese cabinet including the prime minister resigned amid the mass protests with people blaming the tragedy on government incompetence recovery efforts are still going into beirut the disaster has put added strain on a country already in the throes of a crippling economic crisis earlier the international community pledged some $300000000.00 in aid to lebanon the blast that killed $178.00 injured thousands and left more than a quarter of a 1000000 people homeless. us is offering a financial lifeline to lebanon but only if the government agrees to certain reforms artie's done quarter comment. massive explosions in beirut during a sudden rest in its wake and it got to. lebanon to pay off. in ruins and leaders across the world have no doubt opened up the foreign aid relief valve as a result countries like germany the u.k. and even the u.s.

have stepped in to help out but when you accept money from washington you need to read the fine print when we see lebanese leaders committed to real change change in word and deed america and its international partners or us. systemic reforms a sustained financial support of course mr hale forgot to mention that u.s. sanctions are what many to believe the key cause of lebanon's economic woes but there is always someone who remembers. you have seen some countries hypocritically trying to portray themselves as defenders of the lebanese people and expressing sympathy for the lebanese people if they are honest they should remove these sanctions that they recently passed against the lebanese government nation and people and stop this hypocrisy and iran definitely knows how that feels at 1st donald trump said he'd be willing to give coronavirus aid to iran if it asked for it than when the country needed a 5 $1000000000.00 loan from the i.m.f. to deal with the pandemic washington protested for some reason even the united

nations called on the u.s. to lift its sanctions against the country only to get a big fat no from pompei oh i've heard people talking about sanctions there know that the world should know there are no sanctions that prevent humanitarian assistance medical supplies pharmaceuticals from going to iran and war torn syria it's a similar story washington announced a nearly $1000000000.00 increase in 2022 minutes carrying assistance at the very same time that it was creating a brand new sanctions regime against the country we are maintaining our maximum political and economic pressure to suspend the imposition of the sanctions the government of syria must meet similar conditions to go for a country in crisis that's not really difficult to get humanitarian aid from washington what they usually have to give in return however might not be that worth it. facebook is under fire again u.k. based counter extremist organization of the institute for strategic dialogue or d.

education secretary while accusing the system of being classist we spoke to one people whose marks were far lower than she expected. but when i opened my results and saw 3 days i went into complete shock absolute shock and i went to complete meltdown and i thought my last was just completely over i think to me it's a very clear case of discrimination i really fear for students like me that go to a further education college or a 6 phone call age or just a normal college really affected by this whereas they should have just based on the college that they go to that they have chosen to go to there are cases in in fact many cases where people don't do as well. but seem to really flourish a little so. this is there's no there's no there's no way of knowing what that student would have got other than the predictions that they were given by the
