aspirations however the opposition holding those statements issued their own saying that their falls have nothing to do with the reality and it sounds at manuka lation and they also said that they plan to on or all of the existing agreements with russia and other partner countries as well as here with the shanghai had to say yes it is. statements have been made by some western countries who don't even know where belarus is and have no idea what is happening here but nevertheless they make these statements we have reacted to this and deployed army units in our western borders and have brought them to full combat readiness meanwhile top european political figures continue seeking the kremlin's stance in the issue in a bill or rousseau european council president charles michel said that he spoke to let me putin on tuesday and said that the e.u. began working on personal sanctions against all those responsible for human rights

violations against peaceful protesters michelle added that there should be no outside interference in this matter now in 2 separate cell phone calls and shoes day and they shaded by burned and paris let him is good and spoke to his counterparts angela merkel and a man. in a crawl in and he said that any exam by outside forces to intervene in the internal political crisis in bella roosts is counterproductive and he stressed that placing external pressure on the officials in the bill of rights is unacceptable now german chancellor angela merkel also outlined germany's position after the phone call with a lot of episodes and let's have a listen to issue and help or today as spoke with russian president putin and made it clear once again that freedom of expression and the right to demonstrate must be guaranteed that prisoners must be released and that there must be a national dialogue to settle things peacefully in belarus we will continue to

discuss this to more all these talks with the russian leader are taking place as head of the european union summit on bella ruse the e.u. leaders planning to meet via video conference on a wednesday and meanwhile no matter the resolution it's clear that the european union one says the no russia's future in the internal situation in belarus. eastern europe specialist ben arison believes the belarus a crisis is a major concern for both russia and the e.u. . a few days ago a look at. the kremlin and said that he was going to ask who's in it supports the suggestion was that the present was reaching out 'd to the russians or 'd you know significant force riot police fear troops in order to quell the protests by brute force and it's raised the question will russia invades.

russia where there's been a lot of speculation navy terms of the people to follow the situation closely and that idea has been pretty written off putin is unlikely to do that the veteran population has actually a warm image of russia and see them as friends and they fought so hard to oust look the shanker that if person came in and crushed the. demonstrations by force and kept the percent go in office by force then the entire population with then suddenly turn against russia and putin and then you'd end up with another ukraine situation which the kremlin doesn't want so because of these. you've got macron and merkel 'd reaching out the e.u. has been very aggressive they said they've warned russia that there should be no overt or covert interference in the domestic policies under the threat of facing new renewed extremely quote unquote heavy sanctions if it's seen to do that but i

think it's going to come back with exactly the same argument in fact and he did say explicitly to merkel this morning in that telephone call that there should be no west in in the domestic politics of. more of the e.u. all this talk of values and said ideals will not actually do much to help the terrorists in the short term even if they're russia did help programs the role that matter a few 1000000000 dollars a year they come with a lot of strings and they're implemented very slowly at the. 'd in order to help in this time of need and struggling economy crisis everything on top of each other is russia which will come in rapidly help with money with investments lots of russian businessmen would love to expand their businesses there and do so very quickly and have some world class companies as well meanwhile the german government has confirmed that it's been in talks with the leader of the belorussian opposition

taken off sky fled to lithuania soon after the election party's daniel hawkins takes a closer look at those main challenger. but the roof is at boiling point its streets and squares are main packed with thousands of voices of discontent its people determined to be heard they feel the president just isn't listening they don't mind a new leader a symbol to unite them at a time of crisis. has become this symbol yet i'm not a politician my husband surrogate economically wanted to become the president of valorous he's now in prison for that almost unknown at the end of may the humble english teacher and interpreter to lead a quiet life until her husband is set again taken off ski a popular blogger and presidential candidate was disqualified from the presidential race and thrown in jail in an act of protest she took up the opposition husband's name and announced she would stand she said herself that she didn't want power at

one point telling supporters she's more comfortable frying cutlets in her role as stay at home mom you are just as good as i want to become president in order to restore justice in this country my campaign program won be familiar to everyone the main point is new honest and fair election. took an oscar was just a woman with a grudge like many he couldn't predict the crowds would turn her into a symbol. the bridge our constitution is not for women our society is not mature enough to vote for a woman. but as things got heated it seemed but i was ready perhaps not specifically for ticking off but for change yet despite condemning the results as false protests gaining traction she fled the country putting our family 1st. i have probably remained the soft woman that i originally was i know that many will

understand me many will condemn me and many will hate me but know this god forbid that you faced a choice that i had to face the children are the most important thing that we have in life yet for some in the west she really is one step away from the presidency with the german government already confirming it's held talks with the exiled opposition figure now she's no longer the english teacher mother or weak woman as she described herself days later she claims she's ready to step up to the plate as head over transitional government. i am prepared to act as a national leader. others could have been in her shoes but as opposition figures fell out of the picture taken off her was left as the last woman standing the accidental candidate with her latest announcement she's upped the ante time will tell whether she can meet the expectations of those that want her to lead that

change. the u.s. senate intelligence committee has released the final part of a report on alleged russian meddling in the 2016 election the document accuses vladimir putin of orchestrating the hack of democratic party servers a claim the russian government has repeatedly dismissed or to scale up and comments now on the latest findings. it is the 5th and final installment from the senate intelligence committee regarding allegations of russia and trump and the 2016 elections now the report is over a 1000 pages long it takes us to quite extravagant places from the ritz carlton hotel to the miss universe pageant and the ultimate conclusion of the report the long awaited conclusion is that russian president vladimir putin himself werder the hacking of the democratic national committee server take a listen the committee found that russian president vladimir putin ordered the

russian effort to hack competes networks and accounts affiliated with the democratic party and leak information damaging to hillary clinton and her campaign for president do they offer any proof well no they just simply state they have high confidence this is an intelligence community assertion that the russian government is responsible and that lattimer putin himself ordered the hacking of the d.n.c. and phrases like high confidence show up throughout the report for example the phrase likely is used 139 times furthermore the phrase almost certain shows up 23 times and the phrase seems shows up 39 times however despite all this high confidence and almost certainty the russian security services are blamed for the hacking of the d.n.c. server take a listen to this passage from the report beginning in march 26th seen offices of

the russian main intelligence directorate the g.r.u. successfully hacked competes networks belonging to the democratic national committee and the democratic congressional campaign committee and the e-mail accounts of clinton campaign officials and employees including campaign chairman john podesta the report claims that russian security services in gauged in spirit fishing and this gave them. access to the d n c server now at this point the main piece of evidence that they put forward to back up this claim is testimony from the tech firm known as crowd strike crowd strike you'll recall was hired by d.n.c. lawyers to look into the matter now crowd strike has come under a lot of scrutiny crowd strikes president ex f.b.i. official shawn henry testified that they saw a quote activity that we believed was consistent with activity we'd seen previously and had associated with the russian government in the same testimony and we also

testified that crowd strike never had any evidence the data was actually exfiltrate it i.e. stolen from the d.n.c. servers but regardless and not surprisingly we see wiki leaks also thrown into the report wiki leaks activity sort on played a key role in the russian campaign and very likely knew it was assisting the russian intelligence influence efforts from jill innocent as long denied these allegations and said he is simply not a russian operative however the allegations persist many americans looking at this report as well as many people around the world have got to be asking themselves how much longer is this russia gate story going to keep going is this final installment really the last report or will they find a way to get it back into the news once again writer charles or tell gave us his reaction to the intelligence report. whether one or another country may be interfering in our elections i think people are tired of that frankly and tired of

the endless investigation of the same issue 20 only to rush i have seen so far little evidence if not no evidence that that happened and on the balance of probabilities again when i say the way from looking to those 16 hillary clinton ran an atrocious campaign that's why she lost you've got to look at 16 and understand that hillary clinton went out of her way to offend a large percentage of the voting population she did not campaign effectively in key states she looks very ill on september 11th 2016 she was operating with her husband a corrupt foundation and has been since 1907 where hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars have gone missing their similar questions have all been joe biden and his family those are the big issues that are going to animate voters in this country. to a developing story now molly's president has appeared on state television to

announce his resignation after being detained on tuesday during a military revolt you brought him a bubble car kerry said the decision to leave power would avoid bloodshed in the country. you couldn't because you i would like to inform you of my decision to resign from my position with immediate effect and with all the legal consequences this entails the dissolution of the national assembly and of the government tuesday's uprising began with a shoot out at the military camp close to the capital a group of soldiers detained their senior officers before marching on the obama call and storming the president's residence the mutiny was swiftly condemned by the african union the e.u. and the head of the un the coup follows several months of protests in bali were saw the opposition demanding the president's resignation over corruption allegations and tear your rating security situation. a story in gerald horne claims the roots of mali's latest insurrection can be traced back to nato's intervention in libya 9

years ago. this unfortunate turn of events in mali which has been criticized by the african union headquartered in addis ababa ethiopia the kind of african body not unlike for example the european union this coup attempt was basically a result of the 2011 tragic overthrow and murder of more market doxie in libya engineer by the united states of america and its nato allies particularly britain and france that crew and murder of gadhafi led to leakage of tons of weapons which got into the hands of religious zealots who call themselves muslims who since that time have been waging a brutal and bitter war against the soldiers in mali the of whom have been killed as a result of this in turn has led to a french military intervention backed by the united states of america it's also

helped to generate unrest and instability and i should also add that these religious zealots who are waging this war ringback in mali are to act at least on officially but many gulf arab states who are quite friendly to washington and i should also say that the events in mali or a direct outgrowth of the cold war in so far as a founding father of independent mali decades ago kate was deposed in a coup sponsored by france because he was considered to be a socialist and a pan african is and that in turn helped to create this illogical vacuum that now is being filled by these religious zealots who despite this might be on the verge of seizing power and bomb a ko which could have a negative knock on effects throughout the neighborhood not least in cote d'ivoire

in guinea perhaps northern uganda. governments across europe are bracing for a 2nd 1000 wave and are again rolling out unpopular restrictions and the public is growing increasingly fed up as artie's peter oliver reports. as europe tries to tiptoe back to normality 2nd wave of covert 19 seems set to derail those hopes here in germany daily infections cost a 3 month peak last week the health minister in the country says this is partly due to so much in general people coming back from holidays people attending parties and other celebrations now is to buy into that and it's very difficult to make people stick to the moons after they've had 2 or 3 beers at a party such events make it especially easy for virus to spread so maybe we should stick to smaller family gatherings for a while longer germany has labeled most destinations in spain including the extremely popular destination of may yorka as high risk it another blow to the

already stricken spanish tourism industry but i think i mean i think the measures they're taking are a bit drastic we thought we had good prospects for september but now with travel companies sending people home it's getting very difficult it's good to be cautious but the situation here looks fine to me and now with no customers i don't know how long we can hold on you know back each of them on the plane has taken tough measures against college 19 social distancing masks as you can see we don't have outbreaks but the virus is everywhere you never know where you will be safe and where you can catch it let people travel because here we depend on the tourism and if we don't have to or is it will sink neighboring france has also been breaking records for all the wrong reasons marking up post lockdown high of over 3000 cases seen metropolises like paris and mall say expand outdoor areas with face

coverings a mandatory while work spaces are also set to become mosque zones so. it is a good idea but it won't be easy to make people respect the rules especially at work because they will have to spend the whole day there with a mosque on vision. i wear a mask it work every day and i think it's normal so for me nothing will change you know more person is a surge of cases in france and all the other countries so i know it's necessary to wear a mask i wear one every day at work a spike in cases among young people has seen the italian government step in to shut down discos and night clubs they'll also be a reintroduction on rules insisting that face coverings be worn in outdoor public spaces at night it's a pity that we did not see this government response before in my opinion everything should have been closed. we can be but i sympathize with those who own nightclubs it's not easy finding the balance between the interests of entrepreneurs and public

health foremost prevents we're going to be honest i don't think the club should have been reopened it all should have remained closed because the clubs are not essential in closing them prevented new cases both the number of cases in europe rises so does anger over covert prevention measures to the. i. no one wants to see a return to full lockdown and that places those in power in the own enviable position of having to try balance freedom with fighting cope with it as we try to work out which restrictions we want to be imposed and where the virus is determined to reimpose itself across the whole of europe these are all of the in.
