it's rebirth of the industry i think nuclear power is our future. prosecutors in belarus opened a criminal case over allegations the opposition's newly formed ordination council is illegally trying to seize power something the euro backed body denies. despite the warning against meddling in belarus and european leaders agreed to impose sanctions on something accusations of hypocrisy. russian opposition figurehead alexander romney is it intensive care after falling sick during a flight to moscow. and canada's prime minister is accused of a cover up after suspending parliament at a time when the government is embroiled in a corruption scandal. you're

watching r t international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 6 pm welcome to the program. the russian prosecutors have opened a criminal case over the creation of the opposition's coronation council so there's a little bit of the creation of such organizations is illegal and their activity violates the constitution having realized down low for most of their actions a number of council members quit the body and reject its goals these include the illegal seizure of words the council poses a danger to national security. the chief prosecutor's words i feel what president alexander lukashenko said on wednesday at a security council meeting the so-called accord nation council for the transfer of power was established by the opposition leader. she's currently in self exile in

lithuania and her group in eyes and wrongdoing whatsoever it's now day 12 of nationwide unrest in belarus in the wake of the election a sign from as i look strike action many are now showing their support for the president on wednesday while crowds gathered in cities across the country. for more on this we're going to cross live now to political analyst check you're very welcome to the program as always now belorussian prosecutors are accusing the council of potting an illegal seizure of power opposition of course denies all of that where do you see this case actually going. jacqueline this is a very interesting situation because actually in below to say there is absolutely no crisis disguise this is basically created by the by the opposition and by the european union below is a comfortable pocket some cynics could say it's a comfortable soviet pocket of far off war. that is

the neighbor for a look a shingle created that everything is kind of working. everything from social system to to medical care education that all sport asian culture and so on again if i would want to be too cynical on would say that the people are just a little bit bored with the comfort which they have there are you know as see europe now is facing all sorts of social hour on the present crisis due to. 19 and other issues below actually standing going to speak in the store is fine and some people obviously had little bit enough will fall of discomfort and. by this opposition this uprising as it is being called they are aiming at the some at something else which they really don't know what it is they

are just being told and don't buy the opposition by european unity and that therefore they have to demand change they have to change the system but it can see now of the support for this oddity of this. 'd kind of disappearing because people are thinking ok now for the 1st time a what is going to happen if we really. have this change or are we going to end the play cue craven are we going to the. former soviet republics which were pushed into this independence. molt. are we going to basically or not of these so i think of many people who want to go now realizing that. they were fooled into this. that they would actually be better off if the government remains as it is. well

there are these pockets of people who do support look at shank oh but then we do have these massive protests and strikes that are still continuing this criminal probe into this coordination group could that actually deter them or is it actually possible that could galvanize their claim their issues with the government. i don't think it's going to will galvanize i think it may deter them but also let's not forget that. 'd the resistance so-called resistance that we see is what is active it's more this won't go we don't see the silent majority like in hong kong or like everybody else for the west actually create that those so-called opposition or i and so position movements what is the show on the are the local and loud. protesters or rioters is not being shown

of what is being said in the apartment blocks in the inside of the houses or as well as it's all it's often said in russia or below the kitchens where people gather and discuss the political situation and i think the kitchen and the houses are still support think majority of them are supporting the president look at shingle and then the system which they have because if it's going to collapse is going to be very scary i mean they will draw with this the industry is going to be grabbed by the european union as it was done in so many of places like even in the czech republic from where i'm speaking from chair here where the industry actually call lobster fell to the hands of siemens or for many western companies. where people lost control of the of gunky and i think

a lot of people are forming these trends. and the baltics. and even in the most successful companies that used to belong to the eastern bloc like here right now so i think they're following this and they are 'd probably realizing that this is not the way they want to go. maybe. it is still a solar system which. allows people to do no work to help with the eggs they. are getting. losing jobs or losing control over the story of the. political analysts on double check thank you for joining us on the program they. are minsk based correspondent went to a pro look rally yesterday and filed this report idea but just some people are

protesting while others are protesting against the protests i happened to meet my university friends here i asked them did anyone make you come out here they said no we are the organizers and i asked the same question to other people at the rally they said they wanted to be heard because those red and white flags are being shown everywhere and there is so much anger at the rallies in support of look for happening very spontaneously to get approval from local officials literally the day before gatherings like this are not so much for a look at but in support of stability in belarus and maintaining good relations with russia the e.u. has confirmed it's drawing up thanks again speller russian officials who are suspected of election fraud and violence against protesters the block hasn't disclosed yet whether or not alexander lukashenko himself is on the list in fact brussels lifted penalties on him 4 years ago meanwhile lithuania which shares a border with belarus has banned lucas franco and 31 other beller russian officials from entering the country you have stressed that there should be no foreign

meddling in the belorussian crisis. though that lithuania is doing precisely that with its sanction on the question. on wednesday evening the european union held an emergency video conference on the crisis a bloc unanimously rejected the results of the election are based on quarter takes a closer look at the signals coming from the e.u. . for the west bank it was always europe's last dictator the european union never liked the guy but they did try to play nice not anymore we stand by the people of belarus the european union student in so we don't reteach was a piece of better research by skills than most benefits should on its own choose brain dependent cost of the country will follow there should be no outside interference in the situation there just off things could no longer continue as they are in belarus now it's about when a dictator has come to the end of the road it's best to find

a way forward for the violence to suspicious in the western powers throw around words like dictator and regime usually it doesn't and well no wonder it sounds pretty alarming to moscow but who's going to be able to so you can just as we are deeply concerned about what's going on right now in better roofs we are concerned by the attempt to exploit to the internal challenges facing bella groups to interfere in them from a brutal it goes without saying belorussian president alexander lukashenko is also concerned that those in the. western countries are openly without hiding it raising funds and sending them to beller we cannot track all of the funds as much if it is in cash but we see that we know what's going on and we will focus on this issue. the airplane union isn't just paying lip service to the ballarat opposition either the millions of euros in aid it promised to the belorussian government are now being redirected to so-called civil society an independent media and the

european commission will mobilize now an additional $53000000.00 euros to support the belorussian people in these challenging times we can't forget the e.u. states neighboring valorous which seem to have their own agendas for one the polish prime minister seems to think belarus has close ties with russia make it incapable of democracy and there is a plan to. change that such of an economic plan should be prepared for the ruse because now it is highly dependent economically on russia poland is already presented to plan for intensive calls. in the areas of independent media the economy investment and thence national trends poland's plan involves spending a levon 1000000 euros on scholarships for media and academics that it deems to be independent warsaw is also generously offering to open its doors to balla russian workers just think what the loss of balance a skilled workers would do to help democracy. actions were not since

a few without name isn't on the fence we can and should extend a helping hand to the russians it's a similar story in lithuania where the opposition leader settle on a take on of sky isn't self-imposed exile and other belorussian anti-government n.g.o.s are operating from it's also where a fund raising initiative called freedom 1st to go bella reuss is being organized intended to encourage the creation of a democratic state aside from the fact that its director provided direct support to the ukrainian uprising in 2014 little is known about who is involved or where the money is coming from combined question surrounding the opposition's shady sources of funding with the e.u. is cold shoulder to lucas sankoh and you have to ask yourself who is going to really come out on top from the on rest and valorous it's important russia everything that we hear in the western media coming out of it was because. you're.

not a mere 6 above or an. east. so it's really what you think is one of the should be they've made the 1st steps all get in. the russians and so far. they've been very patient in the. people who are charged easy to believe that we are or. what a train that is one direction that is if you that's been going. ever since. mr rove is look up and it's. like a good community to. russian opposition figurehead i would say my husband haas was after falling ill during a flight to moscow a plane made an emergency landing in the city of or in a balmy is now in a coma in intensive care also on the plane he was heard howling and pain as

paramedics came to his aid. but. live now to our to his room on course or for the details at roma a lot of concern for obviously what's the latest on his condition. of course will alex in the violin mia became ill on thursday morning when he was on route to the russian capsule from the city off tomsk now his plane had to make an unscheduled landing in another city and they was promptly taken to the emergency room where he remains and at the moment he is in a coma now a latest report suggests that doctors preliminary diagnosis points to poisoning by a neuroleptic this is also known as an anti psychotic drug now medics continued testing

and also symptomatic treatments often exceed 70 but they have already ruled out a few things such as a brain hemorrhage head trauma epilepsy in just a few things that they have ruled out now the popular bloggers associates believe that he was poisoned and have already demanded from the authorities to launch a criminal investigation now one of them on these the personal doctors she said she received the latest information from the medics in nevada is right now. i don't know if he has regained consciousness the doctors gave me general medical information that he is in a serious condition let's hope that here gains consciousness to more. meanwhile the other person old medic while he spoke to the western media and says that he wants that wanted to be evacuated to the european union and he's already in talks with

clinics in france and in germany now the kremlin said that it's ready to give the green light for anything that's necessary in order to transports and avoiding the the european union despite the fact that the borders of the country are closed now these are called the 19 and they wish them well and to get well very soon as have others. of course any request to visit a foreign clinic would be approved as soon as possible if there is such a request for russian citizens to visit other countries for medical treatment despite of the coups border. now staff they welcomed this offer from the kremlin and they will now officially their request to help to evacuate a lot of it's one of toxicology clinics in the european union. artie's romano thank you for bringing us that report. lebanon is set to enter a 2 week lockdown starting from friday as it struggles to cope with a sharp rise in code in 1000 cases the country's health care system has been pushed

to bring point after a catastrophic explosion in beirut put 3 hospitals and half the capital's clinics out of operation a new video has emerged showing the destruction of some of those facilities a warning though you might find the following video upsetting. by.

this according to the red cross the tragedy left at least 200 people dead and over 6000 injured in addition to that 300000 people also lost their homes it's believed that a fire and a warehouse at the port caused the detonation of a huge amount of ammonium nitrate a chemical compound had reportedly been stored in unsafe conditions for years it's estimated that it could cost up to $15000000000.00 to repair the damage to the city .

the military and mali say they will pave the way for new elections in the country and insist they will set up a seville. transitional government in the meantime as other soldiers stage a coup to present neighbor him by the car key to step down others whose day all these former colonial power and key ally france has condemned the coup and is killed up in reports purses track record in the region in quelling violence and unrest is open to scrutiny. forced to step down the president of mali has been detained by the military after months of protest.

but. the former leader has been accused of mismanaging the economy corruption and worsening the situation when it came to the fight with jihad just groups in the north however he did enjoy the backing of france smalley's former colonizer and french troops have been in mali since 2013 to keep terrorists at bay the results in the country has been rather modest the security situation in mali has recently deteriorated. the security situation in the sahara countries has deteriorated considerably in recent months conflicts prevailing in the region are have an unprecedented humanitarian consequences on civilian populations face an insecurity and displacement french president emmanuel mcbride actually believes that the operations are successful because of who i mean you'll be able to see we've improved their effectiveness in information exchange and the fight

against terrorism and succeeded with their unique information center in niamey we have achieved strong results especially in recent weeks. france recently raised the number of troops in the region to 5000 but locals say they want them out and. the reason we're protesting is that france has been here in our country for 7 years but people die if we had 10 difficulties when france arrived we now have 90 france came to help us to fight terrorism but now each of us is questioning if it has indeed been for. our impression is daily suffering it is as who called friends to help we called it to help us fight terrorism thank god france keen that they came to help but they came to destroy us i don't know when you look if our leaders do not dare tell them to leave we will tell them we won the mouth of the country. many analysts don't point the finger at france for the situation but actually point to nato as intervention in nearby libya which are least

a torrent of terrorism in the region if you want to look at the worse. one is scarier to develop all northern africa and to is the fact that the obama administration a friend precipitated leaving sleep regime change against president khadafi and then in 2012 and twice breaks out of libya of course a jury of worship and serve on serious heart and dated more than molly and this led to the collapse of the government 2012 and now it's never recovered so this invasion which was precipitated by people knew bombing stations meant hours seems right. to get me french president. how many observers are wondering if the situation will

deteriorate even further if toppling the president of mali lead to further terrorism and violence well if france is record seems to be. point to anything it's that the presence of foreign troops doesn't really help the situation a little pop and artsy new york. the only power plant in gaza has shut down after israel stop supplying fuel that was in response to cross border fire from hamas the population of 2000000 relies on israel for most of its energy needs they currently get about 6 hours of electricity a day which could now be cut to just 3 hours the power cuts are in most major concern for hospitals in particular. either. why does only gaza have to deal with this problem it could put 75 percent of patients lives at risk patients will die if there's no electricity here treatment times will have to be caught. risky i could be at one of the machines will not work and stuff will be forced to shorten the

duration of dialysis this will cause suffering for patients and some could die we need to provide the treatment for 4 hours every 3 days it will be a disaster and many people will suffer this is totally wrong it's put in the health of so many people the trees people might not survive. well. i feel bad and i can't sleep i used to ask my daughter to help me without electricity there will be no dialysis. health officials in gaza say that surgical operations on intensive care are at greatest risk and coping 1000 testing labs may have to halt their operations medical services need hundreds of thousands of liters of fuel to provide normal levels of care the ministry of health has called for an urgent resolution to the issue. cutting off electricity to hospitals will have a dangerous effect on all health services provided in the gaza strip we call on all relevant parties to intervene to solve this problem and save the health sector in

gaza by restarting the power plants again. human rights activists say the halt in filth applies amounts to collective punishment targeting people's basic needs. out of the israeli decision to close the crossings and block shipments and the resulting power cutoff is a dangerous escalation and collective punishment of gaza it violates international law and basic human decency it is political blackmail. in a surprise move canadian prime minister justin trudeau has suspended the country's parliament that's despite vowing in the past never to make use of this legislative power critics are accusing the canadian leader of trying to dodge scrutiny our prez government's role and the growing ethics scandal that also involves his family i have asked the governor general to probe the parliament which must happen before any government can present a throne speech starting a new session of parliament is about creating sustainable ways to support you

moving forward that has always been our number one focus and it always will be just introduce. his right hand to try and save himself when he forced his finance minister to resign now he is shutting down parliament and looking out of position m.p.'s to prevent us from holding him accountable and getting answers on his we scandal shutting down parliament in the middle of a pandemic and an economic crisis with a plan sitting next week in committees working hard to get answers and solutions for canadians is wrong. trudeau has justified the 5 week suspension with the need to reassess the parliament's agenda several of its committees had been investigating the government's actions including a student grant program canada's independent ethics watchdog is also separately investigating the prime minister is being probed over alleged breaches of conflict of interest laws that's for awarding a $690000000.00 student grant program to wee charity which has ties to the p.m.'s

relatives has dismissed allegations of preferential treatment we charity and the government have sense and their partnership the prime minister has been reprimanded by the country's ethics watchdog twice before last year he was probed for pressuring his former attorney general to help a major canadian company settle a corruption case out of court journalist pablo bevan co says this latest scandal is unlikely to go away. a number of high ranking liberals including the prime minister were connected with the charity his family members his mother and his brother received close over $300000.00 in paid speaking opportunities with that organisation i do think that over the last couple of years his character has as being damaged by his own actions by his own words by his past and how that conflicts with those present by the things he's seeing versus the

things that it's doing and the recent use of the probation as well as the we scandal are things which are continuing amounts of that i do believe that when it went on at election does little in the near future that the liberal party could perhaps be looking at somebody else to lead. that's been our roundup of the day's top stories for now but for further details and up to the minute reports follow us on facebook or instagram.
