that's an. engagement. headline stories nationwide. for a 12 day. you warning against. european leaders. flight. western media speculation of. even.

a deadly explosion. newly released surveillance video shows a moment. around the clock across the world r.t. international from the team myself you know me a little welcome. it's day 12 nationwide. in the wake. of this month large crowds on both sides of the making their voices heard those who support president alexander lukashenko and those who want to see him gone. oh. for the. people here chanting for the president to resign in the city of

golmaal but in contrast you've got a convoy of the president's supporters driving past them with the official red and green climb on to the government demonstrators have also gathered in the capital in minsk or activists are lining up along a central up and you meanwhile in eastern valorous. were. i. fear her in parked earlier in the day the process of people chanting their support for president. marches were seen throughout the city to r.t.c. reports from there. it's the closest large city to the russian border and that's that's where we are and 1000 people gathered supporting the government saying that they. do think that the country needs changes but they don't like

the current that the that the protesters have taken to look to some of them and they have been essentially saying that they indeed they do want changes but they want to make them peacefully they want a peaceful transition to something else not a transition old power but in the old policy if i may say so and they have been citing such examples as for instance syria or libya or ukraine and saying that well those countries they have seen some changes and while they don't like what they're seeing there they're sort of looking over the border across the border and they don't like it they don't want to. watch the news and can see events unfold in as they did in syria or libya or iraq and ukraine i've seen how countries have been destroyed with people fleeing and both to europe and even in migrant camps i believe who must not choose this path this is really a color revolution. you know our president has created conditions which allow us to think about our families about the future we can make plans i don't want anything

to change we must we have peace everything is clean and great it is just want to destroy us do we need. the support fool the incumbent president lukashenko has been growing here still i have to say not as large as at least it looks not as large as the opposition protests but this could be a case of the silent majority because again who has won the election a highly controversial case but still. this similar action has taken place in other cities like in capital minsk and all across the country again people in the thousands there have been cases one anti government people sort of tried to crash their rallies it to crash the pro-government rallies and tackled the pro-government protest as. has but again i have been already consecutive days of

protests. and they're not it doesn't look like they are and anytime soon well another issue we are following surrounding the situation and prosecutors have opened a criminal case against the opposition's coordination consul accusing them of plotting a legal seizure of power. so the lead of the book of the creation of such organizations is illegal and their activity violates the constitution having realized 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 his words echoing what president lukashenko said on whedon's thing at a security council meeting he so named coordination council for the transfer of power was a style bush by the opposition leaders to come up sky she's currently in self exile in the human ear denies any wrong doing. the political analyst under of

all check believes the anti government movement in belarus is losing momentum due to the lack of a clear agenda. below shows stand the good speed in the store is fired. some people obviously had little bit enough wealth all of this gone for. by this opposition this uprising as it is being called the are are aiming at something else which they really don't know what it is they are just being told and told by the opposition by european union that they. have to demand change they have to change the system but it can see now the support for this attitude this. kind of disappearing because people are thinking ok now for the 1st time or what is going to happen if we really. have this change or are we going to

end the blake ukrainian are we going to. the former soviet republics which were pushed through this independence or. 'd are we going to basically on out of these the e.u. meanwhile has confirmed it's drawing. shin's against bella russian officials who were suspected of election fraud to violence against protesters but block has not disclosed as yet whether alexander lucas who is on the list in fact brussels lifted penalties on him 4 years ago live few india which shares a border with belarus. 31 other about a russian officials from entering the country. the e.u. has stressed out there should be no foreign meddling in the belarusian crisis moscow points out though about lithuania is doing precisely that with its sanctions . russia's foreign minister has contacted the e.u. foreign policy chief to words brussels again stirring up confrontation between the

government and opposition in belarus that's after the e.u. you know mostly rejected the results of the election that cleared president go persona non grata artie's double quarter no one takes a closer look at the signals coming from the european union. 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 their european union stint in so we don't retreat was a piece of better reese bicycles than most benefits should on its own choose plane dependent path to 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 it's going to be a loose just as if we are deeply concerned about what's going on right now and better roofs we're concerned by the attempt to exploit the internal challenges facing bella ruse to interfere in them from a brutal it goes without saying ballarat president alexander lukashenko is also concerned that when the. western countries are openly without hiding it raising funds and sending them to belarus we cannot track all of the funds as much if it is in cash but we see it we know what's going on and we will focus on this issue. the european union isn't just paying lip service to the bad. the russian 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 are in these challenging times we can't forget the e.u. states neighboring bella reuss which seem to have their own agendas for one the polish prime minister seems to think belarus is close ties with russia make it incapable of democracy and there is a plan to change that. plan should be prepared for the ruse because now it is highly dependent economically on russia poland is already presented to plan for intensive. in the areas of independent media the economy investment and international trains 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 belorussian workers just think what the loss of belarus is skilled workers would do to help democracy. actions will not interfere with the name isn't on the fact is we

can and should extend a helping hand to the russians it's a similar story in lithuania where the opposition leader svetlana to kind of sky is in 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 questions 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 and stamp or to russia everything that we hear in the western media coming out of the events of the day is here. but not america speaks about foreign powers not just look at the east.

so the 2 sides are really pointing fingers at one another in the face of the e.u. they've made the 1st steps it's all labor to fear and then. they will use that there's the russians so far they've been very patient and liberals who are in charge of the e.u. institutions believe that we're all or why one train that in one direction what is the view that's been done a lot of thinking ever since. it was difficult. and mr. barker going to need to. rush in the opposition figurehead telex enough being hospitalized after falling ill during a flight to moscow the plane made an emergency landing in the siberian city of where natalee is now and tenths of care in a coma while still on the plane he was heard howling in pain and part of medics

came to his aid. when artie's from on cost of has more on the situation the international reaction to it. i think seeing the violet felt ill when he was on route to the russian capital from siberia the aircraft counts and decided to make an unscheduled landing and once on the ground level he was probably taken to the hospital where he remains in a coal mine now the. latest report suggests that their preliminary diagnosis is poison by neuroleptic which is more commonly known as anti-psychotic drugs how ever at this moment medics can see the testing they continue symptomatic treatment of they see in the modern day but they have already ruled out several things that meanwhile want to fix

a lot in these personal medics is already there in almost school where she received some information from the doctors 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 have it here against consciousness to morrow and all the as a high profile personality what's been the international reaction so far the western media they were very quick with their headlines and they labeled what happened as the poisoning of a kremlin critic now someone as far as speculating that a russian leadership is somehow responsible and gave their viewers a timeline all for a supposed poisonings of kremlin critics let's just take a look at some of what the western media had to say the most outspoken critic of russian president vladimir putin has been rushed to a siberian hospital doesn't seem to really decide asking is the kremlin involved it's all too early so i ask him not in there is you know the russian city has many

towers falling steve is clearly putting. the government school there saying this would not have been possible without whose approval. is a very very. silencing critics like. and it's always. been a humorous example so. ironically of all that the kremlin has been doing nothing but call parading with nevada and stuff in this case and helping them as much as they can just recently in the file and these other personal medic while he told the western media that she wants his patients to be evacuated to the european union he added that he was even in talks with clinics in france and in germany as well while the kremlin said they're ready to give any kind of green light necessary in order for them wanted to be transported. wherever he needs to be despite the fact that

the borders in russia closed had g.'s to cope with 900 situation they wish to nevada to get well very soon of course and the request to visit a foreign clinic would be approved as soon as possible if there is such a request for the for russian citizens to visit other countries for medical treatment despite of the cruise board as well the valley staff had already welcomed this offer from peskov and will now put in a request to the kremlin to help with the evacuation if it is necessary meanwhile elsewhere in the western media it looks like the cause and the blame all of this had already been attributed and that's despite the fact that everything is being done in russia for nevada need to get better soon as possible devoutness quite a hero in the west and he seemed a very powerful opponent well good so from the western border of your many western countries in eastern europe you never anything it. would be seen as criminal and it

always a coach in the club and. nothing else would happen to him unless he could become an did you know acted and did something is wrong that's the way in the media here in the west where do you think. the media played going to be made because they want sensationalism you want headline news. but it goes. totally false news. and we have to wait on the medical and the medics and find out exactly why he. descended into the coma why he was hospitalized why he was in such paid him so long but it makes a great story from leeds from the west and what have you because most of the western press is only russian. several hospitals in beirut or in ruins after the deadly blast earlier this month an astonishing video was i'm showing the moment this auster struck the nuts for the price.

the world is driven by shaped by one person. thinks. we dare to ask. some ourselves. just sort of all out during this serious doubt that they were covering the big dollar as a. next 10 best balancer lawrence.

lawrence. 19 minutes into the program welcome back lebanon will enter a 2 week lockdown on friday and as it struggles to cope with a surge in covert 1000 cases the health care system in beirut has been pushed to the brink by an explosion earlier this month which destroyed several hospitals new footage has emerged showing the destruction of some of those facilities a warning you may find it upsetting.

a truly astonishing image as well according to the red cross the tragedy killed at least 200 people left more than 6000 injured over a quarter of a 1000000 people also lost their homes it's believed the fire in a warehouse at the port caused the detonation of a huge stockpile of ammonium nitrate a run $15000000000.00 will be needed to repair the damage to the city.

and update on a story we've been closely following this week the french military has vowed to continue its counterterrorist operation in this by the recent overthrow of the government. soldiers arrested the president on choose their forcing him to resign sparking international condemnation up and has more now on france's track record in

the west african nation. 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 somalis former colonizer and french troops have been in mali since 2013 to keep terrorists at bay the results in the country have 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 emanuel mark actually believes that the operations are successful because of home a 1000000 little to do with improve 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 are protesting is that france has been here in our country for 7 years but people die if we had 10 difficulties when france arrived with 190 friends 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 friends came they came to help but they came to destroy us the normal is our leaders do not dare tell them to leave we will tell them we want them out 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 i leased a torrent of terrorism in the region if you want to look at the us it. did one is fair you well all of northern africa and to is the fact that you mention a friend precipitated levens the regime change against president get out and then in 2012 the water rates. were so jiri large shipments of on syria far in dated more than mali and this led to the

collapse of the government to get as well and now it's never recovered from this invasion which was precipitated by people new bombing new stations hours susan rice. to get. 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 point to anything it's that the presence of foreign troops doesn't really help the situation caleb oppen artsy new york. the only power plant in gaza has shut down now after israel stop supplying fuel is in response to cross border fire efforts to destroy farmland by hamas militants gal's says $2000000.00 plus population relies on israel for most of its energy needs they currently get

around 6 hours of electricity a day which could be the power cuts are a major concern for hospitals. i've seen that moment as the 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 is no electricity here treatment times will have to be cut. muscular could be another one of the machines will not work and staff 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 2 free days it will be a disaster and many people will suffer but this is totally wrong it's put in the health of so many people at risk people might not survive. when i get that 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 say about surgical operations and

intensive care are at greatest risk covert 19 testing labs may also 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 of the issue. cutting off electricity to hospitals will have a dangerous effect on all health services provided in the gaza strip and we call on all relevant parties to intervene to solve this problem and save the health sector in gaza by restarting the power plant again local human rights activists say be halting fuel supplies or mines to collective punishment targeting people's basic need. 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. just coming up to half past

you know i can remember when it would flood one time in the fall and then one time in the spring you know a break up and now i mean already 3 times this year they've had you know when people get nervous about the flooding of their houses and needing to stay in school or even getting out of new top because they're worried about that kind of stuff and just these last 2 storms have taken so much away you know he went and measured the last couple storms and they're like knocked off 1020 feet in 11 week and yeah and so there's more journals i have to do during all of the students in iraq and the kids right now journals about their worries about the floods i don't think are as
