most protect its own existence has existed. in the headlines this hour with an anti-government rallies with tens of thousands on the streets of the capital passed peacefully after 2 weeks of unrest in that country president looking expressed gratitude to the military and riot police for maintaining order. that was simple. in other news mainstream media point the finger at russian authorities after the country's problem of opposition activists alexina valmy fell into a coma russian doctors who initially treated him saying no toxic agent has been detected in his blood. 12 o'clock we received results from 2 lobes. and the other

in moscow they both the substance that could be classified as poison had been flown . under story 2 of dozens of women of west african origin who were camping outside their embassies and consulates in lebanon demanding to be sent back home because their employers in a crisis the country left them literally on the street. i'm pregnant and i'm in the street because i want to go home. like right now i don't have our list only in the streets. hello 1 pm you know so good afternoon from russia live from marty's world view center moscow is kevin owen here for the next half hour because stick around with me to is to take you through all those headlines or more in detail we started there belarus entering a 3rd week of unrest on sunday tens of thousands of anti-government protesters

marched through the capital means they carried red and white flags and chanted slogans against president alexander looking demanding his resignation after those disputed elections. yes. the. was a. was a come on to the guts of still after the order to move in the direction of national flags square the crowd came up close to the barbed wire and on yeah they were a metre away from the right police and the so far there haven't been any provocation but the protesters send the armed forces are very close to one another

but. despite a heavy military presence there were no arrests and this latest of instruction passed off peacefully without incident alexander thanked the offices. the because the legal basis for everybody. who. comes. here. the 4 simple life. we're close up. so as it stands the country remains split at the moment between pro and anti-government supporters ahead of sunday's rally the government advice supporters to stay home to avoid provocations let's go through next the timeline of events with our correspondent he goes down the. people behind me on the independence square of the the russian capital minsk they have been chanting slogans like leave calling on the president of belarus alexander lukashenko to go and long live belarus right now they're clapping and my cameraman is just going to zoom in to

show you the scale of the protest right now we have a really good vantage point over there in the distance you can see police vehicles and well police vehicles and crowds crowd to control machines and they again they are so far standing by they are here they have not intervened well yet we do not know whether or not they will also we do know that the government has called on its supporters to stay home this has been done in order to avoid any potential confrontation and you know brawls between some of the more passionate protesters the protest has spilled from the square and into the streets blocking the traffic and now it's just a sea of people yelling chants like long live balor rose and go go leave coolly go on the incumbent president of this republic alexander lukashenko to leave office because they do not recognize the protesters here they do not recognize the results

of the election we will like to with the election results i did not vote with the opinions of my friends were not taken into account the. and who is to credit president is not the one who has been elected in one fairly actions political prisoners to be released and in the end to violence our country has never seen anything like what is happening now right now you can see that behind me this towering structure and the museum behind it are being guarded by the security forces they are not letting people come close but they aren't trying to the road between the security forces and the protesters has become sort of an improvised border very very large telegram channels with lots of followers are being used to coordinate these protests because the it's not like people it's not it hasn't been spontaneous it has been organized it has been coordinated through internet for instance. the reason why protesters aren't trying to storm the structure is because this channel has called on people not to do that and not to approach the museum

that's behind those behind the structure on the on the small hill so soon they will be moving to another and we believe that the final location of today's protest and so far because so far judging by what i have seen of these people these protesters they have been following every direction given by the coordinators. their cell xander arriving by helicopter at the presidential palace in the capital surrounded by protesters he will show wearing a flak jacket in carrying a kalashnikov rifle a video called a swirl of false reports of maybe fleeing the capital well the 1st fake as reports. it is difficult for human beings to be neutral just the way it is biology our psychology makes us want to pick a side the to root for someone even if it isn't our fight so it isn't better or

worse a huge divide neighbor against neighbor brother against brother journalist against journalist there are a slew of t.v. personalities of great national networks and improve this against the president against the elections against the other side i have decided that my broadcast today on bill reese one was the last one nobody influenced this decision i took it myself there are not man no vice but we exist. vera correct me cover hoost of good morning belarus sergei because lo which presenter to tiana brought kidda hanka and vladimir bercow who snuck in and try to claim the credit. until recently i presented the asking a military program better response i'm no longer a presenter of this t.v. project i resigned myself and it wasn't easy the people want justice the people don't want lazy people want freedom and you may have come away with

a sense that he resigned over the elections like like others who sacrificed their livelihoods their income as an act of protest vladimir didn't know no that's just him trying to claim the credit. it is absolutely unclear from the message when the prison to have the program in my opinion this was done on purpose the t.v. company said goodbye to the dimmer a month ago and i followed as a showman successful we got in on the act bottom feeders are nothing new they swamp everything in times of hardship of desperation you'll find them on television trying to wiggle their way into the spotlight when things are tough to play and profit in people's misery you'll find them on live and blogs in social media shouting the loudest pointing and screaming lying and misleading we live

in an era of fakes of think heroes fake opinions and think news she walked around spread men's legs and purposefully sadistically struck at the group she would heated their testicles and called them scum one man who looked about 50 she beat in the group and while standing on his legs he later told me his hips were all blue kareena about 30 is blonde and not that 2 she was dressed in uniform and had a mask on her face remember what i said about 10. king sides you likely aren't from belarus yet hearing this story one can't help but feel revolted and many belorussians were upon hearing this the the witch hunt began soon they found this alleged corrina all christina and people went after her threatening to kill her to murder her family a reward was posted for her address they got the wrong woman. i have been

forced to record this because of harrison and threats and insults towards me and my family as a result of false information on the internet please help me share this so that lies don't spread further and done tar me and my family christina is a gym instructor at the interior ministry not a guard at the jail where the alleged torture happened oh they apologized afterwards after terrified and traumatizing and threatening to kill her and her family they said sorry they said sorry and then posted another picture of another christina who might have been the woman from the story and went after her and let's not forget about the bear that's coming for better or worse for a while now internet users have been sharing videos of military convoys allegedly russian that are moving towards belarus there are 2 plausible explanations why they still haven't arrived russian military trucks are just really slow like incredibly

slow like walking speed you could walk for moscow to better us in about a week the other explanation is that there aren't any russian armies moving towards belarus. they recorded these videos without realizing that they were below russian armored personnel carriers not russian and they were moving towards the west and border because we decided that we needed to take additional measures to protect the sovereignty and independence we could go on and on sakes about preparing to flee the country thinks about the opposition leaders i.q. been very low thanks stupidity reinforced with hysteria and decorated with. our senior correspondent meantime eve foreign policy chief joseph borrow her compare the situation right now to venezuela. we do not recognize him as the legitimate president nor do we recognize

nicolas maduro from this point of view maduro and lucas shank are in exactly the same situation we do not recognize that they have been legitimately chosen however whether we like it or not they control the government and we have to continue dealing with them despite not recognizing their democratic which is missing this one a cynical to hear from you know people you know because we know what the position of the european union it is. a regime. that has hong kong. also in the past in ukraine. lately in serbia so all listen to all this have to listen to just a bit of soul if the whole bag of salt on the stone. below is one of maybe 2 last europe which is not.

from the west from nato for the us all from the you be in the union of the country is functioning of much better than most of. which it would fall into the european union of all of the west. next the softer no doc to say mainstream media claims that a top russian opposition figure was poisoned a false medical staff at the central russia hospital which treated him out there were no traces of a toxic agent in alexina varney's blood. yes actually it would have been easier for us to choose a treatment strategy for we had known for a fact that we were dealing with poisoning but it took a while and by 12 o'clock would receive results from 2 labs one in tomsk and the other in moscow they both said that no substance that could be classified as poison had been found it was important for us to remove the poisoning theory so we could do a better job treating mr novell name. novell me who's still in

a coma has been receiving treatment in berlin and since saturday now the german medics have yet to make any comment on a possible diagnosis artie's peter all of a joins us outside the medical facility where the activist is being treated well x. in the valley arrived here in berlin on saturday after taking ill all my flights on thursday going from siberia to moscow where the plane had to make an emergency landing in almost we just heard from the medical team there all we know so far about this conversation is that he's in a serious but stable condition at the moment in an induced coma. medical professionals are conducting have been conducting tests and continuing to treat him now his press secretary and other supporters have claimed that he was poisoned we just heard from the medical team saying that they didn't understand that to be the case what we have heard as well from medics in is that there's only so much information that they're allowed to give about alexina family this is the more

concerning. medical information they're allowed to give out about anybody that they're treating. a lot of famous journalists and even doctors were commenting on the situation without having any information they were asking why we're not disclosing details about the diagnosis treatments and test results all these people must know that russian law doesn't allow us to do that so we were restricted by the federal law on confidential information. while there are plenty of theories as to what happened to alexina family some even suggesting it could be down to diet we are hoping to hear more solid information from doctors here to take hospital in berlin we're expecting a press conference from them later on monday the lack of solid evidence though hasn't stopped some in the media from pointing the finger of blame directly at the kremlin and claiming that russian authorities were behind us poisoning so. there's a lot of chewing. you don't need a security clearance to know that the kremlin has

a track record of poisoning its critics in the valley is here in germany is a guest of chancellor angela merkel he was transported from the airport to the hospital in central and german military ambulances when i spoke to police on sunday just outside of the hospital they confirm that there is a larger presence here and that they have as they put it's enough personnel on the scene to secure the area of the hospital and which alexei navalny is being treats its i'll be keeping an eye on everything here in berlin throughout the day and bring you any updates here on our take. serious state news agency so now is reporting that a gas pipeline explosion sparked a blackout across the country of the night sanaa also releasing this footage you see there said to taken place from 40 kilometers to the northeast of the capital damascus the oil minister says ustad could be maybe a terror attack how is no grudge being restored throughout the day it's going to 17

what illegal threats have have you received arguably illegal for importing one and a half 1000000 barrels of gasoline from iran and other supplies during coronavirus we already use the threats and the sanctions and maximum pressure from the usa because they won't allow a country a people to have their own democracy their own modern their own system and specially with too much oil and too much and natural resources which they need in the united states and their capitalist system so iran is also sanctioned because they want to have their own independent model and we have helped iran before we have a very close relationship we have sorely there with each other and then we actually bought gasoline for venezuela because we have not been able to produce gasoline in the last months because. of the sanctions because we cannot import the spare parts

for our refineries because we cannot import all the chemicals that you need in order to produce the gasoline from coming from the heavy oil that we have in venezuela so we are importing from iran gasoline and also some spare parts for the refineries in order to activate them foully and the united states threaten the around that they would block by some way tankers that are already arriving to venezuela so we took some special measures it's a legal operation it's a commercial operation nothing international law can stop it from happening so in any case the venezuelan armed forced scored to the the uranian tankers from the moment that they were close in international waters to our territory to our waters and they are already arriving in the center of the country in the refinery of by lead and.
