thanks for checking. this out 1st for you there's been another turn out of hundreds on the streets of minsk this wednesday for a protest against the russian president the situation. was sworn in for a 6. it

was a heavy police presence and earlier in the day in some clashes in the capital several demonstrators were injured dozens were arrested rest has been simmering for almost 7 weeks now since the disputed election with people calling on the president to resign other have also been counter rallies in support of the president rival groups passed each other on the streets his opponents carried white flags government the official red green flag our senior correspondent has the f.p. following the rest and the police response for the day. very tense now police have just fired water cannon behind us they're still firing what the cabin there's a line of police been now trying to remove the demonstrators from a central square here it means hundreds of people 2 perhaps a few 1000 gathered just behind me and literally a few minutes ago police began pacing in and then we saw

a number of people detained at the season unsanctioned rally the government had ruled that this isn't an unsanctioned rally they had cooled on the demonstrators to disperse but passions are high here there's there's there's a lot of anger among the protesters many of them refused to leave and now they're being chased by police again they just fired would take out an ad to protest this earlier today of course what sparked it all was the surprise to gratian of the better russian president alexander lukashenko there was no waited for a seat for presidential cup they came as a complete surprise there was a new warning this new hint that it would happen people only learned that he had been a new great as he was giving this speech as he as he was giving a speech thanking his supporters saying that the the revolution in ukraine colored revolution in ukraine had failed in the better russians by electing him as their president again that protected their freedoms. they're independent said peace.

dear fellow by the russians on this solemn day the president's state and the people with special feeling the world with a lot of pride for the russians who have passed with the honor of their beliefs. is the day of our victory convincing is significant and we didn't just elect the president of the country we defended our values our peace our sovereignty nash and now our independence and we still have a lot to do. there's been a very strong reaction both here in belarus many of the protesters wearing crowns people crowds to. integration of president many people very unhappy that this has happened they had called for and wanted fresh elections including the opposition which formed the council of council to oversee a new elections and to make sure that present who is the post many of their members ended up leaving bellerose for europe the european union which has taken

a much more proactive stance with regards to what is happening in belarus we heard senior officials in the in the european union say that they aren't meddling or interfering what they're doing can't be construed as foreign interference into the domestic affairs of better us rather that they're doing the right thing by supporting the opposition supporting the protesters obviously the government has different ideas calling this calling this meddling but we've also seen condemnation today especially several european countries are a host of them coming out and saying that they won't recognize the integration of president lukashenko that it was a farce and that he's no longer legitimate president. there was new free democratic presidential election valorise there is no democratic legitimacy for the ceremony that took place any. such a farce forged elections forced integration the former president bill or was does

not become less forma quite the contrary his illegitimacy is a fact with all the consequences that this entails. inaugurated today he has no legitimacy to lead his country he's responsible for presidential elections in belarus free of slovakia stands with citizens. in fact look i shan't just retired that means his orders to state power structures are no longer legitimate and cannot be executive i said client housecat and the only leader elected by the belarusian people and our task now is to build new belarus together. a little earlier several 100 perhaps a few 1000 demonstrators gathered in the square behind me within 10 minutes they were they were blogging away they were running away they were being charged by police with baddies the police had warned them that they should disperse this this

was an unsanctioned protest but many of the demonstrators didn't move they chanted for president to leave the police began deploying war to get into trucks spraying water at protesters and now most of them have fled there's the square barneys empty for all but police and earlier this week the european union fell to agree on sanctions against a list of 40 below russian officials accused of election fraud and violence against protesters journalists in eastern europe especially as martin summers believes the western pressure will continue though and could push closer to russia. so missions are only dishing could probably be agreed at some point the but it won't change his position the more of probably do is push him more towards. the russian federation because of course in many ways he was trying to steer a course between the needs of the russian federation and the demands of the west and curse and of course the local poland baltic states ukraine very hostile to

lukashenko in butler us you could say you've gotten a holdover from the from the soviet era were lots of the soviet well 1st states has essentially been preserved and that is the reason wally he says he's won the election this election and the previous 5 elections and of that of i will see him in that position i wouldn't be prepared to stand down just because a minority thinks that he got to go and of course that minorities being heavily funded and supported from the west as part of a general attack on the russian federation which we saw in ukraine we seen all sorts of the provocations going on. russia and germany are continuing to trade accusations and demand answers over how alexina valmy fell ill the opposition activists now being discharged from hospital in berlin after his alleged poisoning germany's refusal to hand over evidence to russia has sparked an angry exchange between the 2. in this league. is not the responsibility of the german authorities

to conduct an investigation the crime was committed in russia and that's why i urge him to deal to russian side used to comment on the matter. with germany refusing to share samples or in the family's treatment details or later russian investigator talked to him there is no way the russian prosecutors can complete a preliminary procedures clearly berlin is in no hurry to share all this information although they're demanding that russia take a media action to get the impression the germans are still in free time in finding various pretext to avoid sharing their data with russia we believe this is all being done to sit for the idea being spread in the media that russia does not want to clarify in the balinese illness any such claims are lice meanwhile the doctors who have been treating the valley of the charity hospital in berlin say his condition is rapidly improving peter all of us have the details. well while the diplomatic spat between moscow in berlin seems to continue to rumble on alexei

novelli has improved dramatically while his condition has anyway he's been posting on social media a picture of himself in what seems to be a burden park and which he says in the post that he will continue to work with physio therapist so it follows on from a statement earlier on wednesday in which the shot at a hospital which had been treating the valley said that he was now well enough to be discharged from the care the patient seat of house has improved to such an extent that acute medical treatment can be ended lexan in any was treated at charity for a total of 32 days 24 days away she was in an intensive care unit physicians considered fool recovery possible based in treatment and the current condition and the long term consequences of the severe poisoning can only be assessed later well it comes as the ministry of justice here in berlin of confirmed that they've received a 2nd official request from the russian senior prosecutors for information relating

to tests carried out on alexei novelli those tests that berlin says show that he was poisoned with a nerve agent from the novacek group well we've also heard from the foreign ministry here in berlin as well that say that they've still to receive any further information from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and did share the information from the valley tests with them waiting for their findings the foreign ministry in mesko though is far from happy with what it sees as burlington's refusal to share information and preference to let this play out in the media system society to demand we're seeing how the west has launched a massive dissent from asian campaign surrounding the alexander family situation there is no evidence of russian involvement in what happened there can be no such evidence once again the u.s. and its earpiece allies are consciously ask awaiting tensions with russia preferring systematic confrontation to meaningful constructive cop aeration were.

when it comes to what's next for alexei novelli well a german government spokesman was asked just that on the web and state he said that he had no further information on the whereabouts of alexina valley or what his plans were a political analyst rana roth 1st believes that some of the west are giving the divel the case as a pretext to deal the north to gas supply project. look into what really is a military nerve agent which is highly highly poisonous and dangerous. if it had been applied not only what have died within several minutes after being in contact with that substance so it's not really likely that novacek really was in the play but not in charge of course plays a great role in the narratives in the media narrative for me it's more important to look at the geopolitical backgrounds of the anglo-saxon and the us american powers

are in panic about the fact that the north stream to pipeline is about being finished quite soon so they need to give some pretext to the public to oppose the finishing of this major pipeline project because it would bring germany and russia closer together it was it would strengthen both countries' economical each year politically and therefore there are great great political geo strategic economic interests to stop this pipeline project. russian president's call for a joint global effort to develop vaccines against covert 90 and its video speech to the un general assembly that he may put in single russian sputnik jav the 1st of its kind to be registered and even offer free doses to u.n. workers. but already to assure and continued to cooperate with all countries and international. this includes the distribution of

world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there. hello again the french health ministers announced a range of new containment measures against the coronavirus including the complete shutdown of bars and restaurants in 2 areas the country seeing case number spiral since the nationwide lockdown ended our paris correspondent charlotta bensky has the latest the red zones is the red zones where we've had active transmission of 900 forests and they've now been split into subcategories depending on how high the transmission rate is in that area we'll come to that in a moment and discuss what that means for specific departments in france but 1st of all let's have a listen to what the french health minister had to say because he had this very solemn morning the overall situation continues to deteriorate we will suppose 100

cases per 100000 inhabitants within the next few days health care system is under enormous strain if we fail to take measures quickly we could reach a critical threshold in some regions. so no department yet is in a state of emergency but there are 2 departments that are in the next category down which is that. category these areas include must say and guadalupe now that means in those areas there will be new restrictions that come into force from saturday of this week that will mean the full closure of bars restaurants cafes except in those areas that will take place public spaces where they can't demonstrate the really strictest of hygiene measures will also be closed down as well and we know that this is something that's going to take place initially for 2 weeks though of course that could be extended at the end of the 2 weeks if we come

to the category just below that this is where enhanced measures are taking place this is cities such as paris the capital city. to lose in many other places across the country what's happening there is we will see now from monday a ban of gatherings of more than 10 individuals. we know that bars and cafes will be closed from 10 pm in the evening we know that demonstrations are large group gatherings that were allowed to be up to 5000 people now be reduced down to 1000 people students have been told their parties have been canceled for the forseeable future and we know that extra stricter measures can be put in place by the local authorities in those cities if they should wish to do so this all comes after weeks of what we have seen of increasing rates of covert 19 and we had the latest stats on wednesday that showed that more than 13000 people in the last 24 hours again

tested positive for covert 900 that is the 3rd time in the last week that that number has been breached a daily record for france so new code restrictions coming into force. on saturday in some areas and a monday from those and they will be restrictions that i'm sure that won't please everyone. but leader of a religious sect in siberia has been arrested on charges of abusing his followers the self-proclaimed messiah had operated a remote commune for a quarter of a century on a quarter of a story. surrogate tora bora as his followers know him best sorry and a former traffic cop claiming to be the 2nd coming of jesus christ the same man accused of allowing psychological and physical violence against his followers child and human rights abuses since 1901 he's led a fanatical cults called the church of the last testament in siberia's cross new york but a recent police raid against him and his followers landed him in handcuffs according

why is the u.s. embassy leaving its sewage in this river when it all comes to us we cannot sleep at night because of the smell of the book atlas and always collapse we have a big problem with the river and the united states embassy and the dumb there is sewage in the river every afternoon. since the wastewater treatment plant is not functioning and it's canals are damaged the sewage from the dumping site goes directly into the kabul river. we want companies that can easily build treatment plants and we want them to build

the plants and deal with the waste properly. and that's how it looks from moscow the south thanks for watching and export update from the team and all th q. is in just over half an hour from now to see it. time after time called parisian to repeat the same mantra sustainability very important. transitions to sustainable prize board sustainability stay number man a more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless. us. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something else this must be going down even on.
