4:12 pm
of deja vu about the last couple of weeks certainly lots of your days it feels like a lot surely over again the beginning of march when the numbers of new cases began to double every 2 or 3 days so the real problem the fundamental problem at the moment is how do you risk dovish trust because we finished with drastic measures when we shouldn't have to have drastic measures if we take people on this tough journey from the beginning well what they have to do is to really properly put the local regional authorities the local governments aren't the local public health directors in charge and istead of stirring actually literally billions of us at these private companies to lloyd's and serco and others who are failing to deliver the test in-tray certain people getting results after several days by which time they've infected other people putting all that resource into the local public
4:13 pm
health teams and rebuilding them very quickly. and this is the way protests and better still raging over the disputed election. on sunday after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. here in dramatic development only. exist i don't see how it will be very critical. to see. what it was the americans are saying about. humanitarian items.
4:14 pm
like we have been trying to transfer money for the covert 19. we've been trying to transfer money for influenza vaccine. the united states restrictions prevents us from even transferring money to buy vaccines so it's basically medical. that the u.s. has a. post-election unrest continues to rumble on sunday again so protesters flooding the streets of the capital is they continue to accuse president of stealing victory more than 100 people have been detained reporting from. several 1000 people have gathered in
4:15 pm
the capital. smen scanned this is the 1st mass protest since the inauguration of alexander lukashenko it was branded by the opposition by the coordinates as as a people's inauguration and it was meant to show that the current government is not enjoying the mass support of the by the russian people of the public and so far i have to say that up to 10000 maybe have showed up here to make their voices heard but really i have to say the number from where we are and it's a good vantage point the number of protesters looks small and it looks like fewer people showed up than even last sunday and really the opposition to have their say to show what they wanted to show the opposition needed that number but to a power of 10 now this protest comes to the tune of western powers not recognizing
4:16 pm
the outcome of the elections pulling alexander lukashenko to resign and some nations even outright recognizing. example a question whose main rival at the elections as the real president of here's what emanuel mccrone the french president had to say it is a crisis of power a north or a tear in power that cannot accept the logic of democracy and which is hanging on by force it is clear that has to go now the statement along with many others comes as the foreign ministry of belarus cools and all western nations to stop meddling in the country's affairs and she will lead the better russian people decide who the leader really is no just to remind you alexander lukashenko was inaugurated back on wednesday it was a rather unconventional event i have to say because it wasn't announced it came as a surprise to everybody the opposition included some even called it a secret inauguration with only a few 100 people invited and it was not broadcast live on national t.v.
4:17 pm
so since then the coordination. of the opposition have been trying to consolidate the protest calling on people to show up and must but that failed on wednesday right after the inauguration even though they tried then they asked they cool down the better russian women to gather on saturday that was that's a weekly event but instead of what used to be thousands of better russian women marching throughout the capital till dusk only a few 100 people showed up yesterday for a couple of hours today a lot of people moved people thousands of people showed up but still the numbers. are the numbers of the if there are fewer people in the streets than it was a week ago there was concern flagged earlier this week over some by the russian opposition tactics including the publishing of names and addresses of thousands of police officers more on that next remark because if as with any d.
4:18 pm
add on the operation the goal is sheer terror even and the better russian opposition makes no she quit of what it is doing join us they say or we will ruin your life. the main goals of this channel are to track down every criminal that has committed a crime against his own nation to collect as much information as possible about that individual and also to create a special database which anyone in free bellerose can use to check whether they potential worker partner or anyone they meet has committed a crime against humanity next to pullen based and public ganda outlets recently dumped the names and personal details of belorussian policeman into the public domain police are not without fault suppression of protests arrests and physical violence towards demonstrators unorganised were brutal and the public was outraged but the opposition feeds on that outrage stoking anger with fake news and
4:19 pm
hysterical nonsense armed russian special forces and dragon our fellow citizens by the hair is this normal are you willing to tolerate this nectar apologized for that saying it is impossible to verify every message that they get such as the actual guilt of the policeman whose names and addresses and telephone numbers and even relatives they published next year and other opposition doubt that's all the proving their guilt as was the case with nikita marching co he was falsely accused of being an agent of the state after someone sure photo of him in military uniform it turned out he was a conscious crypt and his service had ended last year but they aren't acting without support from foreign donations to the blessings of st lotty who not scare a former candidate for president during the election in august to this since fled to lithuania she says anyone in uniform who supports her rival current president

you can change is fair game law enforcement officers should remember the people of belarus who revealed the identity of those who carry out criminal orders you will have to look you people in the eyes. the same people you are supposed to protect and she doesn't seem to mind that these vigilantes are often wrong going after innocent people she doesn't seem to mind that not just them but also their families become the victims of cyber bullying and harassment and abuse and even attacks and it doesn't seem to concern her that it isn't just police or law enforcement that are targeted but also rescuers teachers and even journalists.

4:22 pm
them not because of a text or a phone call another journalist had his car torched off the activists posted the picture of the vehicle on telegram with government insignia lose behind the pictures the veiled threats the fear campaign they defy anyone who disagrees with the aim to tens of thousands of better russians don't suffer from sleepless nights doesn't bother that they don't look at the car still the logic behind this is that they are afraid of revealing who they really on thought that is what would hurt them the most of these like 21st century bullets yes information bullets these blacklists and terror cab pains all doing the open. shouldn't any favors lose thousands already in the least only more determined to prevent the vigilantes and bullies from coming to power if they do things like these such horrific things now and laugh about it what will they do when they come to power and ordinary

control's warned that an additional $6000000000.00 might be needed to potentially distribute vaccines next year and also says there's a severe lack of high quality face masks but the pentagon's double down on its move insisting that national defense must come 1st. we are seeing through the congress provided authorities and resources that enable the executive branch to invest in the message production of critical medical resources and protect key defense capabilities from the consequences of curve it we need to always remember that economic and national security a very tightly integrated and our industrial base is really the nexus of the 2 preventative medicine professor william schaffner believes that the spending scandal goes all the way to the top levels of power obviously we would have preferred those monies go to cope with relief i would think that this decision to spend the money not on the cold it defense but. on forces
4:25 pm
was made at a very high level 'd clearly the diversion of these follows from the public health programs of the united states is very misguided i would think that the appropriate congressional committees would do an investigation to find out why this happened and to correct this if a $1000000000.00 was misused we had better look to the rest also to see how those bodies were expended the distribution of the vaccine is going to be our next nature effort here in the united states to stop or to do some control so cold that problem and all of those things will require funding it means that the congress of the united states has to hold the executive print to account they have to be absolutely. very attentive to how these monies allocated for good
