realize that no national merit and no one has stopped pursuing a goal to force luka shanker to resign it helps to keep our spirits up and not to get sad i didn't know it was the show the beginning we were really enthusiastic now people are starting to say the protests a calming down the people a pessimistic we have to remember that the regime had ruled for 26 years it's impossible to overturn in just 10 days. the opposition is still encouraging people to attend mass demonstrations and urging the authorities not to use force and the u.n. is calling for all political prisoners to be released bellary soon authorities say nearly all have been freed. for good for many a hoping lukas shimko is losing his grip on power but the hard line leader insists it was solve the political crisis in the coming days. is a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world today u.s. postmaster general louis to joy has appeared before congress amid widespread concerns over postal delays mail in voting is likely to be a key feature of the november election jew to the coronavirus and to. dem

well the main demand of the protesters still is for lukas shanku to leave and of course what he's been saying isn't very credible considering the fact that yesterday alone in the during the day he said that there would only be new elections over his dead body and then later on he said thing about about there only being new elections after constitutional reforms it's not really clear what exactly that would mean but it does seem that the opposition is prepared for dialogue one of. those close allies maria told d.w. that the opposition would even be open to dialogue with luka shango if necessary and meanwhile has gotten together kind of a board of people to coordinate the transfer of power so it looks like the opposition is preparing for some sort of talks and even look at shank a may have some kind of a role and not and meantime on the international level is claiming that russia says that it will support. the u.s. and the e.u. officials there saying that russia should stay out of it so tell us a little bit more about that tension. well the west wants russia to stay out of it and russia

moscow has been actually unusually quiet in recent days and that may have to do with the fact that luka shango and bell russian state t.v. have been blaming moscow for the protests the foreign ministry then recently condemned that but it does seem and i mean the 2 the 2 leaders and russia and belarus will continue to be allies their close partners and there have been rumors on the streets of belarus that perhaps in the coming days or fears as well that perhaps in the coming days moscow could kind of get involved to prop up luka shango emily sherman in moscow thank you very much. now look at some of the other stories making news this hour in japan emperor naruhito has marked the 75th anniversary of the end of world war 2 expressing deep remorse for the country's role in the conflict he's the grandson of emperor hirohito who led japan in its fight against the allied forces. prime minister narendra modi has marked indian independence day at a military parade which was severely curtailed because of the coronavirus pandemic in a speech to the nation do you laid out ambitious goals including

no one here believes that and they've been protesting against luka shank ever since. and here to express may disapproval at the rigging of the elections and to be in solidarity with everyone he was detained i am for peace i am propellor s. but. the protesters have been peaceful from the outset and after initially violently attempting to suppress earlier demonstrations the security forces have taken a step back in the past couple of weeks some protesters are being detained more than 125 according to the government and many journalists of have their accreditation revoked there was on sunday that witnesses described as the largest deployment so far of security forces who blocked off access to some main street. one of the country's largest mobile phone operators said it had reduced mobile internet capacity of the government's request. and tanks roll down a road close to luka shank his residence in minsk as protesters headed there. but there seems to be no indication the momentum has gone out of these demonstrations and luka schenker looks no more likely to loosen his grip

like many slovenian kids, luka grew up in the countryside and the sava was a huge part of his childhoodt my whole life in the same house about 50 metres away from the river, so when i wake up, if i had my window open, i can already hear it. here in slovenia, the river isn't just used for watersports — it's an important source of hydropower, and luka thinks the river also has an important role to play in uniting the communities who live throughout its course. we were formerly part of yugoslavia, so we are sort of still connected. while our languages may not be that similar, they still have the same origin, so we are still sort of one nation and it's sort of nice to have the sava river connect us all. the river isn't always this placid. it can rise a metre higher in the autumn and winter and turn a lot more aggressive. frankly, the relative calm of these rapids is more than enough for me to deal with. argh! oh, my god! 0k... not sure if bellyaking is the sport for me. further down the valley, two tributaries merge and the sava starts its journey proper. and at the fork in the rivers lies

and the opposition doesn't want violence but rather dial it could even prepare it for dialogue with luka shankara if he is smart and if you doesn't want to end like all the autocrats or dictators before him he will agree to dial it with the opposition and maybe even lead it maybe we could see a roundtable with. representatives from different groups of society and even though all of us said yesterday that and you election would lead to the downfall of the country nevertheless and you election is becoming more and more likely but that very much depends on how many people protest in cities across but there was in the coming days if you have easier to shadow reporting from moscow on the situation in belarus and the international fallout thank you very. let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world somali security forces say that they have ended a siege in the capital mogadishu at least 15 people were killed when militants detonated a car bomb outside of a popular beach hotel and gunmen stormed the building taking several hostages is in this group al-shabaab has c
