Hello again im peter w. Watching al jazeera live from Global Headquarters here and also coming up thousands of homes uninhabitable dozens of schools destroyed one week on from the beirut blast cleanup efforts reveal the extent of the damage. Growing concern over russias corona virus vaccine germany says the product must be safely tested before being released for general use. And reports of a social media post considered offensive to islam sparked violent protests in southern india. Begin this bulletin of aljazeera will accuse with the latest fallout from sundays disputed president ial election in belarus state media is reporting that several protest organizers have been arrested on weapons day in minsk that brings the total number of opposition supporters detained. More than 4 thumbs the country could now face sanctions because of suspected vote rigging and violent crackdown on demonstrators e. U. Foreign ministers are expected to meet on friday to discuss what to do next correspondence to boston joins us live this half hour from midst so couple of hours ago it was 2 or 3000 now its 4000 the number of detainees is climbing. Exactly so its hard to imagine how full these Detention Centers must be at the moment what were hearing is that the cells where normally 4 people are being detained and now tons of people inside also witnesses have told us there are meetings inside these Detention Centers there are relatives here crying out they are calling the police shame on you and also like really emotional scenes here because they have no idea where their relatives are they also are shouting their names hoping that someone will lower will reply we spoke to a 17 year old boy who was detained by joe he was just sitting on a bench with a friend and then the police came started beating him he had really serious bruises on his back he was taken the sort of the time and sent a force to be on his lease for 7 hours and he was only released because he was under age. Any reaction yet from mr lucas as to the possibility of e. U. Sanctions being imposed. No so far no news how he is going to respond to that of course has been on the e. U. Sanctions before and 2016 they were lifted but this is now a much different situation i mean a mass protest this size and also a Police Crackdown this size has never happened before in bellary people are kind of skeptical about the European Response so far they think europe is acting late and also weak theres of course this very delicate geopolitical balance here between europe on the one side and russia on the other but theyre really hoping that if europe is going to do something the e. U. That these sanctions are very significant otherwise they say. Not listen step many thanks. Turning our attention to lebanon where talks are underway to try to form a new government its hoped a Prime Minister and cabinet will be named by the end of the month after the government stepped over the explosion last week cleanup efforts are continuing with tens of thousands of homes damaged and more than a dozen schools destroyed on tuesday a vigil was held one of the more than 200 lives lost in the blast so in a holder now from beirut. A moment of silence for the dead the wounded and the missing Church Bells Rang alongside the muslim call to prayer for a few moments at least this deeply divided and broken nation came together. Lebanon remembered a moment that changed the lives of so many people its been a week since the explosion of beirut port destroyed lives and homes just meters from the blast site people gathered to demand justice and accountability so all those in power knew about the explosives at the ports and they risk the lives of the people the should be an International Investigation because we dont trust the lebanese investigations lebanese authorities including the president knew there was a large stockpile of Ammonium Nitrate at the port. But the 10 firefighters who died in the blast were not aware of the risks when they were sent to put out a fire of unknown origin were up against a competence where our up against corruption were up against all that system that got us where we are today and its the whole system that is wrong its the whole system that is flawed we want bury our dead before we bury their corruption before we bury them the blast deep in then already dire economic crisis which pushed half of lebanons 5000000 people into poverty aid. Agencies are distributing food and medicine filling the void left by a government that has long failed to provide basic services the state is close to bankruptcy this is all that it got from the doctor and the hospital no one suffered. Thats why. I lost my job 1st and i lost my home and i lost my god from schools private hospitals were owed billions of dollars by successive governments which left the Public Sector ill equipped and underfunded i just want to say to the International Community if you want if you can help these situations that really. Were substituting. For the country and the governments role towards its people it will be very interesting step the government has now resigned though it will remain as a caretaker ministration until a new cabinet is formed these people want what they call an independent salvation government but there are others who still support the sectarian system that they believe protects that they want a National Unity government that will bring back the same political elite. That is what people fighting for a new country fear they have the will but not the tools to bring change. French president. Is leading an International Initiative to solve the crisis he says lebanon needs fundamental change and a new political order he didnt elaborate. Beirut well the total cost of the destruction could be as high as 5000000000. 00 Bernard Smith has been to a damage school in a district near the fort where he spoke to the principal. This is. The other school. And as you see found toys and this was during the day there were children here were left at around 430 in the afternoon. This is the yes the courtyard of this. Dont usually play this. Was done recently its finished like a year ago i feel like i am transported in a parallel dimension not whats happening. As if we are in a night. Not just to have a vision or a plank here for what is coming next its the building or the stones its all the people who live here all the students will depend on. So. Every day we remember somebody is someone its very hard.

Mr spann saying that the problem with rushing a vaccine out which hasnt been shown openly to be safe and to be effective against the corona virus is something which he feels he fears could kill off the efficacy of vaccines generally Going Forward the point theyre making therefore is that they need to be able to see the data upon which the russian government has based its assertions that this vaccine is good to go as it were contrast what the German Government is saying with what certain other governments are saying a suggestion that the governor of a large state in brazil. He is going to be in meetings on wednesday with the ambassador the Russian Ambassador in brazil about what might be able to be done there but even in brazil there are Certain Senior officials who have expressed grave reservations as i say about the haste with which the russian government is proceeding to marketing this vaccine as something that large chunks of society will be able to use anytime soon as i say the most important thing here is the germans are being very cautious they themselves have their own research into vaccines they put a lot of money in into wards but they are saying what needs to be done here is proper Peer Research and open research where other scientists are able to analyze what the germans have done what anything to victim has done says its found a vaccine so that it can be verified and falsified and because they say they havent been able to do that that explains that the caution with which they are viewing whats going on in moscow.

Welcome back youre watching aljazeera live from doha your top stories so far today more than 4000 opposition supporters have now been detained in belarus after sundays disputed president ial election the e. U. Foreign ministers are to hold an emergency meeting on friday to consider possible sanctions. 70000 houses have been left uninhabitable than lebanons capital beirut after last weeks explosion tens of thousands of businesses have been damaged or destroyed adding to the countrys economic crisis. And the German Health minister says russias corona virus vaccine has not been sufficiently tested and could be dangerous on tuesday russia became the 1st country to give regulates re approval to a vaccine against over 20. At least 127 people have been killed in south sudan in fighting between Government Troops and civilians the army was carrying out an operation to disarm civilians in war up state when the violence broke out Officials Say it started when armed youths in the greater tone geria attacked Security Forces an investigation is now underway. In sudan almost curfew has been imposed in the eastern city of port sudan after 3 days of violence but of course sources say at least 25 people have been killed. Between members of rival scream proves the state of emergency was imposed last year for entering the 2 so its a bit more concerned with more details. First of all lets look at how this has been unfolding this is not the 1st time we see a tribal clashes between the benny amr and the nuba tribes its been going on for years now and has escalated over the past 12 months for the last year weve seen fighting resulting in the deaths of dozens and injuries of hundreds weve seen a state of emergency imposed their will that was eventually lifted but it kind of gives you an idea of the wider context of not just the eastern part of them but really the whole country tribal identities and ethnic identities do play a role in how things unfold on the ground now in port sudan between 2 individuals from opposing tribes from the benyamin and the move the tribes that eventually pulled in members of the same tribe so weve seen the government responding by sending more troops yesterday the Prime Minister is due to brief the security and Defense Committee tomorrow to try to figure out a solution on theyve called for calm the newly appointed civilian governor has imposed. A curfew in the eastern city so they are trying to mitigate the tribal clashes between the 2 sides but this needs to be addressed at the root the root causes of this conflict needs to be addressed now those 2 sides as i said have been clashing for several years now which has escalated over the past few months no solution no deep rooted solution has been found yet and for many they think that its an idea an issue of who actually deserves to be in port sudan who deserves to be identified as part of the east and who is actually somebody who is overstepping on a territory that is not theirs so a lot of issues right now at stake mostly the issue of ethnic identity and tribal identity and who belongs and who doesnt and it looks like every government does not step in which is something that activists have been called for then this violence will continue. In zimbabwe a prominent journalist and government critic is back in court to ask for bail. Was arrested alongside an opposition politician last month and charged with incitement ahead of antigovernment protests lets go straight to our correspondent who is in the capital harare there for us this whats the latest on the bail hearing for this journalist arrested last month. The lawyers representing felines jennas hope wasnt going to say he was arrested for inciting public violence and for organizing antigovernment protests which were meant to happen on the 31st of july they are arguing that the 31st of july has come and gone there were no protests so why is he still being denied bail they argue that he is no longer a threat if he was one to begin with and then the state law is a thing that they cant given bail because they are afraid that hes going to try and leave the country though is are we going to the journalists also say they feel of a client is being badly treated they think that he was moved to a maximum security prison without their knowing their theory im able to bring him whenever they wanted to they say that its the middle of winter hes not been given a blanket hes not been given the as well when while this case was happening there another case the same court that was happening as well with even prodemocracy campaign as a race of last year they had gone to a workshop in the mall deeds a workshop was to train activists an angel workers in how to hold the government to account when they came back to the country arrested for plotting to overthrow president went and got was government so they could get was actually also happening at the same time as a freelance journalist was in these campaign is a thing we feel theres a lot of tension in the country and they say abuses in the race are on the increase and theyre concerned about that has there been any reaction to these african delegation investigating human rights abuses. Well off to calls from the United Nations from the African Union and human Rights Groups about an increase in obesity in zimbabwe president sort of i foresaw from play africa send a special envoy here on monday and mind you they made president. But they did not meet the opposition but position say theyre surprised by this they were under the impression that after meeting when and where they would be in come and meet them but that meeting was cancelled and they have no idea why so they are saying that these envoys were not fastened to the africa do not get an accurate picture on the ground on whats happening in zimbabwe they also saying that perhaps not africa may not have a vested interest in trying to maintain stability in the country the government is saying that the invite only came to see the prison there was no other plan to meet anyone else so all these things are playing up in the if you will wondering which way the country is going to go next in terms of the government itself here in zimbabwe the president has there that he feels there is no crisis in the country he says doc forces are working with opposition groups and within and find the economy ok many thanks. 3 people have died in the indian city of bangalore in violence sparked by an allegedly offensive social media post about the prophet mohammed dozens were injured when protesters clashed with the police who fired on the ground the Facebook Post was made by a relative of a local politician the sparano has more from new delhi.

Everyone is trying to the edge of what this government calls for for long in the future well the fact that weve had essentially a government thats not had to rely on minority votes for that massive victory is something that is a little bit of a concern because theyve proved 1st of the president ial election in november 29000. 00 and now at the parliamentary elections that they can pretty much go it alone and go it alone essentially to give them a 2 thirds majority a controlling stake in parliament so how that impacts on the way the mechanism of government takes place in terms of the actual cabinet thats been named there are 8 relatively few minority representatives of very much their supporters being included so as to how inclusive its going to be or they feel this is it it had to be something that well have to wait and see.
