Theres been a chorus of condemnation from across europe capitals to the events that have unfolded in minsk and in barrow belarus at a wider level in the last few days in the last week or so and in this capital city in berlin the government pressing for strong measures to be taken part of a raft of ideas that are coming from europe right now the polish government a view from the being that the european endowment for democracy should be enacted to help the situation in ghettos and then at a paneuropean level from brussels the president of the European Council calling a special summit Video Conference of heads of state heads of government for wednesday to discuss what more can be done given the fact that the European Unions clout as it were is political and economic not military so the European Union looking to try to ratchet up the pressure it can put in yellow rose to help the situation there remembering that one head of state the french president emmanuel makkal has said that the views of the protesters in the other us must be respected if you view things from that prism it explains how the European Union reaction is unfolding at the summit to be held on wednesday to discuss what more can be done or president lukashenko once said that a woman could know whats believed to have been erased now those comments a come back to haunt him with a female candidate staging the biggest threat to his presidency we can talk more now about the role women are playing in the protest movement with melinda herring who is the Deputy Director of the Atlantic Council eurasia sense of bikes for being with us on the program what you think has prompted so many women in better rows to actually come out and take to the streets and demonstrate against president bush. I have clothes that is great to be here with you i think women are sick and tired of lucas if you study the social movements in the movements of the protests in it in minsk in belarus over the last 26 years its a lot of cycles and the thing thats different this time is women women have taken a spotlight role in organizing the protests and also as running is candidates theyre sick and tired of losing it one of the interesting things is how well theyre doing if you analyze the protests and you look at their tactics women are succeeding as organizers in the evenings you see a lot of men on the streets and theyre not as good at organizing people and negotiating so i think thats one of the most interesting things and compelling things about the protests in this cycle the protesters themselves though have they been inspired i mean to what extent have they been inspired by the fact that the Opposition Movement is being led by fact of the 3 women. Thats right thats right. You cannot stay a is an illness her whole crew in her Immediate Group of people around here are all women and thats pretty remarkable bellews is a society that is very parochial things that women cannot be president as you noted at the top of the show this is a very conservative society but it was interesting though is to cannot scale the opposition candidate is not in order to minister if you look at her rhetoric she says she wants to be with her husband she wants to be with her children she wants to make dinner she she shes not. Running british feminist or american feminist by any stretch the imagination she does you know want to be president the women are fed up with this something really interesting happen in the last 10 years more and more women in belarus have got abroad theyve got no western education they started business is there more confidence and theyre stepping out and theyre saying i know it was enough weve had 26 years of this guy its time for a change what women previously not that interested in politics that they feel they didnt have a voice there was no point in speaking up no its more these attitudes that women cant get ahead so yes women are interested in politics in every society but theres a very strong sense that politics is a mans game in bellerose and look at she has a very strong attitude that way and hes made that clear repeatedly its obviously not working for him at the moment but how do you see his future playing out. Honestly no one knows it doesnt look good for him i do because he has a very we cant 200000 people came out of the streets yesterday the factory workers are out what really matters the thing that i would watch more than anything is the Security Services if the security circus is the Security Services break with him hes toast so thats the piece that i would be watching but the thing that the look at she couldnt understand that really interesting thing about this is he underestimated women he and he basically bar all the male candidates all the normal male opposition candidates for running against him in the elections and he said oh so want to add to the north could never be president shes a woman belorussians will not vote for a woman and he was completely wrong bill russians dont care they want competence they want someone new they want him out that much is clear one alarming thing that has come out from Amnesty International is reports that women themselves the opposition leaders themselves the women protesters have been targeted specifically because they all women talk about things like Sexual Violence the threat of Sexual Violence the threat of having their children taken away thats right and the reason we think that ceylon it took you know scale left is because her children were threatened right before the election she sent her 2 children to vilnius lithuania which is a neighboring country they were in safety but after she contested the elections she came in to file an election complaint and she was she was threatened we dont know what was said there her husband isnt custody and these are typical tactics theyre theyre discussing theyre terrible tactics but these are the kind of tactics that luka it is those years over and over again if youre a woman and you have children youre vulnerable and theyre going to squeeze you really good to get your thoughts a little herring joining us there from washington d. C. Thanks so much thank you. Or a still has so on aljazeera this news hour tension on the streets of khartoum a year to the day after sudans landmark power sharing deal was signed. The trumpet ministration greenlights a plan to allow toil and gas drilling in what is being called americas last great wilderness. And is for some good news the parsonage a man i had at that Champions League said before i know i will be here at the top story. The Democratic National Convention Begins in a few hours time where joe biden will be formally named as the partys candidate for u. S. President but the current are a standout that means the event is being held virtually without the usual rosmer. Senator Bernie Sanders and Michelle Obama will headline the 1st night of speeches an official reports now on how the former Vice President finally managed to clinch the nomination. Like the poor couvade just as the primary process got under way if you would have banked on joe biden winning the democratic president ial nomination the idea he would be in a position to unveil a Vice President ial pick as he did last week would almost have been laughable he lost heavily in iowa he had little better in the next 2 contests but was saved by a win in South Carolina a diverse electorate just days ago pressing the pundits in the clear this candidacy yes that was a key moment when the Democratic Party saw him rather than Bernie Sanders as the man to beat donald trump when im sure his convey was that theres no way that youre going to be able to get most of america to support. And as we saw that happen in the primaries the people that support freddie and war in jest they do not show up at the polls before super tuesday when several states hold nominating contests key rivals dropped out people to judge him a clip a short step to citing gave their support he won several states enough to make victory look inevitable and so closest rivals Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders dropped out to joe biden had all but secured the president ial nomination i think joe biden won with experience also because they coalesced around joe biden because they realize donald trump didnt want to face Joe Biden Joe biden has already spent 8 years in the white house as Barack Obamas Vice President hes been around politics for almost half a century but hes never had to Campaign Like this is a pandemic changes the face of president ial politics. There are no big rallies no crisscrossing the country to speak with supporters its no virtually all virtual got only Democratic Senate small gatherings the sea help joe biden to excel and the crisis has allowed him to highlight the president s actions something one expert believes helps the challenger he doesnt have to travel to. And travel to 4 and 5 cities and in one day hes able to kind of you know lay back in rest as a 77 year old man so i think it does help so in addition you know all the mistakes and joe that our President Trump is you making you know that of course the you know close 2165000 lives i think and counting i think that you know that helps joe biden 3 decades after his 1st president ial bid joe biden has arrived where he wants to be hes finally convinced his party hes the man for the job no he has 11 weeks to convince the country alan fischer aljazeera washington and mike hanna is live for us in washington d. C. Right now so mike so a couple of hours until that Convention Gets Underway in the meantime bring us up to date with what President Trump is up to. Well president trans holding a series of Campaign Meetings in the course of the day hes flown out to minnesota where he spoke at the airport there to a crowd of a few 100 and now hes on his way to wisconsin where hell also be addressing supporters at that airport in wisconsin so hes out there campaigning while the convention here is about to get underway as you heard from the convention is a virtual wonder to will be a mixture of taped messages as well as a live internet messages from various personnel various high profile people but president once again just attempting to keep the spotlight on himself holding these Campaign Rallies as the democrats together do not together pull their convention here mike hes been dismissing claims hasnt he that hes sabotaging the Postal Service what is it about this issue that is so important to the election. Well its absolutely critical in this time of pandemic there voters have the option of either mailing in their ballots or dropping them off at some point the idea of standing in long queues to cast a vote in this time of pandemic is very disconcerting to many voters so the bulk of them are expected to vote by mail or to drop off filled in forms at collection stations in a staggered way so you do not get any huge amounts of crowd at any particular point so obviously the post office in this is absolutely crucial the Postal Service is the way in which people many will get their votes to be counted and this is the whole issue that has surrounded the president denigration in recent weeks of the service the fact that hes a has got somebody in there whos a close. Friend of President Trump who he continues to defend despite the fact that louise joy has been heavily criticized by many for the cost cutting exercises as he puts it that hes carried out in the u. S. Postal service so this is a major issue but President Trumps done something of a somersault up until the weekend he was basically saying no i do not want any funding for the post office because that will allow them to conduct mail in voting which i do not agree with he said that bluntly now in the course of the day you suddenly changed tune in saying hes instructed everybody in this administration to speed up the Postal Service hes defended the joy as a very good businessman who will help you get better the Postal Service but that is very much a somersault by President Trump and its no doubt in response to the wave of criticism bipartisan criticism in many cases that has followed in the wake of actions done to the Postal Service since the jury took over back in may all right mike in washington thank you.

We can speak now to adam colton hes the executive director of alaska Wilderness Lake an organization fighting to protect the states landscape and wildlife and he joins us live now via skype from washington thanks for being with us on the program and the trumpet ministration says the drilling can be done environmentally safely the pump the interior says it conducted an environmentally impact study which concluded that drilling activity would not pose a threat to the native poll of that population why do you disagree with. Well its the clear though are talking about the Arctic National wildlife refuge is home to one of the the longest land migrations left on the planet 200000 plus there are who travel hundreds of miles to give birth there each and every year its most important get a habitat for polar bears United States homes where. Millions of marks for birds that nest in station feed their or flying to or through 5 continents so this is often called americas serengeti and the vast majority of americas arctic coastline is already unfortunately valuable for oil and Gas Exploration well this is in the one area that had been set aside for more than half a century as a wildlife refuge now its being proposed by the trump ministration is to turn this area into a dust up whats full of of pipelines roads does show facilities landing strips for planes theres just simply no way you can have back time to Scale Development of the heart while this place left in america so will can you count pain is do you now to stop this going ahead.

Are seeing enormous missteps with the Environmental Review process by lucians of us environmental laws like the species act National Guard the policy act so thats and will want 2nd trying to send a strong message to any companies that are looking to drill miss landscape that they ought to say well you know there are there are more than 2 dozen International Financial institutions that have already said theyre not willing to provide financing for any drilling in the american are so this is something thats getting a lot of pressure from investors were going to turn up the heat on any Oil Company Looking to he sells their oh what do you mean interesting to happen actually being a had a great deal of interest but that doesnt appear to have actually been a great deal of interest they fall in companies wanting to drill in that area is that your understanding. Well we dont know for sure but obviously oil prices theres a lot of well on the market given the code crisis its. Us production as more and more companies are scaling back on their production plants it seems just from an economic standpoint it seems like a crazy time to be making new areas like this pristine wilderness areas open for development when there are vast areas that are available right now that our companies are scaling back on we wont know but yes there are certainly strong messages from investors banks that they ought to stay out of syria theyre setting Reputational Risk if companies are financial risk is a very expensive area to do business sense and theres Political Risk because Vice President biden has made it clear that he strongly opposes growing in this area you had a few dozen women and is elected president there could be a big change in u.
