The man to take on trump joe biden is formally converted as the democratic nominee in the race to the white house. The European Union says it standing by the people of balad who said its called violence against antigovernment protesters there shocking and unacceptable they deserve the block held an emergency meeting with the agreed on sanctions against those responsible for the crackdown have rejected the outcome of this months disputed elections that have called for an end to president Alexander Lukashenko ball roll. Today we gave them 3 clear messages. Firstly we stand by the people of belarus who won fundamental freedoms and democracy. Secondly we will sanction all those responsible for violence repression and false if occasion of the results of the election and thirdly we are ready to accompany peaceful democratic transition of power and bellows. And in minsk the embattled president look has ordered the police to stop further demonstrations against his leadership hes asked his intelligence agencies to look for organizers of street protests hes also stepping up security along the borders to prevent what he calls fighters and arms from entering the country steadfastness following those developments from minsk where the mood on the street seems very different. The shrine is still here of the protester was shot by Police Last Week but the crowds are gone theres a completely different mood here now in the capital of bellows instead of euphoria its now fear again russian look at shankar has threatened that he will have a not a crackdown he has instructed to in the interior ministry to quell any unrest possible and instructed also the intelligence to track down anyone who has been organizing these rallies so people are worried for repercussions in the meantime there was an interview with an employee of state television saying that she was not allowed into the building because she was joining a strike but instead she sat of her and other employees there are now russian professional staking her job so in the meantime also there were reports about the russian plane at least one flying in from moscow which is normally used by the hat of moscow the States Secret Service and they have landed here and also departed again so theres a lot of speculation at the moment that moscow is slowly stepping in despite the fact that the spokesman of president putin has denied that. Meanwhile russias foreign minister has weighed in saying there is no need for mediation and is accusing foreign powers of trying to meddle and then bob is live for us in london the damed lets talk 1st about the e. U. What else did european leaders have to say. Well it was a message that came in unison from not only sort of underlying he had just been hearing from but also from the e. U. Council head to show me show he said we stand firmly behind the right of the belorussian people to determine their own fate. Thats a reminder that the rejects the outcome of the election and the e. U. Will impose shortly sanctions on a substantial number of individuals responsible for violence repression and electoral fraud said pulling no punches without giving details of which individuals will be concerned but the e. U. Is stressing that their action is designed to punish individuals within the administration in belarus without harming the general public theyve also said that they will be allocating money to the chewed of 3000000. 00 euros to belarus to bolster an independent media and also to support Civil Society groups this all comes after. Messages from the likes of the dutch Prime Minister mark rooter that the e. U. Has to do more than just say this wasnt a free and Fair Election and now we are seeing this reaction from the top of the European Union saying that action will be taken but at the same time theyre repeating the message that they hope there can be a dialogue initiated or involving russia theyre very keen not to to to to forget the crucial role that russia has always played politically and economically in belarus and theyre saying we hope that russia can be involved there can be outside involvement in terms of pushing the government in belarus and the opposition together to try to get some kind of of way forward and game as we mentioned russias foreign minister is saying theres no need to mediation what other reaction have we had from moscow so far. You know its it is slightly confusing is step one saying that there has been this arrival we believe of a delegation from moscow and these strong statements on wednesday from Sergey Lavrov the foreign minister saying that the outside world should not be meddling repeating the message from via the mir putin in phone calls made with Angela Merkel in germany and. France on tuesday warning against meddling. So the government in moscow very much saying that there is no need for outside involvement at the same time it seems that they have been talking to the entourage if not look at himself and then weve seen whats happened in terms of his message to this the protesters in the strikers so perhaps in fact they are saying were happy with you to get tough right now were really not going to get involved were were going to stand by you all the way which wasnt clear before of course this is speculation we dont exactly know what conversations have been had i think that nadine barber across developments from london thank you. Molly now where military leaders say theyll help the countrys transition to a new government and organized what they call Credible Elections fails when it was made all the president abraham cato was forced to step down the west African Regional bloc eco os has condemned the coup its sending a delegation to the capital bamako the Un Security Council is also expected to meet later but this report. Soldiers guard the residents of malis president. In the capital bamako. Prime minister who say say we detained here and choose day as rumors of a coup spread president case there appeared on state television announcing his resignation. With. No blood to be spilled to keep me in power and thats why i would like to think a 1000000 people for their warmth i am telling you that im resigning from my position as the president and all my other positions and i announced a dissolution of the assembly and the governor. Could block and could once responded forcefully to the coup isolating malise from border closures suspending financial flows and called for sanctions against organizers and their supporters. Speaking on state television coup leaders say they are acting in the countrys best interest money and money and people of mali we are not holding on to power but we are holding on to the stability of the country which will allow us to organize within an agreed reasonable timeframe general elections to equip mali with strong institutions which are able to better manage our everyday lives and restore confidence between the government and the government. Many millions welcomed the coup crowds frustrated with the president and his government spurred the soldiers on some ransacked and burned government offices. We have come out today to call for the total resignation of president cater because we heard there were shots fired by the military and we come up to help our soldiers get rid of the president or if we are tired the country is paralyzed and i do not want this government at all. The soldiers began their mutiny at a base on the outskirts of bamako the same base that sword 2012 uprising would open the way to create his presidency heavily armed troops to siena schools in a vehicle believed to be carrying the president. Were very happy because this is a liberation for the people of mali all of these people waiting for this day all of malis people waiting for the president and his men to allow us to breathe. Cater has faced weeks of opposition protests calling for his departure of the disputed parliamentary elections earlier this year much of the country is already outside the control of the government has struggled to contain an armed insurgency thats claimed thousands of lives. Well so i had to gay is a member of mollys Opposition Coalition known as the m 5 r. F. E. He says currently this will have to honor their promise to hold elections. These points i dont think they have a choice you know we spoke about a movement that started a few months ago and for about 2 months now been out every 2 weeks asking for the president to resign in anything regime and so it would time god there are tens of thousands of people on the streets im not sure what it means to the people who run us on the streets again yesterday in their 1st occasion invited to join them join them whether that means you know we have our own ideas about how things should be run so its too early for us to say whether they will expect that wars are not but i think that will fight just like it was previously gene to make sure that 40 and bad governance would be a thing the peace for we got together because we made it an addition that by government has taken some some very very dangerous steps and as you say a lot about 80 percent of our our land and we only now have 20 Percent Security there where people are not afraid to go in and out so some of the issues that talk about are also issues that well raise so were confident that well be working on some of the issues but the main Sticking Point would be the role of immediately in the if we call it spot for democratic government and with you doing so and discuss with them or what role they would like to play in.
