About if you slip through the sports comparisons a man meets in the European Champions League final well bring you the latest from lisbon. Thank you very much for joining us tens of thousands of demonstrators in bella rose defying warnings to rally against president Alexander Lukashenko is the latest wave of protests against his disputed reelection earlier this month people gathered in Independence Square in the capital mens calling for location because resignation but his older in the military to use. Is what he calls the most strained and measures to end attempts to overthrow his government the e. U. Has rejected the results of the election and has threatened to sanction officials responsible for ballot fraud the Police Crackdown and allegations of torture and abuse in custody russia meanwhile says its impossible to prove. Did not win the august 9th election as foreign minister Sergei Lavrov says bella reuss needs a genuinely Broad National dialogue to resolve the unrest we have alexandra so janowicz called from standing by in moscow with the latest reaction from there but 1st we go to men scan aljazeera is set bosn set we saw earlier big crowds in minsk its Independence Square but the crowd seemed to be moving away now tell us about whats been happening and what the atmosphere is like today. Massive crowds are moving around cements right now are we here at the large monument from what world war 2 there is now tens of thousands of people here they moved from the Independence Square earlier basically because it was simply too small to have these hundreds of thousands of people is the estimate right now theyre moving from here to the president ial palace later and thats where look at shanghai has his office what weve seen today is basically a huge huge should gesture of defiance because there were military on the streets in the center of men still are military trucks the worst bullies but people kept coming in and they kept coming at them in huge numbers and they were telling me that they have no fear they brought their small children families who are here elderly people who are here people from all walks of life and they all had this big no for president saying he has to step down and that his scare tactics that might have worked in the last 26 years are not working anymore right as you say i mean a big military present. Spigot than weve seen in the last week and as you say people dont seem to have been deterred by this large military deployment what does that suggest to you step i mean youve been there for a couple of weeks now what does that suggest you as far as how the situation might evolve and what role the military might play. Well at 1st suggests to me that there really determent people are telling me theyre not leaving the streets until he really steps down so there is a very strong determination and that comes of course after many many many years of restrictions but it also comes from this Police Crackdown that happened just after the election result was presented and people went on to the streets and they were nearly 7000. 00 people detained or people tortured people beaten up in Detention Centers that has led to enormous trauma among the population and that trauma has led to anger and this anger is stronger than fear so even the military coming up showing their their equipment maybe ready to to attack the crowds doesnt deter them any longer and the military has watched it today and i think theyre simply feel outnumbered. Thank you for that stat boston reporting there live from bella who says capital minsk lets cross over now to moscow and speak to alexandra gaunt from was a journalist based in russias capital on exam russias foreign minister has been speaking about the situation in better rules in the last few hours accusing the better racine opposition of not having a plan of not wanting dialogue i mean its been quite obvious all along which side russia is on but the rhetoric and the tone seem to be changing. Yes exactly it is stepping up the game it is stepping on in in more bold lead to help look at shane call saying that see it is not possible to prove that he lost this elections without International Observance and saying that their own people who were observing these elections found them fair and square moreover a lot of supporters of this proposed solution of look at shinnecock constitutional reforms saying it should be of rides a genuinely wide National Dialogue that would belorussian people and also saying that the russian would be fine with whatever local showing qualities with the opposition but this opposition has been called everything but the representatives of the people in his speech Russian Foreign minister said that he was suspicious of crowds Coordination Council was formed saying d that there is people there that are clearly under russian he went further to say to the president ial candidate candidates that one of the. A was ease on that pressure once she went abroad to make again political statements to support these protests saying there are forces within the opposition that want violence that want bloodshed in belarus a so from the speech its clearly that it is not your position a local schenkel should speak with in this wide a drain really wide a National Dialogue. Yeah yeah but alexander i mean moscow clearly is aware of these big crowds in maids who oppose Alexander Lukashenko how far is the kremlin willing to go to prop him up to continue supporting him. Well if these are not to look at franco himself is so important to russia but the but the belarus as a country being the only country left on the whole of western border of russia which is neither a member north nor seeks to be a member of e. U. And nato and that is a long term the russians to tickle goal to have actually these countries bordering it and not be a member of nato as a Colleague Alliance so this is a question of how how far they will go well the belarus president was last week saying that he will get even a military support from russia if there is this for in the meddling and for in tread well on this respect there is to treaties that war called for which actually would indeed the need for in troops invading belarus in order to be activated one being the collective security treaty the other union states that exist so far only on the bape or but russia can. Kind of have its way in supporting local shank or even without this military entering the state of belarus and thats the strange part of the validation population who has nothing against dies with russia they can do it with a soft power they can do it with this type of a political supporter and a with. Contacts with the western leaders warning them of not to meddle not to interfere even and not to mediate and lee heard today from mr lover of thank you very much for that alexandra so janowicz gone from live there in moscow.

Negotiations are underway in mali between members of the west africa block send the mali and cool leaders the delegation is trying to find a way forward after a group of soldiers seize power on tuesday early eko us negotiators met former president.

And members of his cabinet are being held there met with the president and after that when i didnt president and leader of the allegation good luck jonathan told reporters that yes.

Our. President donald trump appears to be laying the groundwork for disputing the Election Results the only way were going to lose this election is if the election is rigged remember the trailing democratic nominee joe biden in the polls trump is hinting he may declare the election invalid the narrative the President Trump is that the legends are going to be rigged. And therefore are in the. Way to. Make tension remember forever for him to say one to some scholars of authoritarian regimes trumps moves are right out of this. Strong mans playbook is trying to say that democracy is corrupt democracy the american isms of they dont work. American isms of democracy and and this is classic. Hold over 20000 lives.

And hes really. A very skilled propagandist in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic trump and senior officials stand accused of trying to hobble mail in voting because by trumps own admission he thinks it would hurt biden. This kind of politics and while youre accusing your opponent of trying to rig the elections you yourself are making the elections public outcry and pushback from congress forced trumps postmaster general to backtrack promising lawmakers that mail in ballots would be prioritized and delivered on time but trump has also suggested delaying the election doing it over if he loses and sending police out in force to polling places what hes aiming to do here is create a sense of uncertainty and suspension so that he wouldnt have to concede defeat based on his words and deeds one thing seems clear trump doesnt want to leave Office Without a fight rob reynolds aljazeera los angeles.

Counting the cost on aljazeera. The. Welcome back youre watching aljazeera live from doha back to remind of our top stories on this news hour another major antigovernment rallies underway in the capital of bella who is the latest in a wave of protests against the disputed reelection of president Alexander Lukashenko. An aljazeera investigation has discovered cyprus sold passports to convicted criminals or those under Police Investigation interior minister denies any citizenship rules were broken. And southern iraq is facing the prospect of more on rest stops after a deadline set by protesters for the resignation of the local governor expired demonstrators have been demanding justice over the killing of prominent to us. More now on our top story and those protests in bella rules when are joined by samuel green who is director of the Russia Institute at Kings College london his via skype from the british capital thank you very much mr greene for being with us on aljazeera so weve seen huge crowds again today in minsk big crowds and also russia speaking this time perhaps changing its rhetoric a bit. It would seem its support for xander look but the kremlin at the same time says dialogue is necessary to resolve this crisis do you think there is any chance at this point that this can be resolved domestically. Well in one way or another its going to have to be resolved domestically and its going to be a decision thats going to have to be made by. Either the question to himself or people around him that they can no longer hold on to to power the position that they have is is untenable and that will either come through a peaceful process in which the carone decide that they cannot or are not willing to escalate things further or unfortunately that could come through some degree of of a further escalation certainly you know other governments including in europe and in russia will try to put some pressure on minsk but you know it has 26 years ago has shown himself to be pretty skilled insulating himself from from external pressure really so this is an internal wanted to mystic affair but again weve heard strong support from moscow today for the rhetoric it seems to be stepping up and you know bellicose has been described as about a last wild caught between the kremlin and the west how far do you see russia willing to go to prop up or do you think its perhaps them having an alternative to the shankly that supports said golds. Look i think moscow believes that its relationship is fundamentally with belarus as a state rather than with look look i think of course has represented that state for for a very long time but if he becomes an impediment to maintaining the kind of of a very close and integrated relationship that russia currently has with belarus they will not hesitate i think to see the back of him you know theyve been through a succession of leaders in various other countries including ukraine not some of whom have been easier or harder to work with her but the focus will be on on maintaining that leverage that they have over whoever is running belarus and given the structural positions that russia has in the better russian economy in energy and in security as well i think the moscow is fairly relaxed about the prospect of somebody else coming to power eventually to replace the question of the question is the manner in which that happens right and because of the way certain some of the political affinities i suppose we could say that putin has with with lucas and co were torak lee they would not want to be seen. Suggesting that the street or protesters or even ordinary citizens in general should have that much impact over of who gets to to run a country right so they will rhetorical and openly i think support location go for as long as is humanly possible but that doesnt mean that behind the scenes they arent putting other sorts of pressure to bear thank you so much for talking to us Samuel Grange director of the Russia Institute at Kings College london thank you for your time and.
