Is trying to send as a message as it can to be a risk to the government of better or worse to listen to what it has been saying and also to listen to what the e. U. Believes is the voice of the belorussian people that is that they want to transition away from the government of president. To a peaceful democratic government but the problem here is that theres only so much that the European Union can do beyond sanctions its hard to see really what it could what could be done since it doesnt have a military role of its own and of course this is not taking place in a vacuum we know that the government is very angry indeed at the prospect of sanctions maybe being introduced in a targeted way against individuals close to his to the look of the government having appealed to moscow to president putin for some form of assistance and we know that president putin has indicated that he is ready to authorize the. Dispatch of Police Forces of perhaps other forces to to be should there be a russian government believe it is necessary and remember also that president bush has already said that he believes that nato is building up its troops on the borders thats the western borders of belarus in the balkan states and poland something that nato is ruled out completely so clearly you have the sense here the language coming from the European Union not just from your support al but also from the german chancellor Angela Merkel in the course of the past few hours very strong Angela Merkel told a News Conference a little.

U. Had to say weve heard whats happening on the ground in bella ruiz but russia appears to be involved was flat to me a person been saying about this. Well russian president Vladimir Putin yesterday clearly back up that. Was saying that if there is a threat there there is joint reserve forces so low in force and already made and they will interfere in a very straight now there is a little difference between what the schenker is trying to. Grow as a message and what the thing was saying yesterday what didnt want to go out to some sort of extremists elements inside about us saying if they start burning cars and banks and trying to take all were by force then there will be these. Losing control that will be redlined that cannot be crossed only in that case and he will deploy the task force that has been the form and from all the shankill we are hearing about threats from the western borders from poland lithuania he also said that there were there is no russian soldier at this moment in belarus but there will be if that this threat. Becomes becomes real for him its real and this is what hes trying to kind of get that as a message for weeks that are shes threatened from outside and there are people who are testing that are sort of manipulated or manipulated from the west and out of the manipulation of the situation in belarus this is what he also her russian president while saying that there is this 3rd parties that are trying to direct to steer the situation in belarus in the direction they wanted to be so wondered at what the schenkel had statements today feeling emboldened by clear support coming from kremlin ok alexandra stay out of it good for life for us in moscow thank you very much indeed. Your leader. Also spoke about the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean where there is a standoff with in turkey and e. U. Member state greece germanys foreign minister said that constructive dialogue is the way forwards but even leaders also said that restrictive measures against turkey will be discussed at a summit in september turkey has to abstain from unilateral actions this is a basic element to allow the dialogue to advance but we want to find path towards a healthier relationship in the mutual interest both the union and turkey for this reason we must walk a fine line which in preserving a true space for dialogue and at the same time showing collectivist trances in the defense of common interests well lets get more now from sin and cos your whos life as an istanbul cinema or hearing press conference they hear is very keen zaw dialogue with turkey but theyre also growing increasingly frustrated at what theyre calling turkeys behavior whats the response been an anchor. Well hala so far of course since this is a very 1st statement from a top diplomat we have no reactions coming from the turkish capital ankara yet but i must say that our chorale has been repeating itself because they believe that it is the situation it is the same situation for decades between turkey and greece when it comes to the border dispute for instance yesterday Turkish Defense minister who sarkar spoke live on a t. V. Show and he said that turkey is open to dialogue and they want everything to be transparently discussed thats why they have no fear about discussing the issues but to come to a solution which also turkey wants to come at. The problems all of the problems must be addressed and so this is what the Turkish Defense minister said this fight all those flexing the muscles in the warders military. Exercises or maritime trainings with live fire these seem to be diplomacy of the waters between the 2 countries. They want to come to come around the table for instance a couple of weeks ago turkish president said that there must be a solution in the Eastern Mediterranean where all parties can benefit from so basically turkey says lets negotiate lets have a win win there go sation but we have problems with greece in the agency based on the status of the islands there are thousands of islands in the agency which basically caused the main dispute between the 2 countries when it comes to territory when it comes to the exclusive Economic Zones but 1st those problems must be early so this is what tricky says but according to greece for instance the territorial water issue territorial water is not an issue it has been all of the declared to the u. N. And 2 countries have already agreed on that for us is a couple of days ago greece signed a deal with greece encreasing its territorial waters from 6 to 12 miles india on in sea and they. They said that we will do that in the agency as well which in back in 1995 turkey sat that if it is done its going to be a custom spell which means a cause of war between the 2 countries because the eden sea is a narrow area and there as i said there are many islands and some of them are very close to the turkish mainland like the island may is it is just too close metres of turkish mainland but 580 kilometers to greece mainland and according to greece all these islands generate they are all in exclusive Economic Zones this is what turkey is against because circus says greece is that mainland country like turkey it is not an archipelago country but it which consists of so many islands but apparently the most important thing for the turkish side is the 3rd Party Involvement because according to un look convention which tries to solve the territorial water issue these are by later issues but turkey is against france is involved in this issue along with the u. A. E. Which has no interest and is a mediterranean or agency but all is dependent on the latest developments in libya everything actually stream is steered up when turkey signed the deal maritime zone deal with libya this is why france is also against the turkish involvement in the in the area including the Eastern Mediterranean but especially for the ships that turkish turkish system vessels operating these are disputed waters because this is where great greece claims to be its own and where turkey claims to be its own but for now there is no solution but of course we will be hearing from the turkish officials as well probably no one would like to come to a military aggression between the 2 countries simcoe see over there bring is the view from turkey thank you very much indeed. Now germanys foreign minister says there will be diplomatic consequences for russia if it is proven that opposition danger alexina vile me it was poisoned as part of a state in this she ate it murder attempts nirvana is still in a coma after a suspected poisoning but the Bergen Hospital where hes being treated says that his condition is improving now he fell ill on a flight or traveling in russia last week the family spokeswoman said that poison was puts in his team. Lets turn to other news now and japans Prime Minister shinzo has resigned stude to poor health the 65 year old has long been suffering from all sorts of collides about disease well abbay is the countrys longest serving leader Priyanka Gupta has more on his time as Prime Minister. A chronic illness that cut short his 1st term in office 30 years ago has come back to force shinzo of a japans longest serving Prime Minister to step down the central going out america i would like to sincerely apologize to the people of japan for leaving my post with one year left in my term of office and amid the coronavirus woes while various policies are still in the process of being implemented. The foremost of the century should so rb has told me to japans politics he comes from an influential political dynasty his grandfather was Prime Minister and his father foreign minister. The conservative politician rose through the ranks of Us Liberal Democratic Party and became japans youngest Prime Minister since world war 2 in 2006 but thats didnt ended the full year due to help. 5 years later he returned if his 1st term was mauled by a political inexperience the 2nd had a renewed focus on agenda. Up in the midst of what became known as abby dont mix was a series of a vicious reforms aimed at boosting japan struggling economy his vision of a well here stronger japan came with a Lifelong Mission to amend the countrys pacifist constitution which bars it from hostile acts except in selfdefense many japanese opposes constitutional changes but he did manage to repeatedly win elections as a result of the stability that he brought the fact that hes won 6 National Elections and basically been unopposed and really has shown no sign of losing his power really up until now it is a year that japan has been well governed has been predictably and consistently govern for that period and he has managed to translate that into a much more visible role for japan in asia and globally our base trend in security entry ties with the us making japan one of its closest allies and despite total disputes he warmed up to regional superpower china and japan swar time legacy led to renewed friction with south korea causing their worst diplomatic and create dispute put decades. The 2011 earthquake tsunami and Fukushima Nuclear disaster was a further test of his leadership another came in 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic scuttled his plans to showcase japan on the world stage by hosting the tokyo summer olympics the worlds 3rd largest economy already on the slide since 20 teen slumped to a record low abbies resignation has set off a succession battle in the ranks of the governing liberal Democratic Party and their concerns about what the future holds for a country long used to stability Priyanka Gupta aljazeera. Well whoever succeeds will have a lot on their plates the number of covert 900 factions is on the rise and the economy is taking a hit in the coming days the ribbon liberal Democratic Party will have to pick a new leader though and there are a few contenders among them is former foreign minister for me ok hes widely seen as our base preferred successor is also the current defense minister taro kono known to have close ties with washington as well as former defense minister should get to it shiva a critic of r. P. The only woman in contention for the Prime Ministers post is sake an order shes held several cabinets and party polls and finally 71 year old tara are so who is the deputy Prime Minister and the finance minister. Well Tomohiko Taniguchi is a special advisor to the cabinet options a y b he joins us now on skype from tokyo good to have you with us mr taniguchi as weve been lining this is an enormously challenging time for all Countries Worldwide so this must have been an enormously difficult decision for sins to make it must have been a difficult decision you know him well just tell us more about what he must have been weighing up to decide to stent standalone at this time. He described what he thought about in detail when he made a press conference earlier today and he repeatedly said to the members of the press that it was a very difficult decision and i couldnt agree more on that because there are a number of issues and mentioned. That wait. He is handling and he is a student handling. And he he specified some of those issues. Unfinished so i think very much with regret he had to step down. What sort of legacy do you think he leaves behind. There are a number of things that i would like to mention from economic standpoint one point until very recently until 19 visited this nation 982100 jobs seeking College Students 98 percent of job seeking College Students and opportunities to get hired at and that was unprecedented Child Poverty ratio has gone up has has been improved and then more women entered the workforce than ever before those are the things that have been accomplished. On the International Front japans identity politics quote unquote has been such. A neighbor old japan to bring itself closer not apart but closer to maritime democratic nations the range of course from the United States to australia india and then to u. K. And and so on so forth not just ducked countries such as these are india and turkey have also been very much close to japan from india from australia ive been hearing a lot of voices expressing empathy to their so thats indicative that japans done quite a lot with these nations indeed and yet he was facing a rather challenging time in recent months his Approval Ratings have gone down quite a bit. Around 30 percent do you think many japanese while miss him do you think theyll miss his transformative agenda. He has been in office for a long time and that itself ironically has been rather unusual for many in japan. That said objectively speaking the number of deaths caused by corbett 19 still remains 1200 in the neighborhood 1200 dots among the smallest numbers ever recorded by big nations such as japan so people could have been kinder yet to. My own hope is that down the road history will be a little bit kinder to shinzo of as accomplishments on corporate 19 but it wasnt just 19 mr taniguchi is certainly he was elected with the startling majority but he seemed to be more in favor of changing japans constitution away from the pacifist military constitutional rule that it has played and didnt seem to be taking the country with him do you think when a new leader comes in they will continue on the roads the sheens who are they had wanted to take the country to own or do you worry that the country will move in a different direction. I hope that the Foundation Laid by she. Is going to continue to be intact the foundation is that japan is going to prosper and to be a guardian of world peace and stability all only with like minded countries so japan has opened itself towards that direction and i think thats going to remain unchanged constitution must be changed in my view because the Massive Force that japan possesses technically speaking is unconstitutional 6070 percent of constitutional scholars are still of the view that japans forces are unconstitutional and that point was stressed again and again by sheens over there and i think that will be picked up by his successors down the road and thats something we will wait to see mr tell me on the good she a special advisor to shinzo have his cabinet thank you so much for joining us from tokyo youre welcome thank you plenty more still ahead on the news hour including. The mollies i said president is now a free man west African Leaders hold a new round of talks over the countrys future. And the n. H. L. Playoffs have been put on ice all the details coming up in sports. His President Donald Trump has formally accepted the republican partys nomination for a 2nd term he says novembers election will be a choice between saving the American Dream or allowing a socialist agenda to destroy its white house correspondents can be the whole kit says more. Never in modern history has a sitting President Campaign from the white house a political symbol that supposed to be for all americans i profoundly accept this nomination for president of the United States. To buy but donald trump has again broken with precedent as he accepted the republican partys nomination and attacked his democratic rival joe biden this is the most important election in the history of our country. Christ spoke for more than an hour painting at apocalyptic picture of a biden presidency he told voters his opponent was campaigning as a democrat but would assure in an ideology much further left than any other liberal candidate your vote will decide whether we protect law abiding americans or whether we give free rein to violent and arcas and agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens trump touted what he saw as some of his administration successes in Foreign Policy i could not sit by. As career politicians let other countries take advantage of us on trade borders Foreign Policy and National Defense of domestic policy even as trump a scored low marks from American Voters for his Pandemic Response with more than 180000 americans dead trump argued biden will not make things better instead of following the science joe biden wants to inflict a painful shutdown on the entire country his shutdown would inflict unthinkable and lasting harm on our nations childrens families and citizens of all backgrounds. As he spoke with more than a 1000 guests most of them not wearing a mask sat shoulder to shoulder ignoring the white houses own social distancing guidelines earlier in the day democratic Vice President ial nominee Camila Harris hit back charging trying didnt do enough in the early days of the pandemic to protect americans all we needed was a competent president one who was willing to listen willing to lead take responsibility have a plan do their job paris also accused trump of stoking racial divisions absent from trumps speech was any mention of jacob blake the man shot in the back last weekend of wisconsin by a white Police Officer even though the incident has caused nights of protests and the shutdown of the countrys biggest sports leagues and in true trump fashion his speech and the convention ended literally with a bang. But in an attempt to drown out the festivities protesters marched through the streets around the white house demanding justice and vowing to do all they could to prevent trumps reelection but donald trump is undeterred by the push back in an effort to build momentum following his acceptance speech immediately hitting the campaign trail of friday hell travel to the u. S. State of New Hampshire to hold his 1st political rally since the Republican National convention kimberly health at aljazeera the white house. Well just fisher is live for us now in washington d. C. Alan you think covering both conventions they have no wraps up so it would seem the president ial campaigns well and truly underway no. And i think theyre starting guns being fired because you see that donald trump is heading to New Hampshire a state with only a couple of Electoral College boards but in a tight election one of those votes and New Hampshire votes on a proportional basis could become very important as for joe biden well he says hes not going to start really campaigning until after labor day which is just a week or so away he said that he was called rallies in the important swing states like wisconsin and pennsylvania and michigan but all in lee if it is see to do so so he is continuing to hammer the message that whatever he does will be saved and gay did by this science what is interesting is that during his speech donald trump stood on the stage on the south lawn not far from where im standing now and said that his response has been guided by the science while looking at the sea of faces none of them must and of course the advice the signs at the moment is if youre within 6 feet of someone here in the United States you should be wearing a mask that is gave them this coming from donald trump all administration and alan in terms of how the parties are doing after those conventions their head in the campaign trail straight away you know trying to draw breath has there been any indication of his fared better from the 2 conventions. Well i think theres a general acceptance that dont trump speech wasnt a great speech normally he is much more fired up particularly when hes in front of an audience particularly when hes in front of an audience of supporters he seems to inject real amount of energy there he really feeds off the crowd that was absent last night and of course the Fact Checkers have been out to see that there was at least 20 misleading statements made by donald trump just a couple of them he said he moved at the embassy to jerusalem for under half a 1000000. 00 the actual cost according to official documents is 21000000. 00 he talked about how he died 9000000 jobs in the last 3 months but didnt mention the fact that 20000000 jobs have been lost in the previous 2 because of corporate and it just add one other he says and he has said repeatedly that you passed veterans choice here in the United States he didnt that was a law that was passed into law by barack obama the democrats didnt get a huge bonus from their convention but many people are suggesting that speak cause they were quite far ahead anyway so week to see if donald trump gets a bonus from his what is interesting is that television figures that weve still got to find out how many people tuned in to see donald trump on thursday night but all the indications are for the 1st 3 nights of the Republican National convention those viewing figures particularly on broadcast television where most people would view it those figures are we not just a little dont we dont and that could be a problem for the republicans generating enthusiasm in their base because the speech last night many people i think would accept that it wasnt a speech that was reaching out to floating voters one other thing to mention donald trump mentioned joe biden 41 times in his speech on thursday night contrast that to exactly one week ago when i was in delaware for joe biden speech of course joe biden mentioned donald trump exactly 0 times ok well well keep an eye on that those figures as the Campaign Progress is a lot secure over in the days to come but for now i thank you very much allan fisher. Its time for a check on the weather and i hears everton thanks so much this week of course weve seen flooding in pakistan and afghanistan im afraid eastern parts of pakistan will see some showers over the next couple days maybe the northeast of afghanistan as well hopefully not.

On aljazeera the deadline its drawing near ivory coast his rival parties to nominate their president ial candidates. Octobers election is likely to be a major test for the countrys security who will face the people in a run for the highest office i ricos president ial candidates on aljazeera. The order. This is aljazeera reminds all the headlines this hour the European Union will impose sanctions on senior officials in bella ruse over a violent crackdown on protesters president Alexander Lukashenko has been under pressure to step down since is reelection this month. But about the russian leader has threatened to retaliate against sanctions by blocking transit routes through the country its also ward off the army to be combat ready. To face any threats from the west. And japans Prime Minister shinzo abby has resigned in st ill health 65 year olds as long suffered an intestinal illness as japans longest serving leader. Lets return to see those sanctions that are set to be imposed on belorussian leaders by the e. U. Joined now by alessia written in stockholm shes a Research Fellow at the center for new ideas immense based think tank its good to have you with us on the news hour weve had the sanctions that have been announced by the e. U. Retaliates but what will that look like bella rusinow position retaliates against the European Union. Right so both of them some opposition is constantly calling for a dialogue both from the beginner piano you know sides to help facilitate the dialogue as well and. Internally well. Because of the opposition leaders are really interested in communicating with. On how to. Conduct the transfer of power but of course it denies the possibility of a dialogue when someone who is not in his view is legitimate opposition and as we saw from some european leaders the. Opposition are hollow coordination is very strongly supported and. Signed for a few days ago called on the dialogue although its not clearly mentioned. A position in form of this condemnation. Coordination constance should be leading the dialogue well just how much support does would have from Vladimir Putin because look. The the west being the interfering party in the west being the the bad guys here virginie or putin this taking a slightly different and more nuanced approach does that give lancer puts the nights when it comes actually sending in these troops i mean its a really prepared to enter into another foreign country to support a man that its not entirely sure how much he actually supports. I strongly believe that the putting is not in the interests of all its important falling of regime off because he is rather interested in building a new and. Modern relations with that leader of the country. But supported by the population so hes not interested in supporting the but he might have some reservations because their relations were looking good have been for at least 26 years so it will force. The question to some kind of friendship or were carted off when it wasnt reported inside so hes probably on the side of it but i think that fact that has been observed in just parts of the observer and the Election Campaign and not just the troops that might come even. In order to the most 3 of the 3 some supporting the gotcha but in fact leave marks that russia is not going to be in because they all explicitly mentioned or no one from russias side is going to be in the country until the visit prove that there are some foreign troops in country which were you a lot see such poor clearly and where does this leave the the belarusian opposition in all of this whats left for them. Of course they are trying to avoid hard all know facilitate in the dialogue theyre not only using all the legal meat measures exist in the country such as for exams of support examples encouraging the voters to meet with the deputies of the parliament and then demand some actions they also im going file the friends of ports in complaints so we are using the legal sphere as much as they ringback can but also the aim to work and reach out to the people who are actually in charge or have direct contact with us so as that so as it looks actually decide thats at the dialogue is the only part for healing in the future of course they are afraid for their lives just just simply for their lives because they are being called to the Investigation Committee and the criminal case have been started in the us against people who its not against who all but the against the deal the coop so i believe that they are both great and inspired by the progress and i trying to do as much as they can care less arrhythmic great to get your thoughts thank you so much for joining us live from stockholm. Thousands of protesters are expected to turn out on friday for a socalled march on washington d. C. Protests against the polices treatment of black people well people have already begun speaking in front of the lincoln monuments as follows days of often violent brollies in the city of commotion and Wisconsin Police shots on a black man jacob blake for the un rights chief is also weighed in saying that she too highlights the needs to eliminate racism in policing in the United States john hendren has this reports. Kenosha is still hunkered down boarded up and reeling from days of flaming buildings and anger in the streets. Hundreds of police in riot gear patrolling military vehicles as protesters defy nightly curfews but there are signs of progress many buildings remain shuttered but residents here are beautifying what they can often with a message i am just a small bit of trying to help and make our city just a little bit less of a. Boarded up war zone its just and it feels good makes me feel good. Since hundreds of police and federal troops descended on recent days thursday arrived with little overnight Damage Police apparently controlling the streets fully for the 1st time since the protests began. That pause in violence follows a bloody tuesday as an armed militia member fired on protesters killing 2 and wounding one then walking past police without incident. On wednesday police did charge 17 year old kyle britton house shown earlier that day explaining why he came armed with murder. Is there somebody hurt running into harms way. Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson called for charges to be filed against. The officers involved in blake shooting. The movie move quickly. Through most of the justice work for the people people tend to view the protests through a political lens and what you see depends on where you stand and for couple of hairs the black and indian democratic Vice President ial candidate what happened here reveals a nation with a lot of work to do on criminal justice she lists a litany of names of africanamericans who died at the hands of Police People are rightfully angry and exhausted and after the murders of brianna and george and and so many others its no wonder people are taking to the streets and i support them but for President Donald Trump who declined to say jacob blakes name the protests show the need for more police power we called up the National Guard we sent it out and they did a jobless that we had. Virtually no incident. With hundreds of police filling the streets the nights micro quieter. But the Movement Marches on john hendren aljazeera can no ship wisconsin. Lebanon is rejecting an attempt by israel to reform the Un Peacekeeping mission in the protects their common border the Un Security Council is voting on friday to bring you the agreements israel and the u. S. Want to push through some changes but critics say they are only designed to pressure the Lebanese Armed Group Hezbollah senator reports. Un troops have been in southern lebanon since 1978 1st to confirm an israeli withdrawal and then to keep the peace between enemies 14 years ago they were given an Additional Task following a month long war to keep the area south of the litani river to the Israeli Border free of arms and fighters other than those of the lebanese state. That was supposed to. Be and the limitation actually on the ability of the unifil forces with the support of the Lebanese Army to be a giant and effective from that time up till now things became really rather relaxed so id send you where i was the Prime Minister during the war between israel and the Lebanese Armed Group Hezbollah in july 2006 he tried to push for a greater u. N. Role to help the state impose its authority across the country Un Resolution 1701 brought about this is station of hostilities but fail to give unifil powers to enforce authority despite increasing its troop numbers i look what to do unifil has to completely coordinate with the Lebanese Army and to operate within the mandate of the Security Council resolution this is our understanding of 1701 his will last wont accept any changes from the. Back by the United States israel is now pushing for unifil to be tougher in the way it deals with hezbollah it wants the force to be able to search private properties and suspicious sites without prior permission especially those d. Events happen crossing the line like the opening of the tunnels which really doesnt have an access yet to or the firing of missiles all around it close to the blue line right now unifil is restricted. And some say it wants to go even further israel wants also to make sure that. That extension backs passion of the military role of unifil what extent to the Syrian Lebanese border is to make sure that there would no longer be a smuggling of arms to has been a Un Resolution 1701 calls on the lebanese government to secure its borders and entry points to prevent the entry of illegal arms but the resolution lacks an enforcement mechanism. Them and the Security Council is the vide also political power is in the hands of hezbollah and its allies they have rejected any changes to unifil as mandate and its numbers as well as the deployment of International Troops along the border with Syria International pressure has been mounting on hezbollah a group seen as an arm of iran but many believe pressure alone is unlikely to force a change senator bayh vote.
