Ukraine border so activists who were with her say men in plain clothes tried to drive her from by the roofs into ukraine but she ripped up her passports at the border lets get an update with the d. Baba is joining us from london so details now emerging what more are we finding out. Well that account has been confirmed by the deputy interior minister of ukraine just to explain now that who of those opposition activists both men and both members of the Opposition Coalition council in belarus they are currently giving a press conference in the ukrainian capital kiev now the ukrainian minister called what Maria Cullison a covert did a brave action that was according to reports that she whipped up her ballot russian passport so that she could be forced over the border and as you say we dont know where she is right now. There are there. Is there is video going around on twitter right now of protesters in the better russian capital minutes calling for folk a listening cover to be released for information on her whereabouts so certainly people in belarus are aware of the abduction of the arrest if you like because those 3 figures were all bundled into an unmarked car in minsk on monday before they were taken to the Ukrainian Border now the Ukrainian Government is saying that they believe this was an attempt by the authorities and by president and exam to look at schenker to make it seem as if these opposition figures were just leaving bellerose of their own d accord running away from as they call it the struggle for democracy and theyre saying the ukrainians are saying that this attempt is clearly backfired and they deem another opposition candidates not planted to kind of a sky i was addressing the council of europe earlier on what was the message that she was sending out its. Well partly it was a familiar message that shes been saying for weeks now from exile in lithuania saying that there needs to be there needs to be pressure on Alexander Lukashenko but also sanctions on individuals who are responsible as she put it for Human Rights Violations both in terms of the crackdown on protests but also what the opposition called a rigged election around a month ago but also she she did say. She she said that there needs to be new elections as a 1st step because there are reports that Alexander Lukashenko has made comments hinting for example that hes been in power too long some are downplaying those comments but when asked about the svetlana tick in australia said well if hes not talking about about fresh elections before any constitutional changes then were not interested they need to be new and Fair Elections shes also talked about the bravery of the woman who actually campaigned for maria. Maria sneak over and saying that she would have been well aware that she might be about to be arrested but still its shocked a lot of her supporters and i was always saying people are now on the streets in minutes calling for her to be released dozens according to the Reuters News Agency have been arrested on tuesday for doing so and so the the situation continues where people are bravely trying to stand up for protestors putting themselves in harms way to try to stop other protesters being taken away but for the moment at least no no Political Movement in belarus all right barbara thank you very much. Many have called a genocide and now 2 soldiers from me in mar may have provided the evidence needed to bring a case to the International Criminal courts there are reports the 2 men are in the hague in what could be a breakthrough in the search for justice over the killing of muslim. Human rights group Fortify Rights says it has seen taped confessions from 2 soldiers who say they do say they deserted from the me and more army in the lengthy videos the men admitted to massacres rapes and the destruction approaching the villages the group says theyve also named other soldiers and senior commanders involved in the crimes homage in june has covered the Rohingya Crisis extensively and says they mean mars armys brutality has been exposed. Fortify rights representatives Fortify Rights of course is an International Human rights group they have viewed this video they obtained it by from the kind of army our kind of army is a rebel group in iraq kind state they are fighting the government of myanmar for greater autonomy in the region and they say that the video shows the confession of these 2 tatmadaw soldiers the tatmadaw is the name for me and morris military that they are foot soldiers and that these soldiers describe how they were ordered to exterminate rohingya who they saw in these villages that these soldiers name at least 19 other members of the military including senior commanders and that in these confessions they talk about the Clearance Operations in which they killed numerous villagers and in which they also participated in rapes of Village Women this is all very disturbing and of course ive been told by members of other Rights Groups that what is being described in these videos very much fits the pattern of testimonies taken from Rohingya Refugees over the years as far as the atrocities that were committed against them when that brutal crackdown by man mars military started in iraq and state in august of 2070 stuff osten has more from the hague. We are hearing reports that they might have a right here on monday officially the court denies that they are and cost 30. 00 which is probably now the case is that there is a Witness Protection Program here at the Prosecutors Office the Prosecutors Office i have to explain independent from the court so so far there hasnt been any rest warrant against these 2 individuals from me on my the i. C. C. The International Criminal court has a significant Protection Program for witnesses so if they are here its very likely that the court has helped them get. To the adolescents and also provide them with assistance so during their stay here but the Prosecutors Office says that consequent from any of this information while this investigation is still ongoing and i also urge everyone not to speculate because you have to understand this is a very sensible case that its a crime against humanity of course what happened in myanmar has been described as genocide and this if this is told this would be the 1st thats the most news from people within the military from me on my to come out so there is of course a lot of concern for the safety of these 2 people did to form a soldier so to court and the Prosecutors Office is not confirming if there are actually here in the hague right now. Tony im all for you is the executive director of legal action worldwide who was in bangladesh as a u. N. Investigator at the height of the crisis she says these soldiers testimony confirms the stories told by displaced. This is an astounding turn of events and certainly when i was a u. N. Investigator on the borders of bangladesh and as the hundreds of thousands are who would across the border we never thought that we would be in this situation at the stories that i knew seemed to resonate with what we have seen from the test in these these 2 for me and my soldiers that they were altered to kill indiscriminately their order to rape to gang rape brutally brutal Sexual Violence and since that time right now represent hundreds of bringing some of the most from the villages that these 2 people many of my soldiers have talked about and i talked to them earlier today in the camps to try to gauge their reaction to this and what they said was relief relief that theyre well tis heard what has happened is finally an admission from the miramar army but also that turns to anger and to sorrento and thinking about their loved ones and all say they reckon get that still remain in.

A new round of brecks that talks have started in london as the u. K. Acknowledged its plans to break part of its Withdrawal Agreement would violate International Law it wants to override customs rules designed to ensure there is no hard border between Northern Ireland and ireland if you do should actually be done trust and credibility are fundamental we fully expect the u. K. To honor the commitments negotiated and signed up to last year especially in regard to Citizens Rights and Northern Ireland any attempts by the u. K. To undermine the agreement would have serious consequences Lawrence Lees in westminster where he says talk of changing the customs rules has added more attention to these negotiations.

K. Side is basically saying it is prepared to break ins national law to try to force the europeans to enter into some sort of compromise on on its own red lines and plainly it does a number of things it is potential going to cause and yet another written so on the conservative party it could lead to very acrimonious no direct civs and an awful relationship between the u. K. And the European Union because a shadow over the u. K. Is reputation to the rest of the world as being a trustworthy part that and on top of that it also brings back in supply the status of the border inside the un and the violence and theres a great deal of people inside islands who are going to be very worried that what it might mean about the potential for a hard border going up splitting the on in the voting yes again into so its very very high stakes controversial stuff this from the british side.

Sarah. Well donald trump is being accused of playing politics for a suggesting a Coronavirus Vaccine could be ready by next month just ahead of the u. S. President ial election despite the president s suggestions the chief executives of 9 Drug Companies have promised not to rush through trials of experimenting with vaccines our White House CorrespondentKimberly Halkett has more. The u. S. President continues to project optimism he will be traveling to North Carolina and florida today in the last 24 hours as he held that press conference here at the white house he did continue to say that perhaps this could be ready by the end of october and that is of course the timing that would be significant for him because he wants to try and get this out before the november 3rd election but the c. E. O. s making it very clear that they will not commit to a political timeline now one of the reasons they dont want to commit to a timeline is the human trials are still underway and this involves tens of thousands of people and there has been some difficulty we understand of getting enough people to test the vaccine so the other big question of this is when this does come out who will get it when there are all kinds of things to work out the president has taken into account now seizing upon all of this is the president s rival democratic president ial nominee joe biden not only has he released a new ad contrast to his approach to a presidency with Donald Trumps saying this would be a fresh start versus Donald Trumps darkness but he also released a statement saying that donald trump when it comes to the vaccine refuses to listen to experts and scientists so well the c. E. O. s have come out urging the president ial candidates not to make this political its clear that both men are doing just that President Trump has replaced the obama era rule the salt and Racial Discrimination in American Housing the president says this will give local governments more freedom from federal regulations. Its a Beautiful Day in this washington suburb of Silver Spring maryland and the election is less than 2 months away that means over picnics the discussion is sometimes politics and i think we need a change in the united. We need. A new leader its very important for us to take it seriously were going to make that difference in 2 months neighborhoods like these are critical in picking who is president suburbs contain yearly half of all u. S. Voters and in 2016 they delivered a narrow victory to donald trump but this here he is struggling to keep those votes reach 911 im sorry that there is no one here to answer your comments to call with polls showing trump trailing joe biden in the suburbs the Trump Campaign has aired ads like these playing to what the campaign believes to be the fears of white suburbanites will save our cities and our suburbs or in the future of crime and gay are still ruptured and economic collapse that puppet joe biden would actually showed america but american suburbs are going through a dramatic transformation suburbs are now home to more immigrants and more africanamericans no longer the white enclaves of tribes thinking she wrongly assumes that black people and other people of color are not already integral members of suburban communities and also rightly assume that white people in suburban communities are racists who want to keep everyone out. The trump continues to attack democrats and their housing policies cancelling and obama a rule that forced cities to report on housing discrimination in their local communities new orleans had made strides under the obama rule says fair housing advocate delfin at martin she says trump will likely lose votes by demonizing minorities hes not really concerned about our though he again trying to appease and tap into the minds of those who already follow him it remains to be seen whether trumps racially charged Campaign Strategy works to sway those few who remain undecided.
