Neither free nor fair government has launched a crackdown on the protest movement. And were going to be getting an update on the situation in minsk right now our correspondent Nick Connelly is there will get him on the line a little bit later in the show and get an update on whats been happening there in minutes for now though lets move on to our next top story of the European Commission is expected today to unveil a long awaited policy overhaul on migration that comes after years of starts and stops and disagreements over how many migrants to take in and where to settle them over that time hundreds of thousands of people have fled war political instability and poverty in search of a better life in europe. On the outer edges of europe thousands of Asylum Seekers are trying once more to settle in a new makeshift home anxiously waiting for political leaders to decide their fate. The devastating fire at their previous home the morea refugee camp brought to a new door to europes my current dilemma but the question remains what is the Long Term Plan for these desperate men women and children. The continents migrant issue became a migration crisis in 2050 that year thousands drawn trying to cross the mediterranean on recchi unseaworthy boats in april e. U. Interior ministers proposed a 10 point plan focusing on efforts to combat people smuggling operations and a voluntary Resettlement Program but the situation was moving faster than politicians could keep up with the number of people crossing and dying in the attempt kept on rising. Chairman chancellor Angela Merkel put a positive spin on the crisis yams ophelias this aphis us and us we can do this as germany opened its doors the socalled balkan route became the path of choice for people who wanted to avoid the dangerous expense of mediterranean crossing countries like hungary built border fences to keep them out which didnt always work. And early 2016 e. U. Officials announced an agreement to pay turkey billions to manage more than 2000000 refugees from syria who had sought refuge there and retire in turkey would curb migration into the e. U. Since then the number of illegal crossings have gone down by 90 percent. Yet migrants and refugees continue to make their way often by ball from turkey to nearby greek islands ending up in the. Overflowing counters like the former moria com which is now burnt down. But for more on the story we can speak to do interviews alexander phenomenon in brussels hi alexandra migration has been such an explosive issue within the European Union what do we know about the commissions proposal well it appears that the European Commission will try to break the deadlock on migration by presenting a pragmatic proposal that takes into account how difficult it is to agree on that issue one of the most sensitive issues in the European Union and that to take into account that everybodys a red lines have to be respected and that will stress once again the solidarity in the European Union 2 key issues here we expect the European Commission commission to stress that its important to intensify affords to return those with no right to stay in the European Union to their home countries the other issue is that the European Commission will stress that its important to beef up screenings for new arrivals at the external borders so overall i would say that this report proposal is expected to show that europe is getting once again tougher on migrants alexander you mentioned red lines one big one has been that many e. U. Member states are still reluctant to take in more migrants so tell us how these compromises and incentives in this proposal would work. So the key word here is flexible contributions and that is of course the way of acknowledging that there are countries who refused to take in refugees and migrants there its not a lot that you can do about that so the European Commission is expected to tell such countries such as hungary the Czech Republic of paul instead if they continue to refuse to take in refugees and migrants they need to do more in the areas they need for example to take over the responsibility of returning those with no rights to stay in the European Union take care of the fly communicate with the governments of the countries the people are coming from so this is what is expected to be proposed today our correspondent alexander phenomena reporting for us from brussels thank you so much. Ok lets return to our top story now about a story from minsk or we mentioned that in belarus is a battle president aleksander look at she has taken the oath of office in secret defying mass protests and we have been able to get our correspondent nick conley on the line in minsk shes joining us nick tell us what the situation is like where you are right now. We were about to go live when a police car screeched to a full containment took off camera way month now they can in fact still refusing to let us use our camera to see very much on edge suddenly weve seen there are more police around so i think. The dow is now falling this surprising or duration shows now on edge this regime is i think there is fear that people will react badly to this surprise event and this is the 1st time this kind of things happen in the month definitely a change in a change of atmosphere and the very least people just will meet with me right now that is remarkable and i mean look at genco has been sworn in this was not announced at all this happened essentially in secret so tell us what the ceremony was what it what it looked like this definitely wasnt someone whos very confident confident of his own sports and the man who claims to proceed. In that election in august but we also this was a dress rehearsal the streets were closed yes there was some soldiers in dress uniforms but they will need to see to it no room is just on the weekends so children including booked up foreign dignitaries expected that this actually happens we took everyones surprise including state media here. And. Because we have so far. Been just reached by citizenship rest of it some telegrams it looks like a very modest nothing like the kind of huge spectacle thats normally. Been put in the only live t. V. To feeling the pressure and people reacting intensely gathering. Nic how is the opposition reacting to this. Well i think were still in the kind of disbelief and shock phase i think itll take them out to people to really work out what has happened and to kind of see this weve definitely had seen people already going out with most business like all the testing on the streets smaller groups people. Seem to ready being arrested but there have been angry rebuttals from the opposition some comparing this to going to secret must be a coronation something that really isnt the teaching of a head of state but she wanted to think. I think well see where this goes you know in the days and hours to come but definitely he sees a sign of someone who is feeling that he is someone who is worried about what people will. Need to know you have been in minsk for some time now covering the demonstrations do you think this is going to galvanize protesters or is this really a blow to their. I definitely dont think its a blood test i think its a sign its a sign of weakness from the governments and much of a success but even with all the security and all the resources that disposal. Seem to need in order to carry this out in such haste and in such strange circumstances we had expected the russian dignitaries to be here in recent days underlining to listen to gin and listening to gracious russia. Even any big russian speaking to this event is a sign that the plan for a must last moment and not the way they would want to do it i think you need to stress what how much pressure these protests already seeing on this race you can just bring out and thousands and its a. Government which amount of money in overtime paid to 270. 00 weve already heard the government talking about trying to freeze tensions or cost in other ways just by bringing up and. This is already really putting the government under financial pressure is one of psychological pressure and people when you talk to them yes theyre worried yes they will know the stories of people ended up in jail with jobs but they say weve had enough with tired of being scared you know steve we can just. Get small to become less regular just these changing its coming more local people meeting with their neighbors in yards hanging out flags organizing different fun forms of protest causing state companies i think this is very much the beginning and the end of this process our correspondent nick ali reporting from minsk president Alexander Lukashenko has been sworn into office in a surprise inauguration ceremony today nic thank you so much for that update. All right lets check in now on some other headlines from around the world thousands have taken at the streets of bulgaria for an independent state march against the Government People gathered outside parliament in sofia to demand the resignation of Prime Minister boyko bloody self and his cabinet they accuse them of corruption and having links to all of arcs. In brazil flash floods have hit the city of Rio De Janeiro blocking roads and leaving cars stranded residents have been struggling to make their way through water logged streets after torrential rains hit neighborhoods to the south of the city. More than half of the pilot whales stuck in australias biggest stranding on record are believed to have died rescuers have been struggling to free the nearly 500. 00 mammals each doctor has mania the stranded pod was 1st but 1st believed to be about half the size before further aerial searches spotted another group of around 200. 00 nearby. Youre watching d. W. News still to come on our show the un says it is that leaky oil tanker in the red sea could explode at any moment but war in yemen is blocking the cleanup. Thats in a moment but 1st doctors treating russian Opposition Leader alexina volley after he was poisoned say he has been discharged from the hospital in berlin doctors say a full recovery may be possible of all he was airlifted to germany last month after becoming sick during a visit to siberia german chancellor Angela Merkel described the case as attempted murder after lab analysis showed she was poisoned with a noble chalk nerve agent russia has said there is no evidence of a crime. And our chief Political Editor michelle are standing by outside the Charity Hospital in berlin where election of ali was being treated what has the hospital said about all these release. Well the hospital said that he was well enough to leave the hospital which he has done over the past 24 hours. And that its still unclear what long term effect there will be since then just a short while ago. Himself was taken to social media and you posted on instagram reporting the moment he saw himself in the mirror for the very 1st time where he said that he thought he was a character from lord of the rings after those 24 days in intensive care 16 of those in artificially induced coma it is usually sarcastic tone he speaks of the recovery still to make that there should be play station on a medical prescription because doctors have advised him to spend more time playing games and also taking to social media which im sure he will be do more in the coming days of the big question of course now as weve seen a photograph online where he is quite clearly somewhere around here near the to park you see the Charity Clinic behind me somewhere in a park whether he will return to russia from what he says in that post where he talks about the physiotherapy that he still requires this doesnt sound like hes going to leave his doctors necessarily any time soon because he says he still needs them but clearly a step forward in his recovery and a new. Code from the who is also referencing to give blood in me a putin saying that the provocation failed so far michel and we know this case has put yet another strain on german russian ties how does the situation stand right now on the diplomatic front. Well thats a clear allegation not just from the vani but also from the german chancellor after she learns that nerve agent used was not the chalk which was developed in soviet russia but this was an attack on of on his life that was weeks ago after she had that confirmation and that russia had some questions to answer ever since we seem to talk it through we believe with both sides claiming its not. Withholding information or not giving handing over evidence in the case of germany and so i think this will stay of the political level with those very loud calls also from europe that there be an independent investigation into what actually occurred and relations were already strained of course and the big focus is on the north stream to pipeline which directly links germany and russia for the very 1st time there was a crack in the determination by the german chancellor to that project go ahead interestingly own stuff or against that you had an exclusive interview with one of his key people as saying that that would be something that could be used as propaganda thats what we stand this stand very many question marks over how much political impact in effect this case with our chief Political Editor michel that has made central berlin for us thank you. Now more than 200000. 00 people in the United States have now died after contracting the coronavirus it is the highest number for any country in the world even though the u. S. Accounts for only about 4 percent of the global population and the capital washington the u. S. House of representatives held a moment of silence for the victims led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi rise for a moment of silence and remembrance of those more than 200000 americans who have passed away from the cupboard 19 virus. Palosi has blamed the deaths on descent from nation and negligence and tackling the penn time it by the white house but president onil trump insists the u. S. Is rounding the corner of the pandemic a claim he has been making for months the high death toll is putting his handling of the outbreak in the spotlight as he campaigns for a 2nd term in office. And we asked people in the city of denver what they had to say about this tragic milestone. Or that other crime have a record in the world could have. Public private or. Relieved to. Remember. We think represent a good job i think that there is a story on the other side that wants to say how bad hes handled it but nobody knew where nobody knew where it was coming from in the beginning or what it was all about. And some of that criticism of President Trump has lashed out at china blaming it for spreading the virus trump went on the attack in a previous message at the United NationsGeneral Assembly as a world body marks 75 years since its founding the annual gathering took place with coronavirus restrictions. Face masks and tight security at u. N. Headquarters even though the most distinguished guests joined by video link a precaution to avoid wessling the coronavirus pandemic that has already killed almost 1000000 people worldwide. To a half empty hole of socially distance u. N. Ambassadors u. N. Chief terrorists warned about tensions between the u. S. And china threatening to ted the organization and the world a part of the 5 or so. Oh lord cannot afford the future too much as we call them use the globe in a great friction. Some throw them financial rules and into america but if you show intelligence capacity. A technological and economic divide rescreen everything returning. And military divide and we lost the war at all costs. And the increasingly difficult relationship between the 2 superpowers was on show as soon as President Trumps prerecorded statement started rolling. To address the United NationsGeneral Assembly 75 a us leader said the u. N. Should hold beijing accountable for the covert 19 crisis. And trump championed his policy of putting his countrys National Interests fast. As president i have rejected the failed approaches of the past and i have proudly putting america 1st just as you should be putting your characters 1st. With early voting for the u. S. President ial elections already underway in some u. S. States trump speech attacking china on trade in the environment was aimed as much at u. S. Voters as other world leaders. In contrast russias president putin and chinese president xi jinping struck an unusually conciliatory note they called for a Global Response to the coronavirus pandemic and more International Cooperation when we are fully we should embrace the vision of a community with a shared future we should see each other as members of the same big family pursue win win cooperation and not fall into the trap of a clash of civilisations. Critics would say chinas actions really reflect that stomps on the United Nations 75th anniversary unity is in short supply. Fears are growing over the fate of an oil tanker that has been stranded off the coast of yemen for more than 5 years experts warn the tanker may soon break apart causing one of the Largest Oil Spills in living memory with devastating impacts on the environment and the economy. From above its a pinprick in the waters off yemen but experts say this oil tanker is like a floating bomb that could go off at any moment the ship known as the f. S. A. Safe has been stranded off the countrys coast near the red sea oil terminal. In the port city of data for more than 5 years since the start of the civil war. The fear is now that its cargo of more than 1000000 barrels of oil will spill into the sea the u. N. Is calling for urgent action. If it really goes so very very alarmed at the growing list of such. Rapture. Images such as these highlight why the International Community is concerned taken in 2019 they reveal how parts of the ship are rusting and corroded and in need of vital maintenance. To show that oil is already leaking from pipes on board. But the ship has become a bargaining chip in the ongoing conflict between the rebels in yemen and the Saudi Led Coalition trying to defeat them. The tank is more close to an area controlled by rebel forces in july this year they agreed in principle to allow the u. N. To access the shift to carry out repairs and assess ways of securing the cargo. But despite the dire state of the vessel who these appear to 1st want guarantees that they own the oil on the ship only then it seems well they let inspections go ahead and avert a potential disaster. Now people in the u. S. Appear to be growing more divided by the day that is something thats fascinated to swiss photographers for their new book divided we stand the couple drove across the us capturing portraits from a polarized nation in a state of flux. Looking for america encounters from a journey to find phrases that reflect something about the land of the free. 25000 kilometers through a divided country.
