Interior Ministry Pledge that they will let all of the detainees go by the end all for this friday now so for around 2000 people have been freed and thats approximately a 3rd of all those who were detained during the week long almost a week long rally a lot. Among those people who were detained were medics as well lets take a listen to this firsthand account as it was the women were lying on the floor and the men who were in the next hour they were constantly me so badly great just how lonely it was a terrible how the bloody frozen high lanes were just what we heard every night in the basement was Terrible Group Prison Guards were saying whats wrong is your life thats bad decided to act out and we lose war here because of some nonsense what kind of doctors are you if youre not doctors i dont know what you are where louis is thats the sort of thing they shouted at and a lot of swear words that i dont want to repeat they were also saying this when you were 1st held in the street everyone driving by was shocked person white ropes on their knees with inching guns they had a machine that now protest in belarus have moved it beyond the streets as as factories bland send different markets began protesting expressing their son and geraghty with it those of the mass rallies as well one of belaruss biggest tracks theres a tractor manufacturers well they suspended their operations partially after employees decided to walk out on strike now the Prime Minister all deliveries decided to visit at this plant and cut off to the strikers however they were not satisfied with what the meeting and now theyre heading towards the russian capital often minced now theyre calling for reforms 3rd calling to bring justice to those who were hurt during the mass rallies and theyre also calling for the departure of president look at shango now the president himself will he reacted to the growing number of work your support testing and address the strikers by calling on them to get back to work and he also promised that all of the detention cases that took place over the last all almost a week will be investigated meanwhile in syria minister all bellew small he. He apologized to the people who are hurt during the protest in a statement earlier on friday as well now about the 1st official results of the votes which took place last sunday was announced on friday and gave president lukashenko a landslide victory his opponents as it managed to cut off scale she dismissed the result state and it has absolutely nothing to do with reality as you call it she said that she will create a cold the Nation Council that will see to the peaceful transfer of power in the bill or reduce meanwhile this comes as the European Union is also mulling sanctions against a bill or is germany and the European Union have both expressed concern and support for science sanctions on the the bill or russian officials calling mass arrests off the demonstrators also a spokesman for german chancellor Angela Merkel she said at that point in postelection president of bill reese was on the except civil and the chancellor was shocked by what she had seen how these statements a game just to head off a special video called off easy euphoria of ministers on friday who can be in to discuss the measures that they will take on the situation in belarus. To discuss the latest developments lets bring in political analyst mohsin mccourty thank you for joining us on the program now martin is that you justified in moving to impose sanctions on bellaver use. It really has to impose some kind of sanctions because. Underlying the president of the of the European Commission said that president of the show should be more careful in the way he checks the votes and i give merkel a spokesman said she was very concerned about Election Results and as we just head she says that whats happening is unacceptable so therefore from our own point of view European Union feels it has to do something it has to support those who have demonstrated because it is a democratic right but from the European Union point of view if it is very very kind of a very delicate situation they dont want to tip. It into chaos they dont want to call for the elimination of the removal of president. Instead of saying who else will take his place and the European Union is looking at going to roost if you like. Between russia and the west and between china and the west and china plays an Important Role now in the russian economy so another way that the European Union could change. Would be through financial sanctions because bill recently Something Like 10000000000. 00 of hard currency debt and they have to borrow money from banks Western Banks to service that money so you have been you could say no you know going to get that money so what would happen well theyre inviting then the chinese or chinese buying to come in and offer the money and once the chinese in are in there theyre going to play a more important wrote a russian bank the russians might Community Say well we were provide some money for you so therefore the European Union has to be very very cool because it doesnt want to tip. Into russias arms and it doesnt want to increase chinese. Influence. But i dont think time they say human rights are important. Moral obligations are important and the president had a moral obligation to recommit to to to rule the country in a democratic fair and just way and hes not doing it at present he should just do that that will be what we use claiming the election was falsified do you think it has enough grounds to make such a claim. When everyone thinks it which was the right because thats who had learned to robs going there who was the prime position candidate theres no need to a new because shes really creating a rest now she was awarded 9. 9 percent of the vote and if you look at some of the crowds and she she attracted crowds and 50000 in others and then when nobody accepts that looking to receive 80 percent of the vote im surprised she claims that many why not say 55 percent that passion but more credible with it but arguing that stating that. He received 80 percent of the road that is in fact not credible and practically no one in. Really believes that but but lugar she has a lot of support within. The countryside industry and agriculture and state hands and the countryside on the whole supports and pensioner support him and so on so hes got her a bloc there which supports him but of course the people who are demonstrating and many young people and then it often involved in the in the Services Sector which is private is the only part of the economy was so therefore. Facing greater and greater opposition from very very important people even the young people these are the technologically sophisticated ones who are desperately needed to drive the country forward and hes losing these people so he has to do something which will in fact entice him to stay in the other lives and also to build up the economy and to work with him but it. What is happening now is it appears that the 2 part of the 2 sides lucas sugar supporters and have been no demonstrations in favor look. Look at your supporters and the opposition the opposition are gaining more traction and theyre coming out all the time and you have a situation where you have struck psychology which is very important because the larger the crowd is and the more infuriated if they find that people are killed or blood is shed or tortured and so on then become very angry and once they become very angry theyre basically under control because the system here that there be a russian authorities only have 15000 security personnel and 100000 people demonstrate and do not accept the whole morning the k. G. B. And the police and so on you know destructions what is then looking to do is going to uni force is he going to send in the military in a very delicate position that he must guard against we are shedding blood because that would exacerbate the situation so what do you think about every step of releasing those arrested this week do you think thats just a response to International Pressure. Thats a response also the internal pressure but also International Pressure but as the commentators said theres another still 4000. 00 in jail do. They claiming there. And they are treated in an inhumane way and that becomes international and that can now if that continues and then more. More more people morman the k. G. B. In the and theres a good as there was the rest more then it becomes a more more difficult situation and so what he has to do is busy to release the ball and say right ok we made mistakes. And he will punish those who committed to who tortured. Him the those arrested and. And they will be held to account and so on and we must have justice because one of the main points of the delusion is we want Justice Justice is also human just because of electoral justice. Lets go analysts muslim accord thank you for your time thank you. United Arab Emirates and israel have struck a peace accord the deal brokered by washington will see israel halt its west bank alex asian plants the palestinians though arent happy after the israeli Prime Minister said alex ation isnt completely off the table. Sure there is no change in my plan to implement our sovereignty in today and somalia in full coordination with the United States im committed to it its still on the table. The last palestinian leadership rejects what the United Arab Emirates has done and considers it a betrayal of jerusalem and the palestinian cause nevertheless the scale of more pain now reports that some do believe that its another player in the middle east which lies the true heart of this new accord. Israel and the United Arab Emirates have formally agreed to establish diplomatic ties now many see this as a historic move as for many years arab states have not recognized israel as a country this is a monumental step to forging toes of cooperation in the middle east donald Trump Supporters say he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for arranging this but the palestinians arent exactly thrilled with this new arrangement the deal between. United Arab Emirates and israel is a betrayal of the palestinians given the historic. Relationship that israel has had with arab states in other words no peace. According to the old formula no peace was possible until the palestinian issue was resolved in the past the mission is not resolved the Palestinian Authority is now formally withdrawing its envoy from the United Arab Emirates they say recognizing a country that is occupying them is simply unacceptable now in the diplomatic fallout of this deal were starting to see what this is really all about aside from the u. A. E. Israel in the United States there is a 4th country that is now showing up in a lot of the conversations surrounding the deal iran peace between the arabs and the israelis is in rome as well as nightmare no one has done more to intensify the conflict between the arabs and the israelis of iran what we see today is a new middle east the trend lines a very different today and we see the future is very much in the gulf and with israel and the post is with the Iranian Regime it clings to power on the basis of brute force iran often labeled as israels largest regional opponent has denounced the deal the Islamic Republic of iran is confident that history will show that this was a mistake made by israel and this dagger that has been unjustly through. Rust by the United Arab Emirates into the backs of the Palestinian People and all muslims will lead to strengthening resistance and the unity of the muslim people against israel as well as fuel confrontation in the region when donald trump visited saudi arabia he spoke of building an arab nature that would work as a coalition in the region opposing iran and fighting terrorism and it seems now this year storage deal is being revealed not so much to be about getting recognition for israel or protecting palestinians from annexation but about targeting one of washingtons most longstanding opponents in the region there is definitely. Toward iran and i think the timing is ideal given whats happening in beirut and the fact that hezbollah is now and the pressure in lebanon with the government having. Resigned there so we have a Coalition Building disagreement rather than easing tensions in the gulf within the arab states will. Harden the stances or at least continue to maintain the antagonism that we have. The massive explosion last week in beirut destroyed much of the city and locals have been left trying to pick up the pieces not just of the shots of buildings but also their lives one Fashion Designer shot his stare his story. I think it was always so happy we do facing the put it is very good inspiring because its industrially reaching details everything is rings because the destruction the wreckage which time it would take to be rebuilt. There are no words to describe my team and the feeling we cant but thing going to the real life and well no one was hurt believe this building 10 minutes before the blast hit and thank god the most current thats the most important thing. Of the hard work of 20 years was destroyed the missed seconds it was because of this tuesday explosion which went off just across the street. This is another challenge for us how we can get our hands on funds to rebuild they say there will be compensation but thats not certain and this isnt something we used to 11 and i hope we can get compensation to rebuild. This area the thinking of coming out with a new collection inspired by this very heartbreaking incident my team and i are really picking up the pieces i really want to come out with a collection inspired by beirut the suffering of beirut. Still to come students in germany have an advertisement been funding the radical and tafe activist group via that situation face trial that after the break. I dont meet those old people some of my Friends School jane this is true of your humanity guys east is slopestyle for the most you by going by each little. Moment us. Our life in flow of all you do we all change or mold our lifestyle change each. Welcome back france is ramping up its military presence in the Eastern Mediterranean thats off to turkey began on oil and Gas Exploration in disputed waters the powers this is deployment is only a temporary measure but its relations with anchor already strained with more his solid defense. President not calling has signaled the along as tensions continue to rise between corys and turkey the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean is worrying tookey is unilateral decisions on Oil Exploration are causing tensions these must stop in order for a peaceful dialogue between neighboring and nato allies to take place but this seemingly didnt stop the french president from reinforcing frances military presence in the mediterranean its confirmed paris will send to ref a l. Fighter jets and the naval frigate laugh i et a move welcomed by the greek Prime Minister i thank president mccrone for his cell a dirty Emmanuel Mccraw is a true friend of greece but also a fervent defender of European Values and International Law the greek pm bill this as an act of solidarity but you only have to scratch the surface to see that there is more going on here in recent months process also found itself clashing with turkey in the mediterranean city these past few days we have seen turkish warships deliver syrian mercenaries to libyan soil this is a serious and explicit intrenchments of what was agreed upon in berlin i must reiterate the prerequisite for any political solution in libya is the cancellation of this document but with that incident still fresh in france is mind it appears to have been keen to show solidarity. With a fellow member in this case greece last month mark owen even called for sanctions against turkey over these purported violations in the Eastern Mediterranean now the arrival of turkeys new seismic civvy vessel this caught the attention of the e. U. The latest developments rick stream the worrying what is needed to be done is to engage in solving all the open issues in line with principles of good neighborly relations International Law and positive engagement with fronts now bolstering its military might to aid greeces plight greece is perhaps our feeling in boulder and its place its military on high alert recalling naval and air force personnel from the holidays turkey for its part says it will protect its rights toys and interests in coastal areas and with france now wading into this pact turkeys president is accused of provoking regional players into taking wrongful steps there is concern that this action by france rather than defeating the situation could in fact escalated jollity even ski r. T. Paris. Students in germany have been funding the controversial activist Group Without even knowing it its come to light that part of the tuition fees paid to Cologne University have been going to the group 3 years piece all of our reports. The anti fascist organization on t. V. For have received a lot of press in 2020 with even the president of the United States chime in the United States of america will be designating as a terrorist organization here in germany they havent received that type of criticism but there is a controversy surrounding the use of University Students fees from cologne to go towards a contribution to the group for the 2022. 21. 00 winter semester each student at the university of cologne pays 280. 00 euro and 0. 95 for 205. 00 euro and 0. 95 goes to the Student Council is meant to pay the transport discounting workers salary and for the departments work out of the 10000000. 00 euro the council will take in around 8 and a half 1000 will be paid to the Student Branch on to take its delicate because while on demonised here the way they are in the us a report by germanys internal Security Service the beer file has some pretty strong things to say about a cake and the groups its associated with conservative student groups in a not so happy that they have to contribute to a case without choice it shouldnt be that every student has to subsidise a group that has been classified as extremist by the office for the protection of the constitution we regularly demand that the funding of n. T. For a k. Be cut the majority of students who spoke to said they had absolutely no problem paying a contribution to our case i dont know how much the payment is but im sure it is not enough and it should be higher i think its good because its important to support the social organisation and is dealing with many board and social issues and theyre less you know we ended in improving wellbeing and i think its a good idea to support them and. I think it does make sense and i think it is important and why political spectrum is represented here and if you know problem that it is fine and from the student piece a k. Has received funding from students at the university of cologne since it was set up 15 years ago neither the student body that doles out the funding nor the students themselves see any reason why that should change any time soon but while the name continues to be mentioned in trembling tones by those in power the group may find themselves coming under more scrutiny.
