Ive heard so many threats but they wont break me i. Bought the station with my own money no one paid me. I suppose discipline whats happening now reminds me of ukraine in 2014 everything started in exactly the same way the young people with flowers now just dont understand what was happening here 990 s. Perhaps they want to return to 117 when people toppled the russian empire in a similar way and civil war but we want peace protests is also being held every day outside the bella Russian Embassy in moscow rome called sort of reports now from the russian capital. This is the 8th day where were covering the protests here outside the embassy a bill or is let me just to give you a hand self whats going on this is a live picture you can see people lining up with the white ribbon the flowers with the red and white flags once again this has been happening here for 8 days straight on saturday with still the largest turnout here as the line of protesters extended beyond the blog over the last few days with talk to people from all walks of life but this particular protests are caught my attention issues its a big chance there is no relief here waiting for something to happen being anxious there is nobody like sation there is no sense that there is space head it feels like there is a trick but you do not know when it will play out today is my wedding anniversary i wanted to you know i. D. C. Events because in our personal life its turning point 3 set in for the others its this is the moment at least you open in the resources for me uniting the students in suppost to new life Peaceful Demonstrations continue in minsk as well where earlier at least 65000 people came out in support of Alexander Lukashenko now those numbers are according to the interior ministry hours later and and see look at shango rally began that building up with our correspondent in minster. Boarding that there are over 100000 people the most recent reports indicate that the citys Independence Square is filled to near capacity similar scenes have been recorded in other places in belarus as well as pro and anti look at shanker rallies unfolded meanwhile nato is calling on minsk silat all the peaceful protests to continue and said that theyre going to as ation is following the events in bella ruse very closely the statement came when right after a look at shank award to his supporters thats a nato forces are building up they are army near the biller russian border lithuanias foreign minister was quick to denounce that say that statement saying that it is indeed a liar however president of belarus side exotica shankar still announced military drills near the countrys western borders. Although things appear calmer now in ments because the beginning of the week was marred with unrest which left a demonstrator dead video has now emerged reportedly showing the moment of the tragedy made of one you might find the following footage disturbing now here you can see a group of riot police who are just a few meters away from the alleged victim shortly after comes the moment the apparent moment the protester was killed. Ministry had previously claimed that the victim have tried to throw an explosive device at officers but it went off in his hand its now take a look at how events unfolded during the week. I just say can people but i do not think it was. Yes i swallowed yes q yes i have come out but i want to leave in a free and peaceful calm he knew. How much this mass that is going on can you take the time to tell. Me what you owe so should. I. Was that what it was. But it was. The belarus authorities have also been criticized for failing to protect journalists 64 were detained during this week among them reporters working for archies video agency ruptly who spent days behind bars. Nearly 7000 protesters were detained across the country this week the government began releasing them on thursday night promising that everyone would be free by friday though it is unclear that that actually happened doctors were among those who were held. What kind of doctors are you youre not doctors i dont know what you are werewolves thats the sort of thing they shouted 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 doctors in white robes on their knees with a machine gun to the head. The authorities have also been criticised for failing to protect journalists 64 were detained during the week among them reporters working for arties video agency ruptly who spent days behind bars as we have already told you. Alexander lukashenko has been at the helm of belarus since 1904 but this years election has been his most challenging quarter takes a look. In bellerose having the title go or daddy means youve got the most populist position in the entire post soviet sphere and for the recently reelected president Alexander Lukashenko hes held the position for decades. Of the russians have to hold on to look even in the most critical situation theres a tremendous mad well catch of the straw that you just took my racing to be 90 percent tomorrow it will be with you like we all know it is not for you to decide for. Themselves i envy myself as i am the last and only dictator in europe. Im not going to hold this position for a lifetime this soon as the people refuse my services ill take my bag under my arm and im going lucas shank i was on board the populist train before it was cool before politicians like steve bannon and donald trump probably even knew the meaning of the word one of his most recent populist stunts involved the dismissal of bellerose his agricultural minister after the ministers cows failed to gain lucas shank those approval. Why did you bring me here so why now tell the Security Service to put you in handcuffs if a person does not understand that this is auschwitz and you put him in charge of the holding who did not understand you were to. Look at shank as a man of inspections meetings with bureaucrats and reprimands of government officials when the cameras are watching of course this puts a smile on the faces of ordinary people who struggle daily with bureaucratic red tape its also the main reason why they call the shank obama for many baka is also a strong man who created an enclave of the soviet union with. Then europe its been a popular stance for years but now look at those image is facing some big problems. Sure look i shant go claims he won the election it seems like the Security Forces are on his side and for a while he only faced small pockets of pro western opposition but based on the brutality used by the police to control the situation arrests made of journalists and the death of a protester it seems like the entire countrys view of the government is definitely turning sour. That its possible lucas shank goes recent anti russia statements alley and made it his main base of support those who want closer cooperation with belarus is eastern neighbor we need to address the Russian Media reduce them not to say no incidents if you will see you need to get into the situation with dignity no gilsey good we have no gold to discredit the country clues to us arresting russian journalists didnt help the situation either. For the west hes always been europes last dictator even look at shankar himself said he knew people would dispute the Election Results whatever the case the belorussian president will need to father more support if he wants to remain at the head of the table. A number of countries have condemned what they called a rigged election and of the heavy handed response of the police the e. U. Has voiced its plans to sanction those responsible for the violence and what it called the falsification of Election Results some analysts that we spoke to are saying that sanctions from the e. U. Might be just a threat but not a real action while others said negotiation between the opposition and the government remains key. Will probably never be another election with mr no question about the people that really found out that shows its very scary to see what could happen you know as a comparison with our with ukraine though the situation is completely different i dont think the sanctions would work they dont work you know we all know that but thats the only thing the European Union has so they speak of sanctions im not sure they will impose them they speak of sanctions it seems that the protests against look i think or have quite strong support from outside bailout or was if you look at the media reports in the western countries you can see a clear sympathy for the protesters against russia you see all over the claims that the elections have been raped but no clear proven evidence has been giving you can see all over the same structures the same the same procedures in all the color revolutions of the past 20 years you can see of the arts quarter fist which is like a trademark for foreign interventions rich in change operations so this is really alarming and we should look quite closely at this critical point. Whether they are what nature is for or while it will depend on both sides that would be reasonable for a girl to be in doing what he hasnt done for the last 26 years and that has to be given the who original Sports Obsession some procedures we couldnt close so what he does of the document political document around himself as addressed corruption thats not to say that the government is entirely blameless hasnt made mistakes and so on but the idea in the west that hes only because hes a is a dictator is simply rolled on the other hand as we know from many countries in the world in the west in the east governments them. Always popular with everybody in the interests of everybody supporters of the government and opposition to the government for everybody to be in a sense for the constitutional flush and. About the reason the solution that everybody can live with. 2 officers have been hospitalized after being hit by a massive rock thrown by black lives that matter protesters in Portland Oregon police fired smoke of grenades as some of the hundreds of demonstrators allegedly graffitied the Sheriffs Office. Hundreds have come out in portland to again protest against the police after 2 hours of relative calm some started throwing rocks and tried to storm Law Enforcement property that came as many demonstrated outside norma county Sheriffs Office this marks the 80th consecutive night of antiracism antipolice demonstrations in the city. This week beirut was gripped by large antigovernment protests following the massive explosion on august 4th of the killed more than 200 people the lebanese government including the Prime Minister have resigned over the disaster although they are still acting as caretakers protesters blame incompetence by the authorities for the blast they stormed to government buildings demanded proper accountability for the explosion that destroyed so many lives along with large swathes of the lebanese capital. As you can see behind me the protesters have started a fire and they throwing rocks and bits of paper and at the Police Officers and the army on the other side now the army has been responding with tear gas at which point the crowd this side surges back and this comes as the numbers of missing stanley turns into. Samis and i sang 20 people dead were not hearing the sounds of tear gas or the crowd is starting to move backwards the fear is at any moment the situation here and i can i can actually smell to get the situation is becoming increasingly felt that danger right behind me is the army has a lot of tear gas in the air theyve managed to push the protesters so theyre away from the Parliament Building and down the streets and there is the left over smell of tear gas in the air as you can see the riot police and the army are in full gear theyre taking this seriously they have been accused of Excessive Force and theyve admitted that they have used live ammunition and tear gas in the past. Thousands of tons of Ammonium Nitrate exploded on that fateful day leveling the port area thousands were injured in the explosion its overwhelming the Beirut Health system which was already grappling with the pandemic scores of buildings were damaged or destroyed leaving up 2300000 people homeless. The numbers of course you dont give the full picture of how many lives there are now changed forever its an added tragedy for one family already dealing with it their daughters cancer they were in the hospital when the blast struck the father didnt survive r. T. Has been hearing their story.

And i want to move on to another hospital jihad died right before his daughters eyes at only 6 gemma faces 2 battles most adults would struggle to win cancer and coping with her fathers death she drew for me and around a circle she said she colored that was red i knew its her bed. And it was full of blood suhas heart breaks when she blames herself for letting her daughter witness all that and letting down her son by promising that his father would be at his birthday which is this week i promised my son that are me and his theyre going to be on his birthday and i broke this promise and everyone sing with happy birthday for my son its his birthday on the 30th of august. So. My love. I ask sue her if she wants to take a break from the interview she refuses adamantly theres just so much she feels she didnt tell her husband enough suhas biggest concern now is her daughter processing their loss gemma seems to be protecting her mother by not sharing her feelings. She told them he was listening he heard her and i prefer can i not im not a bit not able to give details because they are killing me from inside me. So can you imagine herself can you imagine the images in her brave passing whenever she closes her eyes so you are find redemption and believe in family pictures now as she relives the fondest of memories this is how we used to sleep playing our head on each other because you know whenever i put my head on his saw that i feel secured even when hes around i dont go so far marcus i dont do anything for the house to fix care of Everything Everything here so think a lot of lourdes from my shoulder. This is the last photo of their family together she shows it to me as im sitting on the very couch where it was taken this story has been gaining traction across me jean the arabic world and we were the 1st she so kindly let in as she struggles to deal with the pain of the loss in the home she herself can face yet how am i able to come back to this house through. Her. Oh my supposed to put my ribs on this to know and visit and dont know is forever is about the one. I was waiting for him just to put to hard for me to put his arms to feel secure.

T. Russia this week claimed a world 1st as saying it had approved a covert vaccine for use names put mcvie the authorities confirmed work was now under way for its mass production however a huge concerns have been expressed around the world over the speed of the Development Amid fears russia has cut corners in the race against the current virus no mass testing has yet been carried out and no details published about vaccines effectiveness i hope that the russians have actually definitively proven that the vaccine is safe and effective i seriously doubt that theyve done that it is not about being 1st it is about having a try tested and say vaccine which will be given thats the important part to hundreds of millions maybe even billions of people the problem is that we know very little because the russian authorities are not being very transparent and so i am very skeptical about whats happening in russia. Our foreign colleagues who probably want to kind of competitive advantage over the russian vaccine are offering judgments that are to our minds completely groundless in fact many countries have taken excel already decisions in their vaccine studies but the russian vaccine has already seen distinct Clinical Trials and evidence. The vaccine was developed at moscows gemmell institute medical workers teachers and those considered to be in other high risk groups will be the 1st to receive it they release it to the general public is set for the new year the Developers Say around 2000 people will get the new vaccine shortly as trials continue more than 1000000000 doses of the russian vaccine have already been requested from Different Countries across the globe orders mostly came from asia and the middle east curial dimitry of the head of the Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund investing in the countrys research outlined more details about the new vaccine. What the russians people of the world of very body are tools of virus a very tired of the restrictions of very tired all the refuse to come on. Those are one of the countries. In which we believe this very very active rate. Of all people now have better hope to resume a normal life as a vaccination. Well im confident enough to inject good looks in myself my wife my of and your 4 year old parents and i think its very important that we understand the Science Behind the vaccines though russia great story knowledge which you can get money in developed very successful in all of it seeing and mercy and then basically current virus just proved to be very similar the merce though weve had great science and will likely that there is a good have been done really applied very close late it was a fight theyre not hiring its beneficial for russian because. Everything will be followed almost ive seen to date i know that 100 percent always a line tears fell apart or strong immune response or significant side effects of 100 percent protection of animals forests you are just a level of immunity. It will produce stronger immune response Going Forward we believe because only ones who counsels through different of the not by respect thirst as it was used the lid was a big scene and that means that our books in response will last longer hopefully it will be more than a year while scientists believe the years but the horse shows us a fact a time will be needed to really understand the duration of the vaccination. And ever since people are starting to receive permission about how were seeing it more and more interest but frank a lot of western Media Outlets a lot access to our information so i think now we have break ins through this information bear is it exists and the more people understand what we can do they go because theres outside to learn about the exchange more countries become interested even today with the age of onset and by israel serbia elude us though brazil who are interested who or the russian mix you dont work with us on. This is our to international. Lead. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by some person or those with
