His crimes with a network of. Good morning welcome this is r. T. International and we will start this hour in belarus where another day of nationwide strikes has hit the country hundreds of workers have taken to the streets of the countrys capital theyre marching through the city towards one of the key factories in minsk where the president Alexander Lukashenko is currently giving a speech because of calling on him to step down and vowed to hold strikes until their demands are met on sunday even so a rally in support of the it was the 1st public gathering of his backers since the disputed results of the recent president ial election were announced a bit later in the day though opposition protesters held a huge march for freedom through the capital through other belorussian cities. They accused of pulling the power by rigging the election while they had to position movements for a moment to get off scott says shes ready to assume power of his writing process picks up the story. Well 1st of all of the rally in support of the protesters and builders has been taking place here outside of the countrys embassy for over a week already and though for from the numbers in bellews was sold the largest certain out here just this past weekend as people voiced their anger at the results of the election in that builders and the ensuing violence as well throughout the week here was saul both anti and roll schenkel protesters as you can see right now its morning monday morning and not a lot of people here actually just the police and some reporters but we are expecting a rally here after Business Hours and meanwhile diesels in astray sions continued in minsk where on a sunday at least 65000 people came out in support of that Xander Lukashenko thats those numbers are boarding to the interior ministry look at schenkel spoke to his a supporters at length and thanked them for their dedication now for many a belorussians look i shant go somewhat over a father figure who took the country out of the abyss back in the ninetys there was some are a not very happy with his 26 year tenure now the European Union and nato both supported to peaceful opposition protests and said that the election in villa reuss was neither free nor it was fair also calling for personal sanctions against all those responsible for rigging their lection and that the violation of for human rights now when addressing his supporters. Look at shankar said that said the election in bill reuss will not be a rerun now if that happens you said that would mean the death of a nation. Every one of. Her. Grandmothers yes but i support Alexander Lukashenko i wasnt forced to come here this is my personal choice. I thought so many threats but they wont break me if i book the station with my own money no one paid me and it was really to try to get you to know i suppose discipline whats happening now reminds me of ukraine in 2014 and everything started in exactly the same way. The young people with flowers now just die 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 now just hours later and anti look a chicago rally began the building up in minsk as the citys Independence Square was filled to capacity as well as some other places in the russian capital of course a similar similar events unfolded elsewhere in bill a ruse as droll and angela the schenkel rally began spreading and now there were reports all 4 arrests however officials that dismissed all those claims so saying that so all of the demonstrations were peaceful now our correspondents it is working in minsk and he sent us this report. Theyre. Going to talk about 45 this is how the protests unfolding now one independent square people have moved from the money went to him in the morning there was a progovernment rally here. But all the people of life now in the square was freed for the sheer amount. Previous protests that happened here right place on guarding the house of the government there only buried a stash of people there even sitting on this committee one of those that came out and as i understand asked people not to sit on the barriers because its dangerous and they could fall and thats about all the people are chanting in the familiar slogans singing the same songs i cant say theres a certain development or change here. This person has been in power for 26 years hes glowing treat with his teeth and doesnt want to let go. When we are against violence were defending our vote were doing this for the future of our country i want my children not to live in a country which has violence where there is no voice and no freedom of speech in which now were changing history blood was build and the people will never forget that thats why i came here i have an obligation to be here its my duty thats what this is a celebration of freedom weve dumped these dictatorship because franco is no longer in charge power has been taken by those who deserve it the people of valor. You still threatening sanctions over the election and the and suing crackdown august discussed what counted terence that might prove to be. It will probably never be another election with mr no question about the people at rady fed up it 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 it 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 as in all the color revolutions of the past 20 years you can see about 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 or or while it will depend on both sides that would be reasonable for a girl to begin doing what he hasnt done for the last 26 years and that has to be given the original score succession some procedures close so what who does or the document political document around himself is addressed corrupt thats not to say that the government is entirely blameless hasnt made mistakes and so on but the idea in the westerlies 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 government. A lot always popular with everybody in the interests of everybody supporters of the government and opposition to the government for everybody to behave in a sense for constitutional flush the lowest cost solution its about might be a reason the solution that everybody can live with. The lebanese president michel aoun is adamant that he will not resign calls for him to go been growing since the devastating chemical explosion that ripped through beirut supporter earlier in the month us with the lebanese cabinet including the pm resigned amid protests and people blaming the tragedy on government incompetence cover efforts are still underway in beirut the disaster has put added strain on a country already in the throes of the crippling economic crisis earlier the International Community played some 300000000. 00 in aid to lebanon blast itself killed 178. 00 injured thousands and made 300000 people hunger. Meanwhile the United States says that its own pledge of Financial Support to lebanon following the port blast will depend on the countrys reforms to tackle corruption and as an artist on a quarter explains american offers of help arent always what they sing. Massive explosions in beirut your yes on rest in its wake and it got to. Lebanon the chaos capital in ruins and leaders across the world have no doubt opened up the foreign aid relief valve as a result countries like germany the u. K. And even the u. S. Have stepped in to help out but when you accept money from washington you need to read the fine print when we see lebanese leaders committed to real change change in word and deed america and its International Partners will respond to systemic reforms a sustained Financial Support of course mr hale forgot to mention that u. S. Sanctions are what many to believe the key cause of lebanons economic woes but there is always someone who remembers. You have seen some countries hypocritically trying to portray themselves as defenders of the lebanese people and expressing sympathy for the lebanese people if they are honest they should remove those sanctions that they recently passed against the lebanese government nation and people and stop this hypocrisy and iran definitely knows how that feels at 1st donald trump said hed be willing to give coronavirus aid to iran if it asked for it than when the country needed a 5 1000000000. 00 loan from the i. M. F. To deal with the pandemic washington protested for some reason even the United Nations called on the u. S. To lift its sanctions against the country only to get a big fat no from pompei oh ive heard people talking about sanctions there know that the world should know there are no sanctions that prevent humanitarian assistance medical supplies pharmaceuticals from going to iran and war torn syria its a similar story washington announced a nearly 1000000000. 00 increase in 2020 humanitarian assistance at the very same time that it was creating a brand new sanctions regime against the country we are maintaining our maximum political and economic pressure to suspend the imposition of the sanctions the government of syria must meet similar conditions to go. For a country in crisis its not really difficult to get humanitarian aid from washington what they usually have to give in return however might not be that worth it. The child sex abuse trial has got underway in germany in a case that has lifted the lid on a large paedophile ring the main suspect is accused of abusing his baby daughter filming his crimes and then sharing the videos with a network of tens of thousands he took over reports. Last or someplace will call to investigate allegations of sexual abuse against a child at a home near to cologne that resulted in a discovery of terabytes of images and videos of sexual abuse of 43 year old man is on trial. The main suspect named only as a new york worked in the Hotel Industry lived in a typical street in a typical suburb near to cologne hes accused of making and sharing images of abuse online in a network of paid of files that could span tens of thousands neighbors of the accused have been left stunned by the claims. His house is right on my daughters way to school and shes so afraid to go outside we said she should no longer go on supervised when shes outside i often call for hot check that everythings ok that i get this is crazy especially when its your own father when he abuses and sells his children i only hope that they will be punished though judging by our german legislation in recent years the perpetrators will go unpunished while the one who was harmed will be punished thats how it is with us now its all a mess but they should publish the names of these people because that will scare them off the investigation is also had an impact on the place who had to watch and continue to troll through thousands of images and videos of child abuse 3 of the officers involved had to be placed on sick leave due to the impact of the content. I think images and videos find these are always going to leave their mark on those who would use them even experienced investigators the trial in cologne is just the 1st of what may be many related to the home search last october investigators have established as many as 30000. 00 potential identities and pseudonyms of perpetrators later this month a 38 year old mom will appear in court and charged with 291. 00 offenses including serious Sexual Assault and distribution of child pornography all linked to this case in cologne peter all of the in.

Welcome back peoples hopes of life returning back to normal are being dashed across europe as fresh restrictions of quarantine measures are introduced in response to local spikes in covert 19 infections articles from the early joins me live now from london good morning esearch just take us through the latest and the pandemic measures being brought in the. Absolutely we are seeing across a number of countries not least the United Kingdom that fears of a 2nd wave a 2nd rise in the number of corona virus cases but also deaths but that says the u. K. Government has not revised down its own figures removing 1300000. 00 tests made available from official data citing a current double counting that comes as just a few days ago rather government here in the u. K. Downgraded the total deaths figure out by around 5000. 00 leading some to question whether there is actually a real fear of a 2nd wave or whether its just an irrational fear however others of course questioning and say that we should be taking more measures to ensure that there isnt a 2nd wave and those include the recent imposition of the wearing of mosques indoors and shops and places that will have people of the coast spaces similar to measures being taken in italy where in the Face Covering not just in those but in all Public Places is now mandatory having been at the site of one of the night nightclubs also in the city being forced to close their doors for fear of another spike you see its the was the country one of the countries in europe as well that was the 1st to really experience and really high death toll and theyll be wondering whether they will be once more that great and also in spain im a little caught being classified a little bit later islands being classified by germany as a coded risk zone and of course spain relying heavily on tourism from countries like the u. K. Like germany and thats led to quite as strong divided division of opinion from spaniards as to germanys decision to reach that city. Given the bundle it seems to me that the measures theyre taking are a bit drastic tell us by now but we will you never know where youre going to be safe where youre going to get caught by the virus in spain the take serious precautions i think many more than in germany. Now elsewhere in spain in madrid a number of demonstrators gathered against the governments handling of the corona virus demonstrators claiming that the pandemic is either an invention or is being used by governments not just to spain but around the world to pass a number of. As they would sit around a corner law is taking away peoples human rights and Civil Liberties those protesters refusing to comply with rules that states that public spaces mean mosques must be worn elsewhere on the continent in a strong post lockdown peak of over 3000. 00 new kovi cases in 24 hours again leading to measures being taken by french or thor ities with powers and more states being moved into a socalled red zone when it comes to the number of cases and so all of these countries are bringing in these measures many of them revolving around the wearing the facemasks which a number of people have questioned months after the main rights the 1st more devastating rise of coded 19 that finally these countries are green these issues. And bring us the latest on the European Response to the pandemic our correspondent in london a saudi thank you. Facebooks under fire again have to the institute for Strategic Dialogue the i s t a u. K.

Is classifying Holocaust Denial is legitimate political conversation is quite frightening thing touches on the whole caused should be banned from social media for this simple reason that it actively promotes hate it promotes violence against jewish people it should be. Removed from any website that boards to be a website for the people at large facebook is not designed for a very nice type of people it is made for the entire wall to the entire community and is such Mr Zuckerberg has got the duty to protect.
