T. Spoke to one of angela the shankill protesters and heres what he said. We are really fed up with these people thats why we want to change this regime they beat my son when they release him and he came back he was so badly bruised that he couldnt even sit down so how should i work whats more important to me money or much children.

Opponents in the president ial election that led to to final sky whos now in lithuania while she recorded and video addressed to her supporters saying that she is ready to become the National Leader here.

Pull the rally and support all father protesters and dealers continues in the russian capital as well for a 9th day in a row weve been here every day to cover it as you can see behind me well now the largest search now today theyre all largest one was recorded on saturday when this line of protesters extended beyond the block difference people here from all walks of life and to the question of protesters broke a shadow protests. But as you can see so far its all been peaceful. Much public. Being directed against the Security Forces and their harsh response to the unrest you can see the message there in english better russian lives lost or in these latest pictures from Independence Square in the capital Ortiz Constantine pretty bailo is the scene for us now. Theres a crowd of protesters here on Independence Square which is where theyve been gathering every evening there are factory workers who went on strike this morning and medics running outside the Health Ministry which is just off the square so its already become a tradition crowds gathering day after day and like yesterday there are no special forces out here just metal barriers so everythings moving along quite peacefully people are chanting the same slogans against the president resign were sick of you and so on its noticeable that there are fewer people here today than on previous days there is already a sense of tiredness with no change in the situation. The russian authorities are accusing government activists of violent behavior during the unrest this video was released in the past number of hours by the countrys Investigative Committee know it allegedly shows a man forcing a truck driver out of his vehicle at gunpoint according to investigators the protesters seized the vehicle and used that to block a route. Meanwhile the European Union has confirmed its drawing up a sanctions against the russian officials who are suspected of Election Fraud violence against protesters some european lawmakers have challenged mr lucas legitimacy as president while claiming there is a threat of russian interference or teach your correspondent peter all of our picks up the story for us. Well weve heard statements on monday from the number of the e. U. Institutions on the unfolding situation in belarus the European Parliament issued a statement in which they called for calm and for peace on the streets of minsk in other major cities but within that statement there was also a warning for russia we call on the Russian Federation to refrain from any interference covert or overt in belarus following the election and call on the e. U. Institutions and Member States to vigilantly counter any russian actions in this regard the parliament wasnt the only European Institution to be charming in on monday we also heard from the high representative for Foreign Affairs your state bar l. Pretty much the e. U. s foreign minister he said that the protests that weve seen over the weekend particularly that huge one in minsk that the sheer numbers clearly show that the belorussian people want a change but he also announced that the e. U. Is currently drawing up a list of people that would be the target of e. U. Sanctions the e. U. Is working on a new listings for sanctions against those responsible for violence repression of peaceful protests and the fortification of Election Results so while the Parliament Says that russia must keep out of bellary says the e. U. Drawing up sanctions against russian officials hardly shows that they are willing to keep out of belarus themselves in fact senior figures Senior Leaders of Member States have been chime in saying that the e. U. Should get involved more should interfere more particularly money will not go on the french president now when it comes to how this is developing on monday the German Government confident that they have been holding talks with svetlana taken off. The Spokes Person for the German Government confirmed that the talks had taken place but he wouldnt be drawn on what exactly had been discussed. Has taken off sky of course is selfimposed isolation in lithuania another e. U. Member states and has expressed a want to be installed as interim leader valorise until fresh elections can take place but all of this coming from the e. U. Site doesnt really fit with that statement from the European Parliament but ultimately the message coming from brussels coming from the e. U. In general seems to be russia you dont get involved in valorise but we certainly going to involve ourselves as much as we can. Political know to minsk where we can speak to you know to slow of romantic a bell russian economist live on the program good to see you jaroslav Mr Lukashenko was offering a new election but only if the constitution is amended through a referendum he said not just the number of hours ago do you think his opponents are going to take up proposal seriously thats coming. In he said now that 2 years ago the process negotiations this. Commission this is the better part of. A new g. And the gender of the people all the political opposition and workers for the 1st time while it was united the agenda is pretty well in the league they want jurors must be. Sentenced and. d Political Prisoners must be great but look i shant go what he offered this constitution thats like with any draft law or read all lead with bureaucracy and he is a master of bureaucracy still but by the russian opposition is not likely to accept Something Else of note just to get your take on the present because shaker started he offered to do a full recount of the Election Results on the opposition refused saying that they want a new election if he really did make such an offer why do you think they turned it down. I think that some of the ballot box and ballot papers were burned you know that the way. d we call it old political performance president ial election in iran is that we have well over 41 percent of early voting d weve had the only voting but always the dominant live because there was no observation election commissions weigh in favor look at right now they can do any number of but lead papers you want with all that saying oh well this signature and i will put larsen a political opposition didnt have any influence on how the process was arranged so look at it and go it would be very easy for him to demonstrate 80 percent of the vote that Central Asian commission gave him but that these are like phony numbers and nobody believes that with the only going strikes the rest in your country how serious could all this before the economy have valorous on peoples livelihoods their. Well major state enterprises joined this try they came out with a political edge and theyre of a question i must leave and stall talk during the balance you has in the city and thats very clear and i think that even on the motorway you are what whether your liberal socialist green black whatever this is so this is the most common denominator and look at shankar still our protect the minister of internal affairs he still does not recognize the atrocities and torture that happened in the country so either hes out of touch with the reality or he realizes that he only pillar of support hes he gets right now for structures and its very vulnerable can i just get your thoughts on the reaction of the European Union is drawing up sanctions against russian officials. Is that of an appropriate course of action could it look like foreign interference right when brussels is in fact urging russia here not to interfere in belarus. Well with all these deep political sanctions that we had before well more like psychological political and against individuals who violated or was instrumental in cochairing but there was hands during this. Post election period i dont believe that you cannot make sanctions in the major by the russian commodities like what allies there are oil products metals would came into force so i think that the crumbly doms also doesnt know what to do because they d are joining gun supporting him right now means that the kremlin would be against like my dream one percent of the most hands which is not the best strategy if you want to have good relations with there with the country with your neighbor if you want to grab some Strategic Alliance and common values with your neighbor within the United States or within your rate your Asian Economic Union it just will not point you know that there are plenty of rumors swirling around us to want to love him or putin might do as regards belarus weve seen lots of media reports claiming hes offered to quash the own risto though never actually said that your thoughts on just the general atmosphere run this. Well i think that we had many rumors that the russians could not be ballerinas years being such groups and and torturers and people couldnt even believe that thats possible so there were rumors that some russians are gave me the 2 grants to should be home on a somewhat special forces how the way did not look even but i think that because of the russians had been ignoring politics and the country was d being run over 20 years so they came as a revelation to them that because this kind of authoritarian state then does not hesitate to cross even the most sensitive threshold and he has done it you cant cross this threshold and right now i think that russia. Would be the best way is just to let the regime negotiate with the people on the round table with all our stakeholders involved both all our neighbors one of the all d parties prevailed and then there will always be automatic accuse ations of all the others that were not invited president lukashenko has accused foreign powers including a you countries of the protests in his country do you find his claim convincing him anyway. I do not know of any evidence that such protests wearing some call august traded to party and many walk outs and demonstrations we waved the words we supported a child there we shared information and we were outraged when we knew that our friends and colleagues how they werent treated in. Detention centers just imagine these ordinary. Persons engineer businessmen on the currently just. People that walked across this week and went beaten severely into the hall how could they possibly be part of any. Kind of you know who are any any any guinea europeans you know its just. Beyond d common sense when you did you see happen but there was you know in the streets a mans well i dont think that European Unit can afford so many spies and agents in butler ok the views of jaroslav are among chick a belorussian economist and president of a Scientific Research center thank you yourself. Thank you. For no other headline stories today the lebanese president has said he is only able to resign that would cause a power vacuum calls for michelle to go have been growing since the devastating chemical explosion that ripped through beiruts port earlier this month last week the lebanese cabinet including the Prime Minister resigned amid must protests with people blaming the tragedy of government incompetence Recovery Efforts are still ongoing in beirut the disaster has put strain on a country already in the throes of a crippling economic crisis earlier the International Community played some 300000000. 00 in aid to lebanon the blast killed 178. 00 injured thousands and left more than a quarter of a 1000000 people homeless. Another aspect to this story the u. S. Is offering a financial lifeline to lebanon but only if the government agrees to certain reforms expanding more a little quarter. Massive explosions in beirut during this on rest in its wake and the government is. Going to have an on. 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 indeed america and its International Partners will respond to systemic reforms with 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. The for the lebanese people if they are honest they should remove the 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 5000000000. 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 to mandatory assistance medical supplies pharmaceuticals from going to iran and war torn syria its a similar story washington announced a nearly 1000000000 dollar increase in 2020 commanded tarion 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 a rule go for a country in crisis thats not really difficult to get humanitarian aid from washington what they usually have to give in return however might not be that worth it 20 minutes into the program weve got more news coming for you in 90 seconds cutting stay with our 2 international.

The fact that facebook. Is classifying Holocaust Denial is legitimate political conversation is quite frightening thing such as.
