U. Leaders planning to meet Via Video Conference on a wednesday and meanwhile no matter the resolution its clear that the European Union one says the no rushes in the internal situation in belarus Eastern Europe a specialist ben arison believes the crisis is a major concern for both russia and the e. U. A few days ago a look at. The kremlin and said that he was going to ask whos in but supports the suggestion was that the percent was reaching out d to the russians or d in a significant force the riot police beer troops in order to quell the protests by brute force and its raised the question will russia invades. That russia where theres been a lot of speculation 92 of the people to follow the situation closely and that idea has been pretty written off putins unlike stu that the veteran population has actually warm image of russia and see them as friends and they fought so hard to oust look the shanker that if putin came in and crushed the. Demonstrations by force and kept the percent go in office by force then the entire population with then suddenly turn against russia and putin and then youd end up with another ukraine situation which the kremlin doesnt want so because of these. Macron and merkel d reaching out the has been very aggressive they said theyve warned russia that there should be no overt or covert interference in the domestic policies under the threat of facing new renewed extremely quote unquote heavy sanctions if its seen to do that but i think it is going to come back with exactly the same argument in fact and he did say explicitly to merkel this morning in that telephone that there should be no western interference in the domestic politics of. More of the e. U. All this talk of values and and said ideals will not actually do much to help but to russia in the short term even if that ever she did ask for help that the programs that been rolled out a matter of a few 1000000000. 00 a year they come with a lot of strings and theyre implemented very slowly. In. But a russian in order to help in this time of need and strictly economy hope it crisis everything on to the beach at that is russia which will come in rapidly help with money with investments lots of russian businessmen would love to expand their businesses there and do so very quickly and have some World Class Companies as well. Meanwhile the German Government has confirmed that its been in talks with of the leader of the belorussian opposition. To come off sky or floated to lithuania soon after the election partys Daniel Hawkins takes a closer look at those main challenger. But the roof is at boiling point the streets and squares are main packed with thousands of voices of discontent its people determined to be heard they feel the president just isnt listening they dont want a new leader a symbol to unite them at a time of crisis. Has become this symbol yet im not a politician my husband surrogate economically wanted to become the president of valorous hes now in prison for that almost unknown at the end of maine the humble english teacher and interpreter to lead a quiet life until her husband is said again to cut off ski a popular blogger president ial candidate was disqualified from the president ial race and thrown in jail in an act of protest she took up the opposition husbands name and announced she would stand she said herself that she didnt want power at one point telling supporters shes more comfortable frying cutlets in her role as stay at home mom youre just as good as i want to become president in order to restore justice in this country my Campaign Program one be familiar to everyone the main point is new honest and fair election. Took an oscar was just a woman with a grudge like many he couldnt predict the crowds would turn her into a symbol misconceived our constitution is not for women our society is not mature enough to vote for a woman but as things got heated it seemed but was ready perhaps not specifically for ticking off but for change yet despite condemning the results as false protests gaining traction she fled the country putting our family 1st. I have probably remained a soft woman though i originally was i know that many will understand me many will condemn me and many will hate me but know this god forbid that you faced a choice that i had to face. Children are the most important thing that we have in life yet for some in the west she really is one step away from the presidency with the German Government already confirming its held talks with the exiled opposition figure now shes no long with the english teacher mother or weak woman as she described herself days later she claims shes ready to step up to the plate as head over transitional government. I am prepared to act as a national leader. Others could have been in her shoes but as opposition figures fell out of the picture taken off her was left as the last woman standing the accidental candidate with her latest announcement shes upped the ante time will tell whether she can meet the expectations of those that want her to lead that change. The u. S. Senate Intelligence Committee has released the final part of a report on the alleged russian meddling in the 2016 election the document accuses Vladimir Putin of orchestrating the hack of a Democratic Party servers a claim the russian government has repeatedly dismissed arties give them up and take us through the latest findings. It is the 5th and final installment from the senate Intelligence Committee regarding allegations of russia and trump and the 2016 elections now the report is over a 1000 pages long it takes us to quite extravagant places from the Ritz Carlton Hotel to the Miss Universe pageant and the ultimate conclusion of the report the long awaited conclusion is that russian president Vladimir Putin himself werder the hacking of the Democratic National committee server take a listen the Committee Found that russian president Vladimir Putin ordered the russian effort to hack competes networks and accounts affiliated with the Democratic Party and leak information damaging to Hillary Clinton and her campaign for president do they offer any proof well no they just simply state they have high confidence this is an Intelligence Community assertion that the russian government is responsible and that lattimer putin himself ordered the hacking of the d. N. C. And phrases like high confidence show up throughout the report for example the phrase likely is used 139 times furthermore the phrase almost certain shows up 23 times and the phrase seems shows up 39 times however despite all this high confidence and almost certainty the Russian Security services are blamed for the hacking of the d. N. C. Server take a listen to this passage from the report beginning in march 26th seen offices of the russian Main Intelligence Directorate the g o u successfully hacked competes networks belonging to the Democratic National committee and the Democratic CongressionalCampaign Committee and the email accounts of Clinton Campaign officials and employees including Campaign Chairman john podesta the report claims that Russian Security services in gauged in spirit fishing and this gave them. Access to the d n c server now at this point the main piece of evidence that they put forward to back up this claim is testimony from the tech firm known as crowd strike crowd strike youll recall was hired by d. N. C. Lawyers to look into the matter now crowd strike has come under a lot of scrutiny crowd strikes president ex f. B. I. Official shawn henry testified that they saw a quote activity that we believed was consistent with activity wed seen previously and had associated with the russian government in the same testimony and we also testified that crowd strike never had any evidence the data was actually exfiltrate it i. E. Stolen from the d. N. C. Servers but regardless and not surprisingly we see wiki leaks also thrown into the report wiki leaks activity sort on played a key role in the Russian Campaign and very likely knew it was assisting the russian intelligence influence efforts from jill in a sanches long denied these allegations and said he is simply not a russian operative however the allegations persist Many Americans looking at this report as well as many people around the world have got to be asking themselves how much longer is this russia gate story going to keep going is this final installment really the last report or will they find a way to get it back into the news once again right or charles or tell gave us his reaction to the intelligence report. Whether one or another country may be interfering in our elections i think people are tired of that frankly and tired of the endless investigation of the same issue 20 only to rush i have seen so far little evidence if not no evidence that that happened and on the balance of probabilities again when i say the way from looking to the 16th Hillary Clinton ran an atrocious campaign thats why she lost youve got to look at 16 and understand that Hillary Clinton went out of her way to offend a large percentage of the voting population she did not campaign effectively states she looks very ill on september 11th 2016 she was operating with her husband a corrupt foundation has been since 997 where hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars have gone missing their similar questions of all the joe biden and his family those are the big issues that are going to animate voters in this country. On to a developing story now mollys president has appeared on state television to announce his resignation after being detained on tuesday during a military revolt abraham bowl hard. For him boubacar said that the decision to leave power would avoid bloodshed in the country at tuesdays mutiny began with a shoot out at the conti military camp close to the capital a group of soldiers detained there Senior Officers before marching on by michael and storming the president s residence the uprising was swiftly condemned by the African Union the e. U. And the head of the union the u. N. The apparent coup follows several months of civil unrest in mali with the opposition demanding the president s resignation over corruption allegations. Historian gerald horne believes the latest uprising in mali is part of a chain of events going back to the western intervention in libya. This unfortunate turn of events in mali which has been criticized by the af. Can union headquartered in Addis Ababa Ethiopia the pet african body not unlike for example the European Union this coup attempt was basically a result of the 2011 tragic overthrow and murder of more market off the libya engineer by the United States of america and its nato allies particularly britain and france that and murder of gadhafi led to leakage of tons of weapons into neighboring mali which got into the hands of religious zealots who call themselves muslims who since that time have been waging a brutal and bitter war against the soldiers in mali of whom have been killed as a result this in turn has led to a French Military intervention backed by the United States of america its also helped to generate unrest and instability and i said also ette that these religious zealots who are waging this war in mali are back at least one officially but many gulf arab states who are quite friendly to washington and i should also say that the events in mali or a direct outgrowth of the cold war d in so far as a founding father of independent mali decades ago motorboat kate was deposed in a coup sponsored by france because he was considered to be a socialist and a pan african is and that in turn helped to create this it is a logical vacuum that now is being filled by these religious zealots who despite this might be on the verge of seizing power and bomb a ko which could have a negative knock on effects not least in cote divoire in guinea perhaps northern uganda. Governments across europe are bracing for a 2nd 1000 wave and are again rolling out unpopular restrictions the public is growing increasingly fed up as arties peter oliver reports. Tries to tip toe back to normality 2nd wave of covert 19 seems set to derail those hopes here in germany daily infections passed a 3 month peak last week the Health Minister in the country says this is partly due to soma in general people coming back from holidays people attending parties and other celebrations nose to spite of it and its very difficult to make people stick to the rules after theyve had 2 or 3 beers at a party such events make it especially easy for the virus to spread so maybe we should stick to smaller family gatherings for a while longer germany has labeled most destinations in spain including the extremely popular destination of the yorker as high risk it another blow to the already stricken spanish Tourism Industry but i think i mean i think the measures theyre taking are a bit drastic we thought we had good prospects for september but now with travel companies sending people home its getting very difficult its good to be cautious but the situation here looks fine to me and now with no customers i dont know how long we can hold on you know back to them on pain has taken tough measures against condit 19 social distance in masks as you can see we dont have outbreaks but the virus is everywhere you never know where you will be safe and where you can catch it let people travel because here we depend on tourism and if we dont have to or is it will sink neighboring france has also being breaking records for all the wrong reasons marking up post lockdown high of over 3000. 00 cases doesnt seem metropolises like paris and mall say expand outdoor areas with face coverings a mandatory while work spaces are also set to become mosque only zones so. It is a good idea but it wont be easy to make people respect the rules especially at work because they will have to spend the whole day there with a mosque on vision. I wear a mask it work every day and i think its normal so for me nothing will change you know more person is a surge of cases in france and all the other countries so i know its necessary to wear a mask i wear one every day at work a spike in cases among young people has seen the Italian Government step in to shut down discos and night clubs theyll also be a reintroduction on rules insisting that face coverings be worn in outdoor public spaces at night its a pity that we did not see this government response before in my opinion everything should have been closed. The i sympathize with those who own nightclubs its not easy finding the balance between the interests of entrepreneurs and Public Health what will prevent going to be honest i dont think the club should have been reopened it all should have remained closed because the clubs are not essential and closing them prevented new cases both the number of cases in europe rises so does anger over covert prevention measures to the i. Was. I. No one wants to see a return to full lock down and that places those in power in the on enviable position of having to try balance freedom with fighting cope with it as we try to work out which restrictions we want to be imposed and where the virus is determined to reimpose itself across the whole of europe these are all over our bill in. The state of emergency in the lebanese capital has been extended for another month beirut is still reeling from the devastating explosion that tore through the city on august 4th 180 people were killed in the tragic.

And i say why ancestors lived here 200 years ago and has been in the family ever since i lived up stairs and when the explosion happened i was sitting here with my wife and daughter and 2 grandchildren i was reading a newspaper. My. Love the stories were made of marble they dont make them like that anymore artistry went into the building now everything is computerized and heartless but even the small things inherited from my friend grandparents one attend down to my children. Plus how did that lets out it ive never seen anything like the ford explosion we have witnessed warts and lots of people nothing like this. And that they if they finish their investigation in a restaurant they wont build my home or bring back our history it is the politicians who should be held responsible for what happens. When i believe in this country and i will not build it again we have national unity. That does it for me this hour will be back in about 34 minutes with another full and fresh look at your news this is our. An entire village in alaska.
