And the other in moscow they both the substance that could be classified as poison had been flown. Dozens of women of west african origin can post side their embassies and consulates in lebanon demanding to be sent back home as their employers in the crisis in the country leave them literally on the street. And im interested because i want to call. Like right now. Only industry. Good morning live from martys world views h. Q. Here in moscow this monday the 24th of august just turned 10 in the morning here now im kevin 0 in with those stories in more detail great to have you company 1st better or says enter the 3rd week than of unrest on sunday tens of thousands of antigovernment protesters marched through the capital minsk they carried red and white flags and chanted slogans against president Alexander Lukashenko demanding his resignation after disputed elections. Now he. Doesnt come under the guts of still after the order to move in the direction of National Flag square the crowd came up close to the barbed wire they were a metre away from the right police and the so far there havent been any provocation but the protests or send the armed forces are very close to one another but of like that despite a heavy military presence there were no arrests in this latest demonstration postell peacefully without incident at least on look thank the offices. Thank you. Using a favor for everybody. To feel. Good about this 4 simple life. Were close up so for now the country remains split between the pro and Anti Government supporters ahead of sundays rally the government advice supporters to stay home to avoid provocations lets go through a timeline of events next this morning with a correspondent a ghost town of. People behind me on the Independence Square of the belorussian capital minsk they have been chanting slogans like leave calling on the president of belarus Alexander Lukashenko to go and long live belarus right now theyre clapping and my cameraman is just going to zoom in to show you the scale of the protest right now we have a really good Vantage Point now speaking about the police they have not yet intervened but over there in the distance you can see Police Vehicles and well Police Vehicles and crowds crowd to control machines and they again they are so far standing by they are here they have not intervened well yet we do not know whether or not they will also we do know that the government has called on its supporters to stay home this has been done in order to avoid any potential confrontation and you know brawls between some of the more passionate protesters the protest has spilled from the square and into the streets blocking the traffic and now its just a sea of people yelling chants like long live balor rose and go go leave coolly go on the incumbent president of this republic Alexander Lukashenko to leave office because they do not recognize the protesters here they do not recognize the results of the election we will like to with the Election Results i did. Not vote but the opinions of my friends were not taken into account the person who is declared president is not the one who has been elected in one fairly actions Political Prisoners to be released and in the end to violence our country has never seen anything like what is happening now right now you can see that behind me this towering structure and the museum behind it are being guarded by the Security Forces they are not letting people come close but they arent trying to the road between the Security Forces and the protesters has become sort of an improvised border very very large telegram channels with lots of followers are being used to coordinate these protests because the its not like people its not it hasnt been spontaneous it has been organized it has been coordinated through internet for instance. The reason why protesters arent trying to storm the structure is because this channel has called on people not to do that and not to approach the museum thats behind those behind the structure on the on the small hill so soon they will be moving to another and we believe that the final location of todays protest and so far because so far judging by what i have seen of these people these protesters they have been following every direction given by the coordinators showing corralled by helicopter the president ial palace in the capital surrounded by protesters he was shown wearing a flak jacket and carry a kalashnikov rifle. Next looks at the swirl of false reports claim he fled the country. It is difficult for human beings to be neutral just the way it is biology our psychology makes us want to pick a side to root for someone even if it isnt off fight so it is in belarus a huge divide neighbor against neighbor rather against brother journalist against journalist there are a suit of t. V. Personalities of Great National networks and improve thats the gets the president against the elections against the other side i have decided that my broadcast today on belarus one was the last one nobody influenced this decision i took it myself there are not man no vice but we exist. Vera correct me cover hoost of good morning belarus sergey because low which presenter to tiana brought kidda hanka and vladimir bercow who snuck in and try to claim the credit. Until recently i presented the us to military programme in paris one im no longer a presenter of this t. V. Project i resigned myself and it wasnt easy the people want justice the people dont want lies the people want freedom so you may have come away with a sense that he resigned over the elections like like others who sacrificed their livelihoods their income as an act of protest vladimir didnt know no thats just him trying to claim the credit but it is absolutely unclear from the message when the present to of the program in my opinion this was done on purpose the t. V. Company said goodbye to the dimmer a month ago the loaders the showman successfully got in on the act bottom feeders are nothing new they swamp everything in times of hardship of desperation youll find them on television trying to wiggle their way into the spotlight when things are tough to play and profit in peoples misery youll find them on live and blogs in social media shouting the loudest pointing and screaming lying and misleading we live in an era of fakes think heroes fake opinions and think news she walked around spread mens legs and purposefully sadistically struck at their group she would heated their testicles and called them scum one man who looked about 50 she beat in the group and while standing on his legs he later told me his hips were all blue kareena about 30 is blonde and not that 2 she was dressed in uniform and had a mask on her face remember what i said about tape. King sides you likely arent from belarus yet hearing this story one cant help but feel revolted and many belorussians were hearing this the the witch hunt began soon they found this alleged corrina all christina and people went after her threatening to kill her to murder her family a reward was posted for her address they got the wrong woman. Has been forced to record this because of harris meant threats and insults towards me and my family as a result of false information on the internet please help me share this so that lies dont spread further and done to her me and my family. Christina is a gym instructor at the interior ministry not a guard at the jail where the alleged torture happened oh they apologized afterwards after terrifying and traumatizing and threatening to kill her and her family they said sorry they said sorry and then posted another picture of another christina who might have been the woman from the story and went after and lets not forget about the bear thats coming for better us for a while now Internet Users have been sharing videos of military convoys allegedly russian that are moving towards bellerose there are 2 plausible explanations why they still havent arrived Russian Military trucks are just really slow like incredibly slow like walking speed you could walk from moscow to better us in about a week the other explanation is that there arent any russian armies moving towards belarus. They recorded these videos without realizing that they were below Russian Armored personnel carriers not russian and that they were moving towards the western border because we decided that we needed to take additional measures to protect the sovereignty and independence we could go on and on thinks about preparing to free the country thinks about the opposition leaders i. Q. Been very low fakes stupidity reinforced with hysteria and decorated with the. Correspondent the e. U. Foreign policy chief meantime comparing the situation by their roosts to venezuela. We do not recognize him as the legitimate president nor do we recognize Nicolas Maduro from this point of view and look as shanker in exactly the same situation we do not recognize that they have been legitimately chosen however whether we like it or not they control the government and we have to continue dealing with them despite not recognizing their democratic which is missing this one a cynical to hear from you know people you know because we know what the position of the European Union it is or what it cost a regime. That is hong kong. Or there also is in the past in ukraine. Lately in serbia so all listen to all this have to listen to not just a picture of seoul but if the whole bag of salt and on the stand. Below is one of maybe 2 last europe which is not taking. It from the west from nato from the us dollar from the european a b. And the union and the country is functioning of much better than most of the. Globe which it would fall of the. European union or of the west. Josee of borel also said europe cant allow belarus to quote turn into a 2nd ukraine and that means does not have to choose between europe and russia Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov also want to get a repeat of the 2014 ukraine. We will support any decision that the belorussian government takes to promote dialogue with its people but when western countries say that mediation can only be effective with their presence of course we all remember what happened in ukraine where negotiations with our partners failed that is why the belorussian people will decide for themselves how they want to emerge from this situation i think the clear signs of normalization that we are seeing are very important but i know that not everyone likes what is happening there are those who want to shift the current flow of events and better use which is normal and peaceful to a path of violence to provoke bloodshed and create another ukraine scenario. If you or any are declaring that she wanted to take care of her children but evidently she wasnt allowed to settle that so she started making political statements quite harsh ones demanding more strikes and protests its significant that shes making more and more statements not in russian or belorussian but in english her target audience is in the west and its possible they dont insist on this the whole goal is to ensure that they dont calm down but keep stirring up the situation some by the russian opposition figures who live in the west and are trying to influence the events in their country from abroad want everything to be different they want blood they want to provoke the belorussian Security Forces who are not touching anyone right now and not intervening against peaceful demonstrators we think this is criminal. Doctors say Mainstream Media claims for the top russian opposition figure was poisoned a false medical staff at the central russia hospital which treated him there were no traces of a toxic agent election of all these blood politicians currently in a coma. Actually it would have been easier for us to choose a treatment strategy for we had known for a fact that we were dealing with poisoning but it took a while and by 12 oclock would receive results from 2 labs one in tomsk and the other in moscow they both said that no substance that could be classified as poison had been found it was important for us to remove the poisoning theory so we could do a better job treating mr novell name of arnies pain receiving treatment in berlin since saturday though german medics are still not made any comment on the possible diagnosis arties peter oliver joins us outside the medical facility facility where the activists is being treated them. Well actually the volley arrived here in berlin on saturday after taking ill all my flights on thursday going from siberia to moscow the plane had to make an Emergency Landing in almost we just heard from the medical team there all we know so far about this and of on his condition is that hes in a serious but stable condition at the moment in an induced coma. Medical professionals are conducting have been conducting tests and continuing to treat him now his press secretary and other supporters have claimed that he was poisoned we just heard from the medical team saying that they didnt understand that to be the case what we have heard as well from medics in is that theres only so much information that they are allowed to give about alexina family this is the law concerning. Medical information theyre allowed to give out about anybody that theyre treating. A lot of famous journalists and even doctors were commenting on the situation without having any information they were asking why were not disclosing details about the diagnosis treatments and test results but all these people must know that russian law doesnt allow us to do that we were restricted by the federal law on confidential information. While there are plenty of theories as to what happened to alexina family some even suggesting it could be down to diet we are hoping to hear more solid information from doctors here to take hospital in berlin were expecting a press conference from them later on monday the lack of solid evidence though hasnt stopped some in the media from pointing the finger of blame directly at the kremlin and claiming that russian authorities were behind this poisoning so. Just a lot of chilling. Particularly likes you dont need a security clearance to know that the kremlin has a track record of poisoning its critics alikes in the valley is here in germany as a guest of chancellor Angela Merkel he was transported from the airport to the house. In central and German Military ambulances when i spoke to police on sunday just outside of the hospital they confirm that there is a larger presence here and that they have as they put its enough personnel on the scene to secure the area of the hospital and which Alexei Navalny is being treats is ill be keeping an eye on everything here in berlin throughout the day and bring you any updates here on our take.
