Dozens were reportedly arrested at the protest. Demonstrators held banners and chanted slogans that Maria Kolesnikov is their hero police trying to disperse the protesters are not failed they started to make arrests our Senior Correspondent mara goddamn is in minsk and breaks down the developments. To compromise here there is very little give in either side president if you can seemingly determined to hold on to power to preserve the state and the system that he has built over the many long years of his rule the protesters undaunted seemingly by the increasingly heavy hand of the lord as an example this is a spontaneous protest last 10 minutes away from us we set out to meet it he by the time we got that there wasnt a side that there had been just minutes before a violent confrontation so id mock that and scary big bloody intimidating men in a mux uniforms without any visible identification fullface mosques. They seized and tied up everyone that looks suspicious and it was over in media minutes it seems that the better russian government recognizing the futility of trying to end these protests is now trying to contain them trying to restrict them to the weekends and that is when we will undoubtedly see tens of thousands of people marching down the streets of means against president. The the fact that a prominent opposition member maria classical has been arrested will undoubtedly breathe fresh life into these protests because shes a member of the opposition the Coordination Council which is of varying time stated different goals from securing a transition of power to merely organizing new elections fresh elections and shes facing very serious charges of. Trying to undo fully seize power which has a penalty of 3 to 5 years in jail Maria Kolesnikov his father spoke to r. T. And described the circumstances of her rest to us in the proposal i reported to police my daughters disappearance because there was already a video on the internet and they were to witness that unknown people pushed marie into a van and to clear away nice almost all the words on the internet i had been saying to him maybe youd better leave bill a verse she always replies to me that she would stay until the bitter end and i didnt mind because i know her character and her responsibility according to the official version of events the belorussian governments version a slew of opposition figures and members of the Coordination Council if there are violations suddenly decided to leave the country if you ask the opposition and their allies they give a completely different account they describe pressure psychological and even physical pressure so opposition figures being grabbed by the arm put into caused by Security Services driven to the border with ukraine or poland and told to scrap and told to leave the country and many of them have done so one has been arrested at this point there is only one problem an opposition figure member of the Coordination Council that is still free that hasnt fled the country or being arrested and not this Straight Line a alex save its famous bell a russian author winner of a new bell prize that she has stabbed her apartment in new dated with foreign diplomats and Embassy Workers who have out of solidarity gathered there to sort of form a human shield around head to try to d discourage president lukashenko from making any moves or trying to arrest her or force out and president. She mainly. Encouraged is feeling more confident that these protests havent become captive cataclysmic havent. Grows out of control the stills something he can manage and they just dragging on at this point which is perhaps why hes to send now to strike at the Coordination Council the investigation has brought proof that some people from the socalled Coordination Council have committed actions aimed at destabilizing the situation in better roost and harming National Security Maria Kolesnik over has been arrested currently all circumstances in the criminal case of being established the situation here is a spray carious it is very very tense balance on the knife said and unfortunately with neither side willing to compromise you question who wanted to see the problem protesters god the protesters wanting to see you the shame to god and all it will take really is is a spot a little shove a little push to set this tinderbox alight and if that happens these files will bud haut and the ugly amid protests and violence in the country look at shankar spoke to Russian Media including our t. V. They claim that now is not the time to quit as he needs to protect the country while the most newsworthy bits of his interview at various times here throughout the day and his words are in full on our website. I mean there are torch in all of this is very painful and even tragic for me but it doesnt mean that im giving up because i look at this philosophically some day god will cool me up the but now i must protect what has been built with our homes protect the people who have built it and they are an overwhelming majority. The stakes have risen in the diplomatic route over the Mysterious Illness of alex and not only with germany handing test results on the russian politician to the International Chemical weapons watchdog all the while demanding that russia probe what it calls his poisoning moscow in turn says it has no idea what kind of data berlin has as it wont share it hence no investigation is possible for the time being now to discuss berlin the latest moves and moscows reaction were joined in the studio by our tears dollar quarter is all this wrangling bring us closer to the truth of what actually happened well jacki it doesnt really seem so so far the exchange hasnt hasnt really amounted to much more than a political back and forth between germany and russia berlin saying that they have evidence that involve me was poisoned moscow asking to see it and germany really just ignoring its requests at the same time the German Authorities are demanding answers from moscow regarding this alleged poisoning even though the authorities there dont actually have any evidence to suggest that the Opposition Leader was poisoned in the 1st place. Theyre a very serious questions now this is only the russian government can on. The hour photo and theyre put to sleep we demand an investigation into the poisoning of alex you know. We hope that we will be able to determine what happened and why were interested in thats we want it and we need the information from germany for that if there was any deal you know we would work with that there is no data there are only statements amounting to megaphone diplomacy. And thats not to mention that the russian authorities have been extensively investigating what happened. Vali fell ill but so far they havent actually found any evidence of a poisoning or that any crime took place whatsoever just to remind our viewers aleksei of all he was flying from siberia to moscow in mid august when he seriously fell ill the doctors who treated them who treated him there in the siberian city of germany the doctors there all of a sudden said that they did find toxins and in this system specifically no we chalk a nerve agent that was developed in the u. S. S. R. But other than that we dont really know what germany plans to do with with this information other than handed over to the o. P. C. W. In the kremlin has already said that its not really happy about that. You say. It looks like it. But its not my own experience of the. Kinds of clinics in most its not the case because hope but wonder why germany is having trouble sharing the information with us we have no idea what the 100 over to the w and would much rather they had to do the covert or us. Now the o. P. C. W. s words doesnt really hold much weight in moscow thats because the organizations handling of the 2018 legit chemical attack in duma syria left a number of inconsistency is unaddressed and according to a number of whistleblowers that came out to speak about the process that they said that the opposition from within the organization was basically silenced russias representatives to the o. P. C. W. Called it actually extreme politicization at the time. The p. C. W. Is in deep crisis what with the. Activities and the extreme politicization and this didnt take place just today it started a long time ago the practice of reaching consensus decisions has been completely forgotten and the o. P. C. W. Has yet to receive this alleged evidence from berlin but of course as that becomes available in the story develops will bring our viewers the latest. Arties dont quarterbacking on that story for us thank you. The french president being bashed for removing his face mask at a meeting with students just as the country outlaws not wearing one and public to make things worse he then rather unfortunately started to cough causing more than a few panicked faces. The president coughs outside of his mosque and stretches out his hand to take and return a glass of water straight after no jail no handwashing what can we hope for macro him cant stand the fabric masks which is sparingly distributed to teaches however he only spoke for 5 minutes with his what are teachers have to say who are forced to speak with one sometimes for 8 hours per day that the president is laughing at the world what are we expecting that the video to be broadcasted schools will be saying that should not be done. But just as france and the world braced for a 2nd wave of the pend masked skeptics are rowing artist arwa damons he reports on the political headache of the rising and time masked movement. Masks so just look around on the streets of paris everywhere people are following the rules but what if youre one of those people who has questioned the whole idea of wearing a mask all they effective do they prevent the transmission of 19 and what if youre one of those people who doesnt just question this in private but has actually gone to a protest a party that has attack on germanys democracy protesters from a demo against the countrys coronavirus restrictions tried to storm the german parliament. This is how the mainstream media. And she locked down protesters has spent the afternoon terrorizing police it will be made of people. People who think the coronavirus does not exist hundreds of vaccine activists and conspiracy theorists put their faith in science instead of conspiracy theories if they want to avoid getting covert one team thats being backed up it seems fine a study conducted via facebook carried out by those who enjoy his foundation it found that the typical anti mascot here in france is a woman in her fifties shes educated and supports the yellow vests shed refused to have a corona virus vaccine if it was available and she believes in conspiracy theories probably has been the most politicized. In the may control and i think its because it has a different meaning and between the politicians and the scientific i learned d a lot of confused. Among the general public but when it comes to mosques dig a bit deeper and you find that 3 of the 4 main reasons that respondents gave to objecting to wearing them were not perhaps and totally unreasonable. They were mosques was breathing difficulties well while of course you can breathe while wearing a mask some people have complained that when its hot out all theyve stepped up the pace wearing a mask isnt the most comfortable experiences to they are a hive of bacteria well yes there is bacteria all around us and thats why its recommended to wash masks regularly or change them 3 they are useless in preventing 19 contamination. Is perhaps to live on this one i say that as there is still no consensus that a governmental level here in europe as to whether 6 or not race mosques are an essential to in combat in the spread of 19 so while in france and germany for example why do you sit your face masks has been recommended or made of like a tree in the netherlands that was short trial of mask wearing in busy cities was carried out since ended all the dutch study their effect if this sweeping of course went totally against the grain of the countrys top epidemiologist threw his weight behind the new mask policy saying this is very dangerous to believe facemasks would change the game when it comes to. Even the w h which made a u. Turn and is now recommending face masks says this we still dont know how much protective value fabric must have for the wearer thats why when you wear a mask youre protecting others and when others where the master. Acting you were still in the midst of the pandemic and the process for months the medical and the scientific advice has been a constant merry go round so why is it so unreasonable that some People Choose to question more i think because of the conflicting statements from politician and from the what Health Organization as well as from the Scientific Community to quite a bit of confusion and uncertainty is in the general public and that led to some not only distrust but also a bit of flaring up in the journal. And that has i think probably primarily contributed into a more aggressive d to be a view toward the face covering. Still ahead britains Prime Minister reveals strict anti covert measures as doctors and politicians accuse him of mishandling the response story and more after this. One else seems wrong. Why dont we all just dont. Feel all you have to seep out just to become educated and in detroit equals betrayed. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. The a lot of misinformation amongst these traitors is robin hood traitors they thought they were getting free sharer somehow and its really fascinating to see really learning curve amongst teenagers and 20 somethings about how stock markets work and you know experience is a great teacher and that usually means losing a lot of money but thats also a very good teacher. Welcome back theres a major scene change coming to the oscars after years of criticism over a lack of diversity any film hoping to bag the best picture gong from 2025 will have to meet inclusion standards one of the main characters or a significant supporting character must be a person of color at least 30 percent of the whole cow should be from and under represented group at least 2 off screen leadership positions and 30 percent of crew jobs must also go to underrepresented people asked to be similar representation in the films publicity marketing and distribution teams too but the new rules are popular with all actors. The change comes after claims that the ceremonies are overwhelmingly White Movement against that have been growing for years now voting group had also invited more than 800. 00 new actors and directors in the push for diversity 45 percent of the new invitees were women and 35 percent representatives of racial minorities who put the new device diversity rules up for debate. You take a look around the world and you realize that a for the most part well what african American People terms what women lead minority needs are not given awards at the same rate and that only 15 people of color have received Academy Awards only 9 people hispanic people have received can their wives realize that there is just a cultural bias that exists and so in order to correct that we have to come in and address the issue of what the represent function is and so even if we have to mandate films numbers its just whats necessary if you go through history a lot of things that have been under represented. Certainly people of ages shirt people of different looks in weeks for you to mandate whether its selfimposed or my legislation but a mandate a sure require me a certain number of people based upon demographics is sheer. Lunacy and in the industry that is right now. We know for a fact that the grammys im sorry the oscars and other you know cultural organizations have consistently shown year in year out that they do not have the knack for being inclusive in 2020 were deciding that we want to get a little crazy and were going to follow the path looking into how we can include more people who have typically read on the outside thats not a negative in government if im not as nonprofits that is not for me to wrangle in equality and how can work. That is not the role of hollywood let me explain something to you if there is a good role with good especially today irrespective of Sexual Identity key shouldnt whether its color if its good its going to work this is not title 19 this is an education this isnt you kid forced affirmative action i guess unless you want to unless you want to just say no lets see what can i ruin now does adding one hour is adding my a person from a marginalized community right got to take away something from the creation of the film peoples films unlike a lot of creation and not just the concept of one person might be alone on where we go to feed the world around us when were marching in the future where we looking at the past and can you imagine if i would say you know what i think we need to have more of a representation so im going to force a bunch of people by virtue of their color into the n. B. A. Or or or here or hip hop because i want to see more of a balance oh theres no guarantee of equality in music thats the way it is so if its good its good and if its good itll sell it and were. Picking up on a story we brought you on wednesday shocking pictures of orange clouds from some of the worst ever wildfires on the west coast of the u. S. 6 people including 2 children were reportedly killed on wednesday when than 2000000 acres have been destroyed and the blazes. And fire tragedy across the atlantic a blaze has torn through europes largest refugee camp on the greek island of less bus but it shows the destruction of the previously overcrowded facility that has left nearly 13000. 00 people without shelter migrants now have nowhere to go and are forced to live on the streets. The rise in covert cases among young people in britain is causing special concern sparking strict new measures Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he had no choice im sorry about that and i wish that we did norton have to take this step but as your Prime Minister i must do what is necessary to stop the spread of the virus and to save lives a key measure is banning gatherings of more than 6 people including indoors will breakers will be fined coded secure events and large households are exceptions as well as work in education settings things that got so bad that brits now even worry if the restrictions will be lifted in time for christmas media are calling the measures draconian adding they could destroy Holiday Plans it all comes with the country already reeling from failures and the governments response ask a partridge reports. Its all about sharp rise in coronavirus cases the governments chief medical advisor chris witty he was also on there with the Prime Minister as well he said that the cases that come up rapidly over the last few days even and the rates are going up in a certain age group as well its among the young people and that has been stately rising since the middle of august position. He also had a few sharp words to say about the governments the you case test intray system and he said that it was on the verge of collapse what were seeing now is stories over the past few days that is showing that just the regime is on the verge of collapse heartbreaking stories from people who needed to been told no tests are available or the website is crashing or people are being told to go miles and miles for a test nobody can argue that this is Good Governance well this comes in due to the fact that the government would claim that theyre ramping up testing that its more widely available now than ever in fact more tests are being conducted in the u. K. Than across the whole of europe but at the same time as well theres also been a survey conducted amongst medics about how they feel about having to deal on the front line with coronavirus and all of those 69 percent say theyre more likely to quit from the pandemic and government treatment leaving 1143. 00 planning to leave the n. H. S. At the end of it basically were looking at medics who think theyre on the edge of burnout well the scientific basis for all of these measures that was highlighted by the chief medical advisor so chris which he early on he is the example of spain amongst other European Countries he said that there had been a sharp rise there but if you implement measures to combat that then you can prevent what the long theyve been anticipating a 2nd wave.
