At least 100 protesters have been arrested across belarus after tens of thousands of Anti Government demonstrators took to the streets for the fourth weekend in a row. They re demanding that president Alexander Lukashenko step down following his re election last month in a poll widely seen as rigged. In the past week, the belarussian Security Forces have intensified efforts to detain or intimidate protesters. 0ur correspondentjonah fisher spent the day among the crowds in the capital, minsk, and sent this report. For the fourth sunday in a row, the people of minsk defied their president. Riot police had been deployed on every street corner. Razor wire used to block off squares and monuments.

Nearly six months on from the first covid cases in yemen, the bbc has become the First International broadcaster to reach the country to gauge the impact of the virus. Yemen is divided between the houthi group based in the north and an internationally recognised government in the south. Even amid the pandemic fighting between the two sides has continued. Bbc arabics special correspondent, Nawal Al Maghafi reports from sanaa in northern yemen. Here in sanaa there is a sense of hopelessness. As we arrive, another victim of covid 19 is being buried.

So when i talk to exper
We dont want to be jumping up and down and going wild. Dont panic. Im a cheerleader for this country, and i dont want to see panic. Of course, there is a massive difference between avoiding panic and giving people a false sense of security in a life and death situation. But that is not all we learned yesterday. We also learned about a new whistleblower complaint from an analyst still working inside the department of Homeland Security. He accuses his superiors of repeatedly abusing their authority trying to censor and manipulate intelligence and even lying to congress to better fit with the president s version of the truth. The department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment. Even with all of that happening, the biggest story, folks, is not politics. Its out west. Out west where wildfires are consuming parts of california, washington and oregon. And it sais all happening at an alarming rate. Tens of thousands of people forced to abandon their homes and stay ahea
