And similar spooled its all be like seeing makes a huge leap for German Football Club reach the European Champions League semifinals just 11 years old to be full and we look at whats behind their record rights. While the president of the us says people should get back to work the interior minister is apologizing for the treatment of demonstrators but thousands of factory workers have gone on strike its day 6 of protests over last sundays disputed president ial election the workers are from some of the larger. State run factories there joining a growing movement which wants Alexander Lukashenko to step down after 26 years in power hundreds of protesters have been released nearly 7000. 00 people have been held since sunday in a violent crackdown that seen many beaten and tortured look at ankara appeared on state t. V. A few hours ago warning that those on strike might not be paid. The question that of what people must be told that they have the only chance to save the enterprise that feeds them only saving their factory will feed their families they can take to the streets there are thousands of them walking but there is no money or they will be paid for just 2 days while the opposition candidates for atlanta take on of sky has fled to neighboring lithuania and shes calling for International Help to set up talks with belarus you know authorities she also wants her supporters to join peaceful protests this weekend and. We need to stop the violence on the streets of by the russians i call on the government to stop this and to come to the negotiation table i ask all town mayors to act as organizers of peaceful mass invest in each town on the 15th and 16th of august your Foreign Ministers are holding a special meeting in brussels to discuss possible sanctions against about the risks said vasant is live for us in minsk step lets talk about the protests 1st of all given that there have been some sort of efforts by the government to have some sort of attempt to calm this down what is the protests like there. Well situation is developing up pretty rapidly here the factory workers are not at the factories anymore striking they have taken to the streets as well they marched to the government building here behind me and they own the square joined by all the other protesters that have been protesting on the sidewalks since the last 2 days very emotional scenes just 15 minutes ago when they were sort of marching towards the government building they were actually on the statue already that you also can see behind me there was complete confusion there was nobody some people somewhere actually knocking on the door of the government building nobody was opening but suddenly military police in full gear came out with shields and sticks and weapons and people were sort of. Going back really scared but then suddenly the soldiers started dropping their shields and unbelievable scenes happened people came forward with flowers hugging the soldiers crying and old saying thank you thank you so this was an unbelievable moment in the protests that have been happening for the whole week already and this is one of the key questions isnt it staff about how the military and the Security Forces including the police are going to carry on from now on given the fact weve had this message from the minister saying that he apologized for the way that people have been treated it really all heins not on how the Security Forces are going to deal with this. Exactly i think we can safely say that there are cracks in the look of regime and cracks might be getting bigger as we speak this gesture by the military police assigned to guard one of the most important strategic buildings in the capital of is of course a real big sign there are also lots of reports about people in his inner circle also resigning also prominent people who work for state Television State radio also have been resigning so its definitely a key question how solid his backup is still is in the regime he has tried as you said to come down protest by releasing more than a 1000 detainees but still a lot of them are in Detention Centers and when the people who have been released came out they told absolute Horror Stories about how they have been treated as you can see in our report. Of torture and abuse inside cramped Detention Centers due to the lack of space detainees who are often forced to lie on top of each other young women say they were forced to undress they were beaten and threatened with rape. The Violent Police crackdown on mainly Peaceful Protesters has left deep scars on many belorussians it has also angered many of president alex on the local shankars former support us the call for him to step down has resonated around. The detained everyone everyone girls guys children who are 151413 years old there was a grandpa who was around 70 with us everyone got to taint even if you just came out of a shop to see whats going on you got to tame me. I was pushed into a police truck they told me either you go with us for 15 days or we beat your legs and let you go the fact that im here now its clear what i chose. To call for alex on the lookout got to step down resonates around belarus after a violent crackdown this is what the president is facing more people on the streets and growing anger about the thousands detained and excessive violence used all the economists for a state owned newspaper is still looking for a 21 year old son detained with his friend on monday evening roy seems to be up to you know. When. My son is a student at the Law Department hes not an alcoholic more a drug addict i dont want our boys to be beaten they are the future of our country its very can the 21st century if they dont stop i will burn myself i am ready to go on a hunger strike. Around the country factory workers have started to join the protests at a large state owned lorry factory hundreds announce a strike demanding new elections former servicemen are throwing away their uniforms out of shame for what Government Troops have done to their own people serving Police Officer fled the country after he recorded a statement saying he wont follow what he calls criminal orders to use violent. Any longer. European and u. S. Ambassadors in minsk laid flowers have to square one of the protesters was killed we call on the authorities to allow peaceful process protest for and to leave all those who have exercised this right while the protests are swelling police have stayed away many belorussians have overcome their fears of national. We want our country to develop and not to stay at a dead end. Well stay here until our dictator is overthrown and happiness comes to our country more and more joining the spontaneous protest after they were beaten and chased off the streets at night protesting during the day a new strategy that seems to confuse. Why look might have been able to silence ghana russians for many years this time theyre going to have to stone him for 23 times to them. The fact that the factory workers are right here in front of the main government building is very significant the genie is definitely out of the bottle here in belarus but the main question of course is where is this going to lead to how many people will join the protests i spoke to before and they said many more want to join us but theyre still afraid so the main question is will they overcome their fear and the main opposition candidate has already offered a negotiation a dialogue with the government to talk about what she calls a Transitional Government because she said she has proof that she has won the elections with 60 to 70 percent of the vote but so far has not offered any offer i mean he hasnt accepted any offer for dialogue so meanwhile the pressure on the government and on the president himself will only increase our reporting live for us from.

To normalize relations u. S. President donald trump helped to broker it as part of the agreement israel will suspend but not scrap plans to annex palestinian territories egypt oman and back rain have welcomed the move palestinians say its a betrayal to their cause alan fischer reports from washington. It was perhaps unusual that the president of the United States would announce a treaty between 2 other countries but thats what happened in the oval office. Truly historic moment the president said talks over the past year that brought what will be new in as the abraham a court to be signed by the United Arab Emirates and israel at the white house in the coming weeks this deal is a significant step towards building a more peaceful secure and prosperous middle east i decided the u. S. Ambassador to israel and his son in law a Senior Advisor jerry kush know his middle east peace plan was released in january and he played a key role in this new a court i would like to say to the people of the region muslims Jews Christians that this does give hope that the problems of the past do not condemn you to a future with conflict there is a lot of hope and a lot of potential and this will benefit you and this will also benefit people here in america.

A. E. And israel also agree to cooperation and setting your roadmap towards establishing a bilateral relationship the idea is that both leaders will visit the white house in coming weeks to sign the deal with Donald Trump Center stage he obviously believes that this will help in the run up to the president ial election in november but rarely are american elections this cited by events abroad particularly during a Public Health and financial crisis alan fischer aljazeera at the white house.

Point in carrying out this deal with israel which obviously is something that goes in contravention of the minutes to adhere to at least publicly if not in the background policy of having a resolution in the Israeli Palestinian conflict novelization with other arab states there was this protest at the al aqsa mosque compound there was a smaller protest as well and hebron and the south of the occupied west bank but the real pushback even come from the palestinian leadership itself saying that this is a betrayal this i
