Munichs moments. Before. The winds european footballs Champions League for a 6th time. Over 100000 protesters have taken to the streets of minsk to demand again that president Alexander Lukashenko steps down it marks over 2 weeks of antigovernment demonstrations triggered by his declaration of victory in an election the opposition says was regs a crowd defied warnings of the army being deployed against them in march towards the president ial residence of a square outside the parliament was turned into a sea of red and white by protesters who were waving the traditional better russian flag thats become a symbol of that movement. Average. United in one course they gathered in the streets and in the squares of the capital minsk since the disputed president ial vote on august 9th protesters have defied the authorities and have been gathering every day calling for an end to president look ashamed because 26 year old despite the continued threats of a violent crackdown opposition supporters say they wont give up ahead of sundays rally the bellary saw me rolled into the central city streets a warning to those marching any unrest name only once and statues would not be tolerated and they not the police would see to that. Arriving back at the president ial palace in minsk the man at the center of this wave of discontent alex on the look. He has the backing of russia whos the moment has condemned the protest movement on saturday railed against the opposition supporters and accuse nato of deliberately positioning its bourses by the countrys western border and ordered the army to defend its territory. Nato forces are approaching we understood this last year when they announced drills but coronaviruses slowed them down a bit now the situation from their point of view has become unstable internally they have switched back to operations theyve deployed all their troops we can see this. Nato has dismissed his accusations as baseless. It may bring you to ania thousands joined a human chain spotting 30 kilometers from the Capital Building to the border a show of solidarity not least because it is where opposition to the kind of sky fled to and remains for now shes urged her supporters to keep up the momentum want to know the russian people dont want this president president anymore and its our people and authorities to this year. And listen and his to hear what the russian people warms this is a protest that has taken root across the country maybe clinging on to power by any means rejecting any talk of voter fraud in his electoral win but it is unlikely that he will be able to cultivate support for his leadership in a country where many say they have had enough of his leadership. Aljazeera. Earlier we heard from alexandra. Journalist based in the russian capital whos been following moscows response to the unrest in paris she says officials have been encouraging lukashenko to negotiate. Mr overall hes saying that the way out is wide and broad genuinely Broad National dialogue with Michael Schenker should talk with the trade unions and that moscow would be ok with whatever he agrees with the opposition at the same time hes a suspect in this quarter nation or council of a position was formed the strange way saying there is a lot of people there theyre actually on good russian he went further saying that the her north korea when she came abroad was apparently under some pressure and started again doing political statements supporting and calling for a 4 protests and he also said there is a Certain Program of the colonel in which these written in belorussian said that the us should go out of your asian consulate should they should go out of the a collective security treaty and of the union state of belarus and instead go towards e. U. And eventually nato he even says that its so there that the russian language should be pushed out on the account of belarusian language calling the kind of artificial language and this kind of rhetorical we heard before and we heard it in the case of ukraine all together with the foreign factor with the foreign interference which is an acceptable. Russia is pointing out and saying that it is a parts of opposition that wants to violence on the streets of means and in belarus and they are calling for the bloodshed and that it should be up to belorussian people to decide what to do next or kid giles is a Senior Consulting fellow for the russia and Eurasia Program at Chatham House joins us now by skype a strong showing on the streets of minutes today but i suppose the question is whether this popular pressure can be translated somehow into political gang. Yes its an impressive turnout today after a few days when it seemed as though support for the process was waning in the face of these intensive repressive measures that location because internal Security Forces have been waging against the opposition there have been tortures there have been a paramilitaries all intended to dissuade people from taking up the oppositions cause and in some cases from not agreeing to sign the false election protocols confirming that both look so put that all together and yes it is impressive that this many people have come out once again today. President Alexander Lukashenko has had a fraught relationship with russia in recent years now even if moscow is always going to support the existing government and that every this is more palatable to president putin if hes weak and struggling with the last thing russia will want will be an unstable and an unpredictable situation so even though looking at times has been a difficult partner for russia better that than something which russia has no control over whatsoever i think thats what lies behind the efforts that we see to support location to promote going out that might seem like the early hard part of it says none of the direct intervention that some people are expecting it a little east asian this crisis but we do see the fingerprints of moscow in some of the new policies that are coming through in billows and as you heard from your correspondent in moscow just now moscow is actually interfering directly by trying to discredit the be a russian opposition by ascribing to them all kinds of anti russian policies which would be at all popular with people in bellows. Does that mean that the kremlin has Company Messed all rolled out the possibility of any kind of gosh ation with the opposition or any sort of reform in the country they do seem to be keeping their options open and i think thats where these calls for negotiations for talking to the opposition actually come in now for all of this time russia has been watching and waiting to see which way the situation would develop but theres another angle to this which is disturbing as well which is in the stories that president look at those trying to put together about external aggression against billups you saw him earlier getting off a helicopter or body armor a little rifle and you know ridiculous pantomime trying to suggest that the country is under attack all of this is exactly what russia does not want to hear and it provides a pretext for russia to step in should it wish to. How would it and how would that happen whats their vantage bench and could could materialize well lets take one example look at is been pointing to the Western Region of grodno near the borders with poland and lithuania is what he says the the center of where nato and the west is trying to stir up unrest to unseat president bush and in fact to attack from outside now it just so happens thats exactly the scenario of a huge exercise military exercise with russia and belarus working together that we took place a few years ago calls up in 2017 where precisely that region was the site of these nato shenanigans and the response was for russia to send in troops to work with belarus to suppress that and then that escalated into a broader conflict they took it and that kind of playing with fire blistering up this gore rhetoric but look at shanker that we need to be watching out for now.
