Election his disputed reelection this month and the demonstrations that have followed and on saturday there were arrests at what was billed a womens march for peace in minsk thousands of people still demonstrating there right now. Well Bernard Smith is our reporter who is tracking all these developments but of course for the restrictions that are in place that means he is in the lithuanian capital illness it is almost entirely when in march there was a fear certainly amongst protest organizers that they were losing momentum people were tied people are tied up so many weeks of protests the no indication is willing to give up power but the biggest protest day is always the some day so if there were 10000. 00 people ringing out today then its an indication our source on the ground says that i could be much higher on sunday president previous that complained about foreign Media Coverage of protests in. On this crackdown on foreign media continues at least 19 journalists have their accreditation revoked now these are mainly local belorussian journalists working for foreign media organizations in kenya to work without accreditation the risk of the possible consequences of that are severe they risk being arrested and we have heard of journalists being beaten not during these past few weeks there are still a few foreign journalists in belarus some of them without accreditation the worst they would fear is being thrown out of the country on to other news in the Italian Coast Guard has picked up 49 people from a charity barge in the mediterranean after its distress call crew on board the m. V.

Reason that i was not able to move was because they were towing these 2 life raft alongside not overcrowd to fix too much and also to have. 5 a place for the dead body that was unfortunately found in that boat in distress. Arrived on the scene so now as people are being disembarked finally after almost 24 hours on 2. Coast guard vessel. The situation is getting if its nice but. Is a lot of people on board. And then again the only other ship in the area that might be willing to take them on board is an n. C. O. Vessel for d get its not that youve seen this already doing the job and as many as 500 refugees and migrants are stranded on a Railway Track in Bosnia Herzegovina bought from one province forced into another where help was refused once again china bennetts reports. On a road to nowhere hundreds of migrants from bosnia a trap to my place and a changing political times the blare it goes like a football we are not human here we are just a football they say they are being kicked between police into neighboring bosnian provinces in a sauna cant on announced last week would ban migrants in tring in movement the rulings in a galaxy has been questioned migrants were pushed back to the province of Republika Srpska which refused to accept them these were away tracks so the only place they find amnesty. While there is 17 you know that its very hard live here its very hard. They rely on aid agencies to bring food water and medical aid to the tracks. No food no water nothing. And he migrants seem to mind is increasing in bosnia people in one town sit up roadblocks this summer to stop migrants who still see increased after a Regional Health minister announced 8 migrants have tested positive for private 19 infected were taken to a local hospital and 2 escaped during further anger from residents. It is certain we have hundreds in fact thousands of migrants in camps where migrants dont follow any norms any regulations and none of our guidance they are simply people who dont respect anything the uns Refugee Agency says as of last month there were 9000. 00 refugees in bosnia accounting for 60 percent of refugees in the western balkans the vast majority are from pakistan and afghanistan 600. 00 arriving in bosnia each week up from 50 in may. Even migrant camps are full. They keep coming every day it would be ok if they were inside camps but they keep coming from everywhere coordinating their movements by phone. Then they tried to walk to the croatian border just 3 kilometers that way but get turned back to us. Became a bottleneck for thousands of europe migrants and 27. 00 tane as other migration routes closed up resulting in a 34. 00 would increase of arrivals these migrants are finding themselves on the wrong side of the tracks china ballasts 0 turkey says its stopped an attempt by 6 fighter jets from greece from entering sensitive spots this incident happened on thursday and comes as tensions continue to escalate between the 2 countries over the Eastern Mediterranean sea Cockpit Video released by Turkeys Defense Ministry is said to show a turkish f. 16 chasing then locking its guns on a greek 5 digit. Greece says the jets were simply flying back to base it happened over a part of the mediterranean both claim as their own potentially rich in Energy Reserves in fact this month turkey started exploring the area for oil and gas stephanie deck is in istanbul for us where she says the government is now ramping up its rhetoric. We have heard from the Vice President he said that greece is moved greece has announced that its going to extend its maritime borders this is on it towards italy however but by 6 miles but certainly here its being taken as something that it could then also do when it comes to turkey and saying that that certainly you know if that isnt a provocation to war what else is in this is the kind of language that youre seeing coming out of the highest levels here also the announcement that turkey will continue to carry out military drills northwest of cyprus for the next 2 weeks or so so i think certainly theres no indication that the situation is calming down anytime soon it is so complicated you have a situation where you have 2 countries backed by different regional and international of european powers its all about the exploration of gas its all about where lines stop in the sea but youve got an area that is so populated by islands for example the greek island of kos the loaded saw is only around 10 minutes by ferry from the Turkish Coast so it just shows you how complicated the situation is and even longstanding disputes with cyprus are coming into this and inflaming it in terms of who gets access to what gas so certainly turkey yes particularly europe being accused of being provocative but the message here from from ankara is that theyre doing whats right in that theyre being unfairly treated John Psaropoulos is just outside athens as well and says the current tensions have spilled over from a long running dispute in the aegean sea or turkey has a history of military incursions into areas claimed by greats. The escalation of these incursions by Turkish Forces has been very precipitous in the last 2 years theyve risen from mere dozens before 2009 to hundreds since then and now well into the thousands and this year were set for a repeat performance greece nonetheless insists that it is going to play this dispute by the book which means it is simply standing by International Law and International Maritime law the u. N. Law of the sea and it is calling on turkey to come to a dialogue on the basis of those laws greeks are standing by this by the book approach because theyre winning by this week theyve ratified maritime agreements based on u. N. Law with egypt and italy theyve managed to get the the European Union behind them lining up sanctions that could be used against turkey next month and they are going to stick to that strategy protesters in berlin are rallying against coronavirus restrictions despise police order for the demonstration to be shut down because social distancing rules are being violated counter protests are also planned germany has recorded of 8242000 infections from Melinda Mccain explains now why these protests are happening now. They say that their freedoms are infringed by being forced to wear a mask in public and public transport and enclosed spaces they say that having to observe social distancing goes directly against their fundamental freedoms the or thorough cities here say no thats not the case your storage fees believe that by these people not observing social distancing and not Wearing Masks they increase the threat to the Public Health not just for the people themselves but for the Wider Community what the your thora these here have done is where they have seen protesters not observing the rules they have moved in to stop them as they did earlier in the morning where theyve seen protesters observe the rules theyve not really stepped in to prevent them the police estimate that around 20000 people are on the streets the demonstrations have been coming in going in intensity but clearly the police are monitoring the situation very closely and have demonstrated before their determination to break things up if they believe the threat to Public Health has got too big. Demonstrations also happening in zurich with crowds calling for an end to all coronavirus related restrictions they want the government to lift the mandatory wearing of masks and to stop compulsory vaccinations.

Feel that we have the search at almost every saturday now and tight harry but the thing is it just keeps getting bigger and the list of grievances keeps growing.

Pretty much out the window here. Well yes i mean they they talk about trying to maintain some level of safety by wearing mosques and the like and of course it is in the open air but this is a very hot. My 2 students in the grip of a heat wave at the moment people are very close together so yeah that is one of the things that the critics of this protest among them the Prime Minister and his family of course do talk about when there are all sorts of restrictions on prayers and concerns about schools reopening in the coming days the fact that so many thousands of be grouping together so frequently in this way at a time when israel is in the grip of the 2nd wave of coronavirus thats just one of a list of grievances the Prime Minister has against the protesters he calls them anarchists and leftists his son has been tweeting various theories about who might really be behind them and financing them and the question of course remains how this really acts as leverage against Prime Minister netanyahu the time when any threat of an imminent election seems to have passed at least until spring next year and is look good party is very much behind him especially after his recent 2 with the agreement with the united not a doubt about marines ok perry for sits in west jerusalem thank you for that the United Arab Emirates as harry was referencing there has officially ended its boycott of israel the u.
