Well we begin this news hour with the Global Pandemic and concerns about the rising number of infections even as governments roll out their vaccination campaigns several countries have now increased restrictions ahead of. Easter holiday well france is extending its measures and is now going into a phone and lockdown in a year more than 6000 police have also been deployed to make sure people around paris are complying with the new rules while all of italy is now considered a high risk red zone the government there has introduced a strict easter weekend lockdown its also banned nonessential travel and in south America Brazil remains the epicenter of the pandemic there where and factions have passed the 25000000 mark thats prompted both chile a and bolivia to close their borders on a day in baba begins our coverage of europe now from london a weekend in rome and people out and about enjoying these to break but remind us of the coverage 19 restrictions are never far away. But i think the pew do non it will be more than a year now it seems the 1st restrictive measures were imposed in italy we will probably among the 1st countries to completely submerged in sea and people are tired or whatever word theyre protecting health is essential in these times. All regions are now classified as red zones people can leave home to exercise or to visit relatives once a day but police are checking nobodys travelling between regions for the content im glad they are doing checks it means something is working in this whole mess. Over in leone in southeastern france this man was one of thousands getting a coronavirus job inside the city football stadium on saturday with intensive care units as full as they were last april the country speeding up its Vaccination Program over Easter Paul Newman point it doesnt get in the press falling tay isnt for the people who come here these are quite stressful times by doing this hopefully we can get through it and quickly from saturday theres a nationwide curfew between 7 pm and 6 am president emanuel says although it is will take a relaxed view this weekend if people travel beyond the permitted 10 kilometers but from monday night theyll be checking such journeys are essential. In spain traditional easter possessions a cancelled but in barcelona some have been making the most of the weather spain still in the state of emergency in new cases have been rising a new national law says people have to wear a mask outdoors and gatherings of more than 6 people are banned in this region but here at least theyre taking a measured approach. In Britain Police forces have also people not to travel long distances over the holiday while the Prime Ministers issued his own reminder you can be taught. To house those 6 people outside with outside. See the doors break bars the speed of the u. K. s butts in Nation Program means the governments own truck with what it calls its cautious irreversible road map to freedom but it still is in the public to be careful on monday Boris Johnson set to outline the next steps out of lock down the 0 london well thats not a listener run past me and clung to his monitoring developments for us across south america as weve been saying it does seem like more and more countries are closing their borders that is the way that region becoming more divided every nation essentially now for itself. When the stage truly it has been divided through most of the spend them in there has been little concerted effort to come up with shared policy on how to try and contain the spread the virus many countries have had their border close for many months or up to a year thats the case for example here in colombia with both ecuador and venezuela but now as most countries throughout latin america are going through their 2nd or even 3rd surge in infections we are seeing more borders being shut that is the case for example in believes that believe you have. Decided to close its for interior with brazil for at least a week and now. Decided to close its borders for the entire month of april nobody will be able to leave the country or visit from outside of chile they also impose serious new strict measures. Everybody has on their a Strict Lockdown just the basic basic necessities can be bought even if using the Livery Services in this despite the fact that she has already reached a vaccination of more than 35 percent of its population this is a cautionary tale that even in the cases of a country thats been quite quick and they expect steamrolled until immunization is in place and you search can arrive in chile has seen its numbers going up since mid february you say chile is a cautionary tale but they have had that really very successful vaccine right out how is the rest of the region dealing with the vaccination campaigns of the mend. Well as an outlier in latin america most countries have had a very hard time buying finding vaccines when they get them their rollout has been quite slow also there have been a number of countries that have seen major scandals that has been the case in argentina in ecuador improve for example where politicians or other powerful people have been able to jump the line that is create the major headaches for the governments there of course it also means that people dont trust their government in many cases that they will be able to do a good job but bottom line generalizing across latin america its clear that. None of these countries will reach him except for chile will reach immunization this year the expectation is that the Vaccination Programs will continue well into 2022 and this week director of the Pan American Health organization quite clearly said that there simply arent enough vaccines across the region to stop the current outbreaks and so for the months to come again the only options will be to rely on masks social distancing then unfortunately more restrictions when there are new surges. Across those developments for us across latin america from bogota thank you hadassah. Well speaking of inoculations to d. P. Good to sunny shes a clinical epidemiologist and also a senior lecturer at Queen Mary University of london and she says vaccinations alone will not contain the spread of the virus. This is what scientists have been warning for a long time that vaccination reduces the risk of severe infection among the people who are vaccinated but to achieve low levels of transmission just with vaccination you need to vaccinate almost the entire population it is a very large proportion of the population of particularly given that vaccines dont provide complete protection against transmission even among those vaccinated so this really highlights that cases gad very high even with high levels of vaccination like were seeing in chile at the moment and hospitals can be overwhelmed even so also we need to really think of vaccines as one part of a multipronged approach rather the salt approach thats going to end the pad to make we really need those interventions like mask use social distancing all of those things a place good test case and isolate systems good border controls particularly with the new 1000000000 status circulating right now to ensure that cases are kept down by vaccination continues also to prevent new billions arising that could potentially threaten these precious vaccine resources meanwhile germany as president has conceded that mistakes were made regarding coronavirus testing and vaccinations that thousands rallied against private 1000 measures and start garson and violent present frank was a steinmeier says germanys enduring a crisis of trust for confusing restrictions and the governments response to this pandemic people to pull together you get a vote on going to the given the security for those in government is clear get it together lets all get together de compatriots lets bring forth what were made of we are not world champions in dealing with the pandemic but were not a total failure either we are the republic of germany we doubt a lot but were capable of a lot and its capability not doubt that counts now of. Well lebanon has imposed a National Lockdown until next tuesday to prevent a potential surge and 1000 cases during the Easter Holiday some essential shops will stay open though and restaurants will be allowed to provide deLivery Services the country has now reported more than 474000 cases and over 6000 deaths since this pandemic began a coronavirus restrictions could soon be tightened in some of indias biggest cities if the number of cases there rise daily new infections are now at a 6 month high with a month long said reaching a peak of around 80000. 00 on monday indias richest state maharashtra accounted for more than half of those new infections with officials there warning that a lockdown may indeed be necessary. Well there is still plenty more ahead for you this news hour treating me jack has a new president well look at the major challenges he faces as he tries to unite a divided nation. And bulgarias Prime Minister is hoping to win a 4th term in office on sunday despite its loud calls of totalitarianism and corruption by his critics. And coming out in support of gemma find out why next years winter Olympic Games is facing calls for boycotts. Egypt is moving some of its royal mummies to a new home the remains of 22 ancient binocs 18 kings and 4 queens set to be transferred to cairos recently inaugurated National Museum of egyptian civilization a socalled golden parade is set to get properly underway within the next hour with film stars dances and sing is a scorching these while mummies the multimillion dollar pharaohs procession is expected to help resurrect egypts Tourism Industry and lets take you to some live pictures now from that museum in cairo where the mummies will be moved to weve seen lots of pomp and ceremony and including now an orchestra will be helping to welcome those mummies when they arrive while we can now speak to see me she is head of the egyptology unit at the American University in cairo she joins us now from there professor clearly weve seen the politicians alison force today president sisi is stated to receive the money as well at the museum how is this all being viewed in egypt especially given the cost of all of todays parade and celebrations. Well it is pomp and circumstance with you of both tamil and the terrorist but i think in a way people are very proud of what they are seeing although there was great expense i think maybe the returns will be quite good in the long run but it is extremely moving at the same time so having watching that there are those process all the way through these capitals is i think for a lot of egyptians a very emotional time period and i think that. It is done with such. Really. But of course not everyone is ever going to be happy about it and. Of course what were seeing this parade take class now lots of people. Like lining the streets and huge amounts of lights and dancing and and all of that really this is also about the money and 22 money as we were saying you and i last out 22 people as well who also lead very human lives can you talk us through some of your favorites. Well sickener a tower is one of the best he actually chased up to expose or was part of the process and give that extraordinarily interesting money because youve got these wounds in his head which where active might have penetrated his skull so you can see that one had a rather a violent demise but he makes the very interesting mummy and of course the most handsome of all the mummies that upset him 1st he was truly elegant man but you know each mummy her story ran with the more pop on his bearing. That of harry one of the great great intimacy. Something very special to tell us. And particularly found the name of this one by. A professor i was just going to ask because im really fascinated by the role of the queens here especially how should the source if im saying that correctly one of the few female pharaoh can you tell us a little more about the role of women and leading these ancient civilizations. Women in ancient egypt had one of the best to have been an evil woman in the ancient world they could own property they could have schedules they could get married because one businesses had a huge amount of equality of quite a lot of power as we knew we didnt have this so then once the downtrodden masses that you got increased and didnt grow educating women had a lot more power. And i dont want to ask you before i let you go sorry professor and i apologize for the poor video and audio connection there but i also understand that the display the very display itself of human remains has become increasingly controversial and im curious about where you land within that debate. I actually think its a case of you remaining long as a just a respectable man a what is being done here is the new york up in the mouth and the star expose and you would have a choice to come and see them or not see them it is something that is increasingly controversial and of oil money in fact being taken off put back on to play a couple of times for history issues in the 20th century so lets see what the 21st century bring for us and dave will be watching very closely mccrum that the head of the egyptology unit at the American University in cairo great to have you back here with us on aljazeera thanks for your insights professor. Now at least 5 more people have been killed in myanmar in the latest crackdown and he could protest as that but threats of violence and arrests have done little to deter the demonstrators more than 2 months now after the military crew trying to check reports oh a wounded man with a serious head injury is carried away from the barricades in money while about 136 kilometers northwest of mandalay this was just one of the towns where protesters are reported to have been shot at by the Security Services in mandalay they took to the streets on motorbikes easier to flee when the crackdown comes and it follows another night of violence this video from sun chong in central young gun shows Police Standing over the body of an injured man you can hear the fear in the voices of those filming as they dragged the body away. That violence shared around the world on social media is drawing growing criticism even from myanmars powerful neighbors. We condemn any use of violence we believe that the rule of law should be privileged we stand for the distribution of democracy in myanmar. We have urged to leave the Political Prisoners and so did any attempts at dissolving the Current Situation including through the efforts of. Growth and regional concerns are increasing as 10 ethnic groups are myanmars borders through their support behind the anti Coup Movement on saturday that sparked fears of wider conflict on the possibility of a full blown civil war in thailand memos representative at a Global Beauty pageant broke down on stage when she proclaimed her support for the protest as they are working on the street. Now shes unable to return home but determined in her support. For the situation because they told me that they were on the street and im also fighting my way on the on the stage now i think that if they will not give that we will. And the funerals continue to this woman was shot in the head as she travelled home from her job in a south korean bank. Bus stops around the country have been turned into improvised memorials for those who have died with messages of resistance now the Wireless Internet Services have been counted off but even these simple shrines are being torn down as the Security Services try to eradicate all signs of resistance tony ching 00. 000 people have been demonstrating in several u. K. Cities against a bill that would give police more powers to break up protests that bill was drafted after the socalled Extinction Rebellion environment protests back in 2019 Internet Police set time a noise limits on rallies even individual demonstrations activists say its designed to suppress dissent existing laws under new scrutiny after Police Arrested several people at a recent vigil from out of woman paul brennan was that one of those rallies for us today in london for there was really quite the die vast turnout today can you talk us through how everythings played out. This piece of proposed legislation is really brought together a real kaleidoscope of different campaigning groups and interested parties because of the way it would clamp down broadway on the protest and dissent so its brought together groups as diverse as black watch month to her example. Expressed its plans today what we have was a few 1000 people here in london watching from my pocket or not down into Central London to palm and square where they had speeches on this and some large music and then they were theyve been dispersed or in the Late Afternoon and im now on square where they got it for a while maybe rudolph over my shoulder or way down a place called the old bridge. There was some copper. Station saw at the end of the afternoon that had been some alcohol drunk and there were some clashes between police and protesters there were also some scuffles here in Trafalgar Square when some small pockets of demonstrators tried to block the traffic and the police were very adamant that they werent going to be allowed to block the traffic that have been some arrests as well least 6 arrests in this small area where im standing i think there may have been others elsewhere but overall its still peacefully and full how is the government dealing with a specially given the current state of Public Opinion around to anything. Yeah its important to look at the big context of the bill has been pushed through as you say its largely inspired 52960000 rebellion protests which how Central London for many many weeks from the police felt powerless to actually meet people on and get the flow of london the road open and running again and the criticisms of d this particular proposed legislation is that it goes too far the other way that it would in allow this name on a much lower threshold not from the risk of serious disorder but just public nuisance around. The confidence nor is the section on process the government doesnt appear minded to back down on this they have a majority in parliament theoretically they could push it through if they wanted to there will be amendments no doubt that misled by opposition parties who are very angry about it and the biggest criticism really is that its a mammoth bill which lumps lots of Different Things in together for example proposes longest sentences for serious crimes not in prison sentences for less serious crimes the kind of things that many people here in the u. K. Would agree with on the protest side of things but thats where really gets sticky and the idea of clamping down on what people regard as a human right to dissent is not a popular measure told then and there on the streets of london for us to feel the nations thanks so much for. Police officer in the United States has been killed and another injured when a man rammed his car into a barricade outside the Capitol Building in washington d. C. The attack a was shot and died in hospital the area was immediately put into lockdown just 3 months off to congress was raided by donald Trump Supporters had to call him now reports from washington d. C. Its happened again. Another attack on the u. S. Capitol suspect. This part into officers and then hit the north barricade barrier assets time the suspect exit the vehicle with a knife in hand the suspect is believed to be 25 year old no agree police say he lunged at the officers and they shot him dead before his car rammed the steel barricade police say he ran over 2 officers William Evans an 18 year veteran of the force was killed his body escorted to the morgue by a long line of police cars the other officer was seriously injured i just ask that the public continue to keep u. S. Capitol police and their families in your prayers. This is been an extremely difficult time for u. S. Capitol police less than 3 months ago another member of the Capitol Police force died after trying to battle back a pro trump mob attempting to stop the election in that case reinforcements took hours but thousands of National Guard troops have been here since just after the january 6th attack and they quickly surrounded the building alert for a follow up attack that didnt come congress is not in session right now police say they had no intelligence on the south bank before this happened so now they start looking for a motive. Most of the fences that have surrounded the capital since the attempted insurrection have been taken down there were thousands fewer soldiers walking the grounds there was a sense that life here was going back to something approaching normal not now not after another deadly day in front of the symbol of american democracy. Aljazeera washington. Well still ahead here on out is there a Cherry Blossom season comes any again and south korea setting and now the record and bringing with it a warning. And in support is a dramatic start to the new electric off a series taking place from saudi arabia.

A unique here endangered biodiversity lies in the hot. One of the back to produce tropical jungles there was a lot of misinformation about the animals that we have here and now theyre probably other just becoming vice others of conservation in their communities aljazeera journeys deep into the rain forest to follow a scientist untouched teams efforts to save the flora and fauna so precious in the region women make science ecuadors Hidden Treasure on aljazeera. Jumped into the story there was a lot going on in this show and julia not Global Community when i thought of all the misinformation i think we are more afraid than we are aware be part of the debate john edwards the everybodys one word because there is always a difference when no topic is off the table we have been disconnected from our land we have been disconnected from who we are and would love to hear from you in each week be part of todays discussion this streamed on out is there a.

Now the governor of the u. S. State of georgia has criticized Major League Baseball for moving its all star game out of atlanta but decision comes a week after the state pass new legislation tightening voting laws critics say the changes designed to suppress democratic votes especially among black versus well lets now speak to mike hanna hes following this for us from washington d. C. Mike it really does seem that this is turning into a bit of a showdown very much so and now the corporations are joining in as well they were quiet while this was law was being discussed they didnt come out with any major objection but since that law was passed major corporations such as cocacola and delta who have their homes in Atlanta Georgia have issued statements condemning this move now this has a Ripple Effect in terms of corporations in particular and this is something that could have an impact not only in georgia but further afield and that is what the governor of georgia brian kemp had to say the News Conference on the state we can let the earliest. You know out flankers out political. You know. Or we can get in the 5 in thats what were doing i mean this is a call to everyone not only in georgia but all across the country to wake him to get in the fight in the health person. Because they are coming for you know. I mean would have been what or are they going after now would have been are they going to go after what Convention Like just listening to the governor there is this potentially a threat to other states. Very much so and that is what the governor here is well aware of and other states too similar laws are being contemplated in states like texas and in florida and the difference from georgia is that the big corporations for example have already come out very strongly against the law in texas youve got bill technologies a major employer in texas youve got the airline the American Airlines which has a very major employer in texas as well theyve come out with very strong statements urging the texas government not to pass such a law saying that it wouldnt cringe on basic rights weve also heard a similar call from President Biden who actually before all the Major League Baseball announced when called on them to take exactly such a step so this is something that is having a Major National impact it doesnt just concern georgia it appears will continue watching the situation as it unfolds very closely indeed mike hanna there for us in washington d. C. Thanks so much mike well we will have more on just what this move means for baseball a little later on in sports with gemma nash on moving on and leaders of southern africas regional bloc plan to hold talks next week about the ongoing violence in northern most and be the u. N. Says the humanitarian situation there is deteriorating rapidly on friday the French Energy giant turtle shut its operations and withdrew its staff from the region groups stormed the town of palma a week ago killing hundreds of people well we can now speak to ice was about gas car he is the emergency coordinator for Doctors Without Borders and he joins us now from whether in mozambique by skype i saw the situation in kabul delgado has been pretty dire for years now but then this latest attack in parma really brought it into sharper focus especially for many of the regional leaders i want to start with the situation on the ground how are people coping. Well scenes scenes there last week that they started attacking paloma thousands of people has been on their own. In the bush in the bush trying to get to safety in different cities or in the west that is so vital for a couple the legal and i so as you mentioned weve seen this huge local displacement where foreigners are being evacuated now to tell us leaving does that make the Community Even more vulnerable or does that rather a seed to the demands of these armed groups. Where where we know is that it really is more on proportion of what syria the early should be the quantity of people that it was around a right to safe bases like more than one guy out there i want to. Show were we are assuming that there are probably dozens of thousands of people in the in the i mean theyre in the forest hiding or trying to reach safe bases. And theyre probably they are the ones that they are or either more or more terrified or probably theyre ones that theyre more vulnerable or more sick and theyve got not reached the bases where they can be assisted do you think given the political situation there and the stated aims of these on trips that the pulling out of town actually makes it safer for communities there or makes them even more vulnerable. I can i can sit it out i mean what he destroys that is that the. Time of violence in color they got those who say you know go has already the space 600000 people number only this is going to be another 40 spacemen which is going to make will never let her know that this also sins so he says it is a situation where where people is feeling not protected. And they are and if theyre really being you know targeted by you by your bio inspired by the by the groups that theyre operating in the area you mentioned that a lot of people are still hiding in the jungle and obviously infrastructure there is a huge challenge how much help a you and other n. G. O. S managing tatane get to some of the more rural inland areas but no were a little bit puzzled because we are not that we have not receiving us much people that we were expecting but for example i am speaking with my colleague x who are most of them displays themselves from the last year of the space many muslim brothers or you know you know there are places to go there you go there and they they are just hounded by the by the by the time that they were spent they spent. Hiding in like 456 days they were hiding in the in the in the forest and then it took another 4 or 5 days to reach safe places on the train and to avoid. This is this is. Actually what people are saying to us is that they are trying to avoid it if you road so they are there because they are afraid. And their little related equipment to their places. People has left the houses with no with nothing on their hands so so are a lot of people hes burned their food a lot of people hes showing injuries in the food and in the defeat in the in the in their arms are know of course they didnt have food or were there for a few days and of course given the widespread abuses that weve seen from various groups there was a trust remains very low but as youve been saying this also isnt a new situation so what can sadik actually do now to try to resolve this are they likely to be able to. It is not an issue to ration is the just situation for some of the people who are living in boma we need to remember that a big proportion of the people who west now or until last weekend but they were at this base themselves and they have been displaced several times that is not the 1st time that this happening to them and it. Is not the 1st time of this happening to a lot of people who are so ready now maureen seen also that people is leaving by the market so there is quality there list save them before. Hers about her gas car from Doctors Without Borders theyre speaking to us from the ground and weather and northern missouri big thanks so much for being with us on out there and we do wish you all the best with your way. Thank you. Well its been a dramatic week of testimony in the trial of a former us Police Officer charged with killing george foyers a senior Police Officer testified that derek chauvinist decision to nail him for its neck was a totally unnecessary act of deadly force cable as on the reports now from minneapolis. At the end of the 1st week of the derek show ven murder trial may have lacked the tearful emotion of the previous days but for the defense team it was perhaps the most devastating the jury heard from one of the highest ranking members of the Minneapolis Police force lieutenant Richard Zimmerman a nearly 40 year veteran and a homicide detective he was called on to the scene in the aftermath of floyds arrest and subsequent death to investigate in no Uncertain Terms he condemned show vns use of his knee choke hold on george floyd. What is your. You know your view that use of force during that time to totally unnecessary what do you mean. Well 1st of all. Pulling him down to the ground face down and putting your knee on a neck for that amount of pot that amount of time. Is just. Uncalled for. I saw no reason why the officers felt they were in danger if thats what they felt. And thats what they would have to feel to be able to use a kind of force. In an exclusive interview without his ear after the Court Proceedings had been adjourned for the week George Floyds uncle selwyn jones told me the family just wants justice all im doing is setting back just waiting you know just waiting for that day to killed when i hear guilty i dont get to see him at thanksgiving or christmas or hollowing i dont get the city anymore he dont get to see his baby he dont get to do any of the things hes supposed to be doing because somebody decided that that day he would be judge jury and executioner its extremely rare for Police Officers to testify against one of their own and the dramatic testimony caps a week that saw several witnesses break down in tears in front of the jury while recounting what it was like to watch george floyd. Who do you think is winning this case in the 1st week. Theres no doubt in the 1st week that the government put its best foot forward in one of the things that they did is used video repeatedly and in different ways to emphasize their point because video has that objectivity that no eyewitness is going to have however for many people here in the Africanamerican Community theres still a long way to go in this trial they have control right now were just theyre just whats in their opinion we dont have no control he cant this jerk this killer still today they said not guilty he can walk away scot free before the trial will continue on monday and its expected prosecutors will continue to call more witnesses perhaps even the chief of police gabriels on doe aljazeera and yeah pulis. Well lets take you back to egypt where some of its royal mummies are currently being moved to a new home as i was saying earlier the remains of 22 engine monarchs 18 kings and 4 queens are right now being transferred to cairo as recently inaugurated National Museum of egyptian civilization while we have been watching the pictures of this parade as it moves through cairo we can now be joined again by city mccrum she is the head of the edge egyptology unit at the American University in cairo and she joins us now from there. Im curious can you talk us through some of what weve been seeing its really been quite a dramatic display both on land and was a real showcase of history but also some quite interesting vehicles that it has been very fortunate weve had. A chariot weve had a procession of people and children running a real relief and slowly it be that you could have been shot from the i. O. C. Even going by and all the International Events if youd like station lots and lots of the altar there and its been accompanied by the biggest part of screen and he recently has. Been and all that he he is a little bit for amnesty the 2nd here the 7th a live event or produce one. Professor you were saying earlier this isnt the 1st time these mummies have been raped but its obviously a very delicate process so can you talk us through what sort of preparations had to be made in order for this to happen. It took it took a long time and i think that the past 3 years theres been intensive learning going on about the spectacle but more importantly how the bombing. In a safe way through a lot of time and effort of the search is entirely that of to figure out actually is the money to store them during the big fall before they get it and you because its known that there which takes a couple of weeks to slowly on part of the interest and you cases theres a really a climatized to the situation all the very interesting to see that indeed in the public i believe will be welcomed back to see them at some point later on in april silly me a crime that the head of the egyptology unit at the American University in cairo great to get your thoughts here again on out as they are thanks being with us now the International Criminal court has welcomed the u. S. Decision to lift sanctions on some of its employees calling it now a new phase and ties the Trump Administration youll recall impose those restrictions on the i. C. C. Chief prosecutors and another top official as that court began to investigate american troops for potential war crimes in afghanistan secretary of state anthony brink and says washington still disagrees with that and other investigations. Well bug ariens are now heading to the polls for a general election on sunday Prime Minister Boyko Borisov this hoping to win a 4th term in office with his gob party but with no major party likely to win an outright majority a new anti elite party may act as kingmaker Bennett Smith reports now from sofia. Bulgaria the Prime Minister hasnt given any interviews in this Election Campaign just Photo Opportunities where the only camera allowed is from his own team. Governs an e. U. Country where according to the u. S. State department theres little Judicial Independence there are opportunities and journalists are threatened with violence in sundays election he could well retain his grip on this former satellite of the soviet union. Takes long for democratic i. Q. To mature but on the other hand there are concrete. Experiences of the bulgarians over the past 3 decades and the fact that they have not being been able to reap the benefits of a democratic system in theory should provide so they have become disenchanted the more of the fold there is that steve 45 percent would prefer a model of strongman leadership last summer several months of Anti Corruption protests with the biggest challenge to power so they started after an Opposition Leader tried to set foot on a public beach that had been sealed off for use by want to bulgaria as most powerful but. Christo ivan off says the e. U. Ignores the corruption here because boris office party is allied with the Largest Center right coalition in the European Parliament with of is not an ideal he doesnt. Sort of make any political pronouncement he is the siren practitioner of openness not only them but of corruption to be open Peoples Party the elite in brussels and in berlin frankly we will need to understand that they cannot afford any longer to close the blind eye to what is happening in the office any protests now a tiny in comparison thats part phase of covert part resignation.
