I would say people are afraid of the possible escalation further escalation of violence on behalf of a Kenyan Police and there are there are no guarantees that the police wont use those press brutal methods again to disperse the crowds and i want to bring out that weve seen in the cars days that many of those people change in the previous protests they were released but i will be charmed by the smoot of the government this could be just a way to sort of like pass testified the protestors and to distract their attention and also today were having today and tomorrow there are massive protests scheduled and it is just possible that the authorities simply decided to free the those Detention Centers to it to be able to get more people in and to come dates and you yourself have left belarus is that right. Because of the security some made here i did because there were security concerns not only for myself but ive seen what was happening to both delegation experts and some deliberation and foreign journalists who were virtually detained somewhere if there were foreigners they were ordered from the country and there were very disturbing news from some of my fellow colleagues somewhere. Between one expert a political analyst from. The other he was so his car was pulled over on the street by the police and was bitten and detained for a few days and there was a criminal case charged against a ph just student a fellow russian who studies at George Washington university he came to galleries for the vacations in the thirtys broke into his house in the middle of the night and yes im just saying that the analysts and journalists do not feel safe at the moment being in the country i can imagine now but has now with the support from russian president Vladimir Putin one of his prominent supporters what is he looking for there from president. We dont know what was the exact conversation about with foot in today but. The union stayed the brotherhood treachery turfing told works pushing and saying that the instability that is now under evelyn in valeries could have a spillover effect in in russia as well and this comes with. Understanding that hes now not able to to manage the situation domestically and in any case hes very much politically economically dependent on russia and the developer she economy and. Foreign policy is dependent on russia and like so far put in is his only ally at the context when they watch this preparing harsh sanctions ok don afraid thats all we have time for but thank you very much for speaking to us today.

Male and island of silence this was the island in the middle of june when German Tourists largely began arriving again off the lock down but it may well start to look this quiet again soon now that germany has issued a travel warning for the belayer a car lands gens schmidt runs a small her telling my oka it is many rooms a large garden and now big worries. You know im its similar to today we received 3 cancellations because people in secure cannot afford to go into quarantine when they come back from majorca or the blair garlands there is simply a great deal of planning uncertainty. In the course of planning seems enjoy it if you dont travel warning was announced after surgeon coronavirus cases across spain many here expected it but others were hopeful theyve been forthright talking you here go i came here 2 days ago and realized that i am safe a heathen in berlin or in brandenburg or in the baltic sea where there are a lot more tourists to listen to its you seem to like to we dont know whether we will go home again all when we will go home and what impact this travel warning will have previously 5000000. 00 germans came to the island each year many are now likely to cancel their travel plans the current warning applies to all of spain except Canary Islands to put it loosely you could say turn off the lights lower the shadows will close the country. Loses feel its very difficult for everyone because the polarity islands rely on tourists on the one hand there are the hotels in the retail trade where tourists go shopping restaurants bars and pubs discos actually every business is affected in mosul the 2nd wave of the coronavirus came faster than many expected and soon it will be quiet again on my oka has a look at some of the other developments in the corona virus pandemic india has now reported more than 2 and a half 1000000 cases of covert 9 thing but country remains the 3rd worst affected by the pandemic after the u.

And brazil south korea is tightening restrictions in the capital seoul infections have hit a 5 month high in the country and new zealand is battling its 2nd corona Virus Outbreak with 7 new infections extending a lockdown of its largest city ologhlin by at least 12 days. As for how im thrown to the semifinals of the Champions League after defeating bossa line up to Thomas Millers going to have the goals as his tame became the 2nd german squad to advance to the champions late seventies alongside lot 6 have already won the bundesliga and the german cup this season out on hoping to climb all 3 major trophies next take home the winner of the match between Manchester City and nia long. And to discuss the game for the tournament as a hallway joined by chris hangtime chris so maybe not such a huge shock that. Maybe not such a huge shock that by and this game. Champions and over by such a huge margin was anyone expecting that no i dont think it was expected but basically munich took barcelona put them over the knee and gave them a good spanking you know that it was complete obliteration you know the 8 to a final you know all eyes are on Thomas Miller thomas the rum is how he self described you know he describes himself hes a space interpreter you know and he needs showed he was the man of the match at 2 goals and assists and you know the floodgates are open very early i mean for one you have to you fall asleep they double the result may to finish even continuo had a brace in the 2nd half i mean you know talking about pouring salt in the wounds you know this very well could have been lionel messi is farewell the not a good one at that the last words in barcelona is theyre in pain and they believe theyve hit rock bottom in a migrant well find theyve won the german lake and the german cop what chances of a letter they have to take home a trophy do you think the trouble thats what every you know Exceptional Team you know wants to accomplish that was a goal set up by their captain manuel neuer early in the season and now it looks like you know they have begged. Ability the last time they won was 201213 season and on route to that trouble they defeated barcelona in a similar fashion you know so i think it starts the top ponzi flick he was supposed to be the caretaker a place holder well now hes holding it down you know in heroic way i think they have all of the sail they need the wind behind their sails to accomplish the trouble and ill keep my fingers crossed obviously they have to get through the semis but it looks good so far well as much as jane said in the last year about how the bonus lake was losing ground to all the top legs like the premier label let me. What should we make out of the fact that 2 of the for surviving tames off from the bundesliga you know i think it just speaks volumes to how competitive the but as they get you know has been this past season a lot of teams share the top spot rb leipsic was one of those teams you know in the last season we saw you know in all english final and we could very well see the same thing this season i didnt expect leipsic to get this far i thought dortmund might be the one to carry that but its a good torch into the semifinals but nonetheless byron and life seek are you know the heavyweights of the bunch as they get. There representing it very well right now and i think that they have a shot you know obviously its a one off so its hard to tell but im pulling for the german sides of course well on predictions about one more quarter final to go in Manchester City buses now on saturday your thoughts on that much well the heavy favorites clearly are man city they have yet to taste defeat in the Champions League laon on the other hand they have suffered 3 defeats they have to rely on memphis the pay thats their main goal scorer but you know the list goes on and on who man city have at their disposal you know silva where oh you know writing sterling i think they have your favorites will walk away victorious but Pep Guardiola himself acknowledged that its never easy in the final 4 given all of the opponents theyre all capable of winning it so obviously he doesnt want to put the cares before the horse either christ a lot of stuff to look forward to thanks very much for the analysis ok.
