Good afternoon mr hart its great to have you with us and you called for a new elections in that is does that mean that you do not see Alexander Lukashenko as the rightful president of the country. I think its obvious that the elections president ial elections 10 days ago were money pilate that we have so many hymns on. Money predation of that elections that new elections need to be necessary and i think it democratic the start of the country needs to have new elections but the elections under conditions as we have for example stated in the. Treaties of the council of europe where we have free press where we have free. Movement and free activity of candidates for running president xi and neutral observation from outside and i think the always eat our of the council of europe should present. A proposal to the people in belarus that we are able and willing to observe free elections so that at the end of the new elections we can say the elected president is the really elected democratic president of the country otherwise we would have Something Like a. Better restart. And therefore i think you will actions are necessary now i want to ask you about germanys role in all of this we saw that chancellor and i call spoke to the russian president putin today urging for dialogue between the government and the opposition and also an end to violence towards demonstrators how far will germany go to make sure that that will happen. I think the message that European Union and also the german chancellor. Gave all i asked to give to to the russian president and also to catch and was that 1st we want to have a stop the violence on the streets 2nd that. We want to have information about the rumors that potentially. Russian police are russian Russian Military in civilian clothes is moving towards barrows i think every activity from outside needs to be bent and would be a huge. Disturbance of the european peace order and the circus that we want to try to have put in on the side of those who want to have a new future for forbearance and look at shake or looking for that what happened the last 24 hours is a lame duck and put in a might fail but its a broad check to do to support him in the future i think he is also he has to find a way out for himself out of this situation because you question cannot any longer if step in to tea in belarus but as we see no johnny does have these directionals of dialogue with moscow so can germany really serve as a mediator here in belarus between the government to and the opposition. I think European Union troops to speak with one voice toward sparrows and towards russia and toward the others and therefore i would appreciate if the European Union itself would take this all off and negotiate a mediator between the conflict parties but if of us are asked for german politicians to do that all for the german chancellor i think we should step into that role at the end of the day the results cones and the results has to be from my point a few new elections because otherwise it will be a failure of that necessary restart of that country it can only be a democratic restart and thing in between will have to leave it there youre going to have Foreign Policy spokesman for the c. D. U. Thank you so much for joining us and. Theres much lets take a look now at some other stories from around the world a special u. N. Tribunal in the netherlands has started hearing the verdict in the assassination case surrounding former lebanese Prime Minister rafik hariri 4 members of the hizbullah militant group were tried in absentia for the 2005 bombing in beirut that killed temporary and 21. 00 others of the verdict there was delayed from earlier this month due to the deadly beirut explosions. Reports from the west african country of mali say gunfire has been heard and an army base outside the capital bamako the Norwegian Embassy is warning that a possible mutiny might be underway mali has seen mass protests in recent months over corruption and security in the country at least 10 people have been wounded in the shelling attack on the Afghan Capital kabul Authorities Say more than a dozen mortars struck central couple including the president ial compound injuring 6 guards the attack came on afghanistans Independence Day as the Afghan Government prepares to start peace talks with the taliban. In the United States the Democratic Party convention has kicked off with a rousing speech from Michelle Obama the wife of former president barack obama now this years convention is unlike any other because of the coronavirus pandemic the event has been held on line without any crowds or confetti the democrats will formally nominate joe biden as their candidate for president to take on the republican incumbent donald trump in the november election. And we have to get use stacey bivins with us to tell us more about what we are seeing in this convention hi stacy what do you think day one of the convention told us about what the democrats are trying to achieve with it in that kratz of trying to do is for change joe biden as an every man somebody that regular voters can relate to somebody who is sympathetic to their struggles and somebody who has enough big ideas where he can draw a big tent so we saw progressives represented moderate democrats and also disenchanted republicans who once voted for trump but are now looking for another option ok so the democrats are trying to pull all these strands together a lot of people are saying the highlight of day one was the speech from Michelle Obama lets talk about that 1st lets look at a clip of what she had to say we have to vote for joe biden in numbers that cannot be ignored because right now. Folks who know they cannot win fair and square at the ballot box are doing everything they can to stop us from voting theyre closing down polling places in minority neighborhoods theyre purging voter rolls theyre sinden people out to intimidate voters and theyre lying about the security of our ballots they say its not a surprise that Michelle Obama is delivering a strong endorsement of joe biden but she really took on President Trump in her speech didnt yeah i mean as a fellow chicago and i know when somebody is going for the juggler and thats exactly what she did and she put aside the niceties that usually come with being the 1st lady where you speak kindly of your candidate and you refrain from disparaging the incumbent she pretty much said that this man is a clear present danger and americans need to act they need to vote and she said. Shes known for talking about when they go low we go high and some people have thought of that as a you just say nice things about people and she was like no that means that you fight fiercely for what you believe in and you walk in truth and the truth is that donald trump cannot meet this moment and she says he simply cannot be who we need him to be for us whats the message in the speech the seemed to really resonate with a lot of people there was a lot of strong reaction also on twitter i think we have a few of these reactions we can take a look now here Franklin Leonard has a film executive said ive just never seen a political speech like Michelle Obama tonight its a singular thing one of one and another user here saying enough that we can cancel the next 3 nights yeah i mean this was something that if you were a political nerd this was like your n. B. A. Championship. But she was really shooting 3 pointers and she was speaking as a mom who is worried about the example that President Trump a setting she was speaking as a minority who is seeing black and brown people in their allies marching in the streets for social justice and then hearing from the white house that these people are nothing more than agitators. And shes speaking as somebody who knows what it takes to be in the white house and so as much as she was a character witness for joe biden she was a character assassin for president on a trip or we have to look also at the unity of the Democratic Party we also heard from one of joe bidens biggest adversaries in the primaries Bernie Sanders a he delivered a ringing endorsement of biden heres what he said joe biden will end the hate and the vision from past crewed he will stop the demonization of immigrants the coddling of white nationalists the racist or whistling the religious bigotry and the ugly attacks on women. So stacy you know Bernie Sanders as someone who really took a shot at joe biden during the primaries how important was this endorsement and a strong message of unity of the democratic for it was fido and was also a full throated endorsement something that he did not give Hillary Clinton and i think that that speaks to the urgency that he feels so he was reaching out to conservatives saying i want to work with you and he was spoke to his supporters are actually said saying look if you want to be able to see our Progressive Agenda go forward then we need to have joe biden in the office because its not going to happen under donald trump but we have to talk about how convincing this is to people i mean where do the polls stand right now how do things look in the race between joe biden and donald trump. Says polls are so scary though right. You cant really always trust them but. The gap has kind of narrowed so joe biden was up by 12 points and now its kind of contracted to 9 points but this is just the beginning of the. Conventions for the democrats and the republicans will have their ups and so theyll be a little bit of back and forth so its too early really to tell whats going to happen next a lot of time left till november 3rd right stacy of evans our reporter thank you so much youre welcome.
