Spicer welcome to the program and we start where protesters have been staging a massive rally in the capital minsk at least 100 people have been arrested tens of thousands defied a government warning to return to the streets for the 4th sunday in a row they demanded that president Alexander Lukashenko step down following last months disputed election if the tarion leader who has ruled the country for 26 years claimed action with 80 percent of the vote thousands have been detained and several killed in the unrest that followed the election. And lets cross straight to our correspondent Nick Connelly on the line nic another sunday of mass protest how was the mood today. Well this was an extraordinary day of protests seen in the last few weeks of people hundreds of thousands despite the filthy whether it was raining most of the people stayed and they walked almost as a president ial palace where the police have cordoned it off and were looking over across the metal. Was for the most part a kind of carnival atmosphere there were indeed people were out with their pets their dogs and even their small children in the programs not a sense that people had been scared by government threats that had been repeated all through the week and weve seen arrests of students at demonstrating all through the week here in minsk but people stayed out and in big numbers of people very relaxed very Creative Signs out there although it has become traditional towards the end of the protest when people were starting to go home the crowds with thinning police in plain clothes were. Coming off people making seemingly random arrests i saw my 1st smashed window today. It seems was. That was smashed by Plainclothes Police looking for a demonstrator who they were trying to arrest. Videos online emerging people in that cafe screaming at the police trying to stop the rest of the person but then walking off with. You know we had a hard time getting in touch with each other we tried for hours and suspected internet and mobile networks had been shut down what can you tell us about that. Well thats become a kind of tradition here now that on these protests sunday the authorities really reduce the capacity of. Normal phone calls some mobile operators have admitted that this is based on a direct order from the authorities others try to keep it quiet what theyre trying to achieve isnt really clear obviously they can prevent excesses coordinating and talking to one another they can prevent coverage Media Coverage weve all seen other attempts to prevent Media Coverage especially with harrison and even a rest and sentences especially for local but a recent journalist but after all when you have hundreds of thousands people out on the streets with their smartphones in hand these images are going to come out and pretty much in vain but nevertheless that is the thing that seems to become the new normal yeah its day 29 i guess of the protests to us it seems to. Really show no sign of slowing people feel theyre achieving anything. I think theres just a huge sense of relief that people have found the voice of 26 years of one man in charge it feels like people suddenly want to talk about politics something that was very marginal in their lives time now you have people coming up to each other as journalists talking about politics and has become part of their everyday life is not something that just happens on sundays not just on the streets i mean theres something happening in all different kinds of forms where this is going no one can say feel for it with any sense you right now but people certainly dont give the impression of being scared or being willing to just go back and stay safe sitting at home while regains control of this country ok thanks for that insight nic good to have you in vision once again nic connelly in.
