Conspiracies. Im off its good to have you with us we start tonight in belle ruse and some dramatic developments in the mystery about what has happened to leading opposition figure Maria Kolesnik over kolesnik over went missing on monday sparking intense speculation about her whereabouts seen authorities released these pictures they say that they detained kolesnik while she was trying to escape across the border into ukraine now into opposition members who were with her in that car i have spoken now providing some dramatic new detail us. Are for the details im joined now by resnick aman a journalist in the capital minsk she has more on that is good to have you on the program so what did these associates of kolesnik over what did they say what happened. Well the. Executive secretary and the press secretary they told the story of how they were. Forced to go to the crane and they told that my area of where it was also for us to go she resisted to go and on the yellowstone Ukrainian Border she tore a passport so she couldnt be in another country and just walked away and. Now. 2 men basically just went to the ukraine still and. They say she was probably detained and you were looking at pictures now from the British Press conference of those 2 associates of hers when they gave that information today do we have any information about the whereabouts of Maria Kolesnikov but. This is very complicated the border coming to say that they contrarians be detained on my way or kolesnik are on the Ukrainian Border but they deny and to give any purpose or information about her location or reason of detention and about to press secretary of miami as kolesnik arrest so they have information that she can be at the. Border of divisions near the town was there which is which is close to the Ukrainian Border we know that a number of opposition activists they have been forced to leave the country or theyve simply disappeared is this weakening the Opposition Movement in the roost. Well you know you need to understand the process not arcanite by kolesnikov by all anyone else of course the opposition politician they take part in this demonstrations. By the end of clear political leaders so. The people with the protest will go on. Just just just like that is there is no concern of consequence of the consequences of this is there concern that these protests will continue and reach a point where the president. Will then ask russia to send in its military. Well there is now heres here the demonstrate their protest so they only one for crushing got to go so they just. Go on the streets and thats all they want ok resnick of joining us tonight the latest from minsk nice to thank you thank you. In the latest protest in the belarus in capital minsk over the weekend around 600 people were arrested Police Brutality has been a feature of this crackdown 2 victims have been speaking about what they experienced. Peaceful protesters call on the police to join the riot officers react with the torrent of violence. Scenes that have played out almost nightly in belo russias fiery summer of revolt. Whose book of the coming coup has seen and experienced the washed of it too graphic for us to show. The case to be a collection of what they know little about the soul the bellary. Im blows rained on me from all of them they started to beat me right here. The coat of arms has become a potent symbol of the uprising that has seen thousands summarily our breast and. Hundreds kicked punched and tortured. Me and you mean even threats of rape. Only at the go the policeman turned my head so i could see them and he began theatrically putting a condom on a baton. And while doing it he told me that i have about 5 seconds to see my password from my phone but it. Wont go that far but i wouldnt want to live for the human Rights Groups say there are at least 500 active complaints of Police Torture among them not a Computer Program of law to me a rich. The epochal of the company i asked to call my lawyer and another policeman suddenly kicked me in the belly with the sunni i was standing in has been position so i felt in my belly very well but then i got another 5 cakes and you know it which you could afford. To justice for the victims is unlikely throughout these protests belushis president Alexander Lukashenko has preached state security forces. Are lets get a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world the moscow has summoned the german ambassador over berlin statements about the poisoning of russian Opposition Leader alexei of all germany has warned that it could end in support of the nord stream to gas pipeline if russia fails to investigate the poisoning german doctors treating of all he say that he was poisoned with a soviet era nerve agent sudan has declared a 3 month state of emergency after record floods with more than 100 people dead and destroyed thousands of homes rising water levels in the mile river also putting the countrys historical sites at risk. Wildfires are continuing to rip through parts of california for a 4th day in a row authorities believe one blaze was started by fireworks at a private party temperatures in the state have reached extreme highs of 49 degrees celsius hampering efforts to control the flames. All around the world many people are coming down with a case of coronavirus fatigue some who reject to government regulations or even making their outrage public for example here in germany mass protests have erupted of these skeptics now find themselves marching alongside right wing agitators and conspiracy theories the w. News met a man who took part in the recent berlin demonstration he says hes an ordinary citizen who just questions the science not a political extremists. About you know was at that big demonstration against the coronavirus measures here at the earliest Brandenburg Gate hes 50 years old lives with his family in berlin and does freelance work in advertising. Frank does not believe that the corona virus is especially dangerous he says the infection numbers are low and that coronavirus mortality rates are similar to those of influence or he feels the restrictions are excessive speed. If i go somewhere to eat i have to leave my address behind and it makes no sense if i get up to use the toilet or i have to wear a mask as Everybody Knows these totally absurd regulations that i think are in themselves pointless based on a theory that actually doesnt justify this. Thousands of people demonstrated in central girl in against the policies to tackle coronavirus such as social distancing and masks black friday protesters question the Science Behind them. In the way that were all alive because weve worn masks is simplistic thinking. Think thats something we should have left behind after the age of 5 or 6 its as if we were to say someones wearing red jim sugars and has a headache and then i stand there and say oh man ill go read gym shoes calls headaches. Frank describes himself as a democratic citizen for him the people protesting the coronavirus measures come from all walks of life. As if you can mention. These people stand for democracy for freedom and so on i found it all very peaceful it was a very peaceful demonstration it was a huge gigantic and it showed me that there were many many people who think this way you see things similarly to me. We need stream this groups among the demonstrators called for the German Parliament building to be stormed. A few 100 radicals breached the barriers and got to the steps of the bundestag symbolic. Images that made the news around the world the entire coronavirus demonstration was tainted by this action frank says that he had nothing to do with it. This president decide to distance myself from any kind of violence i distance myself from any kind of raj wing extremist ideology he doesnt appeal to me. But does it not bother him the far right radicals also took part in the demonstration to follow and for that if it was a handful of people what else can i say imagine that youre running a train and are running radical gets on to get off the train as. I did this. Frank but now says he accepts that his protests will be joined by right wing extremists he says that one stop him from attending the next demonstration in berlin. Are for some analysis of this im joined by groups from holds hes a policy analyst at the open Society European policy institute here in germany its good to have you on the program do you or let me ask you another way how do you explain the thinking of people like frank wagner that we just saw in that report. I believe that if we take a look at all the groups we see a lot of dissimilarities but if we take a closer look we see a lot of similarities in terms of an attitude that people very often think that they are on the right side of history and fighting some kind of conspiracy or some kind of elite in society and this is something inherent in many of the groups attending those demonstrations whether its back sign activists if its at the q. And then even if its people who just dont want to wear a mask there is a parent mistrust towards the government the state and our democracy and this is something that unites them and this is something that brings them on the street because theyre fighting for something they believe them so why are political leaders in and able to convince people like frank wagner that that theyre telling the truth and that people can trust the. We are very quickly in the realm of conspiracy theories and Conspiracy Theory a conspiracy theories are a closed hemisphere where you just believe in the information you are seeking by yourself youre not really willing to get outside information because theres immediately in this trust to want that information so in many cases the government can do whatever you want you can be this transparent it whatever it wants but it will never reach people who are enclosed in their own ideological thinking. Extremist right wing movements for example they see what is happening and theyre trying to use these protests to further their calls and organizers they really havent taken a firm line against these far right extremists so what kind of dangers do you you see that in this approach is almost as if theyre tolerating the presence of neo nazis marching beside them thats exactly the issue that ive been pointing out in the last few weeks we have the situation when they 1st began the protests it was ok just a bunch of people are going on the streets having the right to go on the streets and thats right police so. Now we have the situation that right when extreme as a hijacking those demonstrations what happened at the stairs of the high stock that was an accident that was planned from the long hand in the weeks of propaganda telling the people you have to storm the right stock and people just followed it and they are ok and fortunately were ok with that thats missed from of them fortunately were out of time thank you thank you thank you for watching. Combating the corona pandemic. Where does research stand. What are scientists learning. Background information and news. Hour carona update. Covert 19 special next on d w. Every day counts for us and for our planet. The ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. How do we see the screen. How can we protect our tests. We can make a difference. The idea is the environmental series of little 3000 w. Pregnancy is a stressful time for any expectant mother was even more true now because of the pandemic pregnant women could be at greater risk of developing serious side effects from coverage 19 but theres still much experts dont know about how the virus affects mothers and how its transmitted to babies some women have been refused medical care or actively stayed away from hospitals fearing confection is that im suffering from cope at 19 i was just diagnosed in the past hospital and they refused to treat me. Birth control and Family Planning services have fallen down the list of Health Care Priorities during the pandemic thats meant to search an unplanned pregnancies and life altering decisions for many young women. Are covered 19 pandemic is creating unexpected side effects around the world and malawi a huge spike in teen pregnancies is being blamed on virus related School Closures human rights organizations say the government isnt doing enough to protect the girls welfare dont we use else into garra reports. A group of mothers of be making regular home visits providing guidance to young girls like 17 year old in. She leaves them alone in a village she feels for married man who promised are a smartphone and food which turned out to be empty promises now shes pregnant. You know when you when i was in school i used to have a lot of problems because my family is poor and i could not have so body lotion clothing or food and my mother failed to 10 for us children and so i was having sex and eventually got pregnant. Hes a saying she did not know but the man hes married and has 2 children unfortunately she never used birth control. And came in that way i was aware of Family Planning methods but my schoolmates deceived me they said using contraceptives would make me unable to have children so when the man proposed to me we had sex and he got me pregnant. Are outraged parents since. Hamas age. And hard baby them because in this was a big blow to my family my poor entire pregnancy is an added burden that i couldnt handle when coming here one like you im enjoying the district has stepped up its efforts to reduce teenage pregnancies it fears more teenage girls would get pregnant without proper messaging about Family Planning and the schools are not open so on. We are barely starting with the increased number of think big my feet but we know that we will abolition that we have with different the court as we came in did the review before. According to figures from the National Helpline on the Regional Department of social welfare teenage pregnancies in the district have 3 board one reason bought into care it seems like some of their. Dignitas was reading tims awful. Psychosocial support the girls. In their education or the us of no schools. We believe that there could be disruption was one of the people that are writing these 6 reproductive will say this is for young people. No. Case is all they present themselves as people think thats all we actually think that these it is that all these serious is before schools closed it is a week to hard to blast to achieve our dreams of becoming a teacher but should be means determined to continue our education despite all the obstacles. To burn actually and this isnt the end of my aspirations after i have the baby ill do my best to go back and finish school. Doesnt want to be one of the many young girls in malawi who get married before the age of 20 and she has lent our beetlejuice on and hopes to bring her dreams back to life. Well lets speak to a need to make in this from the International Federation of obstetricians and gynecologists thanks for joining us what do we know about the impact of 19 is having on unwanted pregnancies. So then i mean this is a very serious situation a prediction is that about Something Like 48000000 women wont have access to contraceptive methods. This could lead to something between 7 and 15000000 unintended pregnancies lowed lived so you can imagine this will create huge. Health systems. Across the world and an increasing number of unsafe abortions that show this isnt unprecedented there is it to mean youve been researching the effect of the voter outbreak in parts of africa or on Family Planning one of you learned from looking at that outbreak that we can apply now this is when we look at what happened in west africa during the every african during the early academic. People start accessing health so this isnt what they considered to be nonessential and so the name so kind of compartments went down for example in guinea by about 2000 and its take a Family Planning methods also went down by about 2 things during the epidemic and then sending only added liberia by half by 50 percent and in sierra leone by about a quarter and so the impact of that in the long run was then very very serious and what about in the case of coronavirus looking beyond africa where there are already problems but what about in hiring come countries of the lower Income Countries around the world. Yes similarly our expectations over what has been happening what weve been hearing on the great fire really is that. Women are trying not to Access Health services that they can consider nonessential and so the uptake of contraceptive methods is has gone down the other thing that happened in high Income Countries is that there was for example in the u. K. A shift staffan closing down services and active so this is all services that were considered not essential like Sexual Health so Sexual Health clinic closed as a test off and go work on the cope it was and g. P. s not seeing people face to face doing 10 minutes in consultations limited really and womens access to contraception and so we will be seeing the fallout of that no doubt 9 months from now and were talking about millions potentially of extra births as a result of this a noticeable increase in the global population. Yes so so the estimation is between 7. 00 to 15000000. 10 extra unintended pregnancies both wind and obviously a Different Countries different proportions but and in countries with Health Systems that struggle to cope with the workload they have at the moment that is very serious and it will set his back in terms of the progress that has been made and we look at Sustainable Development goals and the improvements in health pettit that have been seen in Womens Health and enjoying the millennium Development Goals who are going back in time with that so its a really really laurie is there anything being done to avoid that or at least to mitigate. Yeah so so can i should i work full weve been working very hard we put together a Section Committee put together a statement looking at specific things that could be done to try to mitigate this. One of the ideas for example this is that we will continue to use for example women coming to give birth generally will continue to come to hospital to get beth although thats not true all over the globe asemi and many countries that will continue to happen said that these women should then be able to Access Services that they wouldnt be able to wouldnt want to use those as a contraception they may think that actually we should be printing contraception contraception senses into Maternal Health and so really becomes have a baby people told her about will contraceptive method she she would want and that she gets that method before she leaves hospital and if you use a lot of x. Emacs like the post in true you trying to devise a difficulty all or in plan then youre looking at having contraception for 3 to 5 to even 10 years and so there isnt any to keep coming back to Hospital Clinics so in that sense you know really safe and a golden opportunity to offer this health is that otherwise theyre finding how to access i suppose its to some extent about making the most of those encounters with these women when they do encounter Health Care Workers need to make ends from the International Federation of obstetricians and gynecologists thanks a lot for joining us thank you. And now its time for one of your questions to ask science correspondent Derek Williams this one comes from a you tube user corning themselves motion leda one presumably watching us from afar. When will not ask to no longer be needed at. This largely theoretical question i think is worth thinking about even though there is no end in sight to the pandemic the issue of Wearing Masks has polarized people in some countries at least partly due to the fact that despite a huge amount of study in the field nobody has been able to pin down a concrete number on just how much they actually help and and how could studies reflect the real world anyway i mean were all wearing different kinds of masks often haphazardly either abiding by or not abiding by a lot of Different National rules there does however now seem to be a general acceptance by the majority in most places that mass help at least some if theyre worn properly and in societies like here in germany where widescale mask wearing was was unthinkable just 6 months ago theyre now just a part of daily life when you go to the store or when you get on public transport the thing is after working so hard to get people to accept them i think that governments will be slow to say that masks are no longer needed at some point in other words theres no way to tell how long well need to wear them theres theres just predicting what has to happen before governments are willing to relax guidelines and my hunch is that at this point most governments wont be willing to do that until safe and effective vaccine start keeping infection rates under control i personally predicts that well still be Wearing Masks. At least in some settings until that least the middle of 2021 of course thats one of these cases where id be really happy if my prediction proved wrong. As our science correspondent Eric Williams if you want to submit a question for him you can do so through you tube channel thats all from us about. The kickoff of the taking a clear stance against racism. How important is it. We talk to a soccer referee a club president. And a professional basketball player. They are taking action against taking on and off the court and soccer pitch. Kickoff. To d. W. Where the real talent resides. Re i come from there not to people in fact more than a breed in the future but not just democracy to me thats one reason why im passionate about people and aspirations and they can sense. The television the book is right here in violence after the for the fun in born and remember thinking at the time if the blonde in broken forward anything can happen if people come together and unite for a cool. When i do the news i often confront a difficult situation with more conflict being discussed down i see despite my job to confront a good leader as an policies and development to put the spotlight and issues that matter most tongues up to secure. Precious martian isolation. Not chance to achieve so much money feed on and i think people have to be Accountable Solutions my name is on me and i walk into the delta. I do government. Business with what is out. On my company i never thought this was more. 1000000. Dollars so you know i was doing the kinds of a similar to that kind of stuff. Are good threats to my wife
