The n. B. A. Says its hard for the playoffs will resume in the next 48 hours on wednesday there was a play a war council in protest of the Police Shooting of wisconsin residents. Below the head of nato and polands Prime Minister her virtue russia not some meddle in the crisis in bellerive this after Vladimir Putin sent his clearest signal yes that hes ready to use force to support the bene president russias president said a reserve police force has been set up to help Alexander Lukashenko but will only be deployed if the unrest spins out of control they have been asked for. Across the country since lukashenko declared another overwhelming victory in the election just over 2 weeks ago his opponents say it was rigged the claims western countries are waging a diplomatic war to exploit instability well earlier Police Detained 50 journalists as they prepared to cover the latest protest in minsk or where most have now been released Reuters News Agency says their telephones and identity documents were confiscated the interior ministry denied anyone was detained saying they were driven to a Police Station to check they had valid accreditation journalists on very vital shares in minsk and witnessed what happened. At the moment im actually just in front of the cold station where around 30 journalists say came today before the process actually. B didnt roll concert on but also for intro months from a. B. C. Built surveillance and a. P. The voters will be can clearly say the turtle is being targeted again because the. L a leader was short period over you know for a vote overall around the piece to their most recent said today tonight once again be sold the ready power that they have for it is. 3 taking the the ground the control on the ground and one of the journalists called a journalist who was detained tonight in full handsomely bernard 30 minutes the journalists from sweden wont produce fruits of that are so he can clearly see the journalists. Who couldnt work and probably wont be able to work properly in the mix they removed. Them off of the president ial election all right well for more on this we canal speaks of oil shale an issue hes an assistant professor of Political Science at the Massachusetts Institute of technology and is originally from that of a sense you can see he joins us live now via skype thanks for being with us on the program how likely is it do you think the president putin will choose to directly intervene in belarus. Hi. I mean you put in his most recent statement as a warning so this is a warning that is pro really signaling to the e. U. To stay away signaling to broader stairs to stay away and i believe that you know that if that came as a statement the deployment is likely only of produce spin out of control is an important element certainly. Encouraging quick career in the sings a spinning out of control but that is also perhaps not in his interest so what can i do if he doesnt intervene directly and doesnt send in this police force which you know he said he set up but hes not going to send in unless the process get worse what could he do indirectly or what might he do it directly to help because its so in their act help from russia is indeed the most likely scenario so for instance. Russia crude in for continue to contribute to the spread of misinformation about the protests it could keep signaling because one of the the signals is that again targeting the protesters was a warning that had if that may be the best outcome for them is to go home and prevent russian intervention. I believe in direct support assurance do a question assurance to the Security Forces and. Might be some of the approaches russia critic can look at actually hang on to power without some help from russia where do you see the situation heading right now. So this is certainly difficult to predict i think the. Behavior actually signals his weakness because if you remember ahead of the election he was warning about russias intervention to distend will as the situation and that he seems to have switched. The targets and huge warning about the west western intervention so where i see this heading is i think that question because power will continue weaken in though his exit in the near future is unlikely. And how much do you think depends on whether those protests as in better result for peds to continue to go ill sell into the streets. I think that. It depends on that not so much the protesters who are willing to go out but also the massive strikes that have started happening. Were often washed by the regime. And it probably depends on the general feeling among the biller seen society that the power is stooping and aggression is increasingly diligent and i sed i think more depends on the behavior of the Security Forces and they are certainly influenced by more than the people in the streets really great to get your analysis thats for your childish joining us there from boston thank you.

Aljazeera is john hendren is live in connection at the scene all of the shooting we know theres been a large influx of police from outside how has that affected the process and of course the Property Damage that weve been seeing over the past few hours. Well it really had in effect after those hundreds and hundreds of troops descended on can no shia overnight from wednesday to thursday it was relatively quiet all of this damage you see here at this used car lot occurred on the 1st day of the protests and every night since we have seen looting and fires and fire bombing of buildings in one night 37 different buildings were set on fire but overnight from wednesday to thursday we have few reports of anything like that it seems that the broad influx of federal state and police from other agencies and the National Guard has really quieted this city there simply werent enough officers to control the streets for the 1st few nights of these protests now for the 1st 24 hours it seems like police finally controlled the streets or john what is the latest news on the white teenager whos accused of killing those 2 protest. Well his names Kyle Rittenhouse hes 17 years old and hes from across the border in illinois and according to a video in which he spoke about why he came here before the shootings that night he said that he was here to protect stores and he was carrying his rifle because he had to protect himself but the video that we see this is another viral video shows a man presumably him knocked down to the ground getting up and then firing on protesters hitting 3 of them and according to Police Killing 2 and injuring one but then he just walked out hands up past police wasnt arrested till the next day he now faces 1st degree murder charges but we are told from the family of jacob blake the black man who was shot by police who shooting started all of this that he now lies in a hospital bed paralyzed by Police Bullets and yet he is handcuffed to the bed itself this is drawn outrage across the u.

A state of emergency has been declared in the us city of minneapolis off the violent protests that on wednesday the demonstrations followed the death of a black suspect the police say shot himself the states governor says the National Guard will be deployed in the city minneapolis has been in the same set of process since may when george floyd died of to place officer on his neck. Benjamin crump is jacob blakes lawyer at he also represents the families of George Floyd Brianna take all black americans who were killed by police he says protest as angry at the lack of action by the authorities i think that their reaction very emotional because its very difficult to rule and this is their use of Excessive Force on a young black man who owes no 3 as he tries to walk away from you and burbling. Anyone but he was shot 7 times in the back in front of his 3 little boys who are yours no 5 years ago 3 years ago were of the more you hear the police. Justify the unjustifiable actions that they have taken and so thats why its called a really. On civil rights community. Matter because even the National Basketball association it may do very sprawl everybody is really about this so have a look because im out in the in the reaction or. No lines within the white house that ministry should concentrate now all we have to have a law are to you know we cant have violence. Only by. Sure wisconsin. Who. Do you 7 times in the. White supremacist. To blur. The u. S. Democratic Vice President ial nominee has launched a preemptive strike on President Donald Trump ahead of his big speech to wrap up the Republican Convention come a house condemned his response to the coronavirus pandemic which has now killed more than 180000 people in the u. S. But 1st she spoke about the Police Shooting of jacob blake in kind of a shift saying america must fulfill the promise of equal justice the reality is that the life of a black person in america has never been treated as fully human and we have yet to fulfill that promise of equal justice under law when a White House Correspondent kelly how can join us now live so kimberly setting you know out attack on president trouble but what were the key themes of his speech a couple harris really hit donald trump hard when it comes to his handling of covert 19 the fact there are now 180000. 00 americans that have died what she said is that there were many missteps that happened very early on that cost the lives of so Many Americans that could have been prevented she also said that he doesnt seem to understand the presidency that essentially its all about him and as a result Americans Health and safety was harmed a pandemic is unforgiving if you get it wrong at the beginning the consequences are catastrophic. And its very hard to catch up you dont get a 2nd chance at getting it right well president. He got it wrong from the beginning and then he got it wrong again and again now in addition to the speech by the democratic Vice President ial nominee before donald trump makes his speech to accept his partys nomination the Democratic Party has also purchased ad space on all the major t. V. Networks in the United States this 2 bit adver will have a number of themes it will question Donald Trumps fitness for the job his handling of issues including coke that night and it will also make the case that only joe biden is able to overcome the moment that the United States finds itself in right now so the democrats have certainly hit donald trump hard in advance of his acceptance speech the tone very much set expect donald trump to come back fighting as well potentially Even Stronger yeah exactly i mean what sort of themes do you think President Trump is going to use in this keynote speech later on tonight and will be hashing reacts do you think to call the house a speech. Well what were watching very carefully for what hes been challenged to do by the Democratic Party is whether or not he will specifically say the name of jacob lake the 29 year old man killed by police in wisconsin so far what weve seen is the Vice President speaking about the end rest very broadly so the question will become whether the president will do the same so thats one thing that people are watching very carefully for but we know that this is going to be very much a speech that will hit hard when it comes to the record of joe biden and his record of Public Service for more than 4 decades what is going to say is that hes greek that he has outsourced jobs that americans essentially in the eyes of the Republican Party believe that that americans will not be safe under a job biden presidency and that he is nothing more than a front they say for an extreme marxist agenda one more extreme than any other president ial nominee in u. S. History now the other key theme that we expect the president hit on will be the issue of safety and School Choice now why is he hitting those 2 issues hard well it comes down to who may decide this election felicity what we expect is that the president is going to push very hard as weve seen all week for that all important female vote particularly among White Working Class women in the suburbs of the United States the president has been losing support in that key demographic and expect that hell make a push for those voters as he speaks to accept his partys Nomination Committee how could live there in washington thank you.

Turkey has extended its controversial Mediterranean GasExploration Mission and ordered new life on navy drills as its disputes with greece steepens at the heart of the dispute is the areas undiscovered Energy Reserves which could be a treasure trove of oil and gas both countries have been holding military drills near an area of sea they both claim and the Greek Parliament has now ratified a maritime boundary deal with egypt which turkey says it produces on its own territory so of course here who has more not from istanbul. When it comes to turkeys. Operations. In the. Mediterranean the defense minister who said that we are doing all our facilities in the in the area that is over the defined turkey has submitted its cordon its to the u. N. 20 years ago and the latest one was back in 2090 according to the u. N. The law of the convention the u. N. Doesnt assign you any borders its not like continental territory or land territory or the water territory case is different so it gives you some it defined to. Some definitions but it is up to the 2 countries to decide and come to a solution so actually this is a by literally. Problem between turkey and greece that they have to agree on a fair share of rights and resources this is what the Turkish Foreign minister defense minister has been saying that but he said everybody must know that if there is a threat coming from those territories against turkey we will be defend defending ourselves and we are kept mainly what turkey has been rather it is actually its 3rd parties being involved like france and the u. A. E. Because it turkey says that military exercises and Maritime Training exercises even a what if i live life fires are conducted within turkeys territorial waters but herman his foreign minister has called for an end to military drills in the Eastern Mediterranean as the e. U. Tries to defuse those tensions between greece and turkey. We will see how things develop at the end of this month where the ships will move to and we will also work here to create the conditions for turkey and greece to solve their problems directly with each other and to do Everything Possible to avoid military confrontation and as there is on a cane has more now from berlin thats where the Foreign Ministers have been discussing the dispute.

The secretary general of nato who said specifically that precisely that that dialogue and deescalation all the ways out of this particular di lemma but the problem in so far as the e. U. Is concerned is that turkey is not part of the e. U. And yet it is very important to the e. U. Remember that the deal between the turkish government and the e. U. Regarding refugees is a central plank of policy its something that matters particularly here in this capital city in berlin and so clearly where possible the e. U. Wants to remain on very good terms with the turkish government but then equally it has to remember that 2 Member States of the e. U. Greece and cyprus also have a vested interest in whats going on in the Eastern Mediterranean which again is why what theyve been really urging here is dialogue and deescalation specifically that came to from angle americal who said shes particularly concerned about how things are unfolding in the Eastern Mediterranean record floods in seattle and have killed at least 86. 00 people destroyed thousands of homes that are now threatening residents in the capital it is the 1st time floodwaters are spilled over into major roads in cutting the average level of the blue nile has crossed 17 meters the highest since it all started measurements back in 112 more than 18000 homes have been destroyed and water levels are expected to rise further a controversial down but ethiopia has built on the plane a lot is expected to help control floods in the future.
