The European Union has agreed to impose sanctions on senior officials in belarus silver a violent crackdown on protesters it follows a meeting of e. U. Foreign ministers in berlin president Alexander Lukashenko has been under pressure to step down since israel action this month the e. U. Says the votes was neither free nor fair. There was a political agreement among ministers to designate selected individuals responsible for their fraudulent elections in their rules and for the subsequent crackdown on that exist in the revolution sanction regime this is a nation shall include individuals at the high political level from now on the day least and the respective illegal acts will be prepared by the competitive Country Working Group in the coming days with a view to be adopted as soon as possible well the mccain of life for us now in berlin and dominic are just been hearing their fairly strong words of condemnation from the e. U. s Foreign Policy chief. Yes borel not really mincing his words and delivering a clear message to the government of president Alexander Lukashenko in minsk which is that the e. U. Is aware of what he has been doing its aware of the fact that he is not reaching out to the opposition movements in his country to discuss and you constitution a transition and that sort of thing and that as a consequence this is the view of the European Union targeted sanctions against high placed officials in his government now the point from his perspective is that he doesnt recognize that he has said that there are groups in society that hes prepared to negotiate with students collectives farmers collectives workers collectives but under no circumstances in his words will he negotiate or have a dialogue with what he calls violent thugs on the streets and he has appealed to his eastern neighbor thats president Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation for a degree of support now mr putin president putin in the kremlin has said that he is prepared to dispatch a police force to help mr lucas if the situation worsens in belarus remember also him that in one sense the European Union not having a military role cant really issue the sorts of threats as it were or use the sort of military leverage that other institutions might be able to their power is economic and its interesting that one of the things that president bush has said is that if sanctions come in retaliate and one of the easy retaliations for him is to close off access for European Union trucks and and transport goods. Losses country that would go to the Baltic States that would go to russia thats just one thing hes contemplating but clearly so far he is not contemplating the sorts of dialogue the European Union is hoping that he will ok down when it came there live in berlin thank you very much well as stockmen it was outlining there belarus of president Alexander Lukashenko has indeed threatened to mattel yes if any sanctions are imposed on his country he said he is prepared to cut off transit routes through the country and boycotts lithuanian ports things that half of the countrys army has not been ordered to go into combat ready modes in response to what shanker says are threats from the way embattled leaders says hes also listed military support from russian president Vladimir Putin a freelance journalist andrea vita vich has more now from belushis capital meant sq on the 20th day of fun to look at and to process the president has sworn the wests he wants a canny external pressure when the e.

T. M. s ukraine has also now cut off contact with the governments here so that look at center now has only russia to rely on what they were put in has promised to send a reserve police force but look also put in the military into combat ready notes ive been told by one metro driver that hes been called up to the army in the coming days because he protested after the Election Night after the rest of us to journalism thursday night it could be much harder for the media to cover future events sunday is no question because 66th birthday and protesters are planning a new rally for what they call peace and independence there are also fears though of a russian invasion. Germanys foreign minister says there will be diplomatic consequences for russia if its proven that Opposition Leader alexina volney was poisoned as part of a state initiated murder attempts russian Opposition Leader legs in a volley of still in a coma after a suspected poisoning last week but the Bergen Hospital where he is recovering says his condition is improving lets go live to moscow and speak with alexandra story janowicz good for xander can you tell us more about what we know about the condition of the legs in of only. Well you know why he is a still in medically induced coma. To we know now is that his condition although its still very serious there is no longer tracks to his life that was taken by his friend secretary. Said that he is slightly improving or that the symptoms of intoxication with the inhibitors of coronets their eyes are receding but no one can predict how long he will be recovering or what will be the consequences of poisoning in these news also the headquarters of him on square he was taken 1st to the hospital r. T. For the plane they are saying that it is a shame to where anybody that is trying to hide what is what is the what happens to him and also questioning why that is so still no criminal investigation open in the case of these poisoning as they say they do hope that mr putin and also a circle surrounding him will be that ascension since they strongly believe that. The oath or it is a graphic of their behind. As they say a poisoning so they have no doubt that it is poison in the highly while moscow is still a firmly holding but that this is not actually proven that there is no conclusive evidence that there cannot be claim no investigation so were still dealing here with a pretty investigative pro no criminal investigation open and today there is an initiative coming from a tree opposition members in the moscow city to what they are asking for is there so Russian Security service open investigation as an attempt on the life of the public or political figure well this is hardly. Not going to its not going to have. Your vision stands and stands there is no. Open the criminal investigation and i wouldnt be surprised even even toxins but still stands would be but its not and we cannot claim was there have been previous cases ok alexandra good for speaking to us from moscow thank you and your leaders also spoke about the situation in the Eastern Mediterranean where there is a standoff between turkey and you Member States grace theyre looking at discussing the idea of preparing sanctions against turkey at a meeting next month germanys foreign minister said that constructive dialogue is the way i. Durkee has to abstain from unilateral actions this is a basic element to allow the dialogue to advance but we want to find path towards a healthier relationship in the mutual interest both the libyan union and turkey for this reason we must walk a fine line which in preserving a true space for dialogue and at the same time showing collectivist trances in the defense of our common interests. Brings us all the latest from istanbul. So far of course since this is a very 1st statement from a top diplomat we have no reactions coming from the turkish capital ankara yet but i must say that on camera has been repeating itself because they believe that it is the situation it is the same situation for decades between turkey and greece when it comes to the border dispute for instance yesterday Turkish Defense minister who sarkar spoke live on a t. V. Show and he said that turkey is open to dialogue and they want everything to be transparently discussed thats why they have no fear about discussing the issues but to come to a solution which also turkey wants to come at. The problems all of the problems must be addressed and so this is what the Turkish Defense minister said despite all those flexing the muscles in the warders military. Exercises or maritime trainings with live fire these seem to be diplomacy over the waters between the 2 countries. They want to come to come around the table for instance a couple of weeks ago turkish president said that there must be a solution in the Eastern Mediterranean where all parties can benefit from so basically turkey says lets negotiate lets have a win win there but we have problems with greece in the agency based on the status of the islands there are thousands of islands in the agency which basically caused the main dispute between the 2 countries when it comes to territory when it comes to the exclusive Economic Zones but 1st those problems must be resold this is what turkey says but according to graze for instance the territorial water issue territorial water is not an issue it has been all of the declared to the u. N. And 2 countries have already agreed on that.
