Carcase have resigned saying no blood be shed to keep him in power but International Observers fear more stability is all the way. Plus the car rams into motorcycle riders along a busy highway leaving at least one person looks like threatening injuries german prosecutors are calling it a term of time. Also in the program the Democratic Party confirms that joe biden as his choice challenged in the u. S. Election in her address his wife jill biden says. The man who can unite the nation. Hello im terry martin welcome to the Program European union does not recognize the results of the recent election in belarus that has allowed president. Go to class. And to power this from an emergency video summit a year later as the 27. 00 heads of government will pose will also impose economic sanctions on individuals they say were involved in voting prod and a crackdown on protesters. German chancellor going to michael spoke to reporters after the emergency video summit have been huge infringements against election rules these elections were not free and they were not fair and this is why we do not recognize the results of these elections together in a common message of the Member States weve said clearly that we can damage the brutal violence against the demonstrators as well as the imprisonment and use of violence exerted against thousands of belorussians we are calling for the regime of the government of mr because shanker to cease violence and the freedom of opinion and freedom to demonstrate must be guaranteed and we also called for an independent media so that people can get independent information. Chancellor merkel speaking in berlin well speaking in brussels the head of the European Commission on the alliance said the e. U. Is ready for a peaceful transition of power in belarus Funder Alliance said the force used by builders and police against opposition demonstrators was unacceptable. Today we gave them 3 clear messages. Firstly we stand by the people of belarus who won fundamental freedoms and democracy. Secondly we will sanction all those responsible for violence repression and falsified cation of the results of the election. The people of belarus took peacefully to the streets. And the authorities answered with violence and this cannot be accepted. And thirdly we are ready to accompany peaceful democratic transition of power and bellows. And its gets more and put on this. Is a member of the European Parliament from lithuania and he is the Parliament Rep or tour on better routes thank you for being with us are you satisfied with the e. U. s decision not to recognize the elections in belarus. Well good 6 all i think its it was a very timely e. U. Summit. Taking care of very good stand and clear out line. On the other im very glad it was reconfirmed thats elections recently held and now belarus free of fear and elected to do so for self elected president look illegitimate i think this is a very beginning. Very beginning that implies that more will be coming what actions do you think should now follow this position by the e. U. Again we would have to notice a very strong message by supporting could target its. Personnel and economic sanctions against to look at shankar regime its a very powerful message im afraid mr look at shankar didnt to understand its yet sense today we see again ryans and intimidation is back on the street off minsk at least. And i mean to impose those sanctions i mean not to threaten by sanctions but to start implementing and applying those sanctions as soon as possible oh it will be a very again it can message to the white public in belarus which cites the European Union which is. A set of values for which you are russians so eager to go. A standing problem so thats why the decisions are taken lets implement and see what we can zoom all you wanted to travel to belarus understand see whats happening on the ground here sell since you are the e. U. Is run our tour on that country you take it was canceled you mentioned sanctions do you think have any impression that that Alexander Lukashenko is going to be open for dialogue with the e. U. Well human rights human rights i mean hes a very smart. I mean to stay in college but for 26 years in the sense of if you are you know its not given i mean you have to invent the situation you have to manipulate minds and hearts of people by political and economic means and i want city to look for shantel was really. Intact successful to create a kind of mixture of latin america. You know dictatorships in africa mixture in should should understand its from very beginning thank you very much for your insights that was paid to us us to be just be a little mini a member of the European Parliament thank you thank you. Now in belarus itself theres no let up in public anger about the election many people are also angry about the violent crackdown faced by opposition protesters today more workers joined the general strike called for their call to push for the sake of a step down and new elections to be held any Public Sector workers usually a mainstay of official support for the machine also missed disciplinary action by walking out in a national but is not ready to talk about ending his 26 year old yet at a meeting with his Security Council he branded the oppositions actions a coup. Lets cross over to minsk now where our correspondent Nick Connolly is standing by nic e. U. Leaders today threw their weight clearly behind the demonstrators and agreed to impose sanctions on lucas shakos government is that likely to change anything in belarus. Well the thing is resolution has been under sanctions time and time again during his 26 years in power and they havent pushed him out of the position palace here in the gulf and being withdrawn years later without really doing much in return and i think that would have much the way of direct effect on his ability to exercise power what it will do it will show really strong sign to people here on the ground about the roost that europe has about the situation this country that europeans all following situation thats something you really notice here when you talk to people they are worried and keen to hear how far this situation is being followed in the rest of europe and what people think about it i think there wasnt really much more the europeans could do theyre all big youre going to russian desprez in poland and ukraine in neighboring countries if youre in your home to sit on the president ial candidate had to play. So there is some support there for these opposition groups that all operating from those neighboring countries but beyond that this this change of power if it comes will be decided on the streets of minsk and not with the help of european powers ok will Europe Clearly throwing its weight behind the protesters but russia has an interest in all this of course nic what is the kremlin saying about these latest developments. So far we havent heard any specific response to these latest decisions taken at this summit but it puts budget goods coming in a very difficult position on the one hand we have seen attempts to. Move closer to the e. U. Offer about 56 years of deep divisions of ukraine of the crimea and on bass maybe an end to some of the sanctions that have been imposed on russia now this situation better reuss really puts them into the dilemma. Russia doesnt see any real. Thing to win in case you cant get work to do so and its been made clear time time again that you can see stellar reuss as russias nearest ally nearest neighbor that he plans to integrate that you countries close into one kind of federal state so i mean the protest here that would take going to respond with russia is not something the kremlin seemingly would contemplate for now. Nick were getting reports that president lukashenko has ordered police to put down the protests in minsk is there any sign of that happening where you are. I mean theyve been doing this for the last 10 days its been a game of cat and mouse protest is and the police no central protest camp here means people coming out across the city across the country indeed not just protests but also strikes in the countrys Biggest Companies but its very clear that he is relying fully on Security Services the k. G. B. Headquarters behind me here in central minsk is crucial to the survival of his government his supporters have been absent theyve been a few progovernment demonstrations but its being pretty clear that most of the people that dont necessary want to be that have been told to go there by their employers so difficult situation here but no sense in the protest is that theyre losing hope that they get to just simply stop coming out just because hes still in power you get the people the sense talking to people here that they see this is the beginning of the end of anything.

Leaders of a military coup in the west african nation of mali say they will bring about a political transition and hold new elections within a reasonable time mollies president Ibrahim Hooper carcase to announce his resignation just hours after being detained by armed soldiers his else thing follows months of protests over corruption and economic mismanagement but while they have bent have been met budget relation inside bali they sparked a lot among International Observers. Black tuesday in bamako reads one newspaper headline mali and woke up to a new chapter in the countrys history on wednesday less than 24 hours earlier rebel military leaders force president evo him boubacar from office. For some in bamako the coupe came as a welcome surprise. To us i know we didnt expect this at all it was a surprise for everyone but since yesterday morning in any case the population has abandoned the president. To tell you the truth im very happy im very satisfied that the military intervened and really very faced. A day earlier shots are fired in celebration president cater is led away by mutinying soldiers later resigning in a broadcast he called for car. I accept their decision. Because i dont want a single drop of blood to be spilled to keep me in power is a very. Problematic cool leaders also appeared on state television vowing a transition that would lead to fresh elections. Were not keen on power but we are keen on the stability of the country which will allow us to organize general elections within a reasonable time this will allow mali to equip itself with strong institutions capable of handling our daily lives and restore the confidence between the governing and the government. Really leading up to the putsch mali has been gripped by months of antigovernment protests with many accusing cait Us Administration of corruption and incompetence especially when it came to preventing a g. Hardass insurgency from the north. While the president s resignation was celebrated by those in the streets the take of a was roundly condemned by the International Community echo was the west African Regional bloc pledged to close land and able orders to mali as a result this might feel like a deja vu for some and military coup was launched from the very same army base in 2012 toppling that then president and sending the country into a period of chaos this time around the people of mali will be hoping for a smoother transition of power but it is still unclear just who that power will be handed to. Or earlier i talked to my colleague told me. I asked him whether there is broad support in mali for this true. Well on the surface as weve seen and this images there appears to be with all these people who came who came out to the streets to welcome the military to welcome the soldiers in to bamako the capital as they went on to overthrow the president but thats just one large section we dont know about other parts of the country where there is little to no government presence some of these places are run by Armed Movement some of whom have sort of you know calmed down and not fighting as they were before so we need to hear from those parts of the country as well but generally there seems to be this support because the government has not been popular lately this coup was preceded by months of unrest you said the government was not very popular one of the main grievances behind the unrest is a whole lot i mean president. When he came in was was popular at the time but over time it seems people. Thought that he wasnt living up to his promises so this complains about corruption about nepotism about a weak institutional systems about his inability to handle the violence the jihad of valance but also the Ethnic Violence that has been happening in different parts of the country says a long laundry list and generally people just saying this government is incompetent is it clear what the coup leaders are going to do next how this is going to play out well the leaders have promised to bring in a civilian Transitional Government that they say will lead to the elections less not clear who will make up that that Transitional Government its not clear what the timeline is as well theyre talking about reason a reasonable timeframe but thats anybodys guess as to how long that is going to be of course a lot of other countries have an interest in whats going on in mali the European Union a summit today they also talk about whats going on there what about all these neighbors what are other african countries saying about whats happening there in mali i think as weve seen from elsewhere in the world the u. S. The e. U. All. Strongly condemning this school the word from echo us which is the west African Regional body has been similar theyve condemned it theyve not given it any shred of legitimacy theyve asked for restore ation of Constitutional Order one major thing is to remember that a lot of african countries have gone through this kind of thing and theyve not normally had a good outcome from it so a lot of africans looking at this will have some question about the military coming in and taking over and thats why echo has come out with a strong statement to say you know there has to be a restoration of Constitutional Order a democracy has to stand they dont want to set of the wrong precedent with this and with this event. Just a short while ago well a man has been arrested for attempted murder after a series of dangerous motorway collisions here in Berlin Germany prosecutors say the suspect was on a hunt in his car targeting motorcyclists and they are calling it a suspected attack 6 people were injured. The wreckage from tuesdays crashes was still being cleared on wednesday morning a series of collisions left 6 people injured 3 of them seriously Police Arrested the driver of this mangled black vehicle a 30 year old iraqi Asylum Seeker with temporary permission to remain in germany they believe he deliberately rammed 2 motorcycles and a car on the busy a 100 motorway running through berlin after getting out of his car witnesses say he shouted. And placed a metal box on the roof of his vehicle telling people nobody come closer or you will die police later found the box contained only 2. Investigators are exploring the possibility it was an islamist motivated attack. From the radical religious or islamist mindset which evidently lay behind and motivated these actions theres also evidence the man is psychologically unstable we are of course following that up as well hes. The motorway was closed for several hours causing major disruption police are strivers to get out of their vehicles as a precaution. Faced islamist terror attacks before such as the 2016 Christmas Market attack which left 12 people dead for now theyre left wondering whether a similar motivation was behind what happened here on tuesday evening. Now to the u. S. Where democrats have officially nominated former Vice President joe biden as the partys candidate to challenge dont trump in november well biden celebrated with his family and supporters clinching the required number of delegates on a 2 parties Online Convention speakers including bidens wife jill gave testimonials praising his parents are the nominee in itself will address the convention and a much anticipated acceptance speech all i thought. Was bring in a reporter peter whos been closely watching the convention peter day to one of the standout moments for you well it seems above all the Democratic Party finally seems to have you know agreed on a strategy to beating donald trump number one is just a very strong message of unity they want to win over voters by essentially message that was similar to the one president obama had in 2000 it was theres no blue america theres no red america theres only the United States of america the democrats have made the case that you know their party is the big tent that could be the home to every american regardless of color creed religion the other line of attack is really going after trump painting him unfit for Office Someone who only cares about himself that can be especially detrimental during this pandemic as weve seen. And the last line of attack is really biting as the empathize or in chief so everything that trump its not as a claim right so he is someone who has been through a lot of pain lost his wife his daughter his son he knows trouble he can relate and that is something that theyre really trying to play up this time around you mentioned unity the democrats are trying to pull together after a very divisive primary season do you get the sense that theyre ready to pull together and rally behind joe biden well theyre definitely trying writing so so weve seen. Full throated endorsement from really every opponent he faced during the primaries specially from Bernie Sanders who was kind of its made that very bitter rival during the primaries said but we are still seeing some of these tensions within the party on the one hand you have for instance former president bill clinton was given a 5 minute speaking slot hes a very effective speaker made a very strong case for biting but hes also someone who represents in a lot of way everything that the Democratic Party is trying to move away from his affair with Monica Lewinsky his gutting of of welfare back in the ninetys. And so you know at the same time you had alex hunter akasha cortez who is the rising star of the progressive wing of the party she only got 90 seconds most republican speakers got even more than that and that really speaks to you know the tough balancing act that biden is facing he is trying to win over voters from maybe the broadest coalition the Democratic Party has seen in decades tell us a little bit about some of the speakers there mention a couple so far but there were quite a quite a diverse range you know we saw a lot of again republicans was always oh former secretary of state colin powell also representing you know disaffected republican voters. That democrats are also banking on to to you know win the election put by an across the finish line. What were seeing really is the Democratic Party now trying to paint itself as you know everything that Trumps Republican Party is not inclusive empathetic but also a party thats willing to reach across the aisle that is a quality that biden hedged his candidacy on you know sees a lawmaker who can bring home the bacon you can who can who can really cut these deals put people over politics the big question is whether this message of unity will really resonate i mean to politically america hasnt been as divided since the civil war what uniting democrats right now is their opposition to trump the question is will that be enough to turn out enough voters on election day was on 2016 you know every vote counts peter thank you so much peter.
