Of 0 step bussin joins us now live from minsk step what reason has she given for getting out of the country. Yet adrian it was a very dramatic statement i thought not. Basically period she told all her supporters that she made a fairly fairly difficult decision to leave the country she said i hope youre never going to be in the situation that i am right now and she hopes people will understand that she said people will also hate me and condemn me for this decision but you set no lives are worth this situation at all so she sets a call to know people to stay safe because shes very worried i actually spoke to her at length before the election and she already looks very very scared and also said she is really not up to it its a very difficult situation of course in baton rouge theres a lot of pressure on her from the author of peace shes been scared to her she was being threatened her children were threatened to be taken away from her she took her children already out of the country before the election and thousands of chosen for my children and ive joined them now in lithuania so its a very dramatic turn of events here because of course the thousands of hundreds of thousands of people here are waiting for her messages and what has been the reaction from president Alexander Lukashenko to the ongoing process people of course insisting that these elections were massively richt. Well the president has Just Announced again that this will be a serious crackdown that he will be aggressively with any protesters he has called them like young people only and he has said that they are being dictated from abroad so basically playing the whole 2 to ation here which is very different if youre actually on the ground for the last days ive seen people from all walks of life 1 older people young people families even going to the street late at night to make sure that they have their voice heard the the voice that they said has not been reflected in the Election Results that said that look at shanghai has won with more than 80 percent of the vote they all call this observer so they taking to the streets also at the moment as we speak the 5 people gathering protesting at a big Detention Center here in minsk because of styles of people have been detained during these protests a lot of people have not been heard also they go to the relatives dont know where they are so they are at this dissention center asking for any explanation the old heard that theyre facing serious criminal charges so this is an ongoing situation and its doesnt look like this is going to go away even after she has left the country al jazeera step boston reporting live from minsk separte thanks very. Lebanons Prime Minister and president s were warned by Security Officials last month about the explosive material stored in a report that caused last weeks blast documents seen by the Reuters News Agency say that leaders were told the Ammonium Nitrate posed a Security Risk and could destroy the capital if it exploded it comes as Lebanons Parliament now has to decide on a new Prime Minister after house on the bananas that he and his government would step down the session follows widespread public fury the blast killed more than 200 people injured thousands of others or left hundreds of thousands of people homeless lets go live now to beirut i was here as but it smith is the bare bone of where are you whats whats happening. Age and this is the mama calle district one of the main nightlife and areas as well as home to thousands and thousands of people and these are its back streets its main street and back street destroyed this is another building hit by the shock wave where volunteers have been clearing out really since last wednesday one of them walid. Walid you came from the backyard 2 hours away. Plus. Constable beirut. Today we are coming from because the google volunteers. Resistance just volunteer in front of cleaning and helping people in both to overcome this hard to breaking glass and what do you think of of what you have seen what what do you think about what youve seen what what what did you feel when you say we feel a story about this nice city. And nothing as it is we. We go through these 3 its people walking gun people going on nothing harder than normal people i think will leave lebanon other countries to have a good life. Where are you staying when you come to beirut are you going back to the back. With the buses and then no we eat and then we go back to recover fully the government the Prime Minister and the cabinet has as resigned what do you think about that what whats the difference. That this what happens is because i were government. If our government was good for people under scrutiny for a vote of the citizens i think. This those of. Us of nitrates in the port of biarritz while it for the moment thank you very very much for your time the anger. The expressing here articulated by walid is that the warnings about the Ammonium Nitrate were multiple over many many years and as we heard from the reuters report only a couple of weeks before the explosion the president and the Prime Minister were given yet another warning that if that Ammonium Nitrate was moved it could destroy the city prophecy came true im from a 3 kilometer radius from outside the port was flattened so that is why people are so angry not only why hes here moaning nitrate that but they knew the parties knew it was there they knew how dangerous it was a multiple multiple warnings were ignored agent but of what happens now about. The process of choosing a new Prime Minister and government. Well there are now negotiations going on the current Prime Minister and his cabinet are caretaker Prime Minister and cabinet and there has to be a new one approved appointed by the government or the challenge is this the current one is dominated by hezbollah and its allies has been isolated internationally and the International Donors who hold the key to unlocking the billions of dollars that beirut needs reconstruction do not want to give money to a cabinet dominated by hezbollah and its allies macron has said in french president assad he wants some sort of unity government the problem is that the opposition has in the past miscues to work with the current has ball or dominated administration have to be some negotiations maybe behind the scenes that well find out about because its only some sort of National Unity government that will unlock the money that lebannon needs.

This is the news are from aljazeera still to come on the program. We. Will have the details on the shooting that interrupted the u. S. President s latest briefing on covert 19. United against science will take a look at whats driving the movement in germany against coronavirus restrictions. In sports womens tennis returns to the United States is the 1st grand slam since the coronavirus pandemic i just closer and it will be here with that for the rest of the race. Chinas top legislative body has voted to extend the current of Hong Kongs Legislative Council by a year hong kong was due to hold elections this all some have now been postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic of prodemocracy activists say that thats a pretext to stop people from voting several opposition candidates have been barred from running for office lets go live to Hong Kong Aljazeera is adrian brown is there for us a very whats been the reaction there in hong kong to this this postponement this move by year at this vote. Well a. J. What happens is when the Hong Kong Government you know hits a sort of political roadblock they tend to seek help from the Standing Committee of the National Peoples congress in beijing which is the most important political body in china now what happened is that when kerry land decided to postpone elections here in hong kong for another year citing co that 19 that meant there was potentially going to be a political vacuum here in hong kong in other words what was going to happen to the Current Parliament so what happened is that the committee basically decided on choose day to extend the current term of the Hong Kong Parliament for another year what is less clear adrian is whether a number of incumbent opposition legislators who were disqualified by Election Officials because of this new National Security law will indeed be able to continue in the extended parliament it seems that the National Peoples congress may well have left it to Hong Kong Government to decide what to do with these that is the latest that means they might have to sort of issue some new form of oath of allegiance to the Hong Kong Government so its not totally clear but what is clear in a sense is that you know the the the National Peoples congress could have said you know these legislators will remain despaired but they didnt and that might mean that this is a sop to the United States of that perhaps trying to mollify the u. S. Government ahead of the president ial elections in november and adrian whats the latest on the arrest of the media tycoon of the activist jimmy lie. Well he did an overseas force to do another pope perp walk before you know the media today before he was taken to a marina in the cycling area of hong kong not quite clear why police took in there but i think what was obvious to many people is that the police were trying to show on the one hand that theyre trying to be very transparent following the arrest of jimmy lie but at the same time its perhaps the police trying to demonstrate to their political masters in beijing that look your new wonderful National Security law is working very well here in hong kong theres still a lot of unease and i have to say a good deal of shock over the events on monday many people are concerned that we might be seeing perhaps the beginning of a new political purge people are asking whos going to be next would it be people like josh wurman the young prodemocracy warrior who is known you know internationally will it be people like martin lee the the grandfather of hong kong democracy are they going to be the next people to receive a knock on the door we have to remember the jimmy law is facing potentially being charged under this National Security law you havent been charged as yet he was arrested on suspicion of colluding with foreign powers now under the National Security law its quite clear that you know if someone is involved in the activities with a foreign power or touching on areas of defense then if you are charged under the National Security law for those reasons you could potentially be tried on the mainland that we dont know whether thats going to happen and we also dont know in any detail adrian what the case is against jimmy lie and we may not know actually what the details of the case against him are once hes put on trial because that trial could well be held in secret. 0 adrian brown reporting live from hong kong a very many things. Taiwans foreign minister is accusing china of trying to turn the island into the next Hong Kong Joseph who issued the warning on the 3rd and final day of a visit by the u. S. Health secretary onyx whos the most senior u. S. Official in decades to visit the island which china considers to be a renegade province hes praised the 23000000 taiwanese for successfully combusting covert 19 ive been a witness to the harmful and counterproductive results of excluding taiwan from these International Settings in the spring of 2800 for instance the World Health Organization put out an urgent call for funding to respond to an Ebola Outbreak in the western democratic republic of the congo taiwan offered a 1000000. 00 for this important fight no strings no conditions but the political bullying over taiwan status at the w. H. O. Ended up making this donation impossible especially during a pandemic but at all Times International organizations should not be places to play politics especially on health care taiwans foreign minister joseph move thanks the u. S. For its support katrina you reports for preaching. He really painted a contrast in picture comparing taipei to beijing saying that taiwans approach its government was completely open democratic transparent and said that this really was the best form of government when it came to fighting a problem as big as the current virus pandemic and joseph who also had quite a defiant message for beijing lets have a listen i want to slow stranger to such trouble all i become increasingly difficult a stranger continues to push it into accepting political conditions. That would turn one into the next phone call however we are fortunate to have good friends like the u. S. And its members like secretary is are. Always there supporting each and every one or International Space so china the chinese leaders are definitely watching this meeting very closely its the 1st significant and the the highest level official meeting to take place between u. S. And taiwan officials since 1979 when taiwan when the u. S. Recognize china instead of taiwan officially in a diplomatic sense but at the same time this meeting is not really going to achieve
