A consultancy so far so friday taking a trip online the Tourism Industry looks to technology as the coronavirus pandemic limits global travel. Im joined again with the sport as parents celebrate every turn to the Champions League semifinals for the 1st time in 25 years following a stunning comeback win. We begin this news in lebanon where parliament has approved the state of emergency in beirut it gives authorities considerable power to crack down on street demonstrations that the days of protests calling for a complete political overhaul demonstrators are furious the politicians for what they see as in action at entrenched corruption last weeks explosion killed more than 200 people lets go live now to beirut now to serious but its myth is. Well it looks like you were at the scene of last weeks explosion brothers. Major in the grain silo just barely to his rights was the science of the explosion and in front of it the mongol wreckage of the warehouses and in front of me the mangled beirut skyline that was all destroyed in those few seconds is still talk for the explosion to pass through when those 202750 tons of Ammonium Nitrate exploded parliaments been meeting today for the 1st time since that explosion in a very short session parliament agreed to extend by 2 weeks a state of emergency over the city of beirut that gives the military sweeping powers really to crack down on any on any protests to arrest people without warrants to search homes without warrants decided that that was necessary in the current circumstances but only for the next couple of weeks what were still waiting for though perhaps more importantly is the parliament to agree who is going to be the new Prime Minister the new cabinet and really its the political elites that run this country that will that will decide who thats going to be and their their parliamentarians will carry on will support whoever they choose discussions are ongoing behind closed doors one name in the frame or Prime Minister is a return of saad hariri he resigned last october stayed in place in a caretaker all until january after a financial crisis and the economy collapsed and the lebanese pound lost 80 percent of its value its essential that lebanon has a cabinet a representative cabinet not one dominated by hezbollah and its allies as is the current setup because only that will unlock the foreign funding this country desperately need the extension of this state of emergency is perhaps understandable but the fact that it gives the authorities sweeping powers to deal with demonstrations how to people who are already angry over the governments handling of not just the aftermath of the explosion but the financial crisis in lebanon how it how are they going to feel about that. I mean there is enormous frustration here there were protests last saturday and there have been protests since but they to be honest have been on a much smaller scale than for example we saw here last october when tens of thousands of people took to the streets most people still busy. Cleaning up im trying to find somewhere to live cleaning now homes if they still got them and trying to get by day by day what most people want is the government as i say to agree that. The u. S. Secretary for little affairs for example david hale here arrives in lebanon tonight hell be meeting political leaders in advance of his arrival the u. S. Embassys put out a statement saying hail underscores americas willingness to support any government that reflects the will of the people and is genuinely committed to acting upon such a reform agenda the need for fundamental economic and financial and governance reforms code for saying you give us another cabinet thats dominated by iran backed hezbollah and its allies and we wont give you any money a manual microns had a similar thing last week so enormous pressure on the government to find some sort of unity government was what happened here last week enough to force some sort of change in beirut we will find out. About room negotiations take place to try and build a new cabinet. Reporting live from beirut but many thanks indeed. Police and beta roofs have detained another 700 people on a 4th night of unrest over sundays disputed election they join 6000 already in custody women in the capital have been marching against the Police Crackdown on demonstrations that follows the death of a protest in Police Custody on with the rest was triggered by president nixon in the push and close election victory which the says was neither free nor fair opposition kind that.

Yes its very noisy here in the center of minsk you might be able to hear whats happening is that driving around the home kingdom more and said thats been a sign of the opposition since the beginning of the Election Campaign and i have to say its getting noisier by the people here are protesting against what they say is excessive violence that have been taken in the last 4 days. Since many have been you saying maybe 7000 people 0 and were hearing actually courts are inside the function center of people battling. Large numbers of detainees crammed into rooms theyre not allowed to vote for and thats they have no food no water very very dire conditions here people who are coming out of that sometimes are even too afraid to talk about how bad the situation is whats happening now is that progress popping up around the city and also around the country we just witnessed a very dramatic protest by the phenomenon. Of the main thing here to music here in minsk they were singing on a russian song that has a very emotional mean. From people here people who are crying. Sharing to damage was a very brave move of this theater people are really not accepting this violence and thats why they are still taking to the straight overcoming their fear he said there are allegations of torture from the people who are being held by the authorities with thousands now arrested where the authorities keeping all of these people. Thats a very good question that intention founders of course are over thats why the government released the 100 people. In the last day or so because they simply dont have enough space for them but the situation of course you cant imagine if all these people are crammed together in the south what are you hearing from people who came out of. That race that people are just simply lying on the floor and they have nowhere to go. You know thats not nothing so they stay here for many hours and when autos are being brought in then they have to literally walk over these bodies so thats.

Yes again another single highest day rise and we also know that one of the reasons that the numbers are going up is because india is testing more than it ever has its continuing to increase testing as well as the single highest a rise on wednesday india also conducted its highest ever number of tests more than 800000 so that it has a better idea of the spread of the infection in the country because remember that needed 2400000 confirmed cases is thought to be a fraction of the real number of cases the serum logical surveys which have been done around the country show that the real number is many times the confirmed number now the big headline when it comes to coronavirus in the country today is that a man who shared a stage with Prime Minister in the day in the more the last week at the inauguration of a temple that indias most controversial religious site in a place called. Where hindu mobs tore down the 16th century mosque in 1992 he has tested positive for the coronavirus he is the head of the temple and he was seen spending the whole day with Prime Minister that in there morty and some of the most prominent leaders political leaders in the country now it is because of this overall rise that were seeing that schools have remained shut we have seen many restrictions being eased over the last few months have remained shot and thats having a really big impact on the many millions of Indian Students who cant access learning online and there are some people who are trying to take education to those who cant access it online heres our story.

Such anger and the students are from one of the many neighborhoods of the capital where everyone lives in temporary shacks with or no access to electricity. From other neighborhoods to attend. And thats because theyre from some of the 92 percent of. Internet connections and Computer Keyboard some states are doing better than others at bridging the Digital Divide the Southern State of catalan has set up temporary classroom for students who cant watch the local governments precourt Classes Online or on television are up at night these online classes are very easy to understand and if theres anything we dont understand then teachers here help and guide us we like it a lot.

Reports. There are reports coming in just today that there will be simultaneous Clinical Trial in manila and also in moscow reports coming in that around 300. 00 to 3000. 00 will be tested or tried here in the philippines but also even government officials admit that and admit that actually they dont really know when this is going to happen they just have to decide how and when they will implement this and it comes as no surprise also the president of the good that they are to has been turning to his favorite allies over the past few months when it comes to help coming from the outside world when it comes to dealing with the coronavirus pandemic in the philippines during his state of the nation address about 2 weeks ago he himself admitted in his speech that the appeals to chinas xi jinping basically to make the philippines a priority should the vaccine be made available here and then monday he said that hes going to make himself a sample or at least a going to offer himself as a volunteer for the Clinical Trial should there be something coming out of russia but what this is is basically a sign that the situation in the philippines is growing desperate that this fight one of the world this and strict world strongest the strictest lockdowns ever implemented the number of covert cases continue to go up it is now the epicenter of tokoroa in a virus infections in Southeast Asia at the moment. Turkeys president says the talks are the only way to resolve the dispute over its oil and Gas Exploration plans in the eastern mediterranean. Or one made the comments off to france so that it would increase its military presence in the area president s and money all mccraw is pushing tookie to hold drilling in disputed waters greasers the action is illegal the standoff escalated this week with the arrival of a Turkish Research vessel vessel accompanied by was. A whole lot of money or given over to humanise cattle at the risk of an accident when so many military assets are gathered in such a contained area the responsibility lies with the one who gives rise to to succumb instances where remained firm in our commitment to International Legality and the power of diplomacy to resolve even the most complex issues we will never be the one situation yet selfrestraint is only one aspect of our power no provocation will go on and said we have demonstrated that we will respond if necessary and we will do so again if it is required. Charles cup john is a sin if at the council on Foreign Relations he says that nato members are increasingly worried about the potential for a confrontation its escalated of late in part because air new wine is pursuing a more ambitious Foreign Policy he showed up with forces in libya he signed an agreement with libya that demarcated new maritime boundaries in the mediterranean that drove the greeks crazy so they went out and forged an agreement with egypt now you have the ship showing up a turkish ship just off shore of the greek island and i think the french are trying to say hold on were going to try to cool the temperature here before things get out of hand nobody wants to go to war nobody wants to see to nato members mix it up on the other hand when you have this many naval vessels when tensions are this high when you have turkish exploration this ship that you mentioned is taking seismic soundings the 1st step in drilling for gas you know things are are in a kind of dangerous place i think in some ways youre seeing an all hands on deck diplomatic response because there is a conversation taking place between the u. S. Secretary of state and the Greek Foreign minister nato is is trying to rise to the occasion the e. U. Is going to hold an emergency session so thats a sign to me that people are really worried about the situation and keep in mind that you have a backdrop of tension over Syrian Refugees coming from turkey to greece over what heir to one has done in turning the huggy sophia into a mosque so there is a lot of fuel to fan the flames at this point between greece and turkey. Fighters linked to i saw have taken control of a port town in northern mozambique its the 3rd time this year that the prior has been seized the town is an important part of the 23000000000. 00 natural gas projects around 60 kilometers away 60 Security Forces rather say that theyve killed 59 members of an armed group whove been trying to occupy the area over the past week lets get more on this now from our series from a to miller who is monitoring events from johannesburg whats the significance of this latest attack from either. Well as you mentioned there they have tried to attack this particular port a number of times and these are these fighters linked to ice so and while on one hand i think their capacity to hold on to territory might be questionable it does appear these attacks in the north of mozambique have become more frequent more complex and according to what the military there has said there were a sequence of attacks on that particular region in the in recent weeks and i think this would be of concern to mozambique and the government given that these attacks are taking place more frequently and in this particular instance while the military said that they have killed 59 of these fighters at the end of the day these fighters have taken over that important port which is not far from mass of liquefied gas project that the muslim beacon government has interest in it in fact its one of the largest in africa and the world its worth at least 60000000000. 00 so maintaining security in this region certainly would be of concern and importance to the mozambique and government while trying to benefit from such a project along with trying to keep people in that region safe reports indicate that these fighters also use villages and people in the area as shields when fighting and its it does appear as if there is a certain expansion of territory for this fight is in recent weeks and also the capacity of them is a muslim beacon military is questionable given that theyre under resourced underfunded and so
