Town thats at the center of a battle between the military and armed groups. Police in belarus serve detained another 700 people on a 4th night of unrest over sundays disputed election they joined 6000 already in custody women in the capital minsk have been marching against the Police Crackdown on demonstrations that follows the death of a protester in Police Custody on wednesday the unrest was triggered by the president Alexander Lukashenko election victory which the e. U. Says was neither free nor fair the opposition candidate spent lana to come off sky left the country earlier this week shes now in neighboring the few ania. The u. N. Human Rights Office has condemned the violence against protesters and is calling on belarus to release the detainees. We do have reports that people were ill treated both during the process of arrest while they were being arrested but also in detention and we do underscore that there is an absolute prohibition on the treatment and torture with very concerned the more were calling for is that those that may have been on lawfully detained should be released immediately. Fasten joins us now from step as far as the 6000. 00 all those 6000. 00 plus detainees that we have to discuss all the relatives and friends waiting outside the Attention Centers of the being provided with any news at all. No theyre not and no woman trusts her came up to us really really really upset crying and saying that she was ready to go in into a Hunger Strike if she would get any information about her son who was detained 3 days ago theres no information about many of those detained as you said more than 6000 already the Detention Centers are over full there have to a around a 100 people go and they came out with real Horror Stories about what was going on inside its hard to imagine of course how you put so many people in that Detention Centers that crammed together in small cells there lying on the floor theres no toilets they have no food. In very bad conditions in the meantime protests here in the city center are continuing its a very loud protests as you can hear us have been honking their horns for our simone stop driving around theres a human chain here behind me of around a kilometer right now and more and more people are joining in a strike in a factory for trucks around 60 kilometers away from minsk hundreds of workers on a strike there and also being supported by people in that city d earlier here there was a very subdued but very dramatic protest of a choir at the met at the main music star turn here and that means they were singing about a russian song saying that belarus should be happy and free and they were Holding Signs saying over our phones have been stolen so these protests are now fairy spontaneous nobody is leaving the. But theyre popping up and people are simply joining in to get the feeling there that as far as those protests theres a concern that their anger is being refresh all most as the number of people who are being secreted away by the authorities it seems to increase day to day. Absolutely no woman who came up to actually working for a state Television Agency she said to me always very positive about the police and about the government she was sincerely upset that police force had taken her son and beaten him up so it looks like shankar with this approach is actually losing the support that he had left so more and more people get really upset because this is an historic for they have never seen this kind of protest and ive never seen this kind of Police Crackdown so lots of people from all of the population are sincerely upset about it ok step believe it theyre reporting live for us out of minsk thank you. The turkish president says talks are the only way to resolve the dispute over its oil and Gas Exploration plans in the Eastern Mediterranean. Made those comments off the from said it would increase its military presence in the area the president emanuel macro is pushing turkey to stop drilling in disputed waters greece as the turkish action is quote illegal the standoff escalated this week with the arrival of a Turkish Research vessel accompanied by washingtons. I told orders not to organize like a human skull with 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 to escalate the 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. Charlie rangel is following that story out of london charlie hi there why is the standoff so particularly concerning. Well these 2 nato neighbors of have many flare ups in the past but this sending of military vessels into an already crowded Eastern Mediterranean is already causing concern and i just spoke to an ex greek naval commander who said that yesterday a greek and turkish frigate did have a minor collision and its this fear that an innocent accident could be interpreted as aggression and it could deteriorate into Armed Conflict so this episode in the long running dispute started on monday when turkey sent in an oil drilling ship to carry out seismic surveys on the seabed that is actually in greek territorial waters there looking for oil and gas and that ship was flanked by 5 turkish warships the greek coast guard has repeatedly called out to them asking them to written. Leave that zone but they have not responded to those calls and so we heard from the greek Prime Minister there saying saying that he would mobilize his armed forces and he also said that we are mobilizing our diplomacy notifying our friendly nations and alerting our allies and partners were not alone in this effort one of those allies as he said is france they are sending in 2 fighter jets and a naval frigate to support the greeks and of course french relations with turkey already pretty strained over libya French ForeignMinistry Says that they want to assess the situation autonomy asli but turkey i think is taking it very personally and were hearing from turkey that theyre not going to back down president saying that they will not let any country take away their rights and that is referring to these maritime rights these overlapping claims so under u. N. Law that turkish drilling ship is in greek waters the greek exclusive Economic Zone but turkey never signed that u. N. Law awarding the territory to greece they believe that its inherently unfair that due to greeces scattered job graphy they get awarded 71 percent of the aegean sea whereas turkey and you get 8 percent ok charlie thank you very much john angela there in london. Now to the country with one of the Fastest Growing corona virus outbreaks anywhere in the world india has now reported its highest number of infections in one single day the 67000. 00 new cases bring its total to nearly 2400000 official figures put the number of deaths at more than 47000 but Infectious Disease experts say the country is still months away from hitting its peak elizabeth or on im is in new delhi. 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. The single highest. 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 the need to point confirmed cases is thought to be a fraction of the real number of cases the syrian 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 last week at the inauguration of a temple that indias most controversial religious site in a place. Where mobs tore down a 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. The philippines is planning to start Clinical Trials of the russian coronavirus tranxene president wants the tents to start as soon as up and hopes to be inoculated himself by next may the philippines recorded the most coup with 1000 infections in east asia over the past week from ting strict a lot done measures in and around the capital. Is in manila. There are reports coming in just today that there will be simultaneous Clinical Trial in manila and also and 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 it and it comes as no surprise also the president of the good the 3rd 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 the state of the nation address about 2 weeks ago he himself admitted in the 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 hes going to offer himself as a as a volunteer for the Clinical Trial should there be something coming out of russia but what this is is basically a a sign that the situation in the philippines is growing desperate that this fight with the world this and strict world strongest the strictest lockdowns ever implemented the number of coded cases continue to go up it is now the epicenter of tokoroa in a virus infections in Southeast Asia at the moment several countries across the reporting a search in corona virus infections francis seeing its highest number of cases since prescriptions were eased in may in spain the government says there are 675 active outbreaks well germany has its highest increase of cases in 3 months the mccains in berlin with the latest out of europe. Here in germany theres a great deal of concern about the way that these new infections are manifesting themselves because the mantra from ministers has been that it is people coming back from high risk areas tourists who travel to other parts of europe and unwittingly brought the infection back with them and yet actually paradoxically the majority of new infections taking place in germany take place inside germany elsewhere in those countries france the new infection rate is twice as large as it is in germany and certainly you see in cities the capital city for example in paris where the requirement for mask wearing is back in place but also separately the organizers of the paris marathon the marathon event which would normally attract many tens of thousands of entrants well they werent planning to have to stage the event until november and already theyve said that cannot take place and then of course in spain you see several regions there where the flare up of corona continues apace and from the german perspective looking at spring we know that the German Government has said that there are 3 regions where it is highly advising its citizens its residents tourists from germany not to go there where there will be the need for some form of quarantine when they come back or indeed a negative test. Dominic kane reporting this breaking news coming to us out of egypt a Senior Leader of the Muslim Brotherhood has died in cairo is in a sort of scorpion prison at the age of 66. 00. Was a doctor and an m. P. He worked to promote democratic principles within the Muslim Brotherhood was also a Founding Member of the Egyptian Organization for human rights he was arrested in 2013 correspondent john l. Joins us what else do we know about the circumstances surrounding his death well the conditions inside egypts prisons prior true of the Global Pandemic of covert were already extremely poor according to human rights organizations have been numerous reports both by international and Human Rights Watch talking about overcrowding talking about torture talking about the lack of medical assistance being provided through those who are chronically suffering from illnesses as. Was an others inside egypts prison post kovar it there have been a lot more concerns because of obviously the overcrowding because of the lack of sanitary sanity there sanitary rather standards as well as because of the lack of medical treatment there weve heard of several people dying over the past few weeks in egypt or in prisons doctors some being the most prominent there was also a prominent egyptian journalist who was arrested put into jail for a couple of weeks and the day he was released was also tested positive and shortly died after whats significant about dr samadi on is that he is somebody who was one of the icons of the Muslim Brotherhood not just within egypt but also internationally he was a spokesperson for the group he was one of the few who could speak english amongst its leadership and therefore made a lot of media appearances there he was seen to be more or of the quote unquote liberal wing of the Muslim Brotherhood he was somebody who was also very vocal against the Hosni Mubarak regime as well and actually when the journey 25th protests. Took place he was one of the few who encouraged the Muslim Brotherhood followers from the 1st 2nd to actually participate in those protests against the. Against the rule of mubarak obviously when the coup took place and he was a member of Parliament Prior to that he went into hiding for a couple of weeks only to be. Hounded by the Security Forces of. The of the military of the time who was in control and therefore was then arrested and has been in jail since there were calls from his family for the past few months for medical attention to be given to him however they were not reciprocated by the authorities or not some at least he met his fate as did other Muslim Brotherhood leaders whilst they were in jail if theyre in jail or if theyve been in jail i mean i want to ask you what this does what this means for and to the Muslim Brotherhood but its not the same organization it was in 20 twelves in egypt its not the same organization its been since its Foundation Actually in reality i mean as much as they would like to claim that they still have the power and influence that they used to the reality is that it has waned hugely primarily because its top 3 echelons of leadership of either being killed or arrested or have fled the country but what this does maybe is more of a psychological impact true both the Muslim Brotherhood but also to wider Egyptian Society because particular somebody like not somebody who as you mentioned there wasnt just a member it wasnt just a number of muslim brothers amenable punishment but also he was one of the leaders of the Doctors Union or Egyptian Medical Center cuts as they call it which is one of the biggest unions in egypt he had an outreach beyond the Muslim Brotherhood so when somebody like that dies in prison and hes only 66 years old it will highlight yet taken the undemocratic nature or the from some of human rights by the egyptian authorities now whether thats will anger. People or whether it will make them succumb more to a reality of well they live under what many would describe as a dictatorship and therefore theres no point trying to thats the impact thats going to have but what weve seen now with several different Leaders Within the Muslim Brotherhood obviously most notably the former president Mohamed Morsy dying in jail as you say they were essentially decimated that the leadership of the muslim brothers or if you were to ever return at least on the ground it would only ever do so with new faces and new personalities ok many things from our correspondent tracking that story for us.
