Consecutive day of boss protests calling for political change after a disputed president ial vote thousands have laid flowers and lit candles at the site for a man died on monday during the violent crackdown on protestors crowds have been chanting leave aimed at president whos facing the biggest challenge to his 26 year rule. For the memory of the man who died died for us for our freedom ours and yours and the 2nd reason is probably even more common which is the impossibility to live like this any longer right now the power is in the hands of those who have no rights to it and the people are not in agreement they havent been in agreement in a long time but there was fear now the fear is no more. Funerals been held for the 34 year old protester but of us in Authorities Say an explosive device blew up in his hand but opposition supporters dont accept the official account. Why did they shoot at his legs why didnt they shoot at his arm he was unarmed cant they tell a terrorist from a person who poses no threat and the most painful thing is who will answer for his death but in a look at his made it clear he has no intention to step down and has rejected foreign mediation he spoke on the phone with russias president Vladimir Putin and says putin has agreed to provide Security Assistance if requested by bella lewis aljazeera step vassals in minsk where demonstrators are still on the streets. A mere pushkin. Metro station where the 34 year old car mechanic was killed on monday and night its still unclear. But its for sure that he had an open. During the night and also in the week. Also here where a lot of remains. Rubber bullets we have found in the last 6 people have been streaming in to. Put the. Car mechanic but also as a sign of protest and defiance thousands of people also carrying children. Around. Very euphoric atmosphere i have to say earlier in the day when there was a one minute silence for the victims there were a lot of people crying holding. Making a peace sign so very remarkable scenes here today again in minsk where protests are not stopping and only growing bigger the protests are just. Waiting theres no police there are no Security Forces around for the last 48 hours i have to say. When the people were marching towards independence square. In front of house. With women there was some riot police also standing by and there were also reports of trucks military trucks are moving into the city. Despite the fact that some people here have been trying to create that Everyone Needs to be very careful because. Any minute we havent seen a sign of. This atmosphere of. That people havent felt here for decades and Research Fellow at the center for new ideas thats an independent think tank in belarus and shes joining us on skype from stockholm thank you very much indeed for being with us why do you think these protests are so different to protests that weve seen before. Fine you can put it into things i believe there are several major points to be if i can see that and speak your ear in big foreign borders as well for example it of course number of people taking part in the puzzles because we saw not only problems of people who were joining the demonstrations during the 110 or in the garden 6 but we saw fossils of people and there are even the 7 homes and my message is theyre not going to consider this city but by the benefits of towns so this is absolutely fabulous and are never happened before and there. Are also essential items and this is very important to understand that. Such a small amount to a small country and all those over and earns will soon make when you mean where the fuck is there happening or are quite usable we understand that this is a very important sign because. Ringback the column 2 pounds per dollar to even smaller savings from that initial patient to the. Opposition well it will be a sense that it is much easier to do all the small cities there in of india wants to complete its very important to highlight that activities have gone on strike 8 of the major fact at least 8 out of 10 major effect we spend on strike and these are that its that corresponds to almost 40 percent of the countrys g. D. P. And there are many for us and that is a major thing there because he was always for line and such who when considering the support of the election and world for special post so this is absolutely unique its never happened before in a country only we all saw that he mightnt have taken very active nonsense in stream of protests where subordinates. Sounds about. Right where a client or he gets the. Black as a symbol. Oh i do support and peaceful or yes the days to commemorate the victims. But this but also get the peaceful. Life. And finally what happened you hours ago its that. Main due to the may the generals have joined this trying and that joint home to moms. Nation. We could not is this election. And. Some unification between the current. Release and one is being. Seen and sometimes it is and ive let me ask you let me take you up on that point because and forgive me for interrupting but thats an interesting one because the Television Networks within the media within has essentially been a government month piece for a very long time but in the last few days its been reported weve seen. High Profile Television presenters on News Networks walking off the job because they dont want to be part of this i want to ask you about the involvement of the military and the police in this because we have seen a change of attitude of some of the military and Security Forces do you think that those are isolated or do you think that this is part of a wider indication that the military and the Security Forces which have supported looking for so many years are seeing a split. Its very much. What exactly youre talking about if youre talking about the kids in spite of that moment in the census of police have done their shields yesterday and when he was. Chugging them at the pulpit i wont buy this we can say i think thats it look action. In law would look to me hes from salt lake or. Stance in the morning when he said that its not necessarily to beat up people so much i think this goes along with this theres plenty of those people might find some sort of image that. When you send it leaves its actually not care to them but rather just trying to protect some very important part of our buildings because we didnt see people take taking off their helmets we do not see where police or Armed Forces Together to put Justice Without helmets and saying that police is together with you so this is very important its a very and i believe that as soon as that reason order from the top to crack down the clubs again these and people that have the bible also says today well be doing his job it will be a present. Let me ask you very quickly if you dont mind about this phone call thats happened between president location cohen president Vladimir Putin and let me put it while president is saying that president putin has promised to help secure the safety of belem as weve heard nothing from president putin other than i believe a statement suggesting that he hopes that the situation will be resolved swiftly what action do you think russia is actually likely to take if any given the situation in belarus. I actually believe that it can seem to me that at all in general and to himself as well i believe that the problem is not. Examined by photos because its very its going to be a very very 5 minute rush of the few days of the conspiracies that goes that it is some sort of close and like to happen there where you know in parts of the country such as such as in ringback ukraine and if there was that nonsupport expression for. Me if this is lot goes what happened and what can actually happen to these people while. Conditions send some sort of troops there. Or at least the militia sports that i go into how to. Down the protests but i dont believe that these are a good military man or and welcome to the base of all 3 of crimea and. If you live the way it means then you can read. From the center for new ideas i really appreciate your giving us your time on aljazeera thank you very much indeed for being with us thank you cards marching for 6 the weekend in russias far east have shown solidarity with the protesters in belarus for weeks now theyve been rallying in capital score against the rest of the regions former governor who defeated a program when rival in the elections 2 years ago for the go it was detained last month and taken to jail in moscow is accused of murders 15 years ago when he was a businessman for gun supporters say the charges arent politically motivated.

The u. S. Postal service is warning that it cannot guarantee all ballots cast by mail for the november president ial election will arrive in time to be counted there is expected to be a huge rise in mail in voting as a result of the coronavirus pandemic President Donald Trump has tried to restrict the method threatening to withhold funds for the Postal Service he claims its at risk of fraud without giving any evidence but trump his family and many top aides have regularly voted by mail themselves and hes requested a mail in ballot for floridas primary next week. Former us president barack obama has joined the criticism of the post office of Postal Services functioning hes tweeted that everyone depends on the u. S. P. S. Seniors for their Social Security veterans for their prescriptions Small Businesses trying to keep their doors open they cant be Collateral Damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the votes than suppressing a virus while republicans have been largely quiet on the issue the only senator from the party who backed Donald Trumps impeachment says theres no evidence voting by mail has led to fraud but romney says its an essential part of maintaining democracy in the u. S. But my own the u. S. We want people to vote it is essential in my view for a nation which is the leading nation of democratic nations in the world the leader of the free world for us to show the elections can be held in a free and fair matter and we should make every effort to assure that people who want to vote get the chance to vote and thats more important even than the outcome of the vote we have got to preserve the principle of democracy or or the trend were on is is a is going to continue to get worse how does the cost was life for us in the u. S. State of maryland heidi lets just talk about those letters the u. S. Postal service has been sending out whats in the. Well these are essentially warnings that were addressed to 46. 00 states and the district of columbia it was written by the general counsel of the u. S. Postal service essentially warning that if these states go forward with expanded mail in ballots that essentially they may not be counted in time the Postal Service is trying to get these states to move up the deadlines that voters would have to request these ballots and to return them to the to the Postal Service however practically speaking many states would have to change their own state laws and with the election just 80 days away its a in possibility for the vast majority of these states of course as you know the u. S. Postal service is an arm of the federal government so this is led many to wonder whether this is another attempt by President Trump to discredit the outcomes of the election and discredit them the mail by the mail the vote by mail process he himself has has has not has said that this is not politically motivated however we see historically that when americans vote by mail more of them tend to be democrats and we know that President Trump is trailing his challenger joe biden in the polls so its making many look at this very suspiciously heidi this seems to be one individual who is coming under increased focus at the center of all of this and thats the man whos in charge of the Postal Service just give us a little bit of the background as to why this is happening. Thats why this is louis did joy who was a Republican Fund raiser before he was appointed by President Trump to leave the u. S. Postal service back in may and since that time to joy has implemented a series of controversial reforms that has cut the hours of postal workers and even remove some of these post the Mail Processing machines he says its to arraign back the operating car. Of this agency but others are saying this is also abetting President Trump in trying to sabotage what could be a very widespread mail in Ballot Campaign in this fall and of course Public Health experts here in the u. S. Saying that this pandemic is hardly under control would be very dangerous for people to line up possibly for hours outside of polling stations and so mail in balloting which evidence shows theres theres been no evidence of documented massive fraud would be the best option in the Public Health eyes. Heidi thanks very much indeed thats how the joke castro in maryland. But more ahead on the news hour including.

Has never been so isolated that oh yeah. The u. S. Has worked for months to prepare a resolution to his iran and it could only get one vote supporting it from a small country the Dominican Republic you see how theyve been humiliated the recent 11 countries abstained into voted against it was because they believe the preservation of the j. C. P. O. A is essential for the interests of the region and the world yesterday was a political achievement for iran and a political failure for the u. S. Speaking in poland u. S. Secretary of state might compare said his government would not give up. This was a serious mistake we regret that you know its they simply want to extend the set of rules theyve been in place since 2007 and as we have said before the United States is determined to make sure that the iranians and this regime this theocratic regime doesnt have the capacity to inflict even more harm on the world and so well continue to work on that i think there are a lot of people on average privately on this trip that understand that it is not in the worlds best interest to allow this arms or barbara to expire i hope they will find the courage to say so publicly and assist us in ensuring this is arms embargo is extended and the u.
