Out thousands of workers at stage one factories and the state broadcaster have joined a National Strike while our correspondent step back in is outside state media headquarters in minsk step i understand state t. V. Is now doing reruns today these extraordinary scenes of defiance from state employees. Absolutely these are unprecedented scenes here in minsk a state Television Work a small 130 of them are on strike and theyre now joined also by workers from different factories around to the capital and theyre all shouting in front of the building they are asking for truce they want the state television to stop airing propaganda and lies and they also ive spoken to one of the important anchors here in the program he actually resigned just a few days ago because he said i cant work for a company any longer whos just spreading lies so this is a snowballing strike going around belarus right now one after the other factory also very strategic factories one of them is producing a Rocket Launcher thats a Factory Press and look. At that this morning theyre also now on strike well step you are at that factory that lucas visited this morning and he gave that speech to to the striking workers how was he received. Well there was definitely a moment of shock for president alexander look i shant go considers himself as a father of the nation and they always so refer to him as bob guy here in the ballot which means fodder but and suddenly this factory workers who normally just obey orders specially when the president is visiting started shouting that he should leave his face was just froze and that was definitely a moment of truth for looking shango might have thought it was not as bad but now starts to realize that a large part of the population wants him to leave well as those protests continue we are now hearing potential talk of power sharing both from and to kind of skier how is that all being interpreted over there i dont think the kind of sky as off of any power sharing agreement what shankar has said that he wants to redistribute power that that needs work on situational change i think people here just see that thats buying time now the pressure is increasing on him to kind of scalia has said she willing to step up as a National Leader to have a trance Transitional Government having to work really elections free and Fair Elections where the population of actually really decide who is going to be the new leader so thats on the table theres no word of look you should look at the working together with kind of sky i dont think anyone here believes that that could happen thank you very much step by step faster now with all the latest from the belorussian capital minsk thanks well as that Massive Movement continues in bellerose the European Union leaders have called for an emergency summit on wednesday that theyll be discussing the disputed election as well as the violent crackdown that followed on protesters well its now speak to Dominick Cain who joins me from berlin dominic germany has really come out very strongly on this. Very strongly on this a clear condemnation from this capital city from the government here about whats taking place not that far away taking place in belarus and germany leading calls a chorus of condemnation from European Capital cities and from the e. U. Itself the germans looking for sanctions looking for a way of targeting those it holds responsible for the events that have been unfolding in belarus these past days and weeks but then from an institutional perspective in brussels at least we know that sharma share the president of the European Council calling for an emergency summit on wednesday talks on on wednesday at a pan e. U. Institutional level to discuss what it can do thats the e. U. In so far as concerned we know that there have been certain ideas floated by Different Countries the poles talking about the use the use of a european in damage for democracy to help belarus and we know that and others at the e. U. Institutional level talking about the sorts of material assistance that can be provided to this to people in belarus given the condemnation that it is leading against mr rickard yet in his government dominic i believe air leaders there wanting to cause a deescalation attention over all of this but i understand they are also going to ask moscow not to get involved. Well the interesting thing is the element of rail quality in so far as this is concerned at a european level because clearly he you does not have a military entity so the e. U. Is not in a position to make any kind of threat as it were from a military perspective the military situation in europe is clearly something under the auspices of nato some from the e. U. Perspective theres only so much leverage so much influence that it can exert its influence the influence it can exert is clearly at the political and at the economic level now there must be a question in the minds of some people both in this capital city in berlin but also in brussels about what effect. That sort of idea that so floating that sort of sort of idea to the government in moscow might have but one thing is for certain they have see the people in charge of the institutions in brussels the people in charge of government here in berlin and elsewhere in other European Capitals have taken a look at whats happening in minsk whats happening in vienna rose as a whole and have decided to be very condom nature and the question will be what exactly do they really think they can achieve given the control of the situation in generous is not in their hands dominick hang in there with all the latest for us from berlin thank you very much dominick. We can now speak to richard bites hes a security and defense analyst at wiki strat thats a global risk in felton say and he joins us now from allington virginia richard there appears to be a bit of posturing going on now when it comes to potential military intervention here from batteries if you weigh me a potentially russia to what do you make of it is anyone at all with serious about this but we havent seen any unusual military maneuvers outside the country we know that within bellerose the Government Security forces been very active. I mean forcing their borders but also suppressing the protesters but in terms of what russia or the neighboring nato countries are doing theres been no major change in their forced deployments which i believe that bellerive says now wanting to run the military trails near the border is this an attempt at show of strength. Well what the the the when way that. President live kish and co could escape from what looks to be his little likely downfall is to get the russians to intervene on his behalf and theres not a lot of and a lot of a for loop go in the kremlin so he has to sell this as look you know belarus is under threat from from nato if i fall the nato will take over the contrie and i think thats why you see the belorussians forces moving to the border because it helps them develop this narrative of what western powers are seeking are behind these protests theyre trying to overthrow me moscow you need to save us youre going to end up with another ukraine so shueisha well in terms of whether or not moscow is going to get involved in this i instantly if you any has already said that that if they did would constitute an invasion can you talk us through the calculus of the kremlin and for a person here how would they decide how far they might go. Right its actually very a difficult situation for russia so they dont like live christian and co but they clearly fear that if he falls youre going to end up with a government thats much more pro western we have a history of countries nearby such as the Baltic States lithuania and so on leaving the russian orbit and moving to back to nato so they dont want to lose control over belarus but theres not an ethnic russian population in dollars they can appeal to most of the people in belarus as far as we can tell including the dollar ocean protesters are not anti russian rushing dades militarily they will be would be the same scenario as ukraine so i think the kremlins preferred option is what happened recently in armenia there was a popular revolution it overthrew the government but the new government they came in though led by a pro western leaders was being careful not to move the country towards nato not to distance themselves from moscow so i think that would be their preferred solution and find somebody else to replace Lucas Shankar but not this something that could happen internally without requiring Russian Military intervention well clearly wants nato to be viewed as a threat where is nato on all of this. Right well nato will defend any member countries such as with the wanita and that is attacked by Russian Forces by the Alliance Going back to the protests during the cold war in hungary and the Czech Republic and poland will not intervene to to on behalf of a social revolution in a foreign a nonmember government so nato position is to warn russia against intervention to prepare for any spillover of conflict and so on but its basically a defensive posture trying to deal with possible contingencies mitigate think we could see the escalation of all of this without any kind of military intervention is that likely yeah i think that the most likely solution and a good one would be if local genco leaves office and then somebody else takes power who enjoys the more Popular Support and can perform make the necessary domestic reforms but without really causing a major threat to russia in the short term i think in the long term bella ruth will end up looking like the other baltic countries and poland and so on it really should be part of the west but the timing is not good with president putin in power richard bias there speaking to us from where he stratton the defense and security analyst thanks so much appeal inside here on out of there richard. Sure any time. Well crowds in sudans capital khartoum are protesting on the 1st anniversary of the countrys landmark power sharing deal they say the transition to democracy has been slow following the overthrow of longtime leader of al bashir in the current Transitional Government is made up of civilian and military leaders who are slated to govern until democratic elections are held in 2 years well we can now speak to our correspondent there is him morgan shes in khartoum for us and joins us now on the line here but i understand that youve been having to deal with some tear gas that more frustration on the streets today caylee. Yes indeed not we believe didnt take a gathering in front of the office of the Prime Minister where they were planning to submit a memo with their demand for sedition over what they say has been a very slow current session their main demand being justice and accountability for the life of the boat that they see that is not achieving peace which the government has promised will be achieved within the 1st 6 months of the transition period that has not been either many conditions before. That we took to the streets today say that those demands those form im kind of this is that were going to move them to democracy has been very slow down nodding to and places around 430 local time which is about 40 feet that has been cut short and people and their protests. And i would have to hear guys being fired by police as a matter of fact within the vicinity of the Prime Ministers office and we have seen Police Firing tear gas the one that theyre being carried away by police in most cases also to be taken to a local medical care and with the protesters who are running away still continuing to run away. That have been fired by the position a that because something they find acceptable they want to go to and they want to make sure that their demands are heard of course and that were watching these live pictures now from the sudanese capital khartoum and it does look fairly chaotic on the streets that i want to mean the frustration here is nothing new weve been hearing bits and pieces of it over the last few weeks and months have we heard anything from government in terms of how theyre actually going to respond to these issues. Will be also the Prime Minister did issue a statement early this morning to commemorate the 1st anniversary all this power sharing agreement and they. Point out some of what they see as an achievement including the appointment of prevailing governors that has been a major ignorant of the most traders over the past few months but we have 2 people they considered 3 that they had the biggest. Over the top the same back they should be going double as insulators as the militants. Holding much more power than it should and the government responded this morning saying that. They view this as. You guys the civilian government but its also acknowledged shortcomings that made it very clear that they understand if you are accountable it is something that people have been waiting for more than a year now and thats because something they havent achieved that they say that this is something theyre working on and its a matter of time before they actually achieve that. And have that id like to remind our viewers of just what that power sharing deal and votes because it only really came after a series of huge protests that we saw much larger than the ones that were seeing right now huge protests the ousting of our mouths share and then this power sharing deal can you remind our viewers just what that actually looked like when it was agreed. Yes indeed if when this Peace Agreement was on goal in the park sharing agreement between the civilian the military there were lots of high hopes people very optimistic that there were some people as well who criticized the deal saying that it was to fall back on putting the fact that the military is going to be a part share in. What should be how the country should be governed and what should be happening in the country its called short of a demand so there were people who were optimistic on one side the people who criticize us on the other side. The mass and there are people who say that Political Parties have put their agenda and their impact ahead of an angel so there was a mixture of people around that but it all became of the result of the political turmoil in the saga. That there will be months and months of protests in december up until april when president some of that year was overthrown by the military then came to run that negotiation with the hope that several times. That the building component in order to be called mission of the course of the freedom and change the military component the congress can military council then could have groups be able. Because in the country a lot but the bulk of money from people that you will eventually refute. With the word put it in. That short of that. Have been morgan our correspondent in khartoum contextualizing what were seeing for us on the streets thanks very much and please do stay safe. Now we can speak to do a terrific social activist and also a member of the gear if no movement a non violent Resistance Movement that was very involved in these protests she joins us now via skype from khartoum the sudanese capital do let me start by asking whats top of your mind today as you look back over whats happened over the last year what are the priorities for you and your movement going forward. B. The priority now for thank you for having me 1st priority at this period now is to build the early months because the revolution is now came to a point that we now have civilian governance but we dont have the money. Which is good which which made the Decision Making in the in the hands of the ring council and the ministers the council of ministers so people are really angry now because weve been promised to like form the burning man for over a year now. Because todays quite a few. Are because the the passing of when you know the signing of the institutional document. And to also to be correct the course is there for evolution. And also to meet any month now we we handle the the the council of ministers on doing 31. 00. 2 and like. To mention back that that holds 5 major demands show and those demands what into really because we dont need peace trying to tell just the. Removal of the b. B. State and be completely complete the complete of the government the structure of the only we only have the civilian governments now but we dont have a very limited and we also going going out again because of the economy crisis we want Big Government to come up with the economy. Policies to try to give to the farm and address the economic crisis and also to lay
