These attacks were approached a very good differently by news in a moment this happened there was an outpouring of grief. Led by the Prime Minister just another herself and that the re action from the community has been more of supporting. People who actually lost loved ones or victims of this attack and it it was a wake up call for that for the country and and the Prime Minister has said it was so that you know things are not perfect here but there is an effort now to world changing things its opened the countrys eyes towards racism towards islam of all the others will turn out all the and you know there is there is now acceptance of this as as you say as you saw it even in you know today on social media there was a lot of pouring in support coming from people who were actually going to these statements or the Muslim Community themselves people coming out and showing their support in different ways so it although the intention of the attack was to divide 8 i actually the opposite has happened here is. 2 members of the Opposition Coordination Council have been detained in bello reuss it comes a day after one of the biggest antigovernment protests in the countrys modern history despite a military deployment on the streets of the capital around 200000. 00 people turned out to demand president Alexander Lukashenko resigns they say he returned the election this month. Ok lets cross over to moscow xander starting over scott why as a journalist based in the russian capital she is joining us live given everything that was happening in belarus yesterday on sunday alexandra how do we think that moscow and russia is viewing whats going on in the country. Well moscow and russia specifically are clearly siding with local schenkel. Russian president s press secretary today had a press conference his regular press conference in which he said that it is good that the protesters didnt provoke the police and that it should stay that way but at the same time he was he was also saying that that russia for instance has more appeal to the politicians who are for friendly relations with russia then to the coordination or council which they view as opposite of that so something that wants to spoil this relations he again called that there should not be any foreign interference in russian things that when it comes to that he was asked about of the violence against the protesters and he said that russia doesnt intend to interfere in that that is something that is of internal affairs of the bell russia alexander also one of the things that russia is closely watching i would imagine is what actions being taken by countries around the rooms because that if there was any sense that there was any attempt by other countries neighboring brothers to move into bella ruse that would give russia a reason to take action itself but as far as we can tell there is no action from nato lithuania poland or any other country so one would assume that russia is basically sitting on the sidelines watching to see what is going to happen is russia really interested in taking military action inside the us. Well as you pointed out despite of what screaming there is no movement around belorussia so there wouldnt be any reason legally for russia to interfere neither on the on the line or for the good or this state a union state between russia and belarus but russia is not really sitting on the side that we could hear from mr lavrov that they stepped even more boldly basically supporting look at franco and we heard the same lines we could hear about ukraine in 2013 and 14 the dead allegedly there was some program of the kind of which basically pushes that now disappeared but basically pushes all the buttons like removing the russian language going towards nato and e. U. Well russia is a very important state for russia its the only state left on its western border that is neither a member nor strives to be in e. U. Or a nato so russia wants to keep it that way for them it is important today they denied that they have any contacts with the belorussian opposition or anyone in belarus but that could be the way of of keeping not to say control but keeping things as they are if they would find the son belorussian politician which would want to develop further friendly relations with russia and then the support him for now they are supporting basically look i shant call thats why they are commenting in that way on the violence against the protesters saying its their things its belorussia things they should clear it there and the triangle should actually have a wide dialogue with people but apparently that does not include corgan ational council of opposition and of course were hearing about these 2 Nations Council members who are being detained do we know any more about who they are and what impact that might have on the council and the opposition itself and the loose. What happened is that the 1st were detained the companion manager of the and another credential Council Member who easily that are of the strikes in means that our factory they were anything in front of this means that after effect through the Coordination Council said this is attempts to criminalize the work of the commission or council which basically is assuring the peaceful transition of power later in the day to other strike leaders of 2 other very big plants in belarus so were also detained another member of the Coronation Council has been invited to be to report himself to the police tomorrow as witness it says for the case of creating Coordination Council so what theyre saying the credentials of opposition get them to criminalize that work well it does look like that at the same time what they think and what they stated is that the government will question call will have to engage in dialogue will then that they dont have any other option they think and that what look at schenkel was doing yesterday walking armed and his son in full gear and also armed and showing the muscle they think actually thats to be a sign of his fear of the street protests and of what people have to say about the elections and hes so far all the journalists on existence on the loose and growth. In the russian capital telling us what the situation is in both moscow but also in the center thank you very much indeed. A serious warning signs are meeting again for u. N. Back talks in geneva to find a way to end the countrys devastating 9 years civil war the weeklong gathering is going to host delegations from the Syrian Government the opposition and Civil SocietyIran Russia Turkey and the u. S. Are expected to be on the sidelines the meeting is the 1st of its kind in 9 months after the coronavirus pandemic derailed previous talks. And power is gradually being restored in syria after a major gas pipeline explosion left large parts of the country without electricity firefighters have now put out the blaze in the out of gas line northeast of the capital damascus this was the scene a few hours ago there are no details yet on what may have caused the explosion but the oil minister is suggesting it could be an act of terror well lets take a closer look at where the blast happened 1200 kilometers out of gas pipeline delivers natural gas to syria from egypt and this fuels power stations in southern syria they explosion hit a section of the pipeline between the towns of odds and doom in or around 30 kilometers from damascus that caused a drastic drop in gas pressure to nearby power stations causing some to shut down was in the heart is monitoring the situation from beirut in neighboring lebanon and she says the question is know what caused the blast. Authorities the syrian minister. In fact it was a terrorist attack he did not provide any further information he didnt point the finger at any particular group and so far there has been no claim of responsibility the area is under the control of the Syrian Government in fact there is no rebel presence for my own. Position or it is further south in the province but even there there is a low level insurgency and it is the government which has the upper hand now of course there is still. Present further east closer to the border with iraq in central theory or an area known as. The Syrian Government saying this is a terrorist attack but without providing further information talk so once again under way in solving mollies coup crisis after months of antigovernment protests soldiers seized power on tuesday and arrested president. After 2 days of meetings between coup leaders and west african mediators military commanders are reported to be considering allowing him to return home the army also wants a transitional role in ruling he just is following developments from the nigerian capital abuja hes joining us live is this too early to suggest that there is some sort of breakthrough in terms of negotiations between the military leaders and the it was mediators. Well since yesterday. He seems to be suggesting that its a breakthrough although nothing concrete has been achieved and some of these areas of course one of the air years of sanctions imposed. Its new military rulers in the aftermath of the court there the other thing is the for you to president. Which of course is very important to the delegation from the Economic Community of West African States of course and also looking at a transition timetable. Initial rumors when we walk up this morning west but the army wanted a 3 year transition period warning by the impact of what that elite statement would have on my own supporters of the coup and of course the opposition that expressed its support and appreciation of the intervention by the army the Army Spokesman issued a statement just a while ago denying that a 3 Year Transition Program has been agreed upon by the Ruling Committee instead it said the spokesman said meeting is still continuing between the leaders and of course the delegation from the Economic Community of West African States meanwhile the delegation met with the Constitutional Court and discussions will continue a lot of people expected these to be a very very quick job for ecowas go in there. Concessions from the new leaders and of course would be the release of political detainees now its dragging into its 3rd day and from all indications it could probably last and to more on that how are the supporters of president. Reacting to all of this. Its more like a subdued reaction a lot of them adopted a wait and see approach there is. Very little they can do it exactly in the in the face of current circumstances they kind of they dont have the numbers to rise up against the new military rulers or the cool itself and of course the opposition to. Even before the before the coming of the military was for huge that its very very significant it registered on the minds of observers not only within mali but outside of it so that thats the situation now its more like they are been subdued for that id be just reporting to us from a bruiser on the situation in mali thank you very much indeed.
