Johnson that would break international law. Families in hong kong plead for the release of their children from detention in Mainland China. Where were continuing our coverage of the escalation of violence in belarus the internet has been shut down for more than a few hours now the police say they have detained at least 250. 00 demonstrators they were gathering for another protest in the capital city minsk. Tens of thousands of protesters have flooded the center of the capital making their way to one of the president ial compounds they have been demands for the president Alexander Lukashenko to resign ever since he was declared the winner of last months disputed elections critics say the vote was rigged lets get the latest from aljazeera step vasant who joins us on the phone from mens because theres no Internet Access for her and the team on the ground there so step have they reached the president ial residence yet. Not yet to the time when still walking here to keep up with the protesters who have been marching now for 2 hours nonstop at the moment theyre on the main avenue because some other people managed to put their cards on a some important traffic fines. Blocking the road leading to give thanks for all the chatter fest for thousands of them out off to fight the main road from a massive pier which police. Desperately have tried for friends since the Early Morning but now theyre marching here in the middle of the city as a sign thats very big sign else could be flying hundreds of people were saying already in the early afternoon even before the d its far fetched but they still managed to get together despite the fact that police and military were program saying that journey back to the top 4 of the sugar really wanted to us to show especially to a russian president Vladimir Putin before the meeting of the 2 a president tomorrow that he has everything on the from seoul i mean they dont want him to see these images of thousands of people have marching and shouting and screaming for him to step down 5 and even to be brought to justice for torturing detainees in the last couple of weeks. And as we watch these pictures of some of the processes being bungled the way into van zyl being botched to the ground by mr kissing his Security Forces is that a deliberate policy on the part of the interior ministry or the police so whoever these combat clad individuals off to kind of try and splinter away a little numbers smaller numbers of people who wanted to go to the protest where you are headed now. So we have breaking up but d i think what youre asking if this is the policy 6 of actually detaining people randomly picking the them up from the street detaining them for an unknown amount of pay this is definitely a way to intimidate people from restraining the state in the process because people are definitely d good they have no history of protesting for many of them its the very 1st time in their life they ever took to the streets to demand something from from the state so this is a very new thing and of course being intimidated and being threatened would definitely work in the normal situation but this is not a normal situation people say this country has broken up and because of the torture and the violence that has been used by police in the last couple of weeks people say thats just simply no way back so that not being intimidated right now and they say that shes continuing to go to the street despite this 6 large risk of being a d. J. Ok step well talk to later im sure in the meantime thank you very much. Ok lets go to moscow and get more on that from our correspondent that Alexandra Steele janowicz golf well i think sondra good to talk to again so there is a meeting tomorrow mr lucas shank is going to talk to mr putin how do you think that conversation will shake down i mean how much support does mr lucas inka get from the kremlin now. Well look at going to come to morrow to moscow was a person that left himself no wiggle room in any negotiation so he will be meet here friendly but it will be put to very clearly that all the cards as they are are in the hands of russia now russia recognized him as a president early on after the elections but they waited with their clear support for some time when youre waiting to see how the things are going to develop and once he asked for that support he got it he got it even in a form of a possible Police Forces being sent there if things get completely out of control as russian president Vladimir Putin put it if a certain red lines are crossed so this support that he got from moscow also on the International Level siding with him and the warning everybody else off of what they are saying is the internal matter of belarus this comes with a price tag and we could already hear what the price of this will be in the official announcement of this visit it said that 1. 00 of the topics of their talks is going to be furthering of the integration process is this is actually about the union state between russian valid russia that so far existed only on paper and that is due mostly to look at resistance to further it is integration of process wanting to force a to be the boss in his own country well now he is left with the no negotiations because he badly needs the support of partner of russia as a partner of or not only in the National Stage but also within that domestic terrain and this support did embolden him because what we are seeing now on today on the streets of main square is coming after to support a game d in the meantime he cracked down on the members of the oppositional council driving some out of the country the others are arrested but as we also see these things dont seem to be. Working on the ballad russian population so it will be basically to russia how theyre going to handle this situation without saying arranging or estranging the belorussian population from russia and xandra thank you very much lets talk. About so you know shes a Research Fellow at the belorussian institute for strategic studies she left minsk last month due to safety concerns she joins us from the ukrainian capital kiev sina how do you think todays demonstration will unfold once they get to the president ial compound. And think that maybe there are tactics and blog sites on the protesters and the a cartoonish a lot of these pretty much the same as that seen in the past 36 states of protests and and the only a particularly really observed today is 3rd the various are expanded my purse one day and its much more violent than they did the previous days and i would leave those to the upcoming leading men. And putin and this is an attempt on Michael Schenker side to show that he had some kind of control over the protests which he does not. Always seeing something of a gear change in the look her reaction were into what the 5th week of these very Peaceful Demonstrations where everyone from different demographics is out on the streets protesting against him has it no pivoted from being suppressing a protest here or a demonstration there to suppressing the people across the city and across the country. I would say that look at shankar im sure in this protest this month he has exhausted all the tools he used to apply in the Previous Year where a cure would just so use a large scale progressions to reach people it will get beaten detained and then this led to a scaled down the protests this time this doesnt work anymore and despite many people are beaten detained randomly on the streets are not only the actual protesters are just so random but misses this does not stop the protest and onlookers shank aside as an authoritarian leader he relied mainly on this force and fear and again like this tactics does not work and when it comes to trying to scare people randomly i mean by this police units and right close units when they catch people who are just passing by the police when theyve started theyve used this tactic from the day when the protests start again this is not new what their surrogates are facing now is that they actually dont know what to do next because they protest are not scaled down or that many meeks one of the variables here is this meeting in moscow tomorrow between mr lucas and the russian president Vladimir Putin can missed it. Come out of that meeting with guarantees from the kremlin. So there was an Insider Information leaked on the car and one site that allegedly they will discuss actual transfer power that to to well trying to convince local shanker to leave although not to human incertitude protesters demands but to leave on a more constitutional before him or other way of transfer of power i think about treating. The same talk say they were just too much later and former ally and it makes less and less sense to support him so probably they would talk about some sort of elegant and said to end some reassurances from the question correctly but for him to be the key issue would be how our location current will actually rather than staying power in that situation are we then in a a crisis mode politically because as weve been learning over the past month or 5 weeks the country is like a mini soviet states is a command economy and should the protesters be careful what they wish for because ok mr lucas may go but what comes in to replace him i would say that and more on the protesters some armed people on the Coronation Council and even in the current elites him armed the lets say former diplomats and current minister workers there are enough technocrats enough people with high competences and i think lets say the illiteracy of changes in belarus to once more democratic line and then the country will open up more forums and we will get to extensive support and we have an international of nations and expertise on how to transition towards a more democratic and market economy and society ok we must leave at the council get a National Scene in the ukrainian capital kiev told you mismatch you know thank you very much thank you.
