Must impose sanctions on the president Alexander Lukashenko shes in brussels today for a meeting with the e. U. Used top officials the government in belarus is accusing the e. U. Of interfering in its Domestic Affairs comes after tens of thousands of people. Launched from minsk on sunday responding to the president resigning. This is a move. Me this is a leader who. The. Leader. Will be able. To leave. Was with. Me in the movie when he was. In. My pool with me and we get into these is this what you want. To do with. Aljazeera correspondent tracking the story for us in minsk is step fast and step potential all the possibility of sanctions here how do you think that will be received in minsk and also in moscow. Well the pressure is for sure its been a delicate balancing act until now in the past 6 weeks since the start of the political crisis both the opposition and europe have been very careful not to. Put in that russia because they were worried that belarus. Would be much for a push towards russia than ready is the case but now patience is up this meeting between look. Last week resulted in a stronger bond between the 2 leaders put it has reiterated his support again for d. M. Bathilde belorussian leader has promised money 1. 00 and a half 1000000000 u. S. Dollars so now the opposition but also europe is feeling that russia can be engaged in a dialogue any longer so to now putting up the pressure the European Parliament has also adopted a resolution saying they wont accept look past the formal press. So then all of this any longer after the 5th of november thats when his term officially finishes and all this has led to increased anger from the side of the look at santa here in minsk also the Foreign Ministry has complained about the heart of this or to brussels saying that its interfering in the mastic affairs moscow has responded angrily saying similar things also that the e. U. Is under my undermining to suffer energy of belarus and that all the promises that that europe would not engage in a geopolitical battle over bellows appear to not to be true so some harsh words from him from mens and moscow at the moment im assuming here the protesters whove been on the streets for the best part of 6 or 7 weeks i suppose it must be the idea of sanctions they will support the they will approve of it but sanctions in of themselves it doesnt kind of cue or the crisis does it it doesnt necessarily take any heat out of the next protest. No exactly interestingly the protesters have never really called for sanctions you wouldnt see any banners so posters are asking for sanctions also because the protesters also felt of course that this this delicate balance went to russia should not be disturbed basically they also have always been saying that they want to keep their brothers and sisters from russia as they say on their sites of what they want there so for anything they dont want to russia to interfere in these affairs here and theres also this aspect that protests are simply dont believe that sanctions are going to work they believe that look at shanksville completely ignore them as he has done in the past to have been sanctions on velour was before and that he will simply turn to russia for more help but i think for the opposition its an important symbolic sign that they have the support of the European Union to show also to russia that theyre not basically simply put into the russian corner they want to show that they have something to bargain with ok we must leave this to correspond with the reporting live for us from develop russian capital mints.

Now to new york leaders assert to address the United Nations to mark 75 years since its creation the u. N. Secretary general antonio terrorists will open the special ceremony a day ahead of the annual General Assembly but this year the event will be almost entirely virtual because of covert 19 out of the matter go to james bay as reports now from a subdued u. N. Headquarters in new york. The u. N. Is marking its 75th birthday but theres little mood for celebration normally leaders travel from around the world to new york this year none are coming its all being done remotely. The General Assembly hall is often packed in normal years this time it will look like this a strict limit of just one delegate per country i have the immense privilege of addressing you today President Trump seen here last year had toyed with an in person visit again but he decided against it probably because of the lack lost the atmosphere. This year like all the other leaders will be on the big screen only was speeches played on video. Much of the real diplomatic work is normally done join countless face to face meetings but this year the normally bustling corridors are empty well do several Virtual Meetings with as of states in different areas that are very relevant for us but we will miss that contact that personal contact that i believe is very important for the promise it to be think when we look at the ambassador christophe poison is one of germanys most senior diplomats he was charged in the merkels Foreign Affairs advisor and now serves on the Un Security Council a bastard away speaking face to face see to be distance of course in your world diplomacy most of the meetings now Virtual Meetings whats lost when you dont do things in your world face to face diplomacy is about finding solutions finding compromise and you dont get that you know virtually you need to talk to to you know to to the people that have different opinions you have to be able to sort out compromise you have to find out where the red lines and you cannot do that sitting back home and go on on screen you need these personal meetings theres one place that the lack of World Leaders at this years General Assembly will be celebrated and thats among the population of this city it means theyll be no closed roads and no traffic jams with armored convoys on the citys streets. And james joins us live now from the u. N. In new york so james hi there is going to be a very different General Assembly this year. Yes it is peter but clearly the 1st day of this is a celebration all the u. N. Hopes a celebration happy birthday 75 years to the u. N. Of course 75 years ago there was a General Assembly at this time if youre a stickler it took place in the january of 1946 and then the World Leaders had no choice but to come at that point the 1st one was in london in person now the un is saying there is no choice but to have this virtually they didnt have the technology 75 years ago they do now and because of the pandemic theyre going to use it the u. N. Had been hoping the 75th year was going to be a really important one to rebuild International Cooperation to rebuild the idea of multilateralism no the big test this year clearly has been coded 19 and thats been a test that i think in many ways the International System has failed because leaders have looked to their own National Responses rather than an International Response from all the nations in the un this year is look rather irrelevant and coronavirus the pandemic that of course front and center this week absolutely so what are we hoping to hear from World Leaders and what can be done in terms of International Cooperation i put that point to the head of the World Health Organization dr ted ross. One major problem that we see now in the world is lack of global solidarity. Not working together so they should if they are really. You know if theyre going to show commitment to defeating this pandemic its by have being in solidarity thats number 1. 1 of the more important meetings on the corona virus will be on a vaccine a clear we dont have a vaccine yet but the big challenge is if we get one how do you distribute that vaccine how do you make it available to everyone in the world thats one of the challenges facing World Leaders peter but clearly there will also be looking at all the other very difficult issues and conflicts in the world over the next week or so sure understood james will keep us posted im sure in the meantime thank you very much james diplomatic editor.
