GOVERNMENT AND THE FUTURE OF THE
PARTY.

IN COVID CASES IN MANITOBA.
>> THIS IS KIND OF THAT -- THAT
WAKE-UP CALL A BIT TO MANITOBANS 
MANITOBANS.
>> Ian: FROM REFUGEE CAMP TO THE
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL, CANADIAN
SOCCER PHENOM ALPHONSO DAVIES
MAKES HISTORY.
THIS IS "THE NATIONAL."
(*)
>>> FOR THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY
OF CANADA THIS WAS A
HISTORY-MAKING LEADERSHIP RACE.
IT ENDED WITH A TWIST -- AN
HOURS LONG DELAY THAT FRAYED
NERVES AND PERHAPS HEIGHTENED
THE DRAMA BEFORE THE DECISION
CAME.
[Cheers and Applause]
EARLY MONDAY MORNING OTTAWA TIME
A NEW LEADER OF THE PARTY WAS
ANNOUNCED.
ERIN O'TOOLE WILL NOW HAVE TO
DECIDE WHETHER HE WANTS TO TRY
TO BRING DOWN THE MINORITY
LIBERAL GOVERNMENT AND CAMPAIGN
FOR PRIME MINISTER.
SO A BIG DAY FOR THE PARTY AND
ALSO MUCH LONGER THAN ANYONE
EXPECTED.
CATHERINE CULLEN TAKES US
THROUGH THE DRAMA AND THE
DELAYS.
[Applause]
>> Reporter: IT'S THE MOMENT
THAT ERIN O'TOOLE HAD BEEN
WAITING FOR.
IN AND THIS CASE THERE WAS A
LITTLE EXTRA WAITING INVOLVED.
>> CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS ACROSS
THIS COUNTRY HAVE BEEN PATIENT
THROUGHOUT THIS LEADERSHIP RACE,
AS CANADIANS HAVE BEEN THROUGH
COVID-19.
>> Reporter: WHILE THIS NIGHT
WAS ABOUT BIG POLITICAL
PRINCIPLES AND ASPIRATIONS, THE
HICK YUM CAME DOWN TO THE
MACHINES OPENING UP THE
ENVELOPES FOR THE RECORD OF
NEARLY 175,000 BALLOTS.
>> THEY'RE OPENED AUTOMATICALLY
BY AN ACTUAL MACHINE, AND WHAT'S
BEEN HAPPENING IS THAT THE
MACHINE IS RIPPING OR CUTTING
SOME OF THESE BALLOTS.
>> Reporter: AS THE CANDIDATES
WAITED ANXIOUSLY WITH THEIR
TEAMS AND FAMILIES, THE OUTGOING
LEADER SET THE BAR FOR THE
WINNER.
>> THE NEXT LEADER HAS TO REACH
THAT NEXT TIER OF CANADIAN
VOTERS THAT WE KNOW THAT ARE OUT
THERE, THAT ARE OPEN TO VOTING
FOR US.
WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO
CONNECT.
>> Reporter: THE SUSPENSE KEPT
DRAGGING OUT --
>> THEY'RE NOT GOING TO GIVE US
THE RESULTS RIGHT AWAY.
>> Reporter: AND DRAGGING
OUT --
>> SO A DISAPPOINTMENT, OF
COURSE, AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE.
SO IT'S MORE STRESS.
BUT I THINK THAT EVERYTHING IS
BEING LOOKED UPON IN A VERY
OFFICIAL WAY.
>> Reporter: FINALLY, SIX
HOURS BEHIND SCHEDULE --
>> SO NOW THE MOMENT THAT WE
HAVE WAITED FOR, DAN.
>> Reporter: IT TOOK THREE
ROUNDS OF VOTING,.
>> MISS LEWIS, 10,140 POINTS.
>> Reporter: AND A STRONG
SHOWING FROSHOWING FROM NEWCOMER LESLYN
LEWIS, BUT IN THE END IT WAS
O'TOOLE'S NIGHT.
>> ERIN O'TOOLE IS THE NEW
LEADER OF THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY
OF CANADA.
CONGRATULATIONS, MR. O'TOOLE.
[Cheers and Applause]
>> Reporter: THE ONTARIO M.P.
RAN A CAMPAIGN PITCHING HIMSELF
AS A TRUE BLUE CONSERVATIVE, AND
OFTEN COMBATIVE AND SPEAKING OUT
WHAT HE CALLED THE RADICAL LEFT
AND TWITTER MOBS.
BUT IN HIS SPEECH O'TOOLE TALKED
ABOUT UNITING THE PARTY AND
APPEALING TO ALL CANADIANS.
>> TO THE MILLIONS OF CANADIANS
THAT ARE STILL UP THAT I AM
MEETING TONIGHT FOR THE FIRST
TIME, GOOD MORNING, I AM ERIN
O'TOOLE.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING AND
HEARING A LOT FROM ME IN THE
COMING WEEKS AND MONTHS.
BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW FROM THE
START THAT I'M HERE TO FIGHT FOR
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
[Applause]
>> THE NEXT PRIME MINISTER.
>> Reporter: THAT MESSAGE IS
FOR THE NEXT CAMPAIGN TO WIN THE
FEDERAL ELECTION HAS ALREADY
BEGUN.
CATHERINE CULLEN, CBC NEWS,
OTTAWA.
>> Ian: LET'S BRING IN OUR CHIEF
CORRESPONDENT ROSEMARY BARTON ON
THONTHE AIR FOR HOURS.
AND LOOKING BACK AT ERIN
O'TOOLE'S SPEECH, HE WAS SMILING
AND HAD A LOT OF ENERGY.
DID HE SEND THE RIGHT MESSAGE DO
YOU THINK WITH THAT SPEECH?
>> Rosemary: THE SHIFT THAT
HAD TO HAPPEN TONIGHT, IAN, HOW
DO YOU GO FROM BEING A
LEADERSHIP CANDIDATE TO BEING
THE LEADER OF THE PARTY AND THE
LEADER OF THE OFFICIAL
OPPOSITION.
SO HE COULDN'T JUST BE THE
THINGS THAT CONSERVATIVE PARTY
MEMBERS WANTED TO HEAR, WHICH IS
WHAT WE HEARD FROM ERIN O'TOOLE
THROUGHOUT THE CAMPAIGN.
AND WAS OFTEN NEGATIVE IN TONE,
FRANKLY, PARTICULARLY
CRITICISING THE GOVERNMENT.
HERE CERTAINLY THERE WAS
CRITICISM OF THE LIBERAL
GOVERNMENT AND THE THINGS THAT
THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY WOULD DO
DIFFERENTLY BUT THERE WAS ALSO A
REAL APPEAL TO A BROAD SWATH OF
CANADIANS AND PERHAPS CANADIANS
THAT HAVEN'T LOOKED AT THE
CONSERVATIVE PARTY IN SOME TIME
FOR THEM TO TRY TO RECONSIDER
AND GIVE THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY
A SECOND LOOK.
THERE WERE PARTS OF THE SPEECH
THAT ADDRESSED ALBERTA BECAUSE
HE REALIZES THAT THERE'S A
QUESTION OF WESTERN ALIENATION
THAT IS STILL PREVALENT IN THIS
COUNTRY.
AND A PART OF THE SPEECH THAT
REACHED OUT TO QUESTION BECK AS
WELL, EVEN THOUGH HE ADMITS THAT
HIS FRENCH IS NOT PERFECT,
APPEALING TO QUÉBEC NATIONALISTS
THAT THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY
COULD BE A PLACE TO CALL HOME.
SO IN TERMS OF A SPEECH OF A
LEADER, WHO WANTS TO BE PRIME
MINISTER ONE DAY, HE HIT THE
RIGHT MARK IN TERMS OF REACH OUT
TO REGULAR CANADIANS AS WELL AS
CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS.
>> Ian: SO AFTER PRESUMABLY SOME
SLEEP, WHAT IS NEXT FOR HIM AND
THE PARTY?
>> Rosemary: IT'S EASIER FOR
MR. O'TOOLE BECAUSE HE ALREADY
HAS A SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS WHEN THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS RESUMES FOR THE THRONE
SPEECH ON SEPTEMBER 23rd,
HE'LL OBVIOUSLY HAVE A CRITICAL
ROLE IN CRITICISING THE
GOVERNMENT AND HOLDING THE
GOVERNMENT TO ACCOUNT.
BUT HE MIGHT WANT TO MOVE PEOPLE
AROUND IN THEIR CRITIC ROLES
INSIDE OF THE SHADOW CABINET.
HE'LL WANT TO GET HIS STAFF IN
PLACE PRETTY QUICKLY.
HE HAS FOUR TO FIVE WEEKS TO DO
THAT BEFORE PARLIAMENT COMES
BACK.
SO HE'LL WANT TO SEND SOME
SIGNALS ABOUT UNITY, PEOPLE THAT
HE APPRECIATES AND THE SORT OF
THE DIRECTION THAT THE PARTY
WANTS TO TAKE.
COULD THAT MEAN AN ELECTION?
IT COULD.
BUT HE'LL HAVE TO FIND SOME
OTHER DANCING PARTNERS WITH THE
BLOC QUÉBEC AND THE N.D.P. AND
SO IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE HOW
HE APPROACHES THOSE OPPOSITION
PARTIES TOO AS HE CONSIDERS WHAT
IS NEXT FOR THE CONSERVATIVE
PARTY.
>> Ian: REALLY NICE WORK TONIGHT
AND THIS MORNING, ROSEMARY.
THANK YOU.
>> Rosemary: THANK YOU, IAN.
>> Ian: TO THE UNITED STATES AND
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
CONVENTION WILL KICK OFF
TOMORROW IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH
CAROLINA, GIVING DONALD TRUMP A
NIGHTLY CASE TO MAKE A CASE FOR
A SECOND TERM.
AS PAUL HUNTER REPORTS, NEW
TAPES FROM TRUMP'S OWN SISTER
SHOWS THAT SHE DOESN'T THINK
THAT HE'S FIT FOR OFFICE.
>> Reporter: LIKE WITH
DEMOCRATS LAST WEEK, IT MEANS
THAT THE COMING REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION WILL BE LIKE NO
OTHER.
PART OF IT IN NORTH CAROLINA,
PART OF IT IN AND AROUND THE
WHITE HOUSE.
AS THE PARTY GETS SET TO
NOMINATE DONALD TRUMP FOR
RE-ELECTION.
PROMISING AN UPBEAT, OPTIMISTIC
PROGRAMME THIS WEEK.
>> WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE
AMERICAN STORY, ABOUT ALL OF THE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE'VE HAD
OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS WITH
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
AND WHAT THE PRESIDENT'S SECOND
TERM VISION IS GOING TO LOOK
LIKE.
>> [CHANTING]
>> Reporter: THIS WEEKEND NEAR
THE SITE OF THE CONVENTION IN
CHARLOTTE, BLACK LIVES MATTER
DEMONSTRATORS WITH AN INDICATOR
THAT IT WILL BE A RAUCOUS FEW
DAYS.
>> HANDS UP --
>> DON'T SHOOT.
>> Reporter: INDEED FROM THAT
ISSUE TO TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT AND
THE INNER CIRCLE SCANDALS TO HIS
HANDLING OF THE COVID CRISIS,
POLLS SHOW THAT MOST AMERICANS
DISAPPROVE OF HIS PRESIDENCY.
TRUMP HAD LONG POINTED TO A
GROWING ECONOMY AS A KEY
ARGUMENT FOR RE-ELECTION, BUT
COVID HAS TURNED THAT ON ITS EAR
AS WELL.
AND NOW MORE FAMILY TROUBLE.
>> ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS TO
APPEAL TO HIS BASE.
HE HAS NO PRINCIPLES.
NONE, NONE.
>> Reporter: TRUMP'S OWN
SISTER MARYANNE TRUMP BARRY IN
SECRETLY RECORDED AUDIO OUT THIS
WEEKEND AS SHE SPEAKS WITH
TRUMP'S NIECE WHO HAS WRITTEN A
SCATHING TELL-ALL BOOK.
IN THE AUDIO TRUMP'S SISTER
CALLS HIM A CRUEL PHONY.
>> HE'LL CHANGE HIS STORIES AND
THE LACK OF PREPARATION AND THE
LYING, HOLY [BLEEP]
>> Reporter: THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN TODAY DISMISSED IT.
>> THIS IS SOMETHING,
UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN YOU GET TO
THE WHITE HOUSE THAT YOU HAVE
FAMILY MEMBERS WHO SOMETIMES
DECIDE TO VOICE THEIR SIBLING
RIVALRIES OR FRUSTRATIONS.
>> Reporter: AND SO TO THE
CONVENTION -- EXPECT PRIMETIME
SPEECHES BY OTHER MEMBERS OF
TRUMP'S FAMILY AS WELL AS FROM
SENIOR REPUBLICANS.
AND OF COURSE, TRUMP HIMSELF IN
FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE, DESPITE
THE PANDEMIC.
SAY CONVENTION ORGANIZERS,
EXPECT SURPRISES.
PAUL HUNTER, CBC NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
>> Ian: AND A SURPRISE DEPARTURE
FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT,
TRUMP ADVISOR KELLYANNE CONWAY,
ONE OF THE PRESIDENT'S CLOSEST
ALLIES, IS LEAVING THE
ADMINISTRATION.
IN A STATEMENT CONWAY SAID THAT
SHE WILL TRANSITION FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE AT THE END OF THIS
MONTH CITING A NEED TO SPEND
MORE TIME WITH FAMILY.
HER HUSBAND GEORGE CONWAY IS
ALSO LEAVING HIS POST AT THE
LINCOLN PROJECT.
A POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
THAT VOTED TO PREVENTING TRUMP'S
RE-ELECTION.
>>> WELL, TURN TO CANADA'S
COVID-19 SITUATION AND HERE'S A
LOOK AT THE NUMBERS ON SUNDAY
NIGHT.
IT WAS LARGELY QUIET IN THE
EAST, JUST THREE NEW POSITIVE
TESTS IN ATLANTIC CANADA.
QUÉBEC WAS DOWN FROM YESTERDAY
WITH 74 NEW CASES.
ONTARIO, UP SLIGHTLY TO 115.
B.C. AND ALBERTA DIDN'T REPORT
NUMBERS TODAY BUT MANITOBA
ANNOUNCED AN ALARMING UPTICK, A
RECORD 72 NEW CASES.
EASILY THE HIGHEST ONE-DAY COUNT
SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN.
MOST OF THESE NEW CASES ARE IN
SOUTHWESTERN MANITOBA, WHICH
STRUGGLES WITH A NUMBER OF
SERIOUS CLUSTERS, INCLUDING IN
CLOSE KNIT HUTTERITE
COMMUNITIES.
STOKING TENSIONS BETWEEN THEM
AND THE BROADER POPULATION.
THAT REGION WILL SEE TOUGHER
RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED TOMORROW.
AUSTIAUSTIN GRABISH WALKS US THROUGH
THE SITUATION.
>> THIS KIND OF THAT WAKE-UP
CALL A BIT TO MANITOBANS THAT WE
ARE SEEING INCREASED NUMBERS AND
THAT WE NEED TO FOCUS BACK ON
THE FUN FUNDAMENTALS.
>> Reporter: THE WAKE-UP CALL
THAT NO ONE WANTED, MANITOBA
HAVING THE BIGGEST SPIKE IN
CASES SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN.
72 PEOPLE ILL WITH THE
CORONAVIRUS, THE MAJORITY ON
HUTTERITE COMMUNITIES.
>> IT'S IMPORTANT TO LOOK PAST
THE LARGE NUMBER TODAY TO
UNDERSTAND THAT A SIGNIFICANT
PART OF TODAY'S REPORTED NUMBERS
IS BECAUSE THERE IS TESTING
GOING ON ON COLONIES.
>> Reporter: MANITOBA HEALTH
OFFICIALS SAY THAT THEY'RE ALSO
SEEING THE VIRUS SPREAD RIGHT
NOW IN YOUNG PEOPLE AND WARN
THAT SOME HAVE LOST TRACK OF THE
FUNDAMENTALS.
>> THERE ARE SOME FOOLISH
NON-HUTTERITE MANITOBANS, AND
THERE ARE SOME FOOLISH
HUTTERITES.
AND THEY ALL NEED TO BE TOLD TO
DO THE RIGHT THING.
>> Reporter: KENNY WALMAN IS
WITH THE SAFETY COUNCIL AND HE
SAYS THAT COVID-19 HAS KILLED
MULTIPLE PEOPLE ON MANITOBA
HUTTERITE COLONIES.
AND IN CERTAIN COMMUNITIES THERE
WERE SO MANY POSSIBLE CASES THAT
HEALTH CARE WORKERS CAME ON-SITE
TO DO TESTING.
HE SAYS THAT HUTTERITES, WHO DO
EVERYTHING TOGETHER, ARE TRYING
TO ADAPT.
>> OUR COMMUNAL KITCHENS ARE
CLOSED AND OUR DAILY WORSHIP
SERVICES HAVE TO BE REORGANIZED.
>> Reporter: A STERN REMINDER
THAT COVID-19 IS STILL HERE.
>> THEY NEED TO MANDATE MASKS.
>> I WAS GOING THROUGH THE
RESTAURANTS THERE AND I THOUGHT
TWICE ABOUT IT FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN QUITE SOME TIME.
>> CONCERNING AND THE SCHOOLS
ARE GOING TO OPEN.
SO PROBABLY GOING TO INCREASE.
>> Reporter: STARTING TOMORROW
ALL PUBLIC GATHERINGS ARE
LIMITED TO 10 PEOPLE IN THE
AFFECTED SOUTHWESTERN REGION OF
MANITOBA.
YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO BE REQUIRED
TO WEAR ONE OF THESE IN ALL
PUBLIC INDOOR SPACES AS WELL AS
ANY PUBLIC GATHERING.
AUSTIN DASHISH, CBC NEWS CBCAUSTIN GRABISH
, CBC NEWS,
WINNIPEG.
>> Ian: AND WARNINGS ARE STILL
NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY SOME.
FOR THE SECOND NIGHT IN A ROW,
VICTORIA POLICE BROKE UP A PARTY
OF YOUNG PEOPLE HELD IN THE SAME
SMALL APARTMENT DESPITE TOUGH
NEW FINES FOR BREAKING COVID
RULES.
BRIAR STEWART IS TRACKING THAT
FOR US TONIGHT.
>> Reporter: WELL, IT DIDN'T
TAKE LONG FOR OFFICERS TO LAY
FINES UNDER NEW STRICT
ENFORCEMENT MEASURES.
THEY WERE ROLLED OUT BY THE
PROVINCE ON FRIDAY AND DESIGNED
TO ACT AS A DETERRENT AT A TIME
WHEN COVID-19 CASES ARE RISING
IN B.C.
BUT MORE THAN $2,000 FINE WASN'T
ENOUGH TO STOP ONE HOST WHO HAD
A PARTY SHUT DOWN ON FRIDAY AND
THEN ANOTHER ONE THIS MORNING.
POLICE IN VICTORIA HEARD ABOUT
THE FIRST PARTY ON SOCIAL MEDIA
AND WARNED THE HOST ABOUT BEING
FINED.
BUT THE PARTY WENT AHEAD.
POLICE ESTIMATE THAT THROUGHOUT
THE NIGHT THAT THERE WERE
BETWEEN 40 AND 60 PEOPLE THERE,
ALL IN AN APARTMENT THAT WAS
JUST A FEW HUNDRED SQUARE FEET.
>> PEOPLE WERE SWEATING,
OFFICERS THAT WERE THERE ALL
NOTED JUST THE AMOUNT OF HEAT
COMING FROM THIS ONE BEDROOM
SUITE AS THERE WERE SO MANY
PEOPLE INSIDE OF A SMALL SPACE.
THE WINDOWS HAD ACTUALLY FOGGED
UP AND THERE WAS MOISTURE IN THE
ROOM.
>> Reporter: THEY GAVE THE
HOST A $2,300 FINE.
UNDER NEW ENFORCEMENT MEASURES,
PEOPLE CAN BE FINED IF THEY HOLD
AN EVENT WITH MORE THAN 50
PEOPLE.
OR EVEN IF THERE'S A SMALLER
GROUP, BUT NOT ENOUGH SPACE TO
PHYSICALLY DISTANCE.
THEY CAN ALSO BE FINED IF THEY
DON'T KEEP CONTACT TRACING.
>> IF YOU'RE IGNORANT AND STUPID
ENOUGH TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO
ATTEND AN EVENT AND NOT TO
FOLLOW THE PROVINCIAL HEALTH
OFFICER ORDERS, THEN YOU'RE
SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR A FINE.
>> Reporter: BUT THE LARGE
FINE WASN'T THE END OF PARTYING
AT THE APARTMENT BECAUSE THIS
MORNING OFFICERS WERE CALLED
AGAIN.
THIS TIME ONE OF THE 15 GUESTS
GOT A $230 FINE FOR REFUSING TO
LEAVE.
>> THAT'S INSANE.
YEAH, NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO
PARTY, EVERYBODY, RIGHT?
YEAH.
100%, JUST STAY HOME AND KEEP
YOUR BUBBLE SMALL.
>> I THINK THAT THERE HAS TO BE
BIG CONSEQUENCES FOR THAT KIND
OF STUFF JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE
BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT FOR SO
LONG.
>> Reporter: NOW POLICE DID
NOT FINE THE HOST FOR THE SECOND
PARTY, SAYING THEY CAN USE
DISCRETION IN THESE SITUATIONS.
OFFICIALS SAY THAT INDOOR
GATHERINGS LIKE HOUSE PARTIES
ARE PARTICULARLY CHALLENGING TO
CRACK DOWN ON, BUT THEY'RE ALSO
RISKY WHEN IT COMES TO THE
POTENTIAL SPREAD OF THE VIRUS.
IAN?
>> Ian: BRIAR STEWART REPORTING
FROM VANCOUVER THIS EVENING.

STATEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT OF
BELARUS.

>> Ian: IN BELARUS, THOUSANDS
HAVE CONTINUED TO PROTEST
AGAINST PRESIDENT ALEXANDER
LUKASHENKO AND THE ELECTION THEY
SAY THAT HE RIGGED TWO WEEKS
AGO.
PROTESTERS SENT LUKASHENKO A
STRONG MESSAGE TODAY.
BUT AS CHRIS BROWN SHOWS US, THE
PRESIDENT SENT THEM A MESSAGE
TOO.
>> Reporter: ONCE AGAIN THIS
WEEKEND AN ENORMOUS CROWD OF
BELARUSIANS DEFIED THEIR
PRESIDENT AND ORDERS FROM THEIR
COUNTRY'S ARMY TO STAY HOME.
>> WE ARE HERE TO SHOW THAT WE
NEVER ELECTED HIM.
AND THAT WE WANT CHANGE.
THAT WE WANT A NEW COUNTRY WITH
A NEW PRESIDENT.
>> Reporter: BUT THE MAN THEY
WANT OUT, PRESIDENT ALEXANDER
LUKASHENKO WHO RULED BELARUS FOR
26 YEARS, HAD A MESSAGE OF HIS
OWN TO DELIVER.
HE FLEW OVER THE CROWD IN A
HELICOPTER.
AND THEN EMERGED IN A BULLET
PROOF VEST CARRYING AN AK-47
MACHINE GUN, BEFORE MINGLING
WITH THE RIOT POLICE, CHEERING
THEM ON.
HOWEVER, UNLIKE EARLIER PROTESTS
WHERE THE DEMONSTRATORS RECEIVED
HORRIFIC BEATINGS, TODAY'S
REMAINED MOSTLY PEACEFUL.
LUKASHENKO WAS RE-ELECTED TWO
WEEKS AGO IN A VOTE MANY INSIDE
AND OUTSIDE OF BELARUS CLAIM WAS
RIGGED.
HE HAS FOUGHT CALLS FOR HIS
RESIGNATION BY ORDERING HIS OWN
RALLIES.
NATO FORCES ARE APPROACHING HE
SAID ON SATURDAY, FALSELY,
SAYING THAT FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS
ARE THE SOURCE OF HIS PROBLEMS
AND NOT UNHAPPINESS AT HOME.

LIKELY WON, THE FORMER ENGLISH
TEACHER SVETLANA TIKHANOVSKAYA.
HER HUSBAND HAD PLANNED TO RUN
FOR THE PRESIDENCY, BUT WHEN HE
WAS JAILED SHE RAN IN HIS PLACE.
>> THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE, THEY WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO ACCEPT HIM AS THE
NEW PRESIDENT.
THEY WILL NOT ALLOW TO TREAT
THEM AS THEY DID BEFORE.
>> Reporter: THE MACHINE GUN
PHOTO-OP IS NO DOUBT
LUKASHENKO'S WAY OF SAYING THAT
HE'S GOING TO FIGHT ON.
MANY WONDERED IF THE
INTIMIDATION TACTICS BY POLICE
AND THE ARMY MIGHT SIGNAL THAT
THE OPPOSITION IS LOSING STEAM.
TODAY'S LARGE TURNOUT SUGGESTS
NOT.

THINK TO A LOT OF YOUNG PEOPLE
AND ESPECIALLY ME TOO.

IN 2018, SIX MONTHS BEFORE
JOINING BAYERN MUNICH, HE SAID
THAT HE PLAYS IN THE BEST
INTEREST OF HIS TEAM, WHILE
ALWAYS ENJOYING THE GAME.

SKILLS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
AS A PERSON, I'M A FUN GUY AND I
LIKE TO SMILE A LOT.

QUICK AND HE JUST HAD NATURAL
TOUCH TO THE -- WITH THE BALL.
