BBC World Service - Newshour, Protesters defy heavy security in Belarus

People have been beaten up by men in plainclothes in the streets of Minsk

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

The latest demonstrations in the Belarussian capital Minsk, have seen more than a hundred thousand people turn out  on the city's streets to call for the authoritarian president, Alexander Lukashenko, to go. Riot police were out in force. We hear from two protesters. We also have an interview with the foreign minister of Lithuania. 

Also in the programme: Airlifts are continuing in California to rescue holidaymakers trapped by an advancing wildfire; and Russia's famous Bolshoi theatre reopens.
