Belarusian opposition politician Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya said she was ready to lead Belarus and called for the creation of a legal mechanism to ensure that a new fair presidential election could be held
His apparent concession came after exiled opposition politician Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya said she was willing to lead the country.
He told workers on Monday there would be no new presidential election, something the opposition wants, until he was killed. “I am ready to take responsibility and act as a national leader during this period,” Tsikhanouskaya said, saying it was essential to make the most of the momentum generated by a week of protests.
The broadcaster was showing re-runs of old programmes on Monday morning before issuing a fresh news bulletin. Videos circulating on social media suggested BT had at one point aired footage of an empty studio with white sofas, and music playing.
