Live From The Streets Of Minsk

A riot policeman chases an opposition protester in central Minsk on December 19.

Last weekend, I covered the disputed election in Belarus and the protest which followed. Here are two interviews I did with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from Minsk's Independence Square as riot police descended upon the crowd.

I had to cut off the first interview when a column of riot police started running towards the area in which I was standing; I rejoined the broadcast a few moments later.
