Disturbing scenes at Poland-Belarus border, as migrants throw stones towards Polish border guards, and they respond with tear gas and water cannons.
It is worth noting this livestream is done by Russian propaganda TV on the Belarusian side. While Lukashenko allows the media - mostly local and Russian, but also few international - to cover the events,Poland doesn't let journalists near the border,which creates a skewed picture
Ruptly, Shot (ex LifeNews), RT are Russian propaganda media that were present in Eastern Ukraine in the early days of the Russian aggression, providing distorted coverage for international audience. I wouldn't even trust their livestreams because they never show the full picture
It is crucial that independent international media are allowed to operate on both sides of Poland-Belarus border. This is our only chance to know the truth. It's great the BBC crew is on the Belarusian side of the border, I hope they can move freely there
Poland is making a huge mistake by not letting journalists near the border. The videos Polish defense ministry and other government institutions release will never be trusted as much as independent media coverage
