News Wrap: 6,000 detained in Belarus as protests continue

Season 2020 Episode 238 | 5m 06s

In our news wrap Wednesday, some 6,000 people in Belarus have been detained after a third straight night of clashes between protesters and police. Demonstrators insist the reelection of President Alexander Lukashenko is illegitimate. Also, at least three people died and six others were hospitalized after a passenger train derailed in Scotland. Severe storms had triggered flash floods in the area.
