The president of Belarus has sought help from Russia, as protests grow calling for him to step down.
Alexander Lukashenko says his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, has agreed to help to "ensure the security" of the country if needed.
There has been a week of mass protests against his rule, with members of the state media now joining the ranks.
