BBC: Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko misses event, fuelling health rumours
Belarus' leader Alexander Lukashenko has missed a major state celebration, further fuelling health speculation.
The autocratic politician, 68, usually speaks publicly at the annual National Flag, Emblem and Anthem Day event but his prime minister read a message on his behalf on Sunday.
Last week, Mr Lukashenko left Moscow soon after Victory Day parade, skipping lunch with President Vladimir Putin. Mr Lukashenko looked visibly tired, and his right hand was bandaged.
He was last seen in public laying flowers in the capital Minsk during Belarus' own Victory Day celebrations on 9 May - a few hours after returning from the Russian capital.

What asshole is next in line?
"This is retired Russian Air Force General Vyacheslav Lobuzko. He was paid to set up the national air defense system against cruise missiles and ballistic missiles in Russia. Turns out the system doesn't work because he embezzled the money. He was arrested earlier this month."
