just mass incarceration system in the modern world. which we. would go to disaster. social media giants go in a purge of accounts touting the pro trump anti. conspiracy theory in a move critics say will only bolster supporters by confirming their fears. by their midday here in moscow this is r.t. internet. start with lebanon whose capital beirut is trying to get back on its feet after the devastating explosion there on tuesday the number of people killed in the massive blast has risen to 154 with thousands more injured search and rescue team just a. clearing rubble in the hope of finding survivors with scores of people still missing

the explosion shock wave wreaked havoc across the city destroying buildings businesses and the u.n. has warned of a humanitarian crisis of 300000 people in need of aid and shelter but is it used on the reports from the dead bring filled streets of favorite. this bus station used to be one of the routes main public transport hubs it was far from an anonymous depo know thousands of people used to travel all around the country before the coronavirus. amid all havoc you can still pinpoint the telltale signs of people's panic of their

rush to leave the area as they were caught up in the blast there are documents left behind on car seats there are luggage bags all over the place and in cars with everything still inside hence the heavy army presence we had to get through a number of military checkpoints on the way here they are warning of marauders and looters but as people ran hundreds of thousands found out they may have no longer a place to call home the son who lives a few 100 meters from the pool it felt something was wrong before the main lost the house says this never again because this is their. career here that. their work or the story goes forward only if. it was not good enough. for me because. there are all. fluid he said over. the war. want you have no. gas now in oregon.

nothing nothing at all it's all for the. coming because there. are you guys this is you go son and his wife with no means to mend their apartment by themselves are telling me they are ready to leave the ruins of no help comes and they are among the lucky ones the actually have someplace else to strive for a better life lebanon already home to syrian and palestinian refugee camps now may need a camp for its own people with over 300000 displaced by the blast because donna from beirut in lebanon r.t. for some locals the day was meant to be a big event for a very different reasons his the moment a wedding photo shoot was suddenly turned to chaos by the blast.

and the. world health organization is warning that beirut's health care system has been badly compromised was already under severe pressure from the code 19 pandemic and on top of the destructive explosion on tuesday put 3 hospitals out of action medics are working around the clock to say the lives of those seriously injured in the tragedy is one heroic nurses story. when the explosion went off the ground shook beneath us the blast held me into another room i opened my eyes and found myself covered in rubble i found my colleagues and friends line here on the ground covered in blood.

in. the neonatal intensive care units were covered in rubble as well i started pulling me to go and start of the units i was terrified because i thought the babies might be crushed under the rubble but thank god they were ok then i took him through this corridor and down 4 flights of stairs. i carried the babies and i was determined to take them to another hospital the only way less than 2 kilograms they had nothing on them except died people on the street give me their t. shirts and clothes so i could read to me simply to nuke the constable i would be on t.v. . i was holding the 3 babies and i didn't know if i was going to be able to rescue them north all

the time was counting the heads on my chest to make sure they were still there. despite the tragedy there will be a protest later on saturday calling on the current government to step down demonstrators say that this government incompetence that led to the deadly disaster and while the binny's president says that the probe into the blast is looking at external interference as a possible cause at the same time the leader of the lebanese political or militia group hezbollah has made his 1st public appearance since the explosion rejecting claims of the group's involvement. but this would not go bomb was it an accident or was something launched deliberately no one knows but local and arab media as well as people in social media started talking before knowing anything directly about what happened he only wanted to highlight of this was the fault of hezbollah and pass the message to beirut and all the lebanese people we respect public opinion

and i can declare that we had nothing to do with this and a struggle was not at all eluding and this is interesting though more that lebanon is once again full of all kind of conspiracy theorists out fortunately and you see all kinds of claims and need your etc which i don't share at all because. there are there is no reasoning at all why there should be and in all meant so it is it's very interesting that. the speech rejecting of the even silencing does kinds of rumors and conspiracies this is a good sign. no matter who wins the next american presidential election the us national counter intelligence and security center apparently knows already which external actor is to blame trump wins like the russians if biden the chinese or the iranians or both those statement by the center's director says that

there are many foreign actors that quote have a preference over the election results tells us voters that china views trump as unpredictable and doesn't want them to win as for russia it's using a range of measures against joe biden and iran could undermine american democracy or trump though has his own views on the matter. i think that the last person russia wants to see in office is donald trump because nobody has been tougher on russia than i have ever the last thing that russia wants and china wants and iran wants would be for donald trump to win. going underground spoke to american philosopher and political activist cornell west about the upcoming election and also the rise of the bellamy but as a preview of what's to come. i've got to say angela davis on this show endorsed endorsed joe biden in november no i'm chomsky is endorsed joe biden do you think that joe biden will save us from another

nuclear conflagration as we commemorate the dead of hiroshima where you know my dear brother the world at the. moment go because. we're of course now we've got it military units round we're russia and china 33rd we've got $4800.00 military units in the whole world including the united states are there more senior legacy is one in which we have to take very seriously the relation to poverty and all militarism at home and abroad i can never get divorced an architect of the largest mass incarceration system in the modern world will target poor people disproportionate black brown or people have a choice between a deal liberal disaster you know asked yes 'd i would go to the older will disaster that's about me americans are sick impact is a spiteful impact it's a most unpleasant empire we've got another wonderful human being on the inside

we've got some movement on the inside we've got a magnificent courageous and visionary citizen on the inside but we are losing. we are losing we're resisting but we're still losing the greed the hatred wall street pentagon is they are in control of the empire and. what is different about these uprisings so this is what's in los angeles in 165 and before and after the beautiful thing is that you have. coming together and making the connection between not just police power and police murder but the tweet police our lease murder wall street our wall street crimes and pentagon power and pentagon crimes once you make those connections that connect to the most cheap make and market mix made another big make the family look rabbi abraham dos were. able to make. greatest intellectual alone with no chance and been making for most of his

intellectual ones every day people begin to make those connections then we're on to something those killers are being made more now than they were before. and if you want to watch the full episode of that you can catch it later here today are not international. facebook has become the latest social media platform to crack down on q. and on conspiracy content up to deleting a group with some 200000 members for violating the platforms guidelines believes of the french far right conspiracy theory and voicing their support for president trump ahead of november's election results east on quarter explains the move it has only grown despite being snubbed by political and media elites. in the world of q. and a nod labeled by the u.s. government as one of the most dangerous conspiracy theories of all time humanity is at war and president trump is here to save it he went on which essentially believes

the entirety of the democratic party are conspiring and running an underground pedophile sex trafficking ring pacifically would cue in on is a free nation in which many baseless conspiracy theories are discussed on the internet the search for interest in q one comes as the us skews a predilection a few years ago it was a fringe theory and tomorrow the headlines will be massive protests a few is a bunch of people there on the inside to the good guys and they know the real story what's going on and it's all about in the deep state and so now we are back to donald trump was picked by military leaders to run for president as a way to kind of bring down the state it's still on the f.b.i.'s list of domestic terror threats but as of late it's been entering into the mainstream even made an appearance on america's most watched television network q.

can do some crazy stuff with the pizza stuff and the way for stuff but they've also uncovered a lot of great stuff when it comes to epstein and it comes with a deep state 2020 has been a year like no other and one big events happen people look for explanations so it should come as little surprise that politicians are looking to capitalize on that sentiment around 70 former and current congressional candidates have already given their public approval would you consider yourself a follower of you and on what does that mean. well i think what we need to recognize and actually most people do know a lot about it is that there is a deep state that exists it's not clear whether these people really believe in q.a. on or they're just trying to win some political points but whatever the case queuing on has some seriously high profile supporters and the media is raising the alarm over it but for many q. a non's rise in popularity is the result of that media went on is this just in a mall the mace you know all of the greatest conspiracy theories thrown into one big believe i've only been actively posting it say for the past couple of months

but the response is insane constantly focusing airtime on attacking the president could very well have pushed trump supporters to more radical ideas and a ministration defined by ignorance of the world so that's partly him playing to their base and playing to their audience you know the credulous boomer rube demo that backs total trauma combined that with the violence many people are facing in the us and you have yourself a very allien ating situation if you have a group of people who say that there are insidious forces working against them to keep the word of trump from being disseminated and their band yes that fuel that that shows them nor right when you are being overwhelmed right now by everything that is so not just left wing but radically left wing the only response that people can have the only rational

response that many many people can add to that is a pendulum swing to the rate which might be which might lead to a some case an over exuberant. to robust embrace of war law and order and rules and regulations in policing and that may be fine for some people. but the point must be made that you are going to be encouraging people and recruiting more americans or more voters to take on positions that a few years ago they might not positions that many many people today would be considering the right way or even ultra right or fringe right whatever that means. chinese video showing up to talk threatens the us with legal action after the trump borders 1st to stop doing business with the story of up to the very.

same wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to become educated and gain from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development that only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be

successful very critical time to sit down and talk. with. schoolchildren are told that unlike sticks and stones words will never hurt them but a 9 year old girl in germany has been punished by her teachers for speak her native turkish in the playground her parents and are planning to sue the school our correspondent peter oliver has the story there's a role brewing in southwest germany over the languages spoken in school it's after a 9 year old girl was given this punishment essay to write to speak turkish the children speak german school in germany the official language is german you want us

to speak german the schools are german if you speak turkish the children won't understand us we're not allowed to speak our mother tongue so we can speak german that's all i know the local school authority told r.t. that the german only policy is in place so that everyone students and teachers all speak a common language 43 percent of children are from migrant backgrounds so it's important for everyone to speak the same language so the school can fulfill its educational mission the rule we all speak german is also part of the class rules of school which drawn up jointly by all pupils and explained at parents' evenings it was agreed that in the event a violation of this rule. an essay on the topic why we speak german at school must be written that's not good enough for the family or their lawyer he says that this rule targets the turkish language in particular it was didn't hear in the.

the school break this talking for example through an english or who in french of whom chinese or through latin i cannot believe that teacher would say whoa this is poor women please don't do this i think every teacher would say and show this person as an example or good teaching the family or want to know if there was an on equal treatment of. child and you cannot forbid you to talk in your mother tongue you know and this of course affects all your personality or your identity and also this perfect human rights of german constitutional law there was not such a general rule to talk only in german language in the school building and also this issue which happen was. one by one

they don't allow us to use skype and they don't allow google search so let's go back and say you want to be fair this is how we can be said christie made a very good point about the fact that the irony of it is actually while weigh them will become stronger in china but the thing is it's the chinese also that are scared the chinese are so scared that's why they ban even facebook on top of all the things i mentioned so what's important here so look at fairness the chinese have never been fair that's not my personal opinion that's just the simple fact they can open up their markets and open up ours i think was one of the 1st presidents to actually say wait a 2nd we're not going to do this here if we can't do that there that's what he's been saying whether it's the e.u. or whether it's china let's be fair open up china and have a different discussion but they're not going to do that this ban is coming from the same place as the ban on the hallway it's a place of fear that the u.s. is no longer the global dominant tech innovate of the world the u.s. has led tech innovation for the last couple of decades but recently ever since the rise of the rise of 5 g. that threaten the u.s.

its dominance on communications with the rise of tick-tock that there in the u.s. is dominance and social media and eroded on its influence and finally we chat and the u.s. is dominant in the area of digital payments and then tech so everybody knows that the future is tech and whoever dominates tech will be the next superpower. signal days on the passenger jet disaster in india and officials have confirmed that 18 people were killed after the plane skidded off the runways trying to land in the southern state of corolla 127 were injured among the dead are both pilots the air india express jet was returning from dubai carrying 190 passengers home after they'd been left stranded overseas by the coronavirus pandemic the boeing 737 broke into 2 pieces after leaving the runway at high speed will suspect the tragedy was caused by heavy rain and poor visibility or further investigations yet to be

vulnerable were abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops. in august 1 9452 atomic bombs were dropped on the japanese cities of hiroshima and nagasaki and. to this day opinion remains divided as to the real reason behind america's decision to use nuclear weapons but with no possible military justification for dropping a bomb i have no question that there were those in the us military who pursued the next as the so. and planning in october of 1945 had chosen 20 targets in russia in the 70 years since the bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki countless books and films have off the many justification for and arguments against
