just mass incarceration system. but a choice between a. 'd disaster. and social media giants go in a purge of accounts touting the. conspiracy theory and a move critics say will only supporters by confirming their fields. by the way with r.t. international thanks for joining us. let's start with lebanon whose capital beirut is trying to get back on its feet after the devastating explosion that occurred there on tuesday the number of people killed in the blast has risen to 154 with thousands of others injured. search and rescue teams are still 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 homes the u.n. is one of a humanitarian crisis with 300000 people in need of aid and shelter but easy to stand for ports from the debris field 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 on 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 holding off 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 blast the house says this never again. is that. area here that. work or this goes forward only so there was not good enough. for me because. there are all. are you flew as you said over. the war. you know why you have no go. now you know again.

nothing nothing at all it's all for the help coming because there were tears in the car because this is a big problem 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 to see. some locals a day was meant to be a big event for every different reasons here's the moment a wedding photo shoot has suddenly turned to chaos but a blast. the

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

actually the near natal intensive care units were covered in rubble as well i started pulling new guns out 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 them for 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 simply. the constant value in the on people. 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 it's government incompetence that led to the deadly disaster while the lebanese president says that the probe into the bus is looking at external interference as a possible cause for the same time the leader of the lebanese political the militant group hezbollah has made his 1st public appearance since the explosion rejecting claims of the groups and bob. but this one was 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 that this was the fault of hezbollah and pass the message to be root and all the lebanese people we respect public opinion and i can declare that we had nothing to do with this and our struggle was not at all

eluding and this is interesting do more or that levanon this once again full of all kind of conspiracy theorists out fortunately and you see all kinds of claims on media or 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 i would see 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 counterintelligence and security center partly knows already which external actor is to blame if trump wins thank the russians biden the chinese or the iranians or both that a statement by the census director says that there are many foreign actors that

quote have a preference over the election results tells us voters china views trump earth unpredictable and has wanted to win a super rusher it's using a range of measures against joe biden and iran could undermine american democracy or 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 once 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 bella name and here's a preview of what's ahead. 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 a military units round we're russia and china to get $3030.00 we've got $4800.00 military units in the whole world including the united states or more seem to 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 me or people just because you black brown poor people i had 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 the number one of what 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 since 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 our police murder but between police power least murder wall street power wall street crime pentagon power and began once you make those connections and connect to the most cheap make them up the mix made another big hit me the family look at me rabbi abraham dos were. able to make. greatest intellectual alone with no chance and been making full most of his intellectual ones every day people begin to make those connections then we're on to

something those can listen to be made more now than they were before. and if you'd like to watch the full version of the program you can catch it here later today on r.t. international. facebook has become the latest social media platform to crack down on q. and on conspiracy content after deleting a group with some 200000 members for violating the platforms guidelines believes of the french foreign conspiracy theory that in voicing their support for president donald trump ahead of november's election results he's done quarter explains now the movement has only grown despite being snubbed by political immediately. and the world of q. and a not 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 and underground

pedophile sex trafficking ring pacifically what q. and a it is a for. in which many baseless conspiracy theories are discussed on the internet the surge of interest in q one comes as the u.s. 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 deep 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 of the deep state 2020 has been a year like no other and when 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 q. 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 going 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 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 troll combined that with the violence many people are facing in the us and you have yourself a very alley and hating 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 right 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. 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 speaking her native turkish in the playground the parents are now planning to sue the school our

correspondent peter oliver has the story there's a row 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 a definition language is german you want us to speak german the schools are german if we speak turkish the children won't understand us we're not allowed to speak our mother turn 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 at school which drawn up jointly by all pupils and explained at parents' evenings it was

agreed that in the event of 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 all their lawyer who says that this rule targets the turkish language in particular it was didn't we. the school break is soaking 1st consul through an english hall who in french all through chinese pull through adolescence i cannot believe that the teacher would say oh this is probably didn't happen if you don't do this i think every teacher would say and show this person as an example or a good teaching and good knowledge the family will want to know if there was an equal treatment. or that child you cannot forbid to talk in your mother tongue you know and this of course affects all of your personality or your identity and also use perfect human rights of the german constitutional

law there was not such a general rule to solve only in german language in the school building and also this issue which happened was. one by one situation between 2 students were killed fish or aging and in such a situation i think it was not lawful to give. well it's. also. it's. a little less. the next logical step if you don't. respond to all of those who go through the legal action underlying this situation leaves everything in a very messy place stuck between
