thousands more injured search and rescue teams are still clearing rubble in the hope of finding survivors with scores of people still missing explosions shockwave or it havoc across the city destroying buildings and businesses and homes eli has warned of a humanitarian crisis with 300000 people in need of aid and shelter r.t. if it is down on the ports from the debris field streets. 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 over their rush to leave the area as they were caught up on the bluster 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 room before the main lost the house says it's never going to hurt is that. you hear that from their work or this goes forward only if they're serious i was not good enough. for me because these guns are covers up. there are all. our influence he said over. because there were 2 that was your your car you have no gas now you are going

to. nothing nothing at all it's over the. coming because. they are because this is you throw their 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 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. for a number of locals the day was meant to be a big event for a very different reason here's the moment a wedding photo shoot was suddenly turned to chaos by the blast.

the world health organization is warning that beirut's health care system has been badly compromised is already under severe pressure from the covert $1000.00 pandemic and on top of that the destructive explosion on tuesday but 3 hospitals out of action that x. are working around the clock to save the lives of those seriously injured in the tragedy here's one heroic nurses story. i know that when the explosion went off the ground shook beneath us the blast told 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 in the covered in rubble as well i started feeling new going south of the units i was terrified because i thought the babies might be crushed under the rubble but fingo they were kate then i took them through this corridor and down few 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 in them except dying people in the street give me the t. shirts and clothes so i could drive to simply continue the concept of by the way on t.v. . i was holding

the 3 babies and i didn't know if i was going to be able to rescue them normals 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 it's government incompetence that led to the deadly disaster meanwhile the lebanese president says the probe into the blast is looking at external interference as a possible cause at the same time the leader of the lebanese political and military group hezbollah has made his 1st public appearance since the explosion rejecting claims of the group's involvement. but this mugabo 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 beirut 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. serious unfortunately and you see all kinds of claims on video or accept or 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. through 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 u.s. national counter intelligence and security center apparently knows already which

external actor is to blame if trump owens thank the russians if biden the chinese or the iranians or both believe this statement by the center's director says there are many foreign actors that quote have a preference over the election results it tells us about her is that china views trump as unpredictable and doesn't want him to when asked her russia if using a range of measures against joe biden and iran could undermine american democracy donald trump though has his own b.s. 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 an artist going underground talk to american philosopher and political activist cornel west about the upcoming election and also the rise of the black life not a movement here's a preview of that interview. 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 or were you do 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 together have $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 poor people just because of black and brown poor people i had a choice between a deal liberal disaster or the o. s.

'd i would go to the older will disaster that will bite me americans are sick impact is a spiteful impact it's a most unpleasant embarked 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. is they are in control of the empire and they are. what is different about these uprisings this is what's in los angeles in 165 before and after the beautiful thing is that you have other things. coming together and making the connection between not just police power and police murder but the tweet police lease murder wall street power wall street crimes and to gun power and then to gun crimes once you make those connections and connect to the most cheap make

them up the mix may develop big that make the family look rabbi abraham joshua heschel as able to make. the greatest intellectual alone with no chomsky and been making for most of his intellectual life once every day people begin to make those connections then we're on to something those can actually be made more now than they were before. if you want to watch that episode and 4 you can catch that later today here on r.t. . facebook has become the latest social media platform to crack down on q. anon conspiracy content after deleting a group with some 200000 members for violating the platform's guidelines believers of the fringe far right conspiracy theory have been voicing their support for donald trump i had never selection but as don a quarter explains the movement has only grown despite being snubbed by the political and media elites. in 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 leaves 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 synergy of interest. 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 it's not in the spirit of actors 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 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 that gotten 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 trawled combine 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 in 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 were going to be encouraging people and recruiting more americans and more voters to take on positions that a few years ago they might not positions that many many people today would be considering right wing or even ultra right or fringe right whatever that means.

the chinese video sharing app tectonic threatens the u.s. with a legal action after donald trump orders firms to stop doing business with it that's among our stories after the break. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to heal some air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area russia. what is it suddenly about the south china sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil.

welcome back children 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 on the playground her parents are now planning to sue the school or your correspondent peter all over has the story. there's a rout 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 10 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 a 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 or their lawyer he says that this rule targets the turkish language in particular it was didn't we. the school break is talking for example through english or who in french of chinese of through latin i cannot believe that it would say oh this is what we've been. don't do this every teacher would say and show this person as an example or.

the family or want to know if there was an on equal treatment or child you can not so be it. in your mother tongue you know in this of course affects all your purse no or your identity and also. it's human rights of you. constitutional there was not such a general rule to talk only in german language in the school building. also this issue which happen was. one by one situation in 2 students were reading and in such a situation i was not lawful who you really. like is this school and also all the representatives until now they are not

replying our appeal or all of those. will be the next logical step if they don't. respond to our letters we will have to go to court the legal action underlying the situation leaves everything in a very messy place stuck between a german schools insistence on german being spoken and respect for the languages of the many different groups that make up modern day germany peter all of our r.t. in. chinese video sharing app tech talk says it's shocked by recent u.s. sanctions and is considering going to court as after donald trump issued 2 executive orders banning all transactions with the owners of tech talk and we chat from next month earlier the president threatened to ban take tax u.s. operation unless it was sold to an american company r.t. america has been bust looks into the conflict. as you know that will have major

competent consequences for companies u.s. companies especially apple even though apple is not owned by tens and but apple will be the most affected because if we is removed from the apple app store no chinese citizen will be by another apple i phone because we can't is integral to every day life style of virtually everybody in china and ironically as apple's sales decline the biggest winner and biggest benefactor would actually be while way the chinese saying they want to be fair if so goody goody let's be fair they can open up their market to c.n.n. b.b.c. washington post new york times wall street journal and i could go on they're not 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 christy 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 is 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 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 0 the rise of 5 g. that threaten the u.s. its dominance on communications with the rise of tik tok 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.
