black lives matter movement. a warm welcome to you it's 9 pm here in the russian capital and you're watching r.t. international with me nikki our. tensions in the russian capital of minsk continue to saw citizens of or already started to gather in the city's center comes in the wake of sunday's disputed presidential election which has plunged the country into chaos our correspondent reports from the scene. it's just the way or the we're supposed to be honest it's quite difficult to describe what's going on in victory square in minsk on the square there are women with families announce you can also see the women dressed in white with flowers in the hands remaining independence avenue cars and buses which are passing by honking their horns in support of what they call the solidarity actions the solidarity is against violence and the right

place and all the recent developments. there are. many passing cars honking i do not know lost this girl's this why are you here because i am here to stand up for fair elections in this country and this action is also against violence isn't it right i guess all these ideas are being championed here i got it thank you. and this is what's going on almost across the entire city center in some places women are arriving spontaneously and others they're moving from one spot to another what you're seeing these 2 girls were found was a man has just passed by this is how the center of minsk is looking for a canadian. because moving extremely slowly literally in 1st gear all the drivers are holding the holds and waving their arms there are lots of flowers serving meals but still something unimaginable is going on in the center of this is the way the people are driving the women is standing along independence avenue well if something like that. elsewhere in bellerive is that these are the images from the

southwestern city of brest where people phone a human chain to show their support to the protesters meanwhile back in the capsule workers at the minsk automobile party doused tolls today as they walked out on strike voicing that a mother's. day. gift bag. back here. of protests have spilled over into neighbor. in ukraine several dozen people led by the local amnesty international gathered at the bella russian embassy they voiced that outrage of the only going crackdown on protesters and demanded an investigation into human rights violations around $6000.00 demonstrators have been detained in belarus with at least 2 people killed in the post-election unrest.

well president is saying. is open the russians have no interest when you say share this but this is the 1st time his grip on power appears to be slipping down quarter reports. in bellerose having the title go or daddy means you've got the most populist position in the entire post soviet sphere and for the recently reelected president alexander look at shank oh he's held the position for decades. he lives who shot the russians have to hold on to look a shame to even the most critical situation is a drowning man who can't shoot a straw that you're just too good my raising to be 90 percent tomorrow it will break down whether you like we all know it is not up for you to decide for.

themselves i envy myself for i am the last and only dictator in europe. i'm not going to hold this position for a lifetime this soon as the people refuse my services i'll take my bag under my arm and i'm going. on board the populist train before it was cool before politicians like steve bannon and donald trump probably even knew the meaning of the word one of his most recent populist stunts involved the dismissal of belarus agricultural minister after the ministers cows failed to gain lucas shankar's approval. why did you bring me here. so why now tell the security service to put you in handcuffs if the person does not understand that this is auschwitz and you put him in charge of the holding i did not understand you were to. look at shank oh as a man of inspections meetings with bureaucrats and reprimands of government officials when the cameras are watching of course this puts a smile on the faces of ordinary people who struggle daily with bureaucratic red

tape it's also the main reason why they call the question kobach up for many baka is also a strong man who created an enclave of the soviet union within europe it's been a popular stance for years but now look at those image is facing some big problems . sure look at shankar claims he won the election it seems like the security forces are on his side and for a while he only faced small pockets of pro western opposition but based on the brutality used by the police to control the situation the arrests made of journalists and the death of a protester it seems like the entire country's view of the government is definitely turning sour.

that it's possible lucas shank goes recent anti russia statements alley and made it his main base of support those who want closer cooperation with belarus is eastern neighbor we need to address the russian media reduce them not to say you know instance if you would feel see you need to get into the situation with dignity you know you'll see good we have no goal to discredit the country clues to us arresting russian journalists didn't help the situation either. the worst is always being europe's last dictator even look at shankar himself said leave new people would dispute the election results whatever the case the belorussian president will need to father more support if he wants to remain at the head of the table. israel and the united arab emirates have struck a peace deal brokered by the us that with the diplomatic relations restored between

the 2 middle east nations as a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of president trump with the support of the united arab emirates israel will suspend declaring sovereignty of the areas outlined in the prisons vision for peace and focuses efforts now on expanding ties with other countries in the arab and muslim world they historic deal is the result of lengthy negotiations between israel the united arab emirates and the us it will see israel suspend its west bank and station plans previously outlined in trumps peace plan all this would be the 1st step to normalizing relations between the countries which also plan to open embassies bilateral agreements are expected to be signed in the coming weeks covering business tourism direct flights security and other issues. however in his speech regarding the deal prime minister netanyahu said he's not giving up on the annexation plans but said

he won't pursue them without washington's support under the us the israeli peace plan for the region outlined back in january the annexation was supposed to be again last month let's get reaction to this now and speak to a former adviser to the. they speak to journalists and historian ideal darwish thank you for joining us on the program and now this deal seems like a big change of rhetoric for netanyahu who seem determined to start the onyx they should what do you make of it. he might actually very well say that i think is that is a way out for him in fact there is him of the whole he made that as an election promise then when it comes to reality probably would find it difficult to implement will cause more problems than solving problems and in fact they're actually called well in the region which already troubled some region so that b. is a way out for him by this imply him. if he goes down in history. hosting

the between the palestinians in this raid and your binion's. prison cargo holds the . israeli peace back in 79 then a president from probably will actually grow up this idea of an extension because he will help him. election was an election campaign and it will also help. in the region was that the the now is iran rather than everyone. is a list of palestinians actually tried to get something out of that they probably will continue to be marginalized yeah well the deal has already been out rejected by representatives of the palestinian groups hamas and fatah what do you make of that surprising. well. in. the middle east extensively and all the. diplomats in the middle east has never missed an.

opportunity since the. partition. of nation that created 2 independent this. is in fact the missing before losing more and more of them. and when we have seen. rings with all these. bright hardly the. mention. in fact. the taste of a pro was when the. who. published. a column on it is not to do the annexation piece he was actually condemned by. that. warning the palestinian right to find. and then build on it. how do you think this day will be felt across

the region do you think it will influence the situation there waiting for a better self. in the the sort of the. big. easy with the leader in the region. going to see. to see what saudi arabia reaction will be and also. iran iran. because when you actually look back in history with the exception of the. war in october 9th you feel. you see it's all b.s. grevious walls of pencils or the art of. live is very next is why having ambition. to be probably israel. again this year on the 2nd point is google in williamsburg.

even though it would be probably coming from a man from bari by that maybe we will see what saudi arabia. and he'll darwish journalist and historian thank you for joining us on the program thank you . emergency teams working to contain a major oil spill off the coast of malicious at say the situation is finally under control helicopters have been airlifted in oil from the stranded cargo ship which ran aground on a coral reef at the end of last month it had been carrying almost $4000.00 tons of oil almost all of the field on board though has been removed there have been fears the vessel would break apart teams constructed barriers to try to contain the spillage the oil that did leak posed a serious risk to the environmentally sensitive area leading authorities to to declare a state of emergency. there

is growing support around the world for a ban on so-called killer robots a report from human rights watch says 30 countries want a global treaty against the technology professor nala sharkey from the campaign to stop killer robots says' it must be humans are not machines making decisions on the battlefields. we want to see meaningful human control over all weapons systems for every strike another words there's always a person who's the kind to go who's watching that weapon and will decide in the end will be used this weapon to kill this target is this an appropriate target we don't want to weapon that will go out on its own driven by a computer and the computer to make that final decision this targets ok because under the laws of war if you're in die to better target if there's any doubt

whatsoever don't leave full autonomous weapons are able to operate in the at warsaw and even space they're programmed to identify and engage targets humans still give the order to attack at present although they can be programmed to make the decision themselves now some countries though 'd it see the benefit of having such technology in war zones the u.s. arms control association says the weapons off opportunities in combat that cheap 247 and don't tire on the front line it could reduce casualties but professor saki say is the risk to civilian lives is not being taken into account. you must above all protect civilians regardless of what country they're from whether they belong to your enemy or anything else i know it's often flaunted but that is standard classic stuff you must always ensure protection of civilians i can see no way that these weapons can compose comply with international humanitarian law i

don't think that they can comply with the laws of war or at least we can't guarantee their compliance i don't think they can appropriately discriminate between military and civilian targets and i don't think they can be proportionate in response to attacks. about with more news off this very short break. i don't think. those souls even some of my friends call jane deserve your humanity if you don't die for the amount you are going by each. moment. our lives if you. don't change your whole. change each.

one else seems wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out these days you can't get educated and in games from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back facebook is being accused of illegally harvesting the facial recognition recognition data of uses of it social media platform in stick around a class action against the tech giant could cost the company up to hoffa

a trillion dollars. once facebook captures is to remain protected by metrics it uses them to both areas facial recognition abilities across all of its products including the facebook application and shares this information among various entities facebook does all of this without providing any of the required notices or disclosures required by illinois law. it's claimed facebook violated the privacy rights of $100000000.00 every sousa's under the current law all companies can be fined up to $5000.00 for each individual reckless or intentional violation and therefore means the total fine could potentially reach 500000000000 dollars last month facebook offered to pay $650000000.00 to settle a similar case when the company was accused of illegally collecting biometric data through a photo tugging tool however it maintains its face recognition services systems are not used on instagram. the suit is baseless instagram doesn't use face recognition

technology if we introduce face recognition technology to your instagram experience we will let you know 1st and you will have control over whether we use this technology for you. to discuss the issue that's confident live it to bill new privacy activist and technology expert thank you joining us on the program bell the last day is that the company collected data from 100000000 instagram uses but instagram has over 1000000000 active monthly users what happened to the rest of the years and now data. this is to a large extent a claim that is being brought on a speculative basis because we don't know whether instagram used facial recognition software for sure and we don't know the extent to which it used and how many users to a large extent the law being used here is the one in illinois which is the strictest biometrics security or privacy law and the way around the world and has been

brought on behalf of us users which are a significant proportion of the banks but at this moment in time it's largely speculative. and i thought the 1st time facebook's been accused of illegally kleck and collecting by matching data resent how damaging do you think this is for its reputation to think users will be put off from using it. i think to a large extent facebook is protected only to the extent that its reputation is so badly tarnished already and i'm not sure that any trust will be eroded on this particular respect but it doesn't mean that the collection or the use of biometric data isn't as important or a big issue in any case the sorts of risks that we're facing here are the fact that if we lose our policies word the password can be reset but there are certain biometric indicates or biometric identifiers. enormously important and that we can't research i mean you can't research your d.n.a.

you can't research your fingerprints and you can't research your face and if facebook is collecting facial recognition software without any form of consent then this is of real abuse and could be ripped equally damaging because it then loses the date so or fails to protect it as it has done with another instance it's then all of the people it's collective facial information from could be vulnerable to identity theft to the rest of the leaps yeah that what facebook claims the accusations are baseless so how do you expect the case to play out. well in this case there is going to be a challenge based on a speculative assumption on the part of the litigants and it will play out based on what the actual truth of what can be proven but this brings to question the larger use all of those recognition because it is such a critical biometric indicator to a large extent those who recognition is an unproven technology the accuracy is

woeful in many cases where the police have been using it to identify. potential criminals and drug dealers or watch lists it is accuracy writes it was low was 4 percent there's also norma's convicts concerned that a lot of this type of technology includes a large extent to racial bias and that needs to be eliminated as well so the take the whole gee needs to be improved significantly in its accuracy racial bias needs to be eliminated and above all we need far better protection because if blow metric data alls into the wrong hands then i just don't state there will be widespread bill new privacy activist and technology expert thanks for your time. joe biden is hoping his choice of camel harris as running mates will give his campaign what it needs to unseat donald trump from the white house but it seems not

everyone shares that enthusiasts and particularly considering harris's past his kaleb more pain with more. from rival to running mate joe biden is hoping that the terrorists will be a powerful weapon in his arsenal as he selected her as vice president as he prepares to go to battle with donald trump for the white house i decided that comma harris is the best person to help me take this fight to donald trump and mike pence and then lead this nation starting in january 2021 i need someone who understands that we are in a battle for the soul of this nation and that safeway going to get through these crises we need to come together a new night for a better america come and i gets that but unity it seems is not the word on every democrats' lips.

let's not forget that for the past few months the united states has been gripped by a wave of protests against police brutality sparked by the killing of george floyd . hart.

so joe biden has selected kamel harris as his vice presidential running mate and with her joy. macon and indian roots she is the 1st woman of color to be selected by a major u.s. political party as a vice presidential candidate this may sound like a smart move generating enthusiasm among the democrats base among african-americans however the holes are suggesting otherwise we protest build more schools less jails put money into education our prisons there's a fundamental problem with that approach i agree with that conceptually but you have not addressed the reason i have 3 padlocks on my front door. kamel harris has got a resume full of working with the police locking people up and being unnecessarily gleeful about doing so she even took the move of jailing parents of children who were truant from school as california's attorney general camila harris fought

against moves to release nonviolent offenders even after the court ordered her to do so as san francisco's district attorney she secured the conviction of over 1900 people 1st moken marijuana these folks got a life long criminal records and often jail time however she then joked about the fact that she's a pot smoker herself have you all smoked i have ok again i had to and i inhaled my name and i didn't handle. it it was a long time ago. at a time when police are not necessarily the most loved among rank and file democrats a certain catch phrases spreading across social media.

kamel harris has done a lot in recent months to try and clean up her image she's gone to police brutality protests to shake hands and take photos she's a published an autobiography that presents herself and her career as a prosecutor as if she was fighting against racism on behalf of the downtrodden but some people just aren't buying it i watch a poll numbers go bomb bomb bomb down to almost nothing donald trump has indicated that he is not too worried about camila harris as she is not polling very well around the country however many are jubilant about the fact that a woman of color as finally joined a major presidential ticket in the united states but many of the people expected to vote for camila harris in november have got pretty big questions it will come up on r.t. new york. and joining us here on our national web back at the top of the out. is

the u.s. economy was booming growing numbers of people were made homeless. you can work 40 hours in a week and still not have enough to get housing everybody believes america still is the land of opportunity the reality of we're not financially equality and the lack of affordable housing for a living minimum wage gave many people no choice but to that's been a problem with the city always turn every child told me stay away almost. 2 sons of the food that there is no answer because you have some recourse resource the most vulnerable or abandoned on the streets to become the invisible cops. an entire village in alaska has had to move if another country trying to wipe out an american town. we do everything in our power to protect the. water they escaping

climate change is the same threat right now alaska seems some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world we lost about 30 feet. 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast paced the river is 35 closer look how long it was here for i think we're part of america 1st for. words.

welcome to the alex salmond show where during this global pandemic a leadership election is quite low going on behind me here at westminster originally no less than 5 i took the 11 liberal democrat m.p. sponsor to turn it being leader but one by one the field to spend out until only 2 to me acting leader and favorite a davy on the old 3 day piece meal i'm around today we asked former leader 13th capel test test the strengths and weaknesses of the challengers for the crime well i think they're both strong and you know will be well served which of them wins i mean now and davey obviously has they experienced some member of the cabinet neck after environment heavily into climate change negotiations things of that shines later is different she came in after a day coalition a completely new generation and will approach things in a fresh and

a different way.
