3:02 pm
there may be women too many passing cars are thinking i do not know this girl does this why are you here because i am here to stand up for a fair elections in this country and this action is also against violence isn't it great i guess all these ideas are being championed here i got it thank you for the 1st words and this is what's going on almost across the entire city center in some places women are arriving spontaneously and now this they're moving from one spot to another what you're seeing these 2 girls were found was it was just prosperity this is how the center of minsk is looking for a canadian. because moving extremely slowly literally in 1st gear all the drivers are honking their horns and waving their arms there are no actual flowers serving meals but still something unimaginable is going on in the center of minsk this is the way the people are driving the women is standing along independence avenue well if something like that. citizens gather across the country forming

3:04 pm
is the 1st time his grip on power appears to be slipping one 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 lukashenko he's held the position for decades. of the russians have to hold on to look even in the most critical situation is a tremendous man to catch a stroll that you just took my racing to be 90 percent tomorrow will be with you like we all know it is no not for you to decide for. themselves i envy myself as i am the last and only dictator in europe.
3:05 pm
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 involve the dismissal of bellerose his agricultural minister after the minister's cows failed to gain lucas shank as approval. what 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 people who did not understand you were to. look at shank 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 kobach up for many but because
3:06 pm
also a strong man who created an enclave of the soviet union with. in europe it's been a popular stance for years but now look at those image is facing some big problems . sure look at shango 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 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.
3:07 pm
that it's possible lucas shank calls 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 incidents if you would you'll see you need to get into the situation with dignity you know you'll see good we have no gold to discredit the country clues to arresting russian journalists didn't help the situation either. to the west he's always been europe's last dictator even look at shankar himself said he knew 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. as well and the united arab emirates have struck a peace deal brokered by the u.s. that would see diplomatic relations we still would between the 2 middle east nations. as
3:08 pm
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 president's vision for peace and focuses efforts now on expanding ties with other countries in the arab and muslim world the 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 explanation plans previously outlined in trump's peace plan or this would be the 1st step to normalizing relations between the countries which also plan to work at embassies bilateral agreements are expected to be signed in the coming weeks covering business torres them 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 wouldn't pursue them without washington support under the us israeli peace plan for the region outlined back in january the annexation
3:09 pm
was supposed to begin last month let's get reaction to this now and speak to called in both palestine based research and israeli affairs welcome to the program it's great to have you with us. now let's in your who says he'll still pursue an extension contrary to what is that in the joint statement but only when he has u.s. support what do you make of it is. it approves of what the united arab emirates leadership said about this new agreement is falls into any a hole insisted that he's going to do with an exception in the future what's happening now is just a delay for this this delay it was approved by him because from but not drawn buttocks were requested that in order to achieve a peace agreement between united arab emirates and is that i so it's just a daily. risk of this his position especially there could be coming elections
3:10 pm
so he will not close losing votes from his support of us by canceling this or stopping the next i think meet any trump himself. we go to the ending cieszyn in the future denying what the united arab emirates said so do you think this is part of the reason why the pain still is being rejected by representatives of the palestinian groups hamas and fatah. everybody now in just in the few a last minute police turn in the there should be issued a statement it is a very harsh statement against the united arab emirates it's accused them of the betrayal of the police of jerusalem of the palestinian people and the palestinian cause by doing this is by signing this agreement with this that i accuse the united arab emirates of destroying the. peace initiative it is
3:11 pm
the international law so the arab leadership also called for an emergent meeting for the arab league to discuss this issue i think there is there will be. the heart of the relationship in the future between the palestinian leadership and. with this surprising by. as described in the bill as seen in the statement surprising by the united arab emirates. there's also ready air speculation that this still seriously undermines the iran's position in the region will still take. up the corporation between the so the united arab emirates and israel concerning the threat of iran is nothing new i think this declaration is an official declaration while the relation between these countries then there we have seen many
3:12 pm
delegations of show litigations of israel going to united arab emirates some meetings held by. these 3 parties in fact were so the arabia. war or the say of a conflict with iran is uniting these countries together but it seems that it's the palestinian who will pay the price for this by the day declared mission of this peace agreement so how do you think this that this deal will influence the situation in the region. i think it makes more it clear for the situation for the relation between the parties the palestinian leadership now is between 2 sites between the qatari turkish for example can between the. egyptian and the united emirates camps if the leadership is throwing the balance but now things are becoming more like more clear it could take the palestinian leadership the arts of the other side. that has maybe
3:13 pm
a bit of relationship with iran for example like turkey nobody knows what will happen but i think it's a very surprising. event that could change their relation even with the palestinians we as palestinians get used to the official statement of united arab emirates and so their idea claiming that they support the ballistae position but in that in the. anything to the palestinian leadership was a very difficult financial crisis because israel is going for is getting good freezing the delivery of the bill is doing in texas they are not doing anything to practically to support the bill as the unions and under the bill it was a real sort of bones that they have been pushing the bill is doing and leadership. give our. deal of soon to be or whatever the. palestinian leadership of accepting this deal but it seems that things are very
3:14 pm
obvious now they are all over the everybody says the united arab emirates supported by so the. official egyptian welcoming of this peace agreement makes things more clear for the palestinians and for the whole region called ambiguity research in israeli affairs thank you for your time. emergency teams working to contain a major oil spill off the coast of militias say the situation is finally under control helicopters have been airlifting oil from the stranded cargo ship which went to ground on a coral reef at the end of last month and have been carrying almost $4000.00 tons of oil almost all of the fuel on board has been removed there had been fears the vessel would break apart and teams constructed barriers to trying to contain the spillage the oil that did leak posed a serious risk to the environmentally sensitive area leading authorities to declare a state of emergency.
3:15 pm
that's grown 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 knol sharkey from the campaign to stop killer robots says it must be humans and not machines making decisions on the battlefield. we want to see meaningful human control over all weapons systems for every strike and overs there's always a person who's a kind to bow who's watching that weapon and will decide in the end will be used this weapon to kill the 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 lethal autonomous weapons are able to operate in the
3:16 pm
water and even space their programs to identify and engage targets humans still give the order to attack at present although they can be programmed to make the decision by themselves and some countries though you see the benefits of having such technology. the u.s. arms control association says the weapons off opportunities in combat that change they were 247 and they don't tire on the front line it could would do so casualties but professor sharkey says 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 i comply with international humanitarian law i don't think that they can comply with the laws of war or at
3:17 pm
least we can't guarantee their compliance so 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. when he is coming your way after the break. summer so lucian's that's right we solve all the world's problems bringing in the biggest genius to the way we know better than ever bet on the show and today we're going to talk about a very scary d. word and that of course is the flame joining us former czech entrepreneur jeff booth he's the author of the price of tomorrow why deflation is the key to an

3:21 pm
surgery was successful everything was reconstructed and the patient is feeling better that. their work here has been made possible thanks to russia's official aid agency russell trood and just walk by. larry says that being deployed to trouble sports can sometimes take up to a couple of weeks this time it only took around 24 hours a remarkable difference and the swiftness that's likely saved lives during surgery russian medical aid also arrived at the hospital we received this donation from the russian humanitarian mission we thank them a lot for this generosity and we want to say russian cultural center because at that moment for the because you know. we have a crisis explosion that. happened and we need every every help we can get from anyone many injuries like this require complex delicate and lengthy procedures
3:22 pm
during a break away from the operating table the surgeon tells me everything's going well broken bones are reset stitches are applied the start of a healing process for a girl who's seen more than enough trauma in her young life because diana from lebanon r t. facebook is being accused of illegally harvesting the facial recognition data of users of its social media platform instagram a class action against the tech giant could cost the company up to half a trillion dollars. once facebook captures instagram users 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 as claimed facebook violated the privacy rights of $100000000.00 of its uses under the current law companies can be fined up
3:23 pm
to $5000.00 for each individual reckless or intentional violation it 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 told however it maintains its face recognition 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 or privacy activist on technology expert bill new believes despite the controversial nature of the lawsuit potentially high risks if facebook really is collecting uses biometric data. this is to a large extent
3:24 pm
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 to now many users to a large extent the law being used here is the one in illinois which is the strictest biometrics of security or privacy law anywhere in the world and is being brought on behalf of us users which are a significant proportion of the. facebook is telling facial recognition software without any form of consent then this is of real abuse and could be that we're particularly damaging because it then loses the dates all or fails to protect it as it has started out for instance it's then all of the people it collected closely information could be vulnerable to identity theft to the rest of the lawyers. joe biden is hoping his choice of camelot harris says running mates will give us
3:25 pm
campaign what it means to and think donald trump from the white house but it seems not everyone shares that enthusiasm particularly considering harris's past has kind of more pain with more. from rival to running mate joe biden is hoping that kamel harris 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.
3:26 pm
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 . heart.
3:27 pm
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
3:28 pm
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 have my name and i didn't handle. it with 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.
3:29 pm
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 published an autobiography that presents herself and her career as a prosecutor as if she was fighting against racism on behalf of the down for out but some people just aren't buying it i watched 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. thanks for joining us here in our c.n.n.
3:30 pm
national we're back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines will see that. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for him to you shouldn't let it be an arms race move his arms off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.
