4:05 pm
themselves i envy myself but 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. i was 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 bellerose his agricultural minister after the minister's cows failed to gain lucas shank those approval. why did you bring me here so why now tell security service to put you in handcuffs 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 oh as a man of inspections meetings with bureaucrats and reprimands of government officials when the cameras are watching of course this puts
4:06 pm
a smile on the faces of ordinary people who struck. daily with bureaucratic red tape it's also the main reason why they call lucas shank 0 baka 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 i shan't go 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.
4:07 pm
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 his eastern neighbor we need to address the russian media to 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 us 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. the huge explosion in beirut last week not only left much of the

4:10 pm
open centerboard is the most difficult surgeries that our team carried out here with the severe cranial traumas and face skull fractures one patient had there all with bones completely fractured but the surgery was successful everything was reconstructed when the patient is feeling better about their work here has been made possible thanks to russia's official aid agency russell trood niches to our military says that being deployed to trouble spots 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 more of this generosity and we want to say call for us and cultural center because at that moment. because you know nowadays. we have a crisis the explosion but what happened and we need every every help we can get

a serious risk to the environmentally sensitive area needing a thorough it is to declare a state of emergency. a palestine administration has denounced a peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates accusing the latter of betrayal the accord which was struck with the help of the us will see israel halting its west bank and like station plans. 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 the historic deal is the result of lengthy negotiations is 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 that tourism direct
4:13 pm
flights security and other issues. however in his speech regarding the deal prime minister netanyahu said he is not giving up on the annexation plans but that he won't pursue them without washington support and the u.s. the israeli peace plan for the region outlined back in january the attic station was supposed to begin last month we got reaction to the new deal. it's historic this is a culmination of long relations that have grown steadily and very positively between israel and the united arab emirates what we see here is a chance for israel and arab neighbors across the region to build economic prosperity peace and positivity for the whole region and the palestinians again to choosing to put themselves outside of that their choosing rather than to say yes and we can work forward for a better future they are choosing to reject that and it's just not a surprise it's very sad i think for the palestinian people the message here is clear israel will continue to build
4:14 pm
a better future for the region and the palestinians need to understand the history will not wait for them the police turn in the. issue of the statement it is a very harsh statement against united. it's accused them of the betrayal of the police of jerusalem of the palestinian people and the palestinians. by signing this agreement with. united arab emirates and saudi arabia claiming that they support the bill. but. not. to the palestinian leadership was facing a very difficult plane and from the crisis because israel is going for it's good to go to freezing the delivery of the palestinian taxes not doing anything practically to support the palestinians. and the growing support around the world for a ban on so-called killer robots a report from human rights watch says 30 countries want
4:15 pm
a global treaty against the technology professor no shockey from the campaign to stop killer robots so they 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 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 a weapon that will go out on its own driven by a computer and through 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 atwater and even space program so identify and engage targets humans still give the order to attack at present although they can be programmed to make the decision
4:16 pm
themselves some countries though see the benefit of having such technology and rules the u.s. arms control association says the weapons off opportunities in combat because they're cheap they work 247 and they don't tie it up and on the frontline it could reduce casualties but professor shockey 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 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

4:19 pm
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.
4:20 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 . hard. so joe biden has selected convalesce harris as his vice presidential running mate and with her jew. in 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
4:21 pm
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 the money into education our prisons. there's a fundamental problem with that approach i don't agree with that conceptually but you have heard of just 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 moping marijuana these folks got a life long criminal records and often jail time i went over she then joked about

4:23 pm
some people just aren't buying it i watch a poll numbers go. down to almost nothing donald trump has indicated that he is not too worried about camelot here as she is now 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 campbell heiress in november have got pretty big questions it will mark them are 2 new york. facebook is being accused of illegally harvesting the facial recognition data of uses 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 or its facial recognition abilities across all of its products

4:25 pm
despite the controversial nature of the lawsuit the op attention the high risks if face but when he is collecting uses biometric 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 a show and we don't know the extent to which it used to now many uses to a large extent the usual being used here is the one in illinois which is the strictest biometrics of security or privacy law anyway around the world and has been brought on by all of us users which are a significant proportion of the. facebook is tell it to facial recognition software without any form of consent then this is a real abuse and i could be reporting kelly damaging because if it then loses the or fails to protect as it has started another instance it's then all of the

4:30 pm
the title of your book the key to an abundant future it sounds like you're quite optimistic about deflation so how exactly do you define deflation and how might it lead to abundance transitioning from an inflationary world to what the flexner. people should be scared right there is there is going to be disruption and that destruction is coming no matter what there is nothing fundamental that governments can do to stop the rate of technology progress if you just ask about what technology does it's close to remove labor right that's why we use it no company ever goes in and builds technology it increases technology so that their costs go out or their market share to sink or they use it to reduce labor and they use it to buy the fund and what's happening is is you have the work technology moving in an exponential striving for.
