6:02 pm
support of what they call the solidarity actions the solidarity is against annoyance and the brunt police and all the recent developments. here are mainly women passing cars honking i do not know this girl 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 great i guess all these ideas are being championed here and 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 it just passed by this is how the center of minsk is looking. because moving extremely slowly literally in 1st gear all the drivers are honking their horns and waving their arms there are lots of flowers said to me is what's your 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 something like that.
6:03 pm
across the country people have been forming human chains in a show of solidarity with the protesters some of even embarked on a charm offensive by giving flowers to police actually workers though are taking a more direct approach with some downing tolls and walking out on strike while voicing their demands. meanwhile as we reported earlier in minsk identified armed men entered 2 offices of the russian. company later released the statement saying the group claimed to be members of the criminal and corruption state office who were conducting a search nothing was seized the reason for the raid though was not disclosed our president lukashenko has all but russians have known for 26 years this is the 1st
6:04 pm
time though his grip on power appears to be slipping at all 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. the loser who shot the russians have to hold on to look even in the most critical situation is a drowning man who catches the straw that you just took my racing to be 90 percent tomorrow it will be with you like we all know it is no not for you to decide for. themselves i envy myself i see i am the last and only dictator in europe.
6:05 pm
i'm not going to hold this position for a lifetime as soon as the people refuse my services i'll take my bag under my arm and i'm going. 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 the security service to put you in handcuffs if a person does not understand that this is auschwitz and you put him in charge of the holding 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 shank obama for many baka is also
6:06 pm
a strong man who created an enclave of the soviet union we. in europe it's been a popular stance for years but now look at those image is facing some big problems . sure look at shank oh 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.
6:07 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 reduce them not to say you know incidents if you would you need to get into the situation with dignity no gilsey good we have no gold to discredit the country clues to us arresting russian journalists didn't help the situation either. for 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. and the president of the scientific mrs senter you know slavery munchak says the 4th day of protest symbiosis went by call me but the overall agenda of people hasn't changed. those tweets said peace poor people are the
6:08 pm
joy in their hope but their gender change the last drop that broke the camel's back was the mass joining the problem is the state enterprises dozens of different big commercial entities joined the protest saying that we demand not perks from the government we need we need for elections to look at himself in the position when he did not deliver on any dialogue with any meaningful social group and the way that election commissioners deliberate fraud and election and vote now definitely ignited that kind of protest and anger because nobody believes in bell or the location got 80 percent of. the palestine administration as the mouse the peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates accusing the latter of betrayal the accord which was struck with help of the united states will see israel halt its west bank an exception plant as
6:09 pm
a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of president trump with the support of the united arab emirates his real will suspend declaring sovereignty and the areas outlined in the prisons vision for peace and it's now an expanding ties with other countries in the arab and muslim world. or historic deal is the result of lengthy negotiations it's the 1st step to normalizing relations between the countries which also plan to open embassies what actual 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 an accession plans but said he would pursue them without washington support under the us israeli peace plan for the region outlined back in january an explosion 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
6:10 pm
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 and positivity for the whole region and the palestinians again are 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 a better future for the region and the palestinians need to understand that history will not wait for them. should be sure this statement it is a very harsh statement against united there but it's accused them of the betrayal of the police of jerusalem of the palestinian people and the palestinian cause by doing this in this agreement with. me as well as to get used to
6:11 pm
the. united arab emirates and. claiming that they support the bill. but. they are not doing it to the palestinian leadership was facing a very difficult. because israel is going for freezing the delivery of the palestinian taxes they're not doing anything to practically to support the bill as the. emergency teams working to contain a major oil spill off the coast of say the situation is finally under control helicopters have been airlifting oil from astride a cargo ship ran aground on a coral reef at the end of last month had been carrying almost $4000.00 tons of oil almost all the fuel on board though has now been removed had been fears the vessel would break apart teams construct barriers to try to contain the spillage but while it did leak posed a serious risk to an environmentally sensitive area leading authorities to declare a state of emergency. oh joe biden is hoping his choice of kemal
6:12 pm
harris as a running mate will give his campaign what it needs to unseat donald trump from the white house it seems that everyone shares that enthusiasm particular considering his past years kayleigh more pain with more. from rival to running mate joe biden is hoping that 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.
6:13 pm
6:14 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
6:15 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 did it. with a long time ago. at a time when police are not necessarily the most loved among rank and file democrats a certain catchphrases spreading across social media.
6:16 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 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 karl harris in november and got pretty big questions you know what
6:17 pm
martin artsy new york. is growing support around the world for a ban on so-called killer robots a report from human rights watch says 30 countries want to global treaty against their technology rational sharky from the campaign to stop killer robots says it must be humans and not machines making decisions on model field we want to see meaningful human control over all weapons systems for every strike and all the words there's always a person who's a kind of bull who's watching that weapon and will decide in the end will we used this weapon to kill this target is this an appropriate target we don't want to weapon and so on driven by a computer and the computer to make that final decision this targets ok because under the laws of war if you're indicted to better target if there's any diet whatsoever don't only thought autonomous weapons are able to operate in the air
6:18 pm
water and even in space program to identify and engage targets humans they'll give the order to attack at present though they can be programmed to make the decision themselves are some countries though see the benefit of having such technology on war zones or the u.s. arms control association so their weapons offer opportunities in combat it's cheap work 247 and don't tire on the front line it could reduce casualties professor sharkey says the risk to civilian lives isn't being taken into account. you must above all 'd protect civilians regardless of what country they are 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 comply 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
6:19 pm
between military and civilian targets and i don't think they can be proportionate in response to attacks. and one must protest the governor as a commission our correspondent brings the latest from beirut that in a few moments. one else will seem wrong. roles just don't call. me all the yet to see how this day becomes active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
6:20 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. dramatic. very. back to the program huge explosion in beirut last week left much of the city in ruins and also knocked out many of its hospitals with so many people injured in the blast that's only adding to the difficulties there are 3 major hospitals are out of
6:21 pm
action leaving the ones still functioning completely overwhelmed but international help has been flooding. has been finding out. we're about 7 kilometers outside of the roots in the mountains here is one of lebanese main hospitals and we have come to witness the work of a top surgical team of russia they have come here to help lebanon deal with the traumatic fallout from the blast in the port. so russian surgeons with the help of the lebanese colleagues have just finished administering and his teacher here and have begun the surgery i'm being told this woman has a lot of bones in her face broken and they are not in the right places this is the primary thing that doctors here are dealing with right now also she has a severe head trauma.
6:22 pm
is leading the medical team overseeing the surgery they have decades of experience between them specializing in treating the injured from natural disasters and walls syria palestine indonesia new media just some of the places where they've been saving lives here in lebanon and the groups worked alongside local doctors in more than 200 cases but some of the most difficult procedures like the one we saw earlier they have been taking on themselves or the 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 and the patient is
6:23 pm
feeling better and. their work here has been made possible thanks to russia's official aid agency russell trood and just up by larry 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 a 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. because you know. we have a crisis the explosion that. happened and we need every every help we can get from anyone many injuries like this require complex delicate and lengthy procedures during a break away from the operating table the surgeon tells me everything's going well
6:24 pm
broken bones are reset stitches are applied the start over healing process for a girl who's seen more than enough trauma in her young life because diana from lebanon r t. a facebook is being accused of illegally harvesting the facial recognition data of users of its social media platform into the grow 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 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 was claimed facebook violated the privacy rights of $100000000.00 of its users under the current law companies can be fined up to $5000.00 for each individual reckless or intentional violation it therefore
6:25 pm
means the total fine could potentially reach 500000000000. last month facebook offered to pay 650000000 to settle a similar case where the company was accused of illegally collecting biometric data through a photo taken tall over it maintains its face recognition systems are not used on instagram. this it 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 previous activist and technology expert bill knew believe the spot the controversial 8 sort of the lawsuit there are potentially high risks if facebook really is collecting users' 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
6:26 pm
software for show or we don't know the extent to which it used a noun many uses to a large extent the usual being used here is the one in illinois which is the strictest biometrics security or privacy law anywhere in the world and has been brought up all of us uses which are significant book or sanogo bytes facebook is telling facial recognition software without any form of consent then this is a real abuse and i could be ripping take only damaging because it then loses the date so or files to protect it as it has done without for instance it's then also people its collective pleasure information from could be vulnerable to identity theft to the rest of the lips. because our 4th is coming up for you next want to get an offer now with the latest global news headlines we'll see about that.
