9:04 pm
a more direct approach with some downing tools and walking out on strike while voicing their mark. meanwhile as we reported earlier in minsk on other devide armed men entered 2 offices of the russian internet giant the company later released a statement saying the group claimed to be members of the criminal and anti corruption state office and were conducting a search and nothing was seized and the reason for the raid was not disclosed. now present because shankar was all but russians have known for 26 years now this is the 1st time though his grip on power appears to be slipping all quarter has the story. in belarus having the title but to go or daddy means you've got the most populist position in the entire post soviet sphere and for the recently reelected
9:05 pm
president alexander look at shankar he's held that position for decades. the. russians have to hold on to look even in the most critical situation as a drowning man to capture the straw that you're just too good my racing to be 90 percent tomorrow it will be. like we all know it is not up for you to decide. themselves i envy myself i see 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
9:06 pm
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 bella russa's agricultural minister after the minister's cows failed to gain lucas shank those approval. why did you bring me here so why now to no 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 who did not understand you was to. 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 lucas shank obama 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
9:07 pm
. 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. that its possible locus shank was recent and to russia statements alyea needed his main base of support those who want closer cooperation with belarus as eastern neighbor we need to address the russian media not to say no instance if you would
9:08 pm
see you need to get into the situation with dignity no gilsey good we have no goal 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. a president of the scientific research from isis center got a slot for one shook says the 4th day of protests in the country what are common but the overall agenda of people hasn't changed. those tweets said peace poor people are calm but there's a lot of joy in their home but their gender change last drop that broke the camel's back was the mass joining the problem is the state enterprises dozens of
9:09 pm
different big commercial entities joining their protest saying that we demand not just a perks from the government we need fair both we need for a elections to look at himself put into position when he did not deliver on any dialogue with any meaningful social group and the way that election commission was deliberate fraud in the election and vote out definitely ignited that kind of protest and anger because nobody believes in butler that we should go to 80 percent of about. honest thought administration has denounced a peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates accusing the last of the trial court which was struck with the help of the united thanks will see israel holding its west bank on accession plans. as a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of president trump with the support of the united arab emirates he's real will suspend declaring sovereignty of the areas outlined in the prisons vision for peace and it's now an
9:10 pm
expanding ties with other countries in the arab and muslim world. deal is the result of length negotiations it's 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 as one of security and other issues. but this speech in his speech regarding the deal prime minister benjamin netanyahu said he's not giving up on the annexation plans and said he won't pursue them without washington support no wonder the u.s. is ready peace plan for the region outlined back in january an explosion was supposed to begin last month we got reaction to the new deal. is 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 and positivity for the whole region and the palestinians again
9:11 pm
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. issued a statement it is a very harsh statement against united arab emirates it's them the betrayal of the police of jerusalem of the palestinian people and the palestinian cause by doing this is this. to get used to it. united arab emirates and saudi arabia claiming that they support the bill. but. they are not doing it in anything to the palestinian leadership was facing
9:12 pm
a very difficult plane entering the crisis because israel is going if it's getting good freezing the delivery of the palestinian taxes they're not doing anything practically to support the bill as. it widens hoping his choice of voting right will give his campaign what it needs to see donald trump from the white house seems though not everyone shares that enthusiasm particularly considering harris his past and more can delve deeper. 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
9:13 pm
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 .
9:14 pm
hard. 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
9:15 pm
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 moping 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 or have you know 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
9:16 pm
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
9:17 pm
a woman of color as finally joined a major presidential ticket in the united states. but many of the people expected to vote for tom lehrer's in november and got pretty big questions here with martin artsy new york. was 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 the technology professor knol sharkey from the campaign to stop killer robots says it must be humans are not machines making decisions on the battlefield 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 to bow 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 and so on driven by
9:18 pm
a computer and the computer to make that final decision this targets ok because under the laws of war if you're in dota better target if there's any to it whatsoever don't leave thought autonomous weapons are able to operate in the air water even in space program to identify and engage targets humans though still give the order to attack at present though they can be programmed to make the decision themselves and some countries though see the benefit of having such technology in war zones where u.s. arms control association says the weapons are for opportunities in combat it's cheap work 247 and don't tire on the front line it could reduce crash salty's professor sharkey though 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 knew and so 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
9:19 pm
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. a huge explosion in beirut last week is not only left much of the city in ruins it also knocked out many of its hospitals and so many people injured in the blast that's only adding to the difficulties in the city now 3 major hospitals are out of action leaving the ones still functioning completely overwhelmed international help there has been flooding in as it was not off has been following. 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
