10:03 pm
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 one you're seeing these 2 girls were frozen hands just passed by this is how the center of minsk is looking like. because moving extremely slowly literally in 1st gear all the drivers are honking their horns and waving their arms there are lots of flowers that it is 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 something like that. across the country people have been forming human chains and a show of solidarity with the protesters some of even a charm offensive by giving flowers to the police actually workers that were taking a direct approach with some downing tolls and walking out on strike while voicing
10:04 pm
that a lot. of the. package. meanwhile as we reported earlier in minsk identified all men entered 2 officers of the russian internet giant yandex. company later released a statement saying the group claimed to be members of the anti criminal and anti corruption state office and were conducting a search nothing was seized and the reason for the raid was not disclosed. to look at all but russians have known for 26 years but this is the 1st time his grip on power appears to be slipping little quarter has the details. 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.
10:05 pm
the global superstar the russians have to hold on to look even in the most critical situation as 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 not for you to decide. for themselves i envy myself 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. the populist train before it was cool before politicians like steve
10:06 pm
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 those approval. what did you bring me here so why now to no 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 i 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 baka is also a strong man who created an enclave of the soviet union. in europe it's been a popular stance for years but now look at those image is facing some big problems .
10:07 pm
to. make sure local 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. 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 no incidents if you would see you need to get into the situation with dignity no gilsey good we
10:08 pm
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 lucas 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 president of the scientific research from mars is sent to get a slot for lunch or says the 4th day of protests in but our us when khomeini there will the gender of people hasn't changed. those tweets said peace poor people are the joy in their home but their gender change last drop that broke the camel's back was the mass joining the problem as the state enterprises dozens of different big commercial entities joined their protest saying that we demand not just the
10:09 pm
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 in the election and vote now definitely ignited that kind of protest and anger because nobody believes in butler that location got 80 percent of. the palace thought administration has announced the peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates accusing the latter of betrayal in a court which was struck with the help of the united states will see israel halting its west bank 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 expanding ties with other countries in the arab and muslim world historic deal is
10:10 pm
the result of a 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 presidents 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 support and one of the u.s. is ready peace plan for the region outlined back in january 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 and positivity for the whole region and the palestinians again of choosing to put themselves outside of that their choosing rather than to say yes
10:11 pm
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 the police turn in the. issue of 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 this agreement with. me as well as the unions get used to the official a statement of united arab emirates and. claiming that they support the bill. but. they are not doing it in anything to the palestinian leadership was facing a very difficult financial crisis because israel is going for getting good freezing the delivery of the palestinian taxes they are not doing anything to practically to
10:12 pm
support the bill as. her body and soaping his choice of commodity running mate will give his campaign what it means to unseat donald trump from the white house it seems that not everyone shares that enthusiasm particularly considering harris has passed in scalable with the details. 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
10:13 pm
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 . harbored.
10:14 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
10:15 pm
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 have you all smoked i have ok again i had and i inhaled 98 and i didn't handle getting hit. 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.
10:16 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 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 holing very well around the country however many are jubilant about the fact that a woman of color has finally joined a major presidential ticket in the united states but many of the people expected to
10:17 pm
vote for tom lehrer's in november and got pretty big questions you know what martin artsy new york. has growing support around the world for a ban on so-called killer robots aberforth from human rights watch says 30 countries want to global treaty against the technology for us and all sharkey from the campaign to stop killer robots says it must be humans 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 a kind of bull 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 on and so on 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 dota better target if there's any doubt
10:18 pm
whatsoever don't believe thought autonomous weapons are able to operate in the air water even in space program to identify and engage targets humans those still give the order to attack at present though they can be programmed to make their decision selves and some countries though see the benefit of having such technology in war zones or the u.s. arms control association the weapons of opportunities in combat they're cheap work 247 and tire on the front line and could reduce casualties as well professor sharkey says 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 comply comply with international humanitarian law i don't think
10:19 pm
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 . the huge explosion in beirut last week not only left much of the city in ruins it also knocked out many of its hospitals with so many people injured in the blast that's only adding to the difficulties in the city are 3 major hospitals are out of action leaving the ones still functioning completely overwhelmed international help there has been flooding in as your stuff has been finding out. we're about 7 kilometers outside of the routes 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.
10:20 pm

10:21 pm
places where they've been saving lives here in lebanon the groups worked alongside local doctors on more than 200 cases but some of the most difficult procedures like the one we saw earlier they have been taking on themselves over to the borders 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 feeling better. 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 the swiftness that's likely saved lives. during surgery russian medical aid also arrived at the hospital we received this donation from the
10:22 pm
russian humanitarian mission we thank them a lot for generosity and we want to say russian cultural center because at that moment. because you know. we have a crisis. 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 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 it was done from lebanon. starting in the middle east and daws a young palestinian man his death from a survivable. treating patients across the border in israel but a 2 year old shafi had been waiting

a month for permission to visit the hospital the request was denied but also father told us about his son's last few weeks. condition was discovered in mid january we noticed his face was turning yellow we hospitalized him and after a few days of tests they found out that he had a plastic anemia after 3 and a half months he got a referral to go to the hospital until hashim air at that time his condition was deteriorating and he needed a blood transfusion every couple of days on sunday at 10 am we were told that the application for the patient and his escort had been rejected by the israeli authorities for security reasons finding an escort wasn't easy because the corona virus was spreading across israel finally my cousin agreed and she was accepted but the time was after 9 pm and the border was closed on sunday a week after. the initial application was scheduled we were arranging ambulances both in gaza and in israel we were still doing that until july died at around 1 pm
10:24 pm
his heart just suddenly stopped any patient can have setbacks at any moment so these delays played a key role in his death. graduated from university with this think sion to become a teacher at the un's relief agency for palestinian refugees israeli officials insist his death was not down to them. giles 1st request was approved for july the 16th but this permit was not utilized for reasons unrelated to the israeli side on july the 63 new request was received to coordinate the patients exit for an ambulance after his health deteriorated tutus dispersion of coordination by the civilian committee the organization made the request was asked to provide the missing details on july the 19th the missing details were received and his exit for treatment was approved immediately then 0 physicians for human rights access to his very health care from gaza has been limited of the security
10:25 pm
coordination was halted back in june since then only urgent cases are being processed but in june and july out of 195 urgent patients only hauffe were approved by israel but also they were left feeling helpless. it was hard not to feel helpless condition was worsening and we couldn't do anything about it we could only give him pain killers he was always happy to see me and we used to stay up late in the hospital and have fun and laugh he used to ask me to take him to the beach for a few minutes to cheer him up and was a very social person beloved by everyone who wanted to build a house and get married and wanted me to get married to him to become his neighbor so he wanted to become a teacher in the un relief and working agency for palestinian refugees he even managed to finish his college education but it wasn't god's will of. sick people who get rejected pose no threat to israel but these measures are taken
10:26 pm
to torture people this is one of the ways of the siege in gaza these past days since his death were the hardest days of my life i never had a situation this hard in my life i was a helpless father unable to help my dying son even though we had all the papers to do it even when in a very bad condition was still talking about getting married and having a happy life in any other country this would have been a simple transplant. facebook is being accused of illegally harvesting the facial recognition of users of social media platform instagram a class action against the text it 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 other quite notices or

disclosures required by illinois law. it's claimed facebook violated the privacy rights of $100000000.00 of its users on the current law companies can be fined up to $5000.00 for each individual reckless or intentional violation and therefore means the total fine could potentially reach $500000000000.00 are 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 tagging tall over 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 of privacy activist and technology expert bill knew believe this quite be controversial and of the lawsuit that would potentially run high risks if facebook really is collecting users' biometric data this is to a large extent
10:28 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 security or privacy law anyway around the world and has been brought of all of us users which are a significant book portion of. facebook is collecting facial recognition software without any form of consent then this is of real abuse and i could be particularly damaging because it then loses the date so or fails to protect as it has done with other instances then all of the people it's collected facial information from could be vulnerable to identity theft for the rest of their lives . up next in just
