11:01 pm
welcome to the program. ministry has pledged to release all detainees from the protests in the wake of sunday's disputed presidential election which has plunged the country into chaos and. it has described what she witnessed. somebody my age girls were lying there and boys we can excel constantly beaten so badly that the guys just hold it was a terrible hole the blood flows in my veins just from what we heard every night it was terrible. it was all an interior ministry representative classist there was no mistreatment of protesters and attention when it's in cities across the country
11:02 pm
have taken part in protests against the violence let's talk to us their usual was the taint after a demonstration. coming from which while we were sitting in the street everyone driving by was shocked the doctors in white robes were on our knees with a machine gun by our head meanwhile people have once again been converging on the city center our correspondent reports from the heart of the capital. this is just the year they were supposed to be honest it's quite difficult to describe to you what's going on in victory square in minsk on the square there are women with families inheritance you can also see the women dressed in white with flowers in the hands remaining along independence avenue cars and buses which are passing by honking their horns in support of what they call the solidarity actions the solidarity is against violence and the right place and all the recent developments . there 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
11:03 pm
action is also against violence isn't it great i guess all these ideas are being championed here 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 are 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. because moving extremely slowly literally in 1st gear all the drivers are honking their horns and waving their arms there are lots of flowers seriously 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 . across the country people have been forming human chains and a show of solidarity with the protesters some of even a box on a charm offensive while giving flowers to police actually workers they are taking a direct approach with some doubting tolls and walking out on strike while voicing
11:04 pm
their demands. did. you hear. that. meanwhile as we reported earlier an end to 5 armed men entered 2 offices of the russian internet giant together the company late already the statement saying the group claiming to be members of the ad to crawl to corruption state office are conducting a search nothing was seized and the reason for the raid was not disclosed president lukashenko was all alone for 26 years this is the 1st time though his grip on power appears to be slipping a little 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 that position for
11:05 pm
decades. the locals who question 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 to google 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 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 and i'm going. for 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
11:06 pm
most recent populist stunts involve 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 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 with. in europe it's been a popular stance for years but now look at those image is facing some big problems .
11:07 pm
in. the making sure locals 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 is eastern neighbor we need to address the russian mass media reduce them not to say no incidents if you will see you need to get into the situation with dignity no gilsey
11:08 pm
good we have new 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 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 moises sent us laugh obama shook says the 4th day approaches some but a ruse went by call many people's overall agenda 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 the 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
11:09 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 and election and vote now definitely ignited that kind of protest and anger because nobody believes in butler that we should go to 80 percent of. the palace thought administration of the now it's the peace deal between israel and the united arab emirates accusing the latter of betrayal their quarter which was struck with the help of the u.s. will see israel holding its west bank out 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 and the areas outlined in the prisons vision for peace and focuses if it's now an expanding ties with other countries in the arab and muslim world
11:10 pm
storage deal is the result of length a negotiation it's the 1st step to normalizing relations between the countries which will supplant open embassies bilateral agreements are expected to be signed in the coming weeks covering christmas tourism direct flights security and other issues. however in his speech on the deal prime minister netanyahu said he's not giving up on annexation plans but said he won't pursue them without washington support under the u.s. is ready peace plan for the region outlined back in january that explosion was supposed to begin last month we got some 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
11:11 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. 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 in this agreement with. me as well as to get used to the official 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
11:12 pm
support the bill as the indians. are bought and so being his choice of commodities as running mate will give his campaign what it means to unseat donald trump from the white house it seems that everyone shares that enthusiasm particularly considering harris's past kaleb or printed delve deeper into the story. 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 in unite for a better america come and i gets that but unity it seems is not the word on every
11:13 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 . hart.
11:14 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
11:15 pm
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 smoking 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 get 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.
11:16 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 boem boem boem 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 has 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
11:17 pm
artsy new york. there's growing support around the world for a ban on so-called killer robots the report from human rights watch says 30 countries want to global treaty against the technology version of 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 another 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 that will go out 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
11:18 pm
whatsoever don't only thought autonomous weapons are able to operate in the air water and even in space program to identify and engage targets human still give the order to attack a present where they can reprogram to make that decision themselves as well some countries though see the benefit of having such technology in war zones and the u.s. arms control association says the weapons offer opportunities in combat it's cheap work 247 and don't tire on the frontline it could reduce casualties as well 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 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 comply with international humanitarian law i don't think that they can comply with the laws of war or at
11:19 pm
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 and so many people injured in the blast that's added to the difficulties in the city 3 major hospitals are out of action leaving the ones still functioning completely overwhelmed but international help has been flooding in as evil 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.
11:20 pm
so russian surgeons with the help of their lebanese colleagues have just finished a ministry and it's t.j. 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 and the doctors here are dealing with right now also she has a severe head trauma. valarie material 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 nepal armenia just some of the places where they've been saving lives here in lebanon the groups worked
11:21 pm
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 open 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 and. their work here has been made possible thanks to russia's official aid agency russell trood just up 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
11:22 pm
a lot for this generosity and we want to say russian cultural center because at that moment thought about the because you know nowadays. 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 r t. in gaza by junk palestinian man's death for survival. treating patients across the border in israel 22 year old shafi had been waiting a month for permission to visit the hospital request was denied john's father told
11:23 pm
us about his son's last few weeks. condition was discovered in mid january we noticed his face was turning yellow we hospitalized 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 his from there 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 coronavirus 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 his heart just suddenly stopped any patient can have setbacks at any moment so
11:24 pm
these delays played a key role in his death. also having their eyes rated from the university with distinction and plaster become a teacher at the un's relief agency for palestinian refugees israeli officials insist his death was through no fault of their own. 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 16th any request was received to coordinate the patients exit for an ambulance after his health deteriorated to choose 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. the enzio physicians for human rights says access to israeli healthcare from gaza has been limited after security coordination was halted in june so is that only urgent cases are being
11:25 pm
processed but. out of 195 urgent patients only hoff were approved by israel so all family says 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 was a very social person beloved by everyone he wanted to build a house and get married and wanted me to get married to him to become his neighbor so i wanted to become a teacher in the un relief and works agency for palestinian refugees even managed to finish his college education but it wasn't god's will. sick people who get rejected pose no threat to israel but these measures are taken to torture people this is one of the ways of the siege in gaza these past days
11:26 pm
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 joy 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 day that 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 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 their acquired notices or disclosures required by illinois law. its claim facebook violated the privacy
11:27 pm
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 therefore means the total fine could potentially reach $500000000000.00 and just last month facebook offered to cash out $650000000.00 to settle a similar case when the company was accused of illegally collecting biometric data through a phone a photo taken toll however it maintains its face recognition systems are not used on instagram the city's baseless instagram doesn't use face recognition technology if we introduced 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. activist on technology expert bill new believes the spot the controversial nature of the lawsuit or a potentially high risks if facebook really is collecting users biometric data. this is to a large extent a claim that is being grouped on
11:28 pm
a speculative basis because we don't know whether the instagram used facial recognition software for show we don't know the extent to which it used and how many uses too much extent the little being used here is the one in illinois which is the strictest bar metrics of security all privacy low anywhere in the world and has been groups of golf of us uses which are a significant proportion of the banks facebook is telling facial recognition software without any form of consent then this is of real abuse and i could be really damaging because it then loses the or fails to protect as it has done with other instances then also people it's telling to pleasure information from could be vulnerable to identity theft to the rest of the leaps. larking high split thinking coming up in just a few moments time i just call it success here most of course back at 7 am to bring
