the last 24 hours of minsk has the wind to change or blown out slowly lost its force in the days after the vote was going on. well kevin no it's still early here in moscow right now so the protesters have yet if they're going to be protesting today to form behind me but it's it's clear in moscow that many believe that this the abnormal use normal brutality that the police has been using and valorous against the protesters has only really been strengthening the opposition within ballerinas yesterday in belarus we saw so-called lines of solidarity made up of women dressed in white carrying flowers and portraits of their family members. who were actually arrested since the beginning of this unrest many workers at some of the country's largest factories have gone on strike and we've seen how the sheer scale of this on raw. has really

grown to a massive proportion. of blood so. at least you can. keep us a. little. disappointed a. lot. of . people which is. the stupidest of what. p.b.s. . now we've also seen protests in front

of the belorussian embassies of a number of different countries in kiev we saw protesters throwing orange smoke grenades at the at that building in here and here where the protests in front of the bella russian embassy have been taking place in moscow it's been a mixture of belorussians and as well of native muscovites reform solidarity protests against the police brutality and the allegedly election rigging at the hands of present current president alexander lukashenko bellerose now let's not forget that russian journalists were also among those who were arrested in the chaos including our correspondent in minsk and several workers for ruptly we did hear from valerie says internal minister also said that he apologized for those who were injured in the in the protests and let's hear what he had to say about that.

some took to the streets when the voting wasn't over yet they decided beforehand that they would protest on the 11th they put up barricades pulled benches from bus stops and flipped families stands to create those structures was a peaceful act of protest in any mass confrontation while dealing with widespread violations of public there's always a situation where not only people who deliberately went for its get affected but also those who appeared to be close to the action and didn't manage to leave as a command i take responsibility and apologize for the injuries of people who received them for no reason. so with these protests intensifying and no sign that the government is willing to surrender to them we'll keep following the story of course and provide our viewers with the latest details as they become available yeah absolutely don't think so of course we can coming up with be interesting to see again what happens over the coming evening something sunday as well when it thanks for that we spoke to 2 economists jaroslav roman choky says that while the 4th day of protests in belarus went relatively calm as we've heard people there

from he says. peace for people. the joy. all but their gender change the last drop that broke the camel's back was the mass join you live probably as the state enterprise dozens of different big commercial entity enjoy the prada saying that we demand not perks from the government we need fair. elections look at himself put in the position where he did not deliver on any dialogue with any meaningful social group and the way that election commissioners. are or the election will. definitely ignited that kind of protest and anger because nobody believes in butler the 80 percent of. this big news this morning united arab emirates in israel have agreed to normalize relations the deal brokered by washington includes

a promise by israel to delay the annexation of palestinian lands in the west bank the palestinians though have reacted angrily about it with the israeli prime minister saying eventually extension is not off the table and should should not there is no change in your plan to implement our sovereignty in judea and samaria in full coordination with the united states i'm committed to it it is still on the table. the palestinian leadership strongly rejects and condemns the surprise american israeli emma rotty tripartite declaration on the full normalization of relations in exchange for an allegedly temporary suspension of the plan to annex palestinian lands and extend israeli sovereignty over the palestinian leadership rejects what the united arab emirates has done and considers it a betrayal of jerusalem x. and the palestinian cause however some suspect the u.a.e. israel deal actually targets another regional players kellam open explains this

morning. israel and the united arab emirates have formally agreed to establish diplomatic ties now many see this as a historic move as for many years arab states have not recognized israel as a country this is a monumental step to forging ties of cooperation in the middle east donald trump supporters say he deserves the nobel peace prize for arranging this but the palestinians aren't exactly thrilled with this new arrangement the deal between. united arab emirates and israel is a betrayal of the palestinians given the historical. relationship that israel has had with the arab states in other words no peace. according to the old formula no peace was possible until the palestinian issue was resolved and the palestinian issue is not resolved the palestinian authority is now formally withdrawing its envoy from the united arab emirates they say recognizing

a country that is occupying them is simply unacceptable now in the diplomatic fallout of this deal we're starting to see what this is really all about aside from the u.a.e. israel in the united states there is a 4th country that is now showing up in a lot of the conversation surrounding the deal iran peace between the arabs and the israelis is a rome's worst nightmare and no one has done more to intensify the conflict between the arabs and the israelis of iran what we see today is a new middle east the trend lines are very different today and we see the future is very much in the gulf and with israel and the post is with the iranian regime it clings to power on the basis of brute force. iran often labeled as israel's largest regional opponent has denounced the deal yees new approach for normalizing ties to a fake criminal israel doesn't mean team peace and security but serves on go inside

the scribes i would judge his behavior has noticed if occasion cheered him back on the course with that strategic mistake you you will be engulfed is it isn't fire when donald trump visited saudi arabia he spoke of building an arab nato that would work as a coalition in the region opposing iran and fighting terrorism and it seems now this just storage deal is being revealed not so much to be about getting recognition for israel or protecting palestinians from annexation but about targeting one of washington's most longstanding opponents in the region there is definitely the pattern isn't toward iran and i think the timing is ideal given what's happening in beirut and the fact that hezbollah is now under pressure in lebanon with the government having. resigned there so we have a coalition building disagreement rather than easing tensions in the gulf within

the arab states will. harden stances or at least continue to maintain the antagonism that we have. tensions are escalating in the eastern mediterranean where right now france is building up its military presence itself to turkey started oil and gas exploration in disputed waters there and it's enraged greece and cyprus for now paris says its deployment is a temporary measure designed to monitor the situation but relations with ankara had already been strained do bensky picks up the story for you. president much corn has signaled the along as tensions continue to rise between greece and turkey the situation in the eastern mediterranean is worrying 2 keys unilateral decisions on oil exploration are causing tensions these must stop in order for a peaceful dialogue between neighboring and nato allies to take place but this

seemingly didn't stop the french president from reinforcing france's military presence in the mediterranean it's confirmed paris will send to ref a and fighter jets and the naval frigate lafayette a move welcomed by the greek prime minister i think president mccraw on for his cell a dirty emanuel necron is a true friend of greece but also a fervent defender of european values and international law the greek pm bill this as an act of solidarity but you who need her to scratch the surface to see that there is more going on here in recent months crosses also found itself clashing with turkey in the mediterranean. these past few days we have seen turkish warships deliver syrian mercenaries to libyan soil this is a serious and explicit in french amount of what was agreed upon in berlin i must reiterate the prerequisite for any political solution in libya is the cancellation

of this document but with that incident still fresh in france is mind it appears to have been keen to show solidarity with a fellow member in this case greece last month macko an even cooler for sanctions against turkey over these purported violations in the eastern mediterranean now the arrival of turkey's new seismic civvy vessel this caught the attention of the e.u. the latest developments rick stream the worrying what is needed to be done is to engage in solving all the open. with principles of good neighborly relations international law and positive engagement with france now bolstering its military might to aid greece's plight who are east is perhaps their feeling in bold and its place its military on high alert recalling naval and air force personnel from their holidays turkey for its part says it will protect its rights toys and interests in

coastal areas and with france now wading into this pact turkey's president is accused of provoking regional players into taking wrongful steps there is concern that this action by fronts rather than to fees in this situation could in fact escalate it so that david r.t. carries. my 50 moscow time next people in beirut are still reeling from last week's devastating explosion that killed over 200 people injured thousands and left up 230-0000 homeless buildings as far as 10 kilometers from the blast epicenter were destroyed next for the story of one lebanese designer who's having to rebuild his life's work from scratch.

because we were so happy we do facing the do we suffer it is very artistic inspiring because it's industrially breaching details of everything it's rings because the destruction the wreckage which time it would take to be rebuilt. there are no words to describe the feeling we call the thing. that was lived these buildings 10 minutes before the blast and. the most current that's the most important thing. called work of 20 years was destroyed the mia seconds it was because of this tuesday explosion which went off just across the street.

saying no the challenge for us and we can get a hands on funds to rebuild they say there will be compensation but i ask certain and this isn't something we used to 11 and i hope we can get compensation to rebuild. this summer to thinking of coming out with a new collection inspired by this very heartbreaking incident my team and i are really picking up the pieces every month to come out with a collection inspired by bay roots the suffering of beirut a lot of all fear is pretty faithful there as well coming up to watch and by the way this morning this friday morning 6 students in germany have inadvertently been funding the radical anti for activism group via the chillis shouldn't face were on the trail of up and after this break.

ah no no crowd. no shots. actually felt. well it's track no 1st of all. points your thirst for action. no one else seemed wrong why don't we all just all. get to shape out just the etiquette and indeed from an equal trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

by going to morning she did this in germany have been funding the anti food movement without knowing it it transpired that some of the chew wish in fees paid to cologne university seems have ended up in the controversial activist groups hands for years is our europe correspondent peter all over on the money trail. the anti fascist organization have received a lot of press in 2020 with even the president of the united states chime in the united states of america will be designating and as a terrorist organization here in germany they haven't received that type of

criticism but there is a controversy surrounding the gifts of university students fees from cologne to go towards a contribution to the group for the 2020 to $21.00 winter semester each student at the university of cologne pays $280.00 euro and $0.95 for $205.00 euro and $0.95 goes to the student council and is meant to pay the transport is counting worker's salary and for the department's work out of the $10000000.00 euro the council will take in around 8 and a half 1000 will be paid to the student branch and to far take its delicate because while auntie far on demonised here the way they are in the us a report by germany's internal security service the beer file has some pretty strong things to say about a k. and the groups it's associated with conservative student groups in turn and not so

happy that they have to contribute to a case without choice it shouldn't be that every student has to subsidize a group that has been classified as extremist by the office for the protection of the constitution we regularly demand that the funding of n.t. for a k. be cut the majority of students who spoke to said they had absolutely no problem paying a contribution to our k. i don't know how much the payment is but i'm sure it is not enough and it should be higher i think it's good because it's important to support the social organisation and is dealing with many board and social issues and they're less you know we ended . well being. i think it's a good idea to go and. i think it does make sense and i think it is important and why political spectrum is represented and i see no problem that it is fine and from the student piece a k.

has received funding from students at the university of cologne since it was set up 15 years ago neither the student body that doles out the funding nor the students themselves see any reason why that should change any time soon but while the name until far continues to be mentioned in trembling tones by those in power the group may find themselves coming under more scrutiny peter all over r.t. . facebook's being accused of illegally harvesting the facial recognition data of users of its social media platform instagram so now a class action against the tech giant could cost the company up to half the trillion dollars. once facebook captures instagram users protected by metrics it uses them to both or its facial recognition abilities curse ulf 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

rights of $100000000.00 of its uses under the current law companies can be fined up to $5000.00 for each individual reckless or intentional violation so if you have that up there for means the total fine could potentially reach $500000000000.00 now just 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 tracking tool over it maintains its face recognition systems are not used on instagram. the city's 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 privacy activist and technology expert bill new spoke to us he believes the despite the controversial nature of the lawsuit there are potentially high risks if

a sport really is collecting uses biometric data. this is to large extent 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 anywhere in the world and is being brought on behalf of us users which are a significant proportion of. the facebook is collecting facial recognition software without any form of consent then this is of real abuse and could be equally damaging because it then loses that dates 0 or fails to protect it as it has started another instance it's then all of the people it's collected facial information from could be vulnerable to identity theft to the rest of the leafs.

with loads matta movement gaining traction around the world since the killing of george floyd some of the biggest companies from silicon valley to wall street of publicly denounced racism their efforts may be in vain though as a recent poll has revealed that very few people actually think the say was a sincere survey found that 7 out of 10 americans believe the anti racism messaging coming from corporate america is simply due to public pressure rather than actual concern for black communities it also found that people are divided over whether or not such messaging is necessary at all is a quick look at how companies have reacted then to black lives matter. the swap black american set out to make them.

a little come tighter on to the brand logan is one of those who thinks that companies is supporting the b.l.m. movement just to keep their profits at the end of the day. these companies are just trying to be virtuous and as consumers and they don't want to have any kind of cancel culture or to cancel coming your direction they don't want to get your stories they don't want to have a negative representation so don't go out there and say thing as i always support black labs black lab matter it's all about just p.r. company relation is trying to appear virtuous and good in the ads of those that are out there protesting and also and as a of those that are out there sympathetic towards the protesters if a company had a reputation of being pro social justice and pro you know black labs and anti-police for loans then it would make sense for them to have this stance now but if you're not that kind of company if there's

a company that sells hamburgers and hot dogs i mean there's no reason for you to go out there and talk about anything political at all no reason whatsoever there's no reason to pick sags. leave you without thought that's it for now keep close so much more of what we talk about stay online at r.t. to a coma various social media here on but with more in just about half an hour's time 33 minutes in fact reporting this friday morning from moscow kevin owen here thanks for watching this update and whatever you doing today have a great day. an entire village in alaska. if another country trying to wipe out an american town. we do everything up our to protect the. water they escaping climate change is the

it could be argued. that we're now in the midst of a. slow motion. democracy is weakening. conference as it is strengthening. and none of us has chosen this route for a society. in spite of which our elites quite happily continue down. this is a multi-lane highway. kind of savage. that runs directly over the center of camden new jersey so that commuters in and out of philadelphia.
