presence there to monitor turkey's activities in disputed waters. below there you watching r.t. international is friday afternoon it's just gone 2 o'clock. betteridge has started to release protesters who were detained during the unrest that followed sunday's disputed presidential election these are the 1st images of by the russians porking free from detention some people have been held for 4 days the interior ministry has pledged to release all detainee's on friday but around $6000.00 were arrested during the 1st 3 days of unrest and i'm going to stop there released overnight describes what she witnessed inside. so there was the women were lying on the floor and the men who were in the next out they were constantly so badly that they

just how long it was a terrible how all the blood frozen my veins just what we heard every night it was terrible the prison guards were saying what's wrong is your life that's bad decided to act out and we live work here because of some nonsense what kind of doctors are you you're not doctors i do. i know what you are werewolves that's the sort of thing they shout it and a lot of swear words that i don't want to repeat they were also saying this when you were 1st held on the street everyone driving by was shocked doctors in white robes on their knees with a machine gun to the head. however about a russian interior ministry representative doesn't say there was no mistreatment of protesters in detention. i think ralph the way you think about it are you with us here but he didn't use the buses do you think if you heard that before there. were protests against better russian police brutality have been held across europe including outside the better russian embassy. quarter brought us this report

earlier in the morning. well it's still early in the day here in moscow and the protests in front of the bella russian embassy behind me have typically been taking place in the evening but by the looks of things the abnormal brutality with which the ballarat police is using to handle the protesters seems only actually to be strengthening the valor russian opposition yesterday we saw protests called lines of solidarity of women dressed in white holding flowers and portraits of loved ones that were arrested since the beginning of the on rest we also saw workers from some of the country's several major factories going on strike so the sheer scale of this protests in belarus has definitely grown massively since the beginning. of the. don't so.

i don't know. what. it was. that. it was that it was. very. serious. we've also seen protests in front of belorussian embassies in a number of different countries in kiev for example we saw protesters throwing orange smoke bombs at the building and here the protests in front of the by the russian embassy we've seen belorussians as well as native muscovites to a form to protest against the police brutality and president alexander lukashenko is a legit election raking now let's not forget that russian journalists were among the

many who had been arrested in these protests including artie's. responded in minsk and a number of roughly workers now we did hear from the belorussian minister of internal affairs who apologized to those who were injured and were not violently protesting let's take a listen to what he had to say. some took to the streets before the voting had even finished they decided beforehand that they would protest on the 11th they put up barricades using ripped up benches from bus stops and flipped over flower stands was that a peaceful act of protest in any mass confrontation when dealing with widespread violations of public order bystanders would inevitably get caught up in the action as commander i take responsibility and apologize for the injuries to people who receive them for no reason so what these protests intensifying and no sign of the government really looking to give in to them will definitely keep watching this story and give our viewers the latest developments as they become available on

course there were commenting on the claims of violence against journalists better reeses ministry of internal affairs has now pledged to investigate every single allegation earlier we spoke to economist. he says that while the 4th day of protests in belarus were relatively calm people are still very angry. who is to insert peace for people. for the joy in their all but their gender change be a last drop that broke the camel's back was the mass join you the problem is the state enterprise dozens of different big commercial entities joined the protest saying that we demand not to purchase from the government we need both. elections to look at himself put 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 out definitely ignited that kind of protest and anger

because nobody believes in butler that we should go to 80 percent of. the united arab emirates and israel have agreed to normalize relations the deal brokered by washington includes a promise to be by israel to delay annexation of palestinian lands in the west bank the palestinians have reacted angrily with the israeli prime minister saying eventually annexation is still on the cards. and there is no change in my plan to implement our sovereignty in judeo and somalia in full coordination with the united states i'm committed to it but it's still on the table. for los angeles to new leadership rejects what the united arab emirates has done and considers it a betrayal of jerusalem and the palestinian cause however some day suspect that the deal between the u.s. and israel actually targets another regional player is kind of more pain explains

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 to a corporation 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 now showing up in a lot of the conversations 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 these very. than 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 past 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 the islamic republic of iran is confident that history will show that this was a mistake made by israel and this dagger that has been unjustly thrust by the

united arab emirates into the backs of the palestinian people and all muslims will lead to strengthening resistance and the unity of the muslim people against israel as well as fuel confrontation in the region 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 your story 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. 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 france is building up its military presence it is after turkey started oil and gas exploration in disputed waters there and that has enraged greece and cyprus power says his deployment is a temporary measure it designed to monitor the situation although relations with ankara are already strained with more ways china to ski. president matt corn has signaled that 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 referee 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 only have to scratch the surface to see that there is more going on here in recent months cross' 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 rushing from his mind it appears to have been keen to show solidarity with a fellow member in this case greece last month makan even cool for sanctions against turkey over these purported violations in the eastern mediterranean now the arrival of turkey's new seismic civvy vessel that's 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 issue. in line with principles of good neighborly relations international law and positive engagement with france now bolstering its military might to aid greece's plight greece is perhaps our 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 france rather than defeating the situation could in fact escalate it. r.t. paris. people in beirut are still reeling of course from last week's devastating explosion killed over 200 people injured thousands and left up 230-0000 homeless buildings as far as 10 kilometers from the blast at the center were destroyed but here's the story of one lebanese designer who is trying to rebuild his life's work from scratch.

like i was always so happy we were facing the putting i always sort is very artistic and inspiring because it's industrial enriching details now everything is rick's look at the destruction the wreckage i don't know how much time it would take to be rebuilt. there are no words to describe what my team and i feeling but we can't but thank god that we're all alive and well no one was hurt we left this building 10 minutes before the blast hit and thank god no one was hurt that's the most important thing . to. both of the hard work of 20 years was destroyed in mere seconds it was because of this tuesday explosion which went off just across the street.

this is another challenge for us how we can get our hands on funds to rebuild they say there will be compensation but that's not certain and this isn't something we used to 11 and i hope we can get compensation to rebuild. this thinking of coming out with a new collection inspired by this very heartbreaking incident my team and i are really picking up the pieces i really want to come out with a collection inspired by beirut the suffering of beirut. good luck to nashville to come here this friday students in germany have inadvertently been funding the radical anti the activism great education faith will follow the money just after the break.

summer's series imax guys are here with stacy herbert you know in a month in which we have the 2 party conventions officially nominated donald trump for the republican and joe biden for the democrats the pen demick throw in the election and even more than usual so joining us is greg palast journalist author of many books including his latest out now skyrocketing all the bestseller lists it's called outro stole 2020. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure i'll be speaking to the world of politics. i'm sure i'll see you been.

watching off international gnashed units in germany have been funding the familiar with knowing it it has transpired that some of the. university have actually ended up in the coach. peter all of the has been following the money trial. the anti fascist organization have received a lot of press in 2020 with even the president of the united states china 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 on too far a cake it's delicate because while anti far on demonized 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 cake 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 ante for a k. be cut the majority of students who spoke to r.t. 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 . i think it's a good idea to go and. i think it does make sense and i think it is important that a wide political spectrum is represented here 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 these are all over our. facebook is being accused of illegally harvesting the facial recognition data of users of his social media platform instagram and it's thought that a class action against the take china 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 is claimed that 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 therefore means the total fine could potentially reach 500000000000 dollars 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 tour however it maintains its face recognition systems are not used on instagram. the suit 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 if the activists and technology experts then new believes that despite the controversial nature of the north there are potentially high risks of facebook really is collecting his 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 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 significant book portion of. facebook is collecting facial recognition software without any form of consent then this is of real abuse and could be ripped equally damaging because it there loses that or fails to protect as it has started other instance it's then all of the people it's collective. could be vulnerable to identity theft to the rest of the leaps.

now with the black lives matter movement gaining traction around the world since the killing of george floyd some of the biggest companies from silicon valley to wall street have publicly denounced racism their efforts could actually be in vain as a recent poll does reveal that very few people actually think that these statements are sincere the survey found that 7 out of 10 americans believe the anti races messaging coming from corporate america is simply due to public pressure rather than actual concern for black communities daughter found see that people are divided over whether or not such messaging is necessary at all. the swap black american set out to make them.

political comment i don't think brian like he's one of those who thinks that companies are supporting the b.l.m. movement just to keep their profits these companies are just trying to be virtuous and as their consumers and i don't want to have any kind of cancel culture or to cancel my company direction they don't want to get their stories they don't want to have a negative representation so to go out there is a 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 'd 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 these things 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. national the company that's i things they're looking for not say we're back again at the top of. the illustrations but it's put to rest and not just up but the style of speech that . eat. up the. first year march. pictures local on. board a. hospital visit. they say. they

enforced and that's the beginning of this concept of these transnationals they have the technology to do it they had the transportation systems to do it and frankly governments weren't stopping them. and i just remember one day i was i was working on the boss come up to me and says that's where we're going home. i thought we're going home early why because we're closed and if they closed doors on us or. i don't know what to say. because it's a crying shame really is. i was a long time or a democrat. but this last election before it came along i switch parties i switch parties republican now and. i think mr trump is doing
