bolster its military presence there to monitor turkey's activities activities in disputed waters. are broadcasting live coverage from our studios in moscow this is our team international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us the u.n. security council has rejected a u.s. sponsored resolution to extend the arms trade embargo on iran only to members including the us supported the draft while russia and china voted against and the other members including the u.k. france and germany abstained the embargo was imposed in 2010 and is to expire in october under the joint comprehensive plan of action that is the 2015 deal to impose controls on iran's nuclear program reports. well the resolution put forward by the united states would have extended the arms embargo against iran now france
10:02 pm
germany and other countries have been very vocal about the fact that they oppose the united states' decision to unilaterally withdraw from the iran nuclear agreement and furthermore they oppose putting new sanctions on iran now in the lead up to the vote at the u.n. security council u.s. diplomats were very adamant that they felt this arms embargo must be extended here's some of what we heard. i call upon all think you are to council members to wake up to the real world implications of allowing this arms embargo to lapse the security council central purpose is to promote global peace and security failure to extend the arms embargo would make a mockery of that sacred responsibility on which the united nations was created now prior to the vote in which this resolution failed mike peo said the united states feels that if this arms embargo is not extended as it was not that the united

states will impose the snap back mechanism in the iran nuclear deal and snap back the sanctions on iran this is mike papantonio the us secretary of state i want to as i said i want to be 2 kids were deeply aware that snapback is an option that's available to the united states and we're going to do everything within america's power to ensure that that arms embargo is extended and i'm confident that we will be successful now the snap back mechanism in the iran nuclear agreement was essentially put in place so that if iran were to violate the chase c.p.o. ok they would then face the penalty of an immediate snap back of the sanctions however let's remember that it was not iran that violated the agreement and the agreement was not withdrawn from by iran it was the united states that pulled out of the agreement so u.n. lawyers are going to have to look into the legality of the united states imposing the snapback mechanism when iran has not violated the agreement now currently mike

pompei o is in vienna talking with officials from the international atomic energy agency they say that iran has fully complied with the nuclear deal i'm not violating my camp they are says however it doesn't really seem to be a about the nuclear deal anymore this is my pompei on iran must provide full transparent and immediate cooperation with the i.a.e.a. we can't allow the world's biggest state sponsor of terrorism to buy and sell. weapons of mass just not us so it seems that the trumpet ministrations policy imposing maximum pressure on iran and ripping up the iran nuclear deal was essentially put 2 of folks at that body that meets the united nations and it seems that this policy of the trump white house seat and escalate tensions with iran was overwhelmingly rejected joshua landis a director of the center for middle east studies and a professor of middle eastern studies at the university of oklahoma believes the
10:05 pm
u.s. moves are part of a wider campaign to control oil supply. the united states as you know has a maximum pressure campaign on iran they want the run government at least the way they put it to change its behavior radically in the region this is part of a much larger u.s. policy to help its friends saudi arabia israel and to her next enemies and to keep america paramount in the persian gulf the source of so much of the world's oil 50 percent of the world's oil supplies is about control of the international energy supply the united states is leading the way in this maximum pressure campaign and it believes that it should be able to get its allies in europe to join it now of course that leaves russia and china. who are looking at this very skeptically but even france is looking at it skeptically europeans are highly dependent on united states they need to stick together with the u.s.
10:06 pm
and i guess that's the major hope that the u.s. will be able to rally its people at least show the world that there is a division and china and russia on one side does what the united states and europe are on the other side of. the e.u. top diplomats have agreed to to slap sanctions on bella roofs over what they claim was the falsified election and the violence during the ensuing protests meanwhile those arrested in minsk during a week of anti-government demonstrations have started to be released since the outbreak of the unrest police have faced allegations of excessive brutality president alexander lukashenko said he didn't have a problem with the conduct of security forces although he did urge them to take a softer line meanwhile the protests continue with the country's capital once again the main focus these are images from the square in front of the main government building some protesters that rushed in to hug and herd flowers to security forces after they lay down their shields and in extraordinary move that is after crowds of

10:14 pm
sure there is the most western countries and especially i think germany wants to have the negotiation with me i thought a moment the sanctions they're talking about are mostly symbolic and not really grow found we will see how the situation will with. the massive explosion last week in beirut destroyed much of the city and locals have been left to try to pick up the pieces not just of the shattered buildings but also their lives as well one fashion designer shared the story with us. like i was always so happy we were facing the putting it we saw it is very artistic
10:15 pm
and inspiring because it's industrially breaching details of how everything is rings because the destruction the wreckage which time it would take to be built so . there are no words to describe it my team and a feeling that we can't let things go into the noise and we'll know what was left this building 10 minutes before the blast hit and thank god the most current that's the most important thing. work of 20 years was destroyed the media seconds it was because of this tuesday explosion which went off just across the street. small and this is another challenge for us how we can get our hands on phones to rebuild they say there will be compensation but that's not certain and this isn't something we could use to 11 and i hope we can get compensation to rebuild.
10:16 pm
thinking of coming out with a new collection inspired by this very heartbreaking incident my team and i are really picking up the pieces to come out with a collection inspired by babe ruth the suffering that. france is ramping up its military presence in the eastern mediterranean this is after turkey began to oil and gas exploration a disputed waters there paris says it's deployed in only a temporary measure but its relations with are already strained with more here's our to show different. president matt corn has signalled that the along tensions continue to rise between greece and turkey the situation in the eastern mediterranean is worrying tookey is unilateral decisions on oil exploration are
10:17 pm
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 thank president mccraw and for his cell a dirty emanuel mccraw 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 do need her to scratch the surface to see that there is more going on here in recent months process 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
10:18 pm
a serious and explicit in french moment 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 maclin 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. it is in line with principles of good neighborly relations international and positive engagement with fronts now bolstering its military might to aid greece's plight greece is perhaps there feeling in bold and its place its military on high alert recalling naval and air
10:19 pm
force personnel from the holidays turkey for its part says it will protect its rights toys and interests in coastal areas and with fronts now wading into these parts turkey's president is accused of provoking regional players into taking wrongful steps there is concern that this action by fronts rather than just seizing the situation could in fact escalated shola t.v. r.t. paris. students in germany have been funding the controversial activist movement without even knowing it it has come to light that part of the tuition fees paid to cologne university have been going to the movement for years are all over reports. the anti fascist organization have received a lot of press in 2020 with even the president of the united states china in the
10:20 pm
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 use 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 fees 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 anti 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
10:21 pm
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 n.t. for a k. be cut the majority of students who spoke to our 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 a social organisation and is dealing with many board and social issues and there let you know we ended. improving wellbeing i think it's a good idea to support them and. i think it does make sense and i think it is
10:22 pm
important and why 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 collaring since it was set up 15 years ago neither the student body that doles out the funding know the students themselves see any reason why they should change any time soon but while the name on to continues to be mentioned in trembling tones by those in power the group may find themselves coming and more scrutiny. with the growth of the black lives matter movement following the killing of george floyd some of the biggest companies on the planet were quick to publicly denounce racism but a recent poll shows few people actually think these statements are sincere the survey in the us found 7 out of 10 people believe corporate america's anti-racism stance is just down to public pressure rather than actual concern it also found
10:23 pm
people split over whether such messaging is necessary at all. this while black americans sit out to make their own. political commentator anthony bryan logan believes companies are only looking out for their profits. these companies are just trying to be virtuous in the eyes of their 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 to go out there and say things i always support black labs black cloud matter is all about just p.r. company relation is trying to appear virtuous and good in the eyes of those that
10:24 pm
are out there protesting and also and 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 ought 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. facebook is being accused of illegally harvesting of the facial recognition data of its instagram users in a class action against the social media giant could cost the company up to half a trillion dollars once facebook captures instagram users protected by metrics it eases 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 of their quite notices or
10:25 pm
disclosures required by illinois law it is claimed facebook violated the privacy 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 and therefore means the total fine it could potentially reach 500000000000. 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 tool however it maintains it's a facial recognition software is not used on instagram the city's baseness 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 a technology expert bill mew believes in if facebook really is collecting biometric
10:26 pm
data or there could be some huge repercussions 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 uses to a large extent the little being used here is the one in illinois which is the strictest biometrics of security or privacy law anyway around the world and has been brought of all of us users which are a significant proportion of the. facebook is telex in facial recognition software without any form of consent then this is of real abuse and i could be potentially damaging because it then loses the date so or fails to protect as it has started other instances then all of the people it's collective pleasure information from could be vulnerable to identity theft to the rest of the lawyers.
