the u.n. security council rejects a u.s. sponsored resolution to extend an arms embargo on iran with only 2 members voting in favor. the e.u. rejects the election results and says it will kill the country with sanctions meanwhile the thousands arrested during the mass anti-government protest begin to be released and made claims of widespread police brutality this week one doctor shares her experience. with the women were in line on the floor and the men were in the next hour they were constantly being so badly just how long. and tensions spiked in the mediterranean as france says it will bolster its military presence there to monitor turkey's activities in the speech was.

broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is r t international and sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us right now 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 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 the 2015 deal to impose controls on iran's nuclear program or he's come up and has. well the resolution put forward by the united states would have extended the arms embargo against iran now france 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 tayo 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 too cute how we're 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. away 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 violated my client they are says however it doesn't really seem to be a 1000 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 terrorism to buy and sell. weapons mess it's not us so it seems that the trumpet ministrations policy of imposing maximum pressure on iran and ripping up the iran nuclear deal centrally put 2 of folks at the body that meets the united nations and it seems that this policy of the trump white house tension with iran was overwhelmingly rejected. joshua landis director of the center for middle eastern studies and professor of middle eastern studies at the university of oklahoma believes the u.s. moves are part of a wider campaign to control oil supplies. the united states as you know has

a maximum pressure campaign on iran they want the iran 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 nik's 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 and to join it now of course at least 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. 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 that's what the united states and europe are on the other side. that used top diplomats have agreed to to slap sanctions on belarus 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 demin. stray shins have started to be released since the outbreak of the unrest police have faced allegations of excessive brutality president alexander lukashenko said that he did not have a problem with the conduct of the security forces although he urged them to take a softer line meanwhile protests continue with of the country's capital once again the main focus these are images from the square in front of the main government building some protesters rushed to hug and hand flowers to security forces after they laid down their shields in an unprecedented move this is after crowds of demonstrators converged on the area striking workers from one of the country's

biggest factories the mills tractor workers were among them let's hear now from our correspondent on the scene. push this a city that's been the square in minsk something absolutely unique and interesting for better or worse is happening here you can see the special police force moving town and forces standing behind me with the courage and that's the house of the government on the other side is where protesters have gathered everything is peaceful no provocations and says we can see offices put down as she leaves. that's the situation knows minsk attractive factory workers arrived here with them banners. and well nothing else is going on. people are chanting slogans let them go. but all of this is going on thankfully without provocations for now they certainly inforced know if this is just openly standing that look at this it's a unique picture i haven't seen anything like this before. with

more on friday's developments in bella ruse here is that among cause of. all this friday night will see a lot of families well let's see they're allowed loved ones after almost a week long absence and that's because the bill russian authorities began releasing all those of protesters who were detained in that mass rallies that. on sunday right after the right after the presidential election in the roost how many of the detainees are being released right now have been sharing their harrowing experience this take a look at it was just the right police asked us to show all passports but i didn't have one and then they asked for my phone and saw what i had been feldmann they said i should go to them and one by a police officer grabbed me i tried to resist and he invited 5 others i said how are you going to look into your mother's eyes they shouted shut the fuck and hit me

in the head while we were walking to the police then they called me a prostitute when we felt sick they said you can urinate on vomit we don't care. we should not stop the feds use we spent 17 hours outside without water or food or anything on the cell we were given only bread and water there were 40 of us in there we stopped on the floor the men were beaten so badly that they screamed 247 they beat them to within an inch of their lives import of water on them and beat them again. or send him i was not only a person and he was detained tyra's who he asked also to the put into the police van conditions at the crescent detention center there's much to be desired there are 30 to 50 people who wants how no food just have water and human treatment. of interior ministry pledge that they will let all of the detainees go by the end all for this friday now so for around 2000 people have been freed and that's

approximately a 3rd of all those who were detained during the week long almost a week long rally lot among those people who were detained were medics as well let's take a listen to this firsthand account there was that women were lying on the floor and the men who were in the next out they were constantly so badly gray just how long it was a terrible how all the bloody frozen my lanes were just or what. heard every night of these and it was terrible the prison guards were saying what's wrong is your life that's bad decided to act out and we lose a war here because of some nonsense what kind of doctors are you you're not doctors i don't know what you are werewolves that's the sort of thing they shout at people and a lot of swear words that i don't want to repeat they were also saying this when you were 1st held in the street everyone driving by was shocked doctors and white ropes on their knees been chained on to the had a machine that now protest in belarus have moved beyond the streets as as factories bland send different markets began protesting expressing their son to geraghty with

the bills of the mass rallies as well one of belarus's said biggest tracks there's a tractor manufacturers well they suspended their operations partially after employees decided to walk out on strike now the prime minister all deliveries decided to visit at this plant and to talk to the strikers however they were not satisfied with with the meeting and now they're heading towards the russian capital often mince pie they're calling for reforms 3rd calling to bring justice to those who were hurt during the mass rallies and they're also calling for the departure of president look at shango now the president himself all here reacted to the growing number of work your support testing and address the strikers by calling on them to get back to work and day he also promised that all of the detention cases that took

place over the last all almost a week will be investigated meanwhile in syria minister all bellew small he he apologized to the people who are hurt during the protest in a statement earlier on friday as well know that the 1st official results of the votes which took place last sunday was an ounce cell on friday and. gave president lukashenko a landslide victory his opponents managed to cut off scale she dismissed the result state and it has absolutely nothing to do with reality as you call it she said that she will create a cold the nation council that will see to the peaceful transfer of power in the bellerose meanwhile this comes as the european union is also mulling sanctions against a bill or is germany and the european union have both expressed concern and support for science sanctions on the the bill or russian officials falling mass arrests off

the demonstrators also a spokesman for german chancellor angela merkel she said at that point in post-election president of bill reese was on except civil and the chancellor was shocked by what she had seen how these statements say came out just to head off a special video called all for you for it ministers on friday who convene to discuss the measures that they will take on the situation in belarus. professor at the french national institute of languages in eastern civilizations bruno dress ski season european sanctions on bellerose as a mostly symbolic move. there are discussion was in european union because they are in a difficult situation because on one side. they would like of course some political turn to changes in belarus but in the same time they don't want to go 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 are 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 has destroyed much of the city and the locals have been left trying to pick up the pieces not just of the shattered buildings but also of their lives one fashion designer shared his story with us. like i was always so happy we were facing the putting it we saw it is very artistic and inspiring because it's industrially reaching 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 it my team and a feeling that we can't but thing going to the real life and well no one was hurt believe this building 10 minutes before the blast hit and thank god the most current that's the most important thing. of the hard work of 20 years was destroyed the missed 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 funds to rebuild they say there will be compensation but that's not certain and this isn't something we do use to 11 and i hope we can get compensation to rebuild.

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. france's wrapping up its military presence in the eastern mediterranean that after turkey began oil and gas exploration in disputed waters there paris says its deployment is only a temporary measure but its relations with ankara are already strained with more is our 2 strolled. 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 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 emmanuel mccraw on 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 has 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 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 issue. 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 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 fronts now wading into this part turkey's president is accused of provoking regional players into taking wrongful steps there is concern that this action by fronts rather than to see using the situation could in fact escalated jollity whiskey r.t. paris. students in germany have been funding the controversial activist movement and the fall without even knowing it it has come to light that part of the tuition fees paid to cologne university has been going to the movement for years we 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 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 discounting worker's salary and for the department's work out of the 10000000 euro the council will take in around 8 and a half 1000 will be paid to the student branch and to 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 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 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 in. well being so i think it's a good age see it is and. i think it does make sense and i think it is important and why political spectrum is represented here and i see no problem that it is financed 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 and all the students themselves see any reason why they should change any time soon but while the name continues to be mentioned in trembling tones by those in power the group may find themselves coming more scrutiny. within 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 of these statements are sincere now 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 people split over whether such messaging is necessary and all.

this while black americans sit out to make. a political commentator anthony bryan logan believes that companies are only looking out for their own 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 my company direction they don't want to get their stories they don't want to have a negative reputation so don't go out there and say thing as 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 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 is no reason to pick. facebook is being accused of illegally harvesting the facial recognition data of its instagram users a class action against the social media giant could cost the company up to half a trillion dollars once facebook captures this 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 of their quite notices or 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 therefore means the total fine could potentially reach 500000000000. last month facebook offered to pay 650000000 to settle a similar case when the company was accused of illegally collecting biometric data through a photo tagging tool however it maintains its facial recognition software is 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 believes if facebook really is quite the biometric data there could be huge representations 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 show or we don't know the extent to which it used and how many uses to a large extent the you know being used here is the one in illinois which is the strictest biometrics security or privacy law anywhere in the world and has been brought on behalf of us users which are a significant proportion of the banks to facebook is telling facial recognition software without any form of consent then this is of real abuse and i could be take really damaging because if it then loses the or fails to protect it as it has done with other instances then all of the people it's collective pleasure information from could be vulnerable to identity theft to the rest of the leaps but does it for me i will be back with headlines in about 33 minutes and 15 seconds this is art international glad to have you with.
