Ok thank you no man from uncle sort of there for the night develops today in better race and presently to shake is all but the russians have known for 26 years but this is the 1st time his grip on power disappear to be sipping on quarter has more. In bellerose having the title go or daddy means youve got the most populist position in the entire post soviet sphere and for the recently reelected president Alexander Lukashenko hes held the position for decades. Who shot a russian some to hold on to look to even in the most critical situation is a tremendous man to catch a stroll that you just took my racing to be 90 percent tomorrow paid will be with you like we all know it is no not for you to decide for. Themselves i envy myself but i am the last and i dont need to tell you youre. Not going to hold this position for a lifetime as soon as the people refuse my services ill take my bag under my arm and im going. On board 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 most recent populist stunts involve the dismissal of bellerose his agricultural minister after the ministers cows failed to gain lucas shank was approval. When did you bring me here so i now tell the Security Service to put you in handcuffs was a person does not understand that this is auschwitz and you put him in charge of the Holding People who 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 its also the main reason why they call the shank obama for many baka is also a strong man who created an enclave of the soviet union. Within europe its been a popular stance for years but now look at those image is facing some big problems. Sure look i shant go 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 countrys view of the government is definitely turning sour. That its possible locus 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 Media reduce them not to say you know incidents if you would see you need to get into the situation with dignity you know youll see good we have no gold to discredit the country clues to us arresting russian journalists didnt help the situation either. To the west hes always been europes last dictator even look at shankar 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 and of course reporting melody yeah director of the Minsk Dialogue Council on International Relations police weve reached a critical moment. What we have at the moment is partially the result of several really big mistakes is government government made over the last years but most are take only the way the government trivia of the coronavirus cries says this situation has us collate to a very very dangerous level and there are courting interesting seems to point to that in where soon approaching a critical point where its either going to be out of military or state of emergency what the required and that will be the only way for the government to deal with the situation or. New negotiations should be against. Joe bidens hoping his choice of come out of harris has running mates will give his campaign what it needs to unseat donald trump from the white house but it does seem to say what everybody shares that enthusiasm particularly considering his past is calum often with will. From rival to running mate joe biden is hoping that harris 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 comment to 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 were in a battle for the soul of this nation and that say if were going to get through these crises we need to come together a new night for a better america come and i gets that but unity it seems is not the word on every democrats lips. Lets 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. So joe biden has selected kamel a harris as he is Vice President ial running mate and with her jamaican and indian roots she is the 1st woman of color to be selected by a major us Political Party as a Vice President ial candidate this may sound like a smart move generating enthusiasm among the democrats base among africanamericans however the holes are suggesting otherwise we protest build more schools less jails put the money into education our prisons. Theres 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 gleeful about doing so she even took the move of jailing parents of children who were truant from school as californias attorney general Camila Harris fought against moves to release nonviolent offenders even after the Court Ordered her to do so as san franciscos District Attorney she secured the conviction of over 1900 people 1st moken marijuana these folks got a life long criminal records and often jail time however she then joked about the fact that shes a pot smoker herself have you all smoked i have ok again i had to and i have my name and i didnt have a good. Day 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. Kamel harris has done a lot in recent months to try and clean up her image shes gone to Police Brutality protests to shake hands and take photos shes 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 arent buying it i watch a poll numbers go bomb bomb bomb 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 as finally joined a major president ial ticket in the United States. But many of the people expected to vote for carl errors in november have got pretty Big Questions you know what martin art see new york. The huge explosion in beirut last week not only left much of this city in ruins it also knocked out many of its hospitals and with so many people injured in the blast that is only adding to the difficulties there were 3 major hospitals are out of action leaving the one still functioning completely overwhelmed but International Help has been flooding in and she was done of has been finding it. Were about 7 kilometers outside of be roots 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. So russian surgeons with the help of a lebanese colleagues have just finished administering and is teaching here and have begun the surgery im 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 that doctors here are dealing with right now also she has a severe head trauma. Is leading the medical team overseeing the surgery they have decades of experience between them specializing in treating the injured from natural disasters and was syria palestine indonesia new media just some of the places where theyve been saving lives here in lebanon the groups worked alongside local doctors who moved in 200 cases but some of the most difficult procedures like the one we saw earlier they have been taking on themselves or the local centerboard is 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 russias official aid agency Russell Trood and just up by larry says that being deployed to trouble spots can sometimes take up to a couple of weeks this time it only took around 24 hours a remarkable difference and a swiftness thats 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 a lot for this generosity and we want to call for the Russian Cultural Center because at that moment for the because you know nowadays. We have a crisis with the explosions that to 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 everythings going well broken bones are reset stitches are applied the start of a healing process for a girl whos seen more than enough trauma in her young life because diana from lebanon r t. Now there is growing support around the world for a ban on socalled killer robots a report from Human Rights Watch does say that 30 countries want a global treaty against the Technology Professor now sharky from the campaign to stop killer robots says it must be humans are not machines making decisions on the battlefields we want to see meaningful human control over all Weapons Systems for every strike another words theres always a person whos a kind of bull whos watching that weapon and will decide in the end will we use this weapon to kill this target is this an appropriate target we dont want a weapon or go right 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 youre in day to better target if theres any type whatsoever dont. Well lethal autonomous weapons are able to operate in the air water and even space they are programmed to identify and gauge targets humans still give the orders to attack at present although they can be programmed to make the decision themselves some countries do see the benefits of having such technology in war zones the u. S. Arms control Association Says that the weapons offer opportunities in combat they say that they are cheap work 247 and dont tire and on the frontline could reduce casualties too but professor sharkey says the risk to civilian lives has not been taken into account you must above all protect civilians regardless of what country theyre from whether they belong to your enemy or anything else i know its often flaunted but that is standard classic stuff you must always ensure the protection of civilians can see no way that these weapons can comply comply with International Humanitarian law by dont think they can comply with the laws of war or at least we cant guarantee their compliance i dont think they can appropriately to scrutineer between military and civilian targets and i dont think they can be proportionate in response to attacks. Gars or a Young Palestinian mans death from a survivable illness has shone a light on treating patients across the border in israel 22 year old you allow sure affy had been waiting a month for permission to visit the hospital the request was denied and else father told us about his sons last few weeks. Condition was discovered in mid january we noticed his face was turning yellow we hospitalized him 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 wasnt 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 these delays played a key role in his death. Had dragged away to from university with distinction and have plans to become a teacher the uns Relief Agency for Palestinian Refugees israeli officials insist though his death was not done to them. 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 63 new request was received to coordinate the patients exit foreign ambulance after his health deteriorated due to suspension 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.
