United Arab Emirates sound israel have struck a peace accord the deal brokered by washington will see israel hope to its west bank anik say sometimes the palestinians though arent happy after the israeli Prime Minister said annexation is a completely off the table. Sure im sure there is no change in my plan to implement our sovereignty in today and somalia in full coordination with the United States im committed to it its still on the table. The last palestinian leadership rejects what the United Arab Emirates has done and considers it a betrayal of jerusalem and the palestinian cause nevertheless the scale of more pain now reports some do believe that its another player in the middle east which lies at the true heart of this new accord. 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 Trumps supporters say he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for arranging this but the palestinians arent exactly thrilled with duce new arrangement the deal between United Arab Emirates and israel is a betrayal of the palestinians given the historic. 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 result of 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 were 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 conversations surrounding the deal iran peace between the arabs and the israelis is a romes 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 israels 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 you 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 washingtons most longstanding opponents in the region there is definitely the pattern isnt toward iran and i think the timing is ideal given whats 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 continue to maintain the antagonism that we have. Crohns is ramping up its military presence in the Eastern Mediterranean sea began oil and Gas Exploration in disputed waters paris says its deployment is only a temporary measure but its relations with ankara already strained with more. President matt corn has signalled that the along 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 didnt stop the french president from reinforcing frances military presence in the mediterranean its confirmed paris will send to ref am a fighter jets and the naval frigate laugh i ed 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 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 city unusual these past few days we have seen turkish warships deliver syrian mercenaries to libyan soil and 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 turkeys 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 greeces 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 turkeys president is accused of provoking regional players into taking wrongful steps there is concern that this action by fronts rather than defeating the situation could in fact escalate it challenged even ski r. T. Paris. The massive explosion last week in beirut destroyed much of the city and locals have been left trying to pick up the pieces not just of the shots of buildings but also their lives one Fashion Designer shared his story. Like i was always so happy we were facing the pool we saw it is very artistic and inspiring because its industrially reaching details of how everything is rings look at the destruction the wreckage i dont know how much time it would take to be rebuilt. There are no words to describe it my team and a feeling that we cant but thing going to the life and well no one was hurt believe this building 10 minutes before the blast hit and thank god the most current thats the most important thing. Of the hard work of 20 years was destroyed the mere seconds it was because of this tuesday explosion which went up just across the street. Smaller he says another challenge for us and we can get our hands on funds to rebuild they say there will be compensation but thats not certain and this isnt something we do use to 11 and i hope we can get compensation to rebuild. Thinking of coming up 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. The u. S. Has conducted the largest as a seizure of iranian fill the news was confounding washington by the department of justice the cargo was seized from 4 vessels bound for that as well or. The government announced today that it has successfully executed the seizure order and confiscated the cargo from all 4 vessels totaling approximately 1116000 barrels of petroleum. The news comes just a day after u. S. Central command released video footage claiming to show the iranian navy boarded and briefly sees an oil tanker off the coast of iran the d. O. J. Claimed it was a counter effort by iran to recover some of its last fuel the confiscation of the iranian gasoline headed to vessels venezuela follows a u. S. District court order it stated the cargo was shipped by the Islamic Revolutionary guard which washington we classified as a terrorist group last year as part of its maximum pressure policy on iran lets discuss this further now with professor aside Mohammad Marandi from the university of tehran thank you for joining us on the program its great to see you now the uranium ships were heading to venezuela and a u. S. District court order results in the cargo being seized does that stand up legally. Well 1st of all they werent iranian ships and my understanding is that it wasnt iranian fuel it was probably fuel if it was indeed going to venezuela and it is iranian fuel then it was purchased by businessmen and they were taking it to venezuela on their own so what the americans did was that they stole and this is theft its its and this is i think one of the extraordinary things about the United States today especially under trump that its becoming more crude in the way in which it conducts itself its behaving like an ordinary thief. Pretenses and this socalled internet you know socalled International Law and International Order thats all cast aside and i think thats a sign of weakness and on behalf of the United States but but in any case this is. This would be fuel thats been purchased by private individuals from the iranians because if the iranians wanted to send their own fuel they would use their own ship says they did a couple of months ago the iranian sent 5 ships full of fuel to venezuela with the iranian flag iranian surance iranian ships and there was no problem and the americans did not do anything about it because they knew there would be consequences thats a very interesting twist and that timing is very curious as well this incident comes just before the u. N. Decides whether to extend the arms embargo in iran which was proposed by the u. S. Do you think that could be linked. I think it has more to do with the election in the United States the president ial election and the elections in general in the United States and that trump wants to show himself as strong but again i think what it really does it sure is that it shows the lawlessness of the regime in washington and how petty theyve become in their behavior they just simply behave like pirates they tend 17th century on the high seas they declare whoever they want to be terrorists or outlaws and they steal just like the. You know the gold used to be stolen from ships in in previous centuries and and this sort of behavior is going to have consequences because ultimately while the iranian government does not own the oil but iran will have to punish the United States in order to protect its people who Purchase Iranian Oil is so so that tomorrow the americans dont go after people who do business with iran so i think ultimately the americans are going to have to pay a price and i think the americans are misleading themselves and their their advisers in the United States are misleading them that the iranians will definitely punish the United States but theyll find their own way of punishing the United States when the iranians see that americans have will abide by no rules then that basically means the Erap Roche Ma or any sort of truce with americans and in fact is impossible and the iranians will hit back but in their own way so how do you expect to see the arabian government to respond to this me if then so say what kind of response do you think we can expect from the international community. Well europe is useless the europeans. Of the United States they have become increasingly weakened and pathetic and we see that in venezuela the europeans obey them americans when the americans decide that the government of venezuela is no longer legal then thats what the europeans would do too and when the british you know the british will steal Venezuelan Oil to make ordinary spend as well and suffer at the you know and when their American Government demands it so the iranians know quite well that they have to punish the americans and they cannot depend on anyone else and we have to remember even trump himself admitted that the United States has spent he said this years ago that the United States i think wasted a trillion dollars in this region what how is it wasted the iranians will im sure make sure that the americans which you are facing economic crisis at home and facing a. Depression an economic depression that the americans will be paying much more in this region and something that will make the American Economy suffer more the United States is is paying a heavy price as it is and theyll simply be paying a heavier price in future seismometer and a professor at the university of tehran thanks for your time. Students in germany have been funding the controversial activist group anti far without even knowing it its come to light that part of the 2 wish in fees paid to Cologne University have been going to the group 3 years piece all over porth. The anti fascist Organization Anti far have received a lot of press in 2020 with even the president of the United States chime in in the United States of america will be designating and as a terrorist organization here in germany they havent 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 workers salary and for the departments 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 kate its delicate because while auntie far on demonised here the way they are in the us a report by germanys internal Security Service the beer file has some pretty strong things to say about a k. And the groups its associated with conservative student groups in turn and not happy that they have to contribute to a case without a choice it shouldnt be that every student has to subsidise 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 cape be cut the majority of students who spoke to r. T. Said they had absolutely no problem paying a contribution to our. Ok i dont know how much the payment is but im sure it is not enough and it should be higher i think its good because its important to sort of. Please dealing with many board and social issues and there let you know we ended and improving the overall wellbeing so i think its a good. Story and. I think it does make sense and i think it is important that a wide 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 these are all over. Facebook is being accused of illegally harvesting the facial recognition data of its instagram uses 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 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. Its claimed facebook violated the privacy rights of 100000000. 00 everest 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. 00. 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 talking toll however it maintains its facial Recognition Software is not used on instagram. The suit is baseless instagram doesnt 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. Well privacy activist on Technology Expert bill new believes if facebook really is collecting biometric data that could be here to trip the questions this is to a large extent a claim that is being brought on a speculative basis because we dont know whether instagram used facial Recognition Software for show or we dont 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 and the way around the world and has been brought on balls of us uses which are a significant proportion of the banks facebook is telling facial Recognition Software without any form of consent then this is of real abuse and i could be reporting kelly damaging because it then loses the or fails to protect as it has started other instances then all of the people its collective pleasure information from could be vulnerable to Identity Theft to the rest of the lawyers. Thanks for joining us here on out international went back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines. I dont think.
