Are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is r. T. International im 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 u. S. Supported the draft while russia and china voted against and the other members including the u. K. And 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 Irans Nuclear program parties reports. 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 heres some of what we heard. I call upon all Security 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 fakery to responsibility on which the United Nations was created now prior to the vote in which this resolution failed mike taylor 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 were deeply aware that snapback is an option thats available to them that it sticks and were going to do everything within americas power to ensure that that arms embargo is extended and im 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back of the sanctions however lets remember that it was not iran that violated the agreement and the agreement was not withdrawn from by iran it was the United States that pulled out of the agreement so u. N. Lawyers are going to have to look into the legality of the United States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 im not violating my camp they are says however it doesnt really seem to be a 1000 nuclear deal anymore this is mike pompei on iran must provide full transparent and immediate cooperation with the i. A. E. A. We cant allow the worlds biggest state sponsor 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 centrally put to a vote at that 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 a director of the center for middle east studies professor of middle Eastern Studies at the university of oklahoma as well believes u. S. Steps are part of a Wider Campaign to take control over oil supplies. 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 worlds oil 50 percent of the worlds oil supplies this 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. And i guess thats 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 1st. The easy use that top diplomats have agreed to slap sanctions on belarus over what they claim was the falsified election and the violence during the ensuing protests meanwhile those arrested in ments could during a week of antigovernment demonstrations have started to be released since the outbreak of the Unrest Police have faced allegations of excessive brutality president Alexander Lukashenko said he didnt have a problem with the conduct of the Security Forces although he urged them to take a softer line meanwhile protests continue with the countrys 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 had flowers at the Security Forces after they lay down their shields in an extraordinary move that is after crowds of demonstrators converged on the area striking workers from one of the countrys biggest. Factories the mint tractor works were among them are here from our correspondent on the scene. Which is a serious one the square in minsk something absolutely unique and interesting for better or worse is happening here you can see the special police force no internal forces standing behind me there with the courage in arms thats 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 machinery. Thats the situation knows minsk attractive factory workers arrived here with their banners. And well nothing else is going on. People are chanting slogans let them go.

They would like of course some political changes changes in their law really but in the same time they dont want to. Serve their east most sir and western countries and especially i think germany once to have a negotiation with me hold a moment the sanctions they are talking about are mostly symbolic and not really profound we will see how the situation will will change.

Friends is wrapping up its military presence in the Eastern Mediterranean and this is after turkey began oil and Gas Exploration in disputed waters there paris says its deployment is only a temporary measure but its relations with alcoa are already strained with more heres our. 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 referee and fighter jets and the naval frigate lafayette a move welcomed by the greek Prime Minister i thank 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 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 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 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 now 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 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 charlotte t. V. R. T. Paris. Students in germany have been funding the controversial activist Movement Without even knowing it and has been coming to light that part of the tuition fees paid to Cologne University have been going to the movement for years now which peter oliver 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 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 from 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 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 germanys internal Security Service the beer file has some pretty strong things to say about a cake and the groups its associated with conservative student groups in turn and not so happy that they have to contribute to a case without 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 ante 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 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 them. Is dealing with many board and social issues and then let you know we ended in. Well being i think its a good age see it is so 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 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 know 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 pacer all of it. Within the growth of the black lives Matter Movement following of 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 that these statements were sincere the survey in the us found 7 out of 10 people believe corporate americas antiracism stance is just down to public pressure rather than actual concern and also found 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 own profits. These companies are just trying to be virtuous in the eyes of their consumers and they dont want to have any kind of cancel culture or to cancel my Company Direction they dont want to get your stories they dont want to have a negative reputation so dont go out there and say thing as i always support black labs black cloud matter is all about just p. R. Company relation is just 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 antipolice for loans then it would make sense for them to have this stance now but if youre not that kind of company if theres a company that sells hamburgers ought dogs i mean theres no reason for you to go out there and talk about anything political at all no reason whatsoever there is no reason to pick.

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 citys 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. Privacy act list and Technology Expert bill mewe believes if facebook really is quoting biometric data there could be huge repercussions. 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 a show and we dont know the extent to which it used to now many users to a large extent the you know being used here is the one in illinois which is the strictest biometrics of security or privacy law anywhere in the world and has been brought on balls of us users which are a significant proportion of the banks facebook is telling beisel Recognition Software without any form of consent then this is of real abuse and i could be ripping take only damaging because it then loses the all files to protect it as it has started out for instance its then all of the people its collective pleasure information from could be vulnerable to Identity Theft to the rest of the lips it doesnt for me because ill be back in about 33 minutes with another full look at your news this is r t international.
