Thanks for joining us in r. T. International tonight im Daniel Hawkins welcomes the program. But a russian leader has ordered the case of every person arrested during mass detentions to be investigated with already has claimed more than a 1000 people have already been released meanwhile tensions in the better our capital minutes continue to soar people have once again been converging on the city center this all comes in the wake of sundays disputed president ial election which as promised the country into chaos corresponding reports from the heart of the capital. This is just the way this was only its quite difficult to describe whats going on in victory square in minsk on the square there are women with families in its you can see the women dressed in white with flowers in the hands remaining independents and when you cars and buses which are passing by their homes in support of what they call the solidarity actions the solidarity is against annoyance and the brunt police and all the recent developments. Here are mainly women passing cars honking i do not know this girl this why are you here because i am here to stand up for Fair Elections in this country and this action is also against violence isnt it great i guess all these ideas are being championed here and i got it thank you. And this is whats going on almost across the entire city center in some places women are arriving spontaneously and others theyre moving from one spot to another what youre seeing these 2 girls were found was it just passed by this is how the center of minsk is looking. Because moving extremely slowly literally in 1st gear all the drivers are honking their horns and waving their arms there are lots of flowers said to me is whats your something unimaginable is going on in the center of minsk this is the way the people are driving the women is standing along independence avenue well Something Like that. Across the country people have been forming human chains in a show of solidarity with the protesters some of even embarked on a Charm Offensive by giving flowers to Police Actually workers though are taking a more direct approach with some downing tolls and walking out on strike while voicing their demands. Meanwhile as we reported earlier in minsk identified armed men entered 2 offices of the russian. Company later released the statement saying the group claimed to be members of the criminal and corruption state office who were conducting a search nothing was seized the reason for the raid though was not disclosed our president lukashenko has all but russians have known for 26 years this is the 1st time though his grip on power appears to be slipping at all quarter reports. 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 look at shank oh hes held the position for decades. The loser who shot the russians have to hold on to look even in the most critical situation is a drowning man who catches the straw that you just took my racing to be 90 percent tomorrow it will be with you like we all know it is no not for you to decide for. Themselves i envy myself i see i am the last and only dictator in europe. Im 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. 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 involved the dismissal of bellerose his agricultural minister after the ministers cows failed to gain lucas shank those approval. Why did you bring me here so why now tell the Security Service to put you in handcuffs if a person does not understand that this is auschwitz and you put him in charge of the holding 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 we. In europe its been a popular stance for years but now look at those image is facing some big problems. Sure look at shank oh 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 lucas shank goes recent anti russia statements alley and made it his main base of support those who want closer cooperation with belarus his eastern neighbor we need to address the Russian Media reduce them not to say you know incidents if you would you need to get into the situation with dignity no gilsey good we have no gold to discredit the country clues to us arresting russian journalists didnt help the situation either. For 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 the president of the scientific mrs senter you know slavery munchak says the 4th day of protest symbiosis went by call me but the overall agenda of people hasnt changed. Those tweets said peace poor people are the joy in their hope but their gender change the last drop that broke the camels back was the mass joining the problem is the state enterprises dozens of different big commercial entities joined the protest saying that we demand not perks from the government we need we need for elections to look at himself in the position when he did not deliver on any dialogue with any meaningful social group and the way that election commissioners deliberate fraud and election and vote now definitely ignited that kind of protest and anger because nobody believes in bell or the location got 80 percent of. The Palestine Administration as the mouse the peace deal between israel and the United Arab Emirates accusing the latter of betrayal the accord which was struck with help of the United States will see israel halt its west bank an exception plant as a result of this diplomatic breakthrough and at the request of President Trump with the support of the United Arab Emirates his real will suspend declaring sovereignty and the areas outlined in the prisons vision for peace and its now an expanding ties with other countries in the arab and muslim world. Or Historic Deal is the result of lengthy negotiations its the 1st step to normalizing relations between the countries which also plan to open embassies what actual agreements are expected to be signed in the coming weeks covering business tourism direct flights security and other issues however in his speech regarding the deal Prime Minister netanyahu said hes not giving up on an accession plans but said he would pursue them without washington support under the us israeli peace plan for the region outlined back in january an explosion was supposed to begin last month we got reaction to the new deal. Its historic this is a culmination of long relations that have grown steadily and very positively between israel and the United Arab Emirates what we see here is a chance for israel and arab neighbors across the region to build Economic Prosperity peace and and positivity for the whole region and the palestinians again are choosing to put themselves outside of that their choosing rather than to say yes and we can work forward for a Better Future they are choosing to reject that and its just not a surprise its very sad i think for the Palestinian People the message here is clear israel will continue to build a Better Future for the region and the palestinians need to understand that history will not wait for them. Should be sure this statement it is a very harsh statement against united there but its accused them of the betrayal of the police of jerusalem of the Palestinian People and the palestinian cause by doing this in this agreement with. Me as well as to get used to the. United arab emirates and. Claiming that they support the bill. But. They are not doing it to the palestinian leadership was facing a very difficult. Because israel is going for freezing the delivery of the palestinian taxes theyre not doing anything to practically to support the bill as the. Emergency teams working to contain a Major Oil Spill off the coast of say the situation is finally under control helicopters have been airlifting oil from astride a cargo ship ran aground on a coral reef at the end of last month had been carrying almost 4000. 00 tons of oil almost all the fuel on board though has now been removed had been fears the vessel would break apart teams construct barriers to try to contain the spillage but while it did leak posed a serious risk to an environmentally sensitive area leading authorities to declare a state of emergency. Oh joe biden is hoping his choice of kemal harris as a running mate will give his campaign what it needs to unseat donald trump from the white house it seems that everyone shares that enthusiasm particular considering his past years kayleigh more pain with more. From rival to running mate joe biden is hoping that terrorists 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 comma 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 we are in a battle for the soul of this nation and that safeway 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. Harbored. So joe biden has selected kamel harris as his Vice President ial running mate and with her joy. Macon and indian roots she is the 1st woman of color to be selected by a major u. S. 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 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 did it. With a long time ago. At a time when police are not necessarily the most loved among rank and file democrats a certain catchphrases 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 karl harris in november and got pretty Big Questions you know what martin artsy new york. Is growing support around the world for a ban on socalled killer robots a report from Human Rights Watch says 30 countries want to global treaty against their technology rational sharky from the campaign to stop killer robots says it must be humans and not machines making decisions on model field we want to see meaningful human control over all Weapons Systems for every strike and all the words theres always a person whos a kind of bull whos watching that weapon and will decide in the end will we used this weapon to kill this target is this an appropriate target we dont want to weapon and so on driven by a computer and the computer to make that final decision this targets ok because under the laws of war if youre indicted to better target if theres any diet whatsoever dont only thought autonomous weapons are able to operate in the air water and even in Space Program to identify and engage targets humans theyll give the order to attack at present though they can be programmed to make the decision themselves are some countries though see the benefit of having such technology on war zones or the u. S. Arms control association so their weapons offer opportunities in combat its cheap work 247 and dont tire on the front line it could reduce casualties professor sharkey says the risk to civilian lives isnt being taken into account. You must above all d protect civilians regardless of what country they are 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 protection of civilians i can see no way that these weapons can comply comply with International Humanitarian law i dont think that they can comply with the laws of war or at least we cant guarantee their compliance i dont think they can appropriately discriminate between military and civilian targets and i dont think they can be proportionate in response to attacks. And one must protest the governor as a commission our correspondent brings the latest from beirut that in a few moments. One else will seem wrong. Roles just dont call. Me all the yet to see how this day becomes active. And engaged equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have. Let it be an arms race. Dramatic. Very. Back to the program huge explosion in beirut last week left much of the city in ruins and also knocked out many of its hospitals with so many people injured in the blast thats only adding to the difficulties there are 3 major hospitals are out of action leaving the ones still functioning completely overwhelmed but International Help has been flooding. Has been finding out. Were about 7 kilometers outside of the 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 the lebanese colleagues have just finished administering and his teacher 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 walls syria palestine indonesia new media just some of the places where theyve been saving lives here in lebanon and the groups worked alongside local doctors in more than 200 cases but some of the most difficult procedures like the one we saw earlier they have been taking on themselves or the open 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 say Russian Cultural Center because at that moment. Because you know. We have a crisis the explosion that. Happened and we need every every help we can get from anyone
