Meanwhile the batteries office of the Russian Internet giant was and today by armed men said to be part of the better Russian Security forces its also being reported to the minsk office the Online Taxi Service so you above which is owned by you and banks was off so i rated with more details on that his woman cos that.

Earlier that everyone at the minsk office has been working remotely since march and the only people at the premises Border Security and the person on duty now Russian Diplomats and men skaar waiting for answers from the dollar russian authorities as to why this Russian Company was searched and what was the reason behind such action now elsewhere Russian Foreign ministry issued a statement regarding the situation in the roost and the now they noted the d external pressure on the authorities in order to destabilize the country even further than it is now they added that attempts to fly into a russian trail in this are completely groundless and just like the attempts to drive a wedge in the relationship between the other 2 countries now you were talking about protests earlier workers at a truck manufacturer have been striking and sing their anger at the actions of lawyers for some of the good. The protesters and against. The results of the election now theyve been heard by the mayor of the town and he actually came out to speak with them and lets take a look at what happened. Good morning. No no its not. Like youre not sure if you disagree you got to. Do you. Now theres more video where the mayor said that so he will meet with all of the people again this thursday evening and he said this i mean it will be without the police without loudspeakers and it will all be done the peacefully after he said those words to the crowd chanted that the mayor is with the people now also alluded to talking extensively about journalists who were detained during mass rallies in. A Russian Association of journalists are saying at least 64 people have been detained now a russian journalists unionists also saying that so many russian journalists have been detained as well some of them have been already deported theyre back whole in russia however until this morning freelancers working for art sees iraq live video agency were still unaccounted for how they were detained on sunday right as soon as the polls opened the roost and we only received a message from them at 830 saying that they were detained and we havent heard them from from them in days now on wednesday we received word from a stranger who was also that saint on sunday but released later this time it looks like all of a free lancers have been released and they all rejoined their loved ones now the interior minister bill or ruse claims that there was reporters with the proper papers should not be touched unless they get in between the protesters and Law Enforcement present because shank i was told by the russians have actually known for the last 26 years but this is the 1st time his grip on power does appear to be slipping with all his dont quote. 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 who can show the straw that you just took my racing to be 90 percent to the rupee it will be with you like we all know it is not for you to decide for. Themselves i envy myself but i am the last and only dictator in europe. Im not going to hold this position for a lifetime this 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 belarus as agricultural minister after the ministers cows failed to gain lucas shank those approval. What did you bring me here so why now tell the Security Service to put you in handcuffs if the 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 kobach up 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 and to russia statements alley unaided 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 will see 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 dont call to that will director of the Minsk Dialogue Council on International Relations does believe we have now reached a critical moment. But we have at the moment is partially the result of several really big mistakes is government government made over the last years but most particularly the way the government really the Coronavirus Crisis is this situation has us collate to very very dangerous level boarding just seeing seems to point to that where soon approaching a critical point where its either going to be kind of military or state of emergency wired and that will be the only way for the government to deal with the situation or. New negotiations should be against. Joe biden is hoping his choice of kemal harriss his running mates will give his campaign what it needs to unseat donald trump from the white house but it does seem to not everybody shares that enthusiasm particularly considering how risky is passed with more his kind of more pay. 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. Heart. So joe biden has selected convalesce 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 courts ordered her to do so as san franciscos District Attorney she secured the conviction of over 1900 people versed moping 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 handle. It 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 published an autobiography that presents herself and her career as a prosecutor as if she was fighting against racism on behalf of the down for out but some people just arent buying it i watched 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 Carmel Harris in november have got pretty Big Questions here with martin r. T. New york. The huge explosion in beirut last week not only left much of the city in ruins it also knocked out many of its hospitals and with so many people injured in the blast saying that 70 added to the difficulties there are 3 major hospitals are out of action at the moment leaving the one still functioning completely overwhelmed but International Help has been flooding in is he was a town of has been finding it. Were about 7 kilometers outside of the routes 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 a ministry 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 seen being lives here in lebanon. The groups worked alongside local doctors in more than 200. 00 cases but some of the most difficult procedures like the one we saw earlier they have been taking on themselves or the board is the most difficult surgeries that our team carried out here with the severe cranial traumas and face skull fractures one patient had their 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 one by larry says that being deployed to trouble sports 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 Russian Humanitarian Mission we thank them a lot for this generosity and we want to thank Russian Cultural Center because at that moment for the because you know nowadays. We have a crisis explosion that. Happened and we need every every help we can get from anyone many injuries like this required 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 it was done from lebanon r. T. Emergency teams working to contain a Major Oil Spill off the coast of the rishis say the situation is now finally under control helicopters have been airlifting oil from the stranded cargo ship which did run aground on a coal reef at the end of last month that had been carrying almost 4000. 00 tons of oil well almost all of the fuel there on board has been removed there had been fears the vessel would break apart and seems to construct berries to try to contain the spillage the oil that did leak posed a serious risk to the environmentally sensitive area eating authorities there to declare a state of emergency. 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 profess no 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 bow whos watching that weapon and will decide in the end will we use this weapon to kill the target is this an appropriate target we dont want a weapon that will go out on the storm 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 go to better target if theres any doubt whatsoever dont well lethal autonomous weapons are able to operate in the air water and even space to you and they are programmed to identify and engage targets humans still give the order to attack at present although they can be programmed to make that decision themselves while some some other countries do see plenty of benefits of having such Technology Operating in war zones u. S. Arms control Association Says that the weapons offer opportunities in combat they are cheap for example work 247 and also dont tire and on the frontline too it could produce casualties but professor sharkey again says the risk to civilian lives is not being 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 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. In gaza a Young Palestinian mans death from a survivable illness has shone a light on treating patients across the border in israel 22 year old jill hour she rafi had been waiting a month for permission to visit the hospital although the request was denied 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 corona virus 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. I had graduated from our Kids University with distinction and had plans to become a teacher at the uns Relief Agency for Palestinian Refugees israeli officials insists though his death was not down 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. Physicians for human rights to say that access Israeli Health care from gaza has been limited after security coordination was halted back in june since then only urgent cases are being processed by in june and july of 195 patients only half of those were actually approved by Israel Family says they were left feeling helpless lost. It was hard not to feel helpless condition was worsening and we couldnt do anything about it we could only give him pain killers he was always happy to see me we used to stay up late in the hospital and have fun and laugh he used to ask me to take him to the beach for a few minutes to cheer him up was a very social person beloved by everyone who wanted to build a house and get married and wanted me to get married to him to become his neighbor he wanted to become a teacher in the un relief and works agency for Palestinian Refugees he even managed to finish his College Education but it wasnt gods will.
