accused of targeting minorities but george floyd's death seems to have revitalized the black lives matter movement protesters have defaced monuments to the confederacy and more recent u.s. figures deems to be racist many wonder if it seems like the whole history of the united states is being challenged we've seen white protesters kneeling down as a way of acknowledging their privilege and the history of slavery and colonialism caus he. was told. the. whole of the inequality of today is certainly rooted in the history of slavery segregation and lack of opportunity for african-americans and many people are looking at the leading of today and saying it's rooted in a crashing pound of. thanks

. black people have every right to burn down a country they built for free the looting fires since couples is nothing compared to what black america has suffered over the past 500 years and to these day the chant eat the rich is catching on that comes from an aerosmith song but many see it as expressing anger about income inequality. the. extremists are being blamed for the chaos but different political voices are blaming different extremists violence and vandalism is being led by n t 5 and other radical left wing groups this and i will try and what i'm asking the media to help us on we're going to start releasing who some of these people are and they'll be able to start tracing that that history of where they're at and what

but you have got your back. don't. stop drop rock. videos paint a story start a culture where a lot of the public has been trained and encouraged to not believe play people. rick sanchez discuss the possible systemic reasons behind police abuses with american economists rich and wolf. if you're a hammer everything is a nail that's what's happened to our justice system in america about 30 or 40 years

ago and successively since what we've done is we've militarized our police departments we've militarized our cities for economic reasons and for political reasons we have chosen to put all of our funding all of our money on those people who arrest people rather than those people who helped grow people what it did was it turned us all into cross versus them and it's been going on ever since and everybody you know i know there's obviously a racial disparity in all of this as you said and it does tend to break more toward african-americans who look different but if you really look at it police officers in america out there also versus them that they've developed many of them are good people but they've been put in that situation the way we are now fundamentally economically what they the other ways this is going to weeks we have serious

problems in this country they're not being addressed they're being let because we don't have the money going where it needs the rich get richer everybody else is worried your little list is. that's how empires die not from external it was from. inside i we are in that position. 2008 there was the global financial crisis and the solution was not to reform the bad. system to stop the crisis from repeating again the solution was here's a bigger credit line to the worst banks in america to do the same thing but much

worse and we said we predicted within 10 to 12 years there would be a repeat of the 2008 crisis but much bigger a much bigger scale so that's exactly what's happening now. seem wrong but. just don't call. me. yet to stamp out just the attic and it gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

good morning this is our international news from russia next to the russian arctic city of norilsk is in the state of emergency today after a massive fuel leak 20000 tons of diesel have seeped into a river there and what environmentalist so calling the arctic regions worst ever catastrophe the authorities say there are only alerted to the leak 2 days after it happened we're going to list them. what did the authorities only come to know about this after 2 days and we're now going to find out about emergencies like these from social media are you feeling all right. 'd just on to say you're so sure it was sort of a rescue team intervene very quickly the fuel spill was localized in their own barn

a river and the rescuers have already started working intensively to collect i'll be all. covert now when europe shut down to stem the coronavirus sweden kept going now the scientists though behind that strategy thinks it should perhaps have been tough for most businesses stayed open in what was seen at the time from abroad as a risky move although the swedish state epidemiologist admits it did cause too many deaths he went on to say it wasn't entirely wrong if we were to encounter the same disease with exactly what we know about it today i think we would learn midway between what sweden did and what the rest of the world good. so the swedish

government is promising though to investigate the impact the policy had the country suffered more than 4 and a half 1000 deaths out of a population of around $10000000.00 that makes it the most affected of the scandinavian countries the others enforced harsher restrictions the result of all that now is that it means sweden is being marginalized from scandinavian cooperation as the lockdown zs norway denmark have lifted their mutual travel checks but aren't opening the borders with a neighbor the danish prime minister says it's because the countries are in different places in relation to the pandemic another swedish epidemiologist we spoke to says his country should have known better. when normally started we don't matter so i know why they didn't matter then because the nation asked how to do washington in their. way wasn't really there it was centered the experiences of other countries around us it was started by. student and by that very day and other countries so she was there to do cannot see when we

would not know then i don't. know then you were trying to change for me they were trying to see system just ask you change and not only student also in other countries but where we are being i think much more around fortunately. in the bigger picture on europe the internal borders still some way of being a 2 way street far from it the italian prime minister is angry that austria and greece now for maintaining travel restrictions on italian citizens calling them discriminatory in totally unacceptable it's because italy's reopened its borders to isa distance to try and breathe life into it stalled tourism industry our europe correspondent peter all of a next looks at how getting around europe isn't as clear cut as it used to be. summer is here and it's good news for germans were wondering if they're going to get a sunshine break this year the government here in berlin is lifting warnings against travel to european nations from the middle of this month the foreign minister heiko

mass in making me announcement though was king to stress this isn't a green light for travel with wild abandon. we know that this decision creates hope and expectations but i'd like to stress once again travel warnings are not travel bans and travel guidelines are not invitations we want to make it clear in our travel guidelines that travelers are not to go to the u.k. we're not essential and as long as there's a 14 day quarantine in place getting ahead of everyone else in europe is italy they opened their borders on wednesday the lockdown is brought upon this lead the worst recession since world war 2 and the government is looking to holiday make is to revive the economy prime minister conte says the crowds of travelers they hope will be flocking into the country is a risk italy is willing to take. we're facing a calculated risk knowing also

a most sincerely epidermal logical curve may rise again however there are fears the tourists will skip visits to the coliseum and go on the rides this year it's early is still reporting dozens of covert 19 cases daily and the national dispute rages over the dangers of the virus a claim by a well known italian doctor that corona virus is losing potency the world health organization stepped in with international experts warning against a false sense of security you know the reality of this is a virus practically no longer exists from a clinical standpoint it has got to return to being a normal country because there's evidence we can go back to having a normal life there are still thousands of people every day die from this worse so we need to be exceptionally careful not to create. the sense that all of a sudden the virus by its old felician is no decided to be less pathogenic that is not the case at all never the less the italian foreign minister is doing the rounds

trying to convince everyone that italy is safe for tourists to visit while local mayors are doing their part to try and draw people in to beaches restaurants and cafes that have been empty for too long. it sure is to be able to come too close or not safe and we are ready to reopen with great success we can accommodate many tourists the risk of contracting the virus is extremely low we have to be open to accept people however it seems silly we'll still have to wait for its neighbors to open up as the reopening has already caused some troubles on the border. but we can go there but we can't go back to france so

if we're going to get stuck there it's not worth. what we were forbidden to go back to italy the italians could go back to france with impunity then control without anything now we were told yesterday it could be open today there were problems those european nations that rely heavily on tourism cash are desperate for holiday makers to come to them the question now is how many will be willing to travel while coronavirus continues to infect people peter all over r.t. belin. in other words she as they say well this is not a shot of some of the world's top headlines this thursday the 4th of june reporting from moscow i'm kevin we were online or on social media in the course of the t.v. today as the day progresses so are other anchors or other correspondents and other studios around the world to keep you fully posted for them by may thank you for watching r.t. international.

we go to work. straight home. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one foundation let it be an arms race is on all fronts very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful and very critical thought i am time to sit down and talk.

virtually never great is founded on a rape in a murder. nothing changed so we said all response to these situations that we're dealing with. people get shot every till the day she is this people kill each other blood for killing children. so it was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with this is the reason i have to ride like this is the reason.

you know what's a clip of she will no use to. the new my it's always at the back i was a guy who most of the late. you know. they can. put up. with. yes. yes.
