was. i was a right way than was a lie thank god the police are frequently 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 deemed 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 she. was a sole. goal 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 up to

date and saying it's really an expression kind of. thanks. black people have every right to burn down a country they built for free the looting fires since councils is nothing compared to what black america has suffered over the past 500 years and so these day the chant eat the rich is catching on it comes from an aerosmith song but many see it as expressing anger about income inequality ok. ok ok extremists are being blamed for the chaos but different political voices are blaming different extremists by adults and vandalism is being led by n t 5 and other radical left wing groups yes 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 they're doing on the dark web and how they're organizing i don't think they thought of themselves the vast majority of them has the way to privacy that they look at they all know who planted a 0 know who the brothers and sisters of the plan are it seems that some are angry at the system altogether i don't think that anybody else is considering. to take the group because you. can see the leaders it laid it out in. a way that i think this is not about one cop and one tragedy this is about the structure of u.s. society one murder charge is not going to change anything it would mop an artsy new york. the thoughts of kill up and well r t america's rick sanchez discuss the possible systematic reasons behind police

abuses with american economist richard wolfe. 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. 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 should i believe now fundamentally economically what they the other ways this is going to 2 weeks we have serious problems in this country they're not being addressed they're being. because we don't have the money going where it needs the rich get richer everybody else is worried that you're leaving a little list. that's how empires die naturally external it from. inside we are in that position.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

60 minutes into the program welcome back the russian arctic city of risk is in a state of emergency for a muscle fuel leak 20000 tons of diesel have seeped into a river in what environmentalists are calling the arctic regions worst ever catastrophe the authorities say they were only alerted to the leak 2 days after it happened. on the list. 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 you simply said your socialist a rescue team intervenes very quickly the fuel spill is localizing them by now river and the rescuers have already started working intensively to collect up the oil. russia's investigative committee has launched 3 investigations into what happened it's detained an employee of the power station where the fuel tank field. when europe shut down to stem coronavirus sweden kept going no the scientists behind the strategy thinks it perhaps should have been tougher most businesses

stayed open in what was seen from abroad as a risky move although the swedish state epidemiologist sees it caused too many deaths he doesn't think it was wholly wrong. to encounter the same disease with exactly what we know about. the wounded. or sweden has suffered more than 4 and a half 1000 dead side of a population of around 10000000 not mix the most affected of the scandinavian countries the others in forced harsher restrictions. well the swedish government though sees it was ready to take on wider measures against the virus if advised to by the health agency residents aren't so sure though our poll today echoes other suggesting that confidence among swedish citizens in the state's ability to deal with the outbreak has dropped significantly since april plenty of experts who've

moved there are those seem to have enough to they're planning to pack up and shipped out as soon as they can let's in fact speak to one of them even a punter racy who relocated to sweden 2 years ago after growing up in italy eva good to see you how safe have you felt in sweden tell us during the break. hello everyone from sweden yes that's a good question and we were pretty sane before of course the arrival of kuwait 19 and now unfortunately we don't feel so safe anymore really everything is open and you're just sad you know didn't close then thing and now it's probably too late in fact i think the main problem is that there is really just only recommendations and many people especially younger people they really don't think it's an important thing to do now we don't feel so safe right now what you have felt even do you

think any different had you stayed in italy which was struck of course so severely by the outbreak. as a very good question so i had off course on my family and friends that i need to leave and they have had a severe lockdown as you know and so it's really a very frustrating to see how this frenzy can be for the same disease and actually i think i would have felt for sure a little bit safer in needs of the probably also the demographic is a little bit different you know 60000000 people compared to 10000000 people here in sweden i understand that probably not all the lockdown would be possible but at the same time i think like a logical he would have been much better or at least have one month's knock down at the beginning if you would then before it was really your dream you wanted to move back to sweden for quite some time didn't you you did the know you want to to leave what's the main reason for that. yes it does a very good question and so my mom is swedish

a group you know really very nice imagist we don't anyone actually like this here especially when you have 2 children and husband and i'm a working mom so there's a lot of respect when you work and you have family so it's really it was really a power that isn't then called me the arriving every march here and actually everything changes into our mine a lot. back as i'm not feeling safe anymore and we are really thinking of moving out of speed then especially if we consider the nordic countries around the they have all the safety and different cultures present and if i think about denmark norway or phil and that's where i would have liked the right now even just some of the swedish health care system which i'm sure you've had experience of how has it acted how has it responded in your experience i think it was very slow in the sounds and we had some issues in my family so my husband is a person

a tree he had 2 severe pneumonia in less than one year in a day and i'm not saying that it was really just struggled to finally get to a doctor here or differently from it's been in the wrong and where i've been living you cannot go directly to a doctor you need to go to an out and then talk to a nurse and then the nurse will decide if you can get to a doctor and then once you get to the doctor it's always a different doc no you're already the knowledge you know you've been what are your issues you had to explain again and again as i was quite surprised because i thought sweden had a very very good health and actually we did get a good treatment i think through at least 2 or 3 days under the act. it would be or even thanks very much for coming on the program and sharing your view very enlightening eve upon a racy who relocated to sweden 2 years ago after growing up in italy the thanks

thank you. now europe's internal open borders are still some way off being a 2 way street the italian prime minister is angry at austria and greece for men taming travel restrictions on the telly and citizens calling them the scrim a notorious totally on except a poll at least reopened its borders to e.u. citizens to try and breathe life into its stall tourism industry peter all of her has been looking at getting around europe business 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 italy 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 curb may rise again however there are fears the tourists will skip visits to the coliseum and gondola 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 coronavirus is losing potency so the world health organization stepped in with international experts warning against a false sense of security you know the reality 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.

he sure is will be able to consequence or not safely 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 open to accepting 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 lead 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. well time for a look back now at what is currently a very timely issue police violence and their relationship to each other our documentary wants appollo crime gets going in moment sit tight this is our team.

we go to work so you straight home. know what's a clip of she will know you sleep. on the my it's always at the back i was sober but who more was on the late. but you need didn't you think you needed. to put us that wouldn't get the clintons up. to it than to get through to the. city they rather take yes. the. yes buck.

seems wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any you get to shape out these days comes to educate and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. unbelievable. shocking. this is not a video game the average us citizen is over 10 times more likely to be killed by a police officer than by a terrorist. after

witnessing a wave of police brutality that he has which appear on my news feed every day i decided to investigate the problem of police brutality in america. and united states police kill stupid people every day adds up one day and. these are the official numbers according to unofficial numbers the police chose for people the day. the killing of people in this country has become a routine something normal it seems that human life is seizing to be the most valued human right 12. and just like that person is dead. eliot we're in minneapolis minnesota this is a quiet and a fairly small city in northern united.
