well you. know as to. which your thirst for action. a 2nd weekend of anti racism protests tens of thousands turn out across the united states but have been markedly more peaceful in contrast to the rioting and heavy handed policing earlier in the week. the mayhem or main street some of the early rallies erupted into riots resulting in shops and businesses being ransacked in several states. away from that so we have news stories that shaped the week sweden's loose lockdown the man behind it says it caused too many coronavirus deaths but it was an entirely wrong. and an eco emergency in the russian arctic

a massive fuel spills turned the river red the authorities say they weren't alerted in time. good afternoon from russia live from moscow this sunday the 7th of june welcome to the weekly then with me kevin though in a roundup of the big stories of the day and week just go on. the big story was from america continues to pay from washington to l.a. and from philadelphia to chicago saturday so the united states' big cities filled with protesters against racism and police brutality nearly 2 weeks after the death of george floyd mostly peaceful scenes throughout unlike earlier in the week when the crowds for the full force of riot police and military vehicles patrolled america's streets at least 11 have died during the protests and all 4 former officers present when george floyd was killed will feel. murder charges.

in. coast to coast and from small groups to streets filled with fury that been protests throughout the week in all 50 states the national guard was deployed in at least half of them curfews were imposed in at least 29 locations with demonstrators throughout the week describing continued heavy hounding policing as rioting and

looting spread. from the days that i've been out the only time that violence erupts our aggression is shown is when the police have come out and shown forrest's i was struck and as i was trying to walk away. from the protests they began openly shooting rounds of tear gas rubber bullets into the crowd. there was violence by the police is a call made in the streets of jacksonville they resulted in the necessary use of tear gas we suffered from tear gas and all types of progression and arrests and the ones that i wish were unjustifiable violence was coming from the state from the

police. because they had enough. that they feel that no one cares. this is the only way to lash out at the system. they come from neighborhoods that it's you know economically deprived did you know it's like you know you got to keep me lol you going to. you know basically this system is put nearly on around it the ugly side of the week's rallies forced businesses to take precautions wooden holdings and smashed windows now lined the streets of even the most prestigious shopping districts some looted as went to extreme measures to check this forklift used to rob and sonic's retailer in california. thanks. as or even going further with this security measures to with stuff arming themselves kellam open in the week took us through why the looting risks erupting into something more serious. here is one

thinks of the protests. against police brutality. was not. however by night the protests take a much more violent for. lyndall ism moving and a tax on business owners many see this as an extreme expression of economic inequality obert. by looting bothers people so much more than knowing that across the country black men and women are dying the looting of america has been going on for over 40 is the copra saw the ultra rich though some business owners are even willing to stand with the looters also properties are always can be replace but loss of life so no they're fully upset

with the looting don't think that looting is necessary. but i definitely feel like something needs to be done you know to count up protect everybody says a large scale new day 250 buildings have been damaged in minnesota alone that prompted members of george boyd's family to call her home not destroy stuff. on a 100 they don't know nobody i don't know why i cannot testify as i was stuck telling one of this crew off the. top of. her house enough about the buy once breeds violence is the riots keep going the police response is gone as far as ramming cars and crowds amid this chaos business owners that decided to take their own security into their own hands in the most american way ok ok ok you run my. own you think i'm going to be i would you no no no no no no no you thor

eighty's have been openly suggesting store owners protect themselves with guns and if you try to break into their homes to still. to set fires highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns armed vigilante groups are now patrolling the streets this is a take a neighborhood back here to thank you sir you know we're briefing the press you police and we are all here they are 15 we are protecting our neighborhood. all of this arrested for civil conflict across america. some communities have been very much at all to each other over the street rallies this is a peaceful march in the state of indiana on monday no signs of aggression but the route lined with locals armed with rifles watching really closely as you can see as they pass by it's been happening elsewhere. stay.

right here stance for yeah. these guys are ready rather than playing you know what we're doing here is we're protecting enjoying our neighborhood after the riot started out and south of minneapolis we have a conscious decision while the police were hammering out over there that we were going to come together and protect our buildings here and protect our families and i came out here because it's about damn time. you know guys like me guys that you know would be viewed as just a heavily armed redneck and stuff like that good with fellow citizens regardless of race regardless of whether we were in the same local community or not it's time we stand together this picture was taken outside of russia restaurant in san diego california where locals lined up to defend the premises the owner is among those who felt he needed to be armed in the current circumstances he told me about what it's been like. we experienced heavy looting in the city of san diego it wasn't in our neighborhood but it wasn't neighborhood

a mess of which was pretty close to us just maybe 6 miles outside of the town city limits where you know the the the protests started peacefully and then they started burning buildings i am a low city and it pains me to see this piece which you see. young american young young black lives being lost something stupid like this in the border and the fact that you know people are looking doesn't help because that's that's just my personal experience my personal opinion you know there could be. could be better ways to go about this and then robbing small businesses because these people had nothing to do with it. and there was this in washington d.c. all choose to protest as another generally peaceful rally were forced off the streets with tear gas and stun grenades to clear the way for president trump of a controversial in the end of it photo op outside of church near the white house

later tweeted get tough democrat mayors and governors and all that if the unrest continued do whatever it takes to stop the chaos in recent days our nation has been gripped by professional anarchies violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tiefer and others today i have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the national guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the united states military and quickly solve the problem for them his words didn't go down at all well with several governors who. condemned his remarks as inflammatory and dangerous new and fencing sprang up quickly around the white house on thursday the national guard

also increased its presence veteran u.s. newsman and r.t. host larry king told us the current political leadership is failing to handle the situation. and so saddened overall this because as a nation we seem to have progress and then we take a step back it amazes me the civil wars is over yet we're still racism in america is so saying what we need now is a leader to lead us down trump has no empathy and you've got to have empathy at this time so we need a leader to take us forward without that and the sadness of what you see on the screen in washington blames the governors and it's all blame kicking around is just so damn sad donald trump's threat to send in the military to quell the nationwide protests left some world leaders scratching their heads too after it previously

condemned them for being tough on violence in their own countries the rainy and foreign minister came out swinging a week ago he took a red marker to a 2800 statement from u.s. secretary of state might pump a 0 on protests in iran with key words replaced to fire the criticisms squarely back at washington so how much do i say no is a do is put it play here is a senior correspondent were ghastly of human rights human lives cmon wished cheap nowadays look at what's happening we have police brutality systemic racism inequality riots on top of mass protests on top of an economic crisis on top of a pandemic. brights pale in comparison and that isn't me saying so we can all see it. but.

the. people are dying even killing if the court agrees hundreds have been hurt entire streets looted and torch the structure rage and anger over there on both sides that's hate something that's going to disappear in a week the 1st amendment of the us constitution guarantees people's right to peaceful protest to freedom of speech and to the right of the press to do its thing here's what the police think of that paint balls and rubber bullets a little slap to the face with little concern that they're shooting at a journalist or peaceful protesters and you know what it's not enough trump wants to make an example you've got to arrest people you have to track people you have to put them in jail for 10 years and you'll never see this stuff again you have to

dominate or you'll look like a bunch of jerks but let's be frank police are under huge pressure rioters lingle with the protesters looting and burning in egging everyone else on that they must be dealt with but like these where's the condemnation president tom trump tweeted when the looting starts the shooting starts what did you think when you read that but i have long kept to the self-imposed guidance not to comment on what president trump says appropriate or indeed other world leaders it's not really what my job is that all the journalists so much as trips over in china for example rights groups get an aneurism. the irony is overwhelming just weeks ago washington was preaching to everyone about how sacred protests are the united states is gravely concerned by the deepening political unrest and violence in hong kong including the standoff between protesters and police free iterate or warning about any decision or remnant

elements of the mature regime to use violence to repress press the peaceful democratic transition the iranian people are once again on the streets because of the regime's poor economic management. and instead of the dressing their grievances tehran has responded with violence and by blaming those outside of the country naturally those usually on the receiving end of american lectures have not passed this opportunity to sleep america off. the launch and as a phrase i don't see they take their own country's national security very seriously but for the security of our country especially the situation in hong kong they look to tinted spectacles we have recently seen these kinds of double standards most clearly with the riots in the united states we see how the local authorities have reacted but last year when we had similar riots in hong kong what was their position to the american people their walled has got hurt your

outcry over this state operation there was this standing. to america this year is pursuing violence and bullying to tell me an approach what they don't get is that america is exceptional they've said it plenty of times the congressmen the officials the president most americans thought that included then it never did it's the state that's exceptional those in power the police the military they're exceptional the american people know to them you would just like everybody else. the protests may have police brutality at their core but plenty of videos emerged throughout the week showing officers taking things too far their injuries from tear gas tasers rubber bullets and even vehicles being driven into crowds there now multiple lawsuits investigations them into police conduct in the way

a new york police department vehicle was filmed attempting to drive through a crowd last saturday and this was live streamed on facebook a man pepper sprayed by an officer in michigan before having a tear gas canister fired at him from barely a meter away then the 2 new york police officers who pleaded not guilty to assault after they were filmed aggressively pushing an elderly protester who fell and sustained a head injury in the city of atlanta 2 officers have been sacked after forcibly arresting 2 students despite the tension the chaosium certainty on the streets those who glimmers of light to one protester in california running up to a police officer and given him a home and there were similar scenes like that in kentucky offices in some cities have also been seen and seen this time again symbolically kneeling in solidarity with those protesters. oh. i.

was i was. it took police are going to kneel with the protesters if they're going to. embracing the protesters desk good because the police are human too i served as a police officer myself for 24 years here in washington d.c. and i witnessed police brutality about some of the people that i worked with it's about turn that we have some i would say several into bichon in it because it just makes sense that there should be some federal standards associated with all these behavior in our cities and then our communities. away from us shores have been solidarity demonstrations throughout the week frustrated to argentina while in europe there were large scale rallies in britain italy sweden greece and the netherlands most have been peaceful but some descended into violent clashes to.

thank. me of riot police on the side of the right at least 5 of them right means there is about a few 100 people inside this have it now that this crisis could easily be that the people have entirely the right to say that they cannot accept the idea of the containment crisis but actually it seems it was so open seat to really rile them out i don't think the kool-aid right now as 'd i speak we can see that there's a bit of a scuffle getting you know directions it feels like the police are trying to settle

in and placing closer to try and link up the protesters. to. thank ye. you cannot be both with the yeah you like.

malcolm x. is a hero for many protesters on the streets of america speaking about the media he once said that if you're not careful it could have you hating the people being oppressed and loving the people doing the oppressing but what does that distinction mean in today's usa the. question riots in america here a major cleanup operation is underway in the russian arctic following a massive fuel leak near the city of norilsk there's now a state of emergency after a 20000 tons of diesel seeped into a river in what environmentalists are calling the arctic regions worst of

a catastrophe it's so bad it can be seen from space these satellite images from the russian space agency give you an idea of the extent of the pollution containment device is known as bone barriers are in place to try and stop the fuel reaching the say eventually more than a 1000 tons of diesel have now been recovered but they worry is the cleanup could take years to complete this or it is a furious that they were only alerted to the leak 2 days after it happened. you know what on the list was not there but i'm pretty sure he's right now 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 twitter you also should push through a rescue team intervene very quickly the fuel spill is localized in the barn

a river and the rescuers have already started working intensively to collect i'll be all. the latest is russia's investigative committee have launched 3 investigations note of what happened in the rest of the director of the power plant where that field tank failed. when europe shut down to stem the coronavirus sweden kept going most businesses stayed open you may recall in what was seen at the time from abroad certainly as a risky move but the swedish state epidemiologist behind that started g.e. told a newspaper on wednesday that although it caused too many deaths it doesn't think it was wholly wrong if we were to encounter the same disease with exactly what we know about it today i think we would learn midway between sweden

dude and what the rest of the world would. sweden has suffered more than 4 and a half 1000 deaths of a population of around 10000000 that makes it the most affected of the scandinavian countries the others in forced harsher restrictions the swedish government though says it was ready to take on wider measures against the virus if advised to by the health agency seems resident song so sure a poll out on thursday echoed others suggesting that confidence among swedish citizens in the state's ability to deal with the outbreak has dropped significantly since april another swedish epidemiologist we spoke to thinks his country should have no better we're not only started we better so i know why it didn't matter then because the information asked how to do it better washing their. weight was agree there it was centered in the experiences of other countries around us it was started by normal soon and by that very you know another

country's so you see what's 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 strange and not only student also in other countries but where we are being i think much more unfortunately. europe's internal open borders are still some way off being a 2 way street in the we get talim prime minister angry at austria and greece for maintaining travel restrictions on the telly and citizens calling them discriminatory in totally unacceptable italy reopen its borders to east to dozens on wednesday to try and breathe life into a stalled tourism industry peter all of us be looking at how getting around europe these days isn't as clear at all 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 the announcement though was king to stress this isn't a green light for travel with wild abandon. travel warnings or not travel bans and travel guidelines are not invitations we want to make it clear in our travel guidelines that travelers are urged not to go to the u.k. we're not essential and as long as there is 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 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 are facing a calculated risk knowing also and i say this sincerely that the epidemic logical code may rise again however there are fears the terrorists will skip visits to the

coliseum and gondola rides this year it's early is still reporting dozens of covert $1000.00 cases daily a claim by a well known italian doctor that corona virus 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 the 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 dying from this were so we need to be exceptionally careful not to create a sense that all of my response all dilution has now decided to be less pathogenic nevertheless 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. surest will be able to come too close or not. 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 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. we can go there but we can't go back to france so if we're going to get start there it's not worth it 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 are all over r.t. barely. hear none of the woods yet far from it well as the weekly the way the news panned out these last 7 days as brought to you by us reporting from moscow i'm kevin 0 in watching out international of all of us here have a great rest of this weekend. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. the
