her daughter. at the government's treatment of medical workers. a long time medical personnel have. been hearing. stories from the past 7 days on running up to the moment of elements as well this is the weekly on r.t. international hello and welcome. british police have confirmed that a deadly knife attack in a park in southern england the evening is being treated terrorism 3 people were killed in the incident in reading which is located around 60 kilometers west of london here's r t shut the edwards dusty with what's known so far. 25 year old man from reading last night was arrested at the scene around 7 o'clock local time which also left 3

people seriously injured now the british media and press are widely reporting that the 25 year old man is believed to be of a libyan descent though that's partly unconfirmed at this stage by any officials however one of the patients that was meant to tear hospital in the initial stage after those stoppings has now been discharged and another remains in stable condition but is currently under observation the counterterrorism piece has now taken over the investigation from the thames valley police meaning that they have to tell an incident. now being seriously ramped up to the highest level now the head of the u.k. counterterrorism piece neil basso he said the suspect ran into for the park in the writing area and attacked members of the public with a knife however the police have no 'd reason to believe that he was acting with anybody else i can form. that this was declared a terrorist. as a result of this investigation. we're clear that it was not associated in any way

with the black lives matter protest which took place peacefully. there is no specific intelligence to suggest attending credit places is at risk but i would ask the public please continue with your lives. when you are out in public now around 40 witnesses have come forward assisting the peace in their lines of investigation at this point it's also understood that place has carried out an operation in the block of flats where the suspect is believed to have lived allegedly neighbors have even heard a controlled explosion in the premises now the total number of injured is unconfirmed indicating there could be a few more injuries today though we have a comment from boris johnson the prime minister he says he's appalled and sickened by the attack and that lessons need to be learned one of the obviously is the matter of security obviously the. i did kingdom is in the elementary stages of lifting the lockdown procedures head due to the corona virus and many people are

taking to hanging out in parks during the lockdown is no where else is open pubs bars restaurants they all remain closed at this point so parks all run fortunately not surveyed they're not let most of them don't even have any security and last night's events have really shaken the public in that matter. it sounds very tragic it's the kind of thing that's happening and maybe. take you. so. loud the mayor of writing has announced a minute's silence is to be held tomorrow at 10 o'clock and the long running behind closed doors due to of course social distancing measures that are put in place due to the knock down boris johnson by himself the prime minister is now in contact with the police need in the investigation early today though he did meet with security officials place and senior ministers at downing street all of this later this latest incident is hiding decorative other incidents across the united kingdom

because as we know britain has been home to terror incidents in previous years. well former london police detective peter kirk commended the response in reading both cities they're likely to be working with fewer resources there are the un forces and the big cities. it's something that's been of concern for some time is

that whilst the response to terrorist incidents in places like central london are central manchester is often held up as being fantastic and really quick and lots of officers and their rapidly brought to a conclusion that wouldn't be the case in smaller cities and towns throughout the u.k. the police in those areas they have far fewer resources there are far fewer officers cover for covering far larger areas and so by definition the response to an incident is going to be slower there's going to be fewer officers getting to the scene in this particular instance it seems like the attacker heard. a number of people in the park and then made his way out of the park and was arrested by officers arriving at the scene a short time later so it was brought to a rapid conclusion in any event. let's turn tension to germany where a night of rioting has left the south western city of stuck guard

a picture of turmoil really several police officers were injured as the authorities tried to get a grip on the situation which they described as quote totally out of control it's believed the riot broke to the officers conducting random checks in the city center related to a drug bust shops were broken into cars smersh think looting police vehicles germany's federal relief team has been called in to assist with a clean up operation they start guard police confirmed 20 people were arrested in the chaos. moving across the atlantic now seattle police free occupation protests saw a shooting overnight one man is dead and another injured officers say they had trouble trying to get into the area and got a violent reaction from the crowd the initial shots were fired in a park in this so-called autonomous zone.

the suspect or suspects are still at large seattle police retreated from the zone after protesters started throwing projectiles causing officers to use crowd control weapons the capitol hill organize protests or child also known as cho's been occupying a district in central seattle for 2 weeks not present from the protesters during a campaign rally on saturday his 1st day on demick you're having this to say. and i have an awful rather say that each time you one will come in wall street did in one hour or less i know i may be wrong. what is probably better for us to just watch that is just. earlier in the week this

video began circulating online showing a protester apart and clean handing out assault rifles to minors which is illegal in washington state activists not book since he walked us through the zone a few days ago he left after the deadly shooting but this was his initial take. when was the last time that you student 2 cities at once to my right is the city of seattle but typically dreary monday afternoon to. the capitol hill what's hot in the so is now becoming that is. currently standing outside of the police department's precinct which has been abandoned now after a series of protests that devolved into riots the seattle police department decided to be prudent to actually leave the station and so this is become the kind of epicenter for for child. the capitol hill autonomous this absolutely beautiful

mural of the recent black lives of have been lost in these protests this is the. presidency of the siege is over to go down at cal anderson park right now which has become sort of a living center for the capitol hill autonomy and you can see in the distance quite a few tents and people have been setting up and kind of creating slowly over the last couple days a living community people are going to come here. and like testing our protest we need some sort of protection. whether that be guns or whether that be your voices we need that. kind of. so are you worried about the police coming up in here and trying to bust this out trying to move this thing out. really. for the racism side of the ongoing protests activists have been continuing to take aim of what they say are hurtful reminders

of the slavery era incidents of confederate statues being toppled carried on nationwide throughout the week and even though the president called the situation 8 the scrapes to the country demonstrators say they're going to just plow on regardless. meanwhile in virginia b.l.m. supporters were carrying guns on surrounding the statue of confederate general

robert e. lee to describe their armed patrols are protecting people from the ku klux klan the monument itself has been sprayed with graffiti from top to bottom photos of police brutality victims placed around the statue protesters call the monument a reminder of oppression. the reason why i'm here is because of this statue behind me you know this day she was brought a lot of a lot of her out of the oppression of the people who want to see it now and you have certain confederacy people certain klan people service other people who don't want to see it down they want to keep it up to remind us of the oppression to keep us in the system and when i haven't met this is a day when i haven't been well from statues to the shop shelves another major american consumer brand overhauled its packaging this week to avoid being labeled racially insensitive cream of wheat breakfast partridge became the 4th brand in a 24 hour period to reassess the use of images of black people to sell goods killam

up and looks now at the levels of sincerity that went into about the session. rebellion across america it's very clear u.s. society needs to do something to address its flaws when it comes to issues of racism something must be done so corporate and political elites have decided it's time to change corporate logos and advertising and jim i'm a pancake mix made by pepsi corp is going to be changed more people have flipped over and joe myers and many other and cakes in the world we recognize and origins are based on a racial stereotype while work has been down over the years to update the brand will realize those changes are not enough and was based on the nancy. green a beloved african american storyteller was born in slavery but rose to become a talented entrepreneur in the post civil war years there was something about it

and to my mother the call for angela my mother to be changed has been building on social media for a long time did you know the found in chris wright a white man to get the name after attending the miss osha they black face did you also know he hired former slave nancy grace to be his very much a man where she went around to the bank a sense of people stories of the good ole sad and afterwards they had sent home about surviving her and the feeling of having their very own mammy back laughing matter people. even over this some say it's far from racist to have the image of a black person on a food product list of brands changing their logos is growing.

amid all the protest in public outrage it seems that images symbols and monuments have become the focus of so much public discussion. politicians are eager to make grand gestures for those who wish to we will now kneel for a moment of silence. just a time. purpose to seize and to listen and heal now is the time for racial justice but will this solve the actual issue behind the protests the conditions facing african-americans symbolic gestures that the corporations and some government entities are involved it's not going to be enough. to plan a social stability in the united states in this commentary these are next the issues that go up to millions of people into the streets the government needs to

address institutional racism in the united states it has to address the militarization of the police to demilitarize law enforcement officials the protests are not about images and symbols they're about economic injustice police chokeholds mass incarceration and much more addressing the issues that have spawned decades of racial unrest in the united states would require some very big dramatic shifts the very foundations of u.s. society might need to be altered so why is the media focused on cullen every products it will not an artsy new york. also in the week's big stories in relations in korea the north dramatically blows up a diplomatic outpost and dollars to send troops into the 10 militarized zone the saw it warns its neighbor will pay a price more enough story and more precise moment.

you cannot be both with yeah you're right. you can't argue with nature and it's nature that has to live through this message and some people really knowing in the long term are going to have to. the way they live and conduct business to take into account this new lead vitally important

aspect of our life the need to insist with code at 19 so i think that some changes in a positive direction are going to happen out of our self-interest as a species. without changing. it's in minutes past the hour here in moscow welcome back let's begin in france where nationwide rallies by health care workers saw some ugly scenes on choose the 10s of thousands turned out to remind the government about its pledge to help medical stuff on support hospitals as the day progressed though over the peaceful protests took a darker turn. the

police accused by linda individuals of hijacking a peaceful protest video of a french nurse being injured during her arrest at the rally in paris sparked a furious reaction online a free for read it campaign sprang up in response police say she was detained for throwing projectiles at officers for read it was eventually released from custody but as to in court in september charged with rebellion when police seized her the 52 year old was heard saying she couldn't breathe askin for her usma medication.

yes. i heard everyone applauded medical stuff that's. so you know unavoidable the health of my modern art and health care and what he was doing these 2 months were long time medical personnel have said that they asked the key to him but they're not being heard perhaps you should ask yourself how come a 51 year old woman a mother of 2 who has worked for 20 years in the public service for 20 years as a health care worker and never complain how did she come to. another note on this story to camera operators from r t french were also injured while filming some of the rest when people began throwing stones at police both receive treatment for a medical workers who were at the rally. or when it comes to policing officers in france will still be able to use controversial restraining methods at the start of

the week the government can complete the bombing chokehold after opposition from officer shot of dubinsky story. francis interior minister promised 0 tolerance on racism among the forces a promise that came all the mass protests over allegations of racism and police tell us he unleashed following the death of george floyd giving us free stuff yesterday even. during his speech. that you called method known as the strangulation method will be abandoned and will no longer be taught in police schools it was a method that had its dangers in addition if a police officer has to keep someone on the ground during their arrest they will now be prohibited from leaning on their head or neck protesters hailed asked in this move to ban the chokehold but the reaction from the police was theory unions describe the technique as essential. my colleagues who used the chokehold which we

call the takedown technique don't do it for the fun of it they do it because they're dealing with a very individual who doesn't want to be taken down as unions demand they talk so this is turned out to protest through bringing back handcuffs. on that but i wasn't allowed to intervene in certain neighborhoods because we don't want the young people to rebel so we have to let a certain amount of delinquency go in certain neighborhoods and then we're told that if we control them then we are racist but want to know how do we proceed with individuals who refuse to be arrested under the effect of narcotics alcohol if they take away our working methods there won't be possible anymore it all proved too much for the interior ministry it's now made a u. turn on the chokehold ban suspending it until a so-called alternative can be found now human rights organizations have stepped in . it is unfortunate that interior minister custom there reconsider his decision to

abandon the practice of chalk cauldron the danger of which he himself had recalled when the ban was briefly in place it was announced the french police would start to test stun guns for wide use and there seems to be no backtracking on this as that decision was being taken across the atlantic this happened which is one of . those of the stuff. that was stung so in limited but increasing use in france up almost 70 percent between 2017 and 2019 last year the use of stun guns proved fatal ones while others suffered severe injuries while stun guns or increasingly becoming the weapon of choice of course europe enforced even the police concern use. we must understand that when the police use force

it's because there is someone who doesn't want to obey the law when that certainly has banned from the police must be given a solution and we agree that a stun gun is not the solution. for us is it buckled in a row over whether or not the force is all racist too brutal or just doing their jobs offices all seeing their methods to control friends suspects being severely beefed up just in your past there's a real problem of racism there's a document check principle based on appearance there's a certain cover up of the problems there denial is institutional in nature the republican not exist without the police which means it is necessary to act and it is necessary to act quickly trust in the police in france is necessary condition for national unity as long as hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens are afraid to meet the police. when they go out onto the street this indicates

a serious problem and significant malfunction in our public to. continue with our big stories from the week that was there was a dramatic worsening in korean relations on tuesday the north blew up the only negotiation i post with this sending their heavily strained relationship to it dangerous new low. there have been weeks of the spirit with the saw it which p.r. young blames for a stalled peace talks failing to stop defectors distributing cross border propaganda north korea also later threatened to send troops into the to militarize border and sold all but wiping ally to deal to reduce tensions with the scythe agreed burley 2 years ago. the artillery units deployed the level of the from guard duty to top class comm by due to system through all the front line and will resume all kind of regular military exercises in the areas close to the boundary in

the north actually take such a move it will certainly paid the price for it. well north korea has been complaining in recent weeks that propaganda leaflets helping flowing from the south claiming it's in violation of the reached agreements some defector groups of been sending flyers by balloon across the heavily fortified border the government in the sought has taken police action against the quit saying their activities were not helping efforts to achieve peace and prosperity on the korean peninsula on saturday reports emerged that north korea was going to retaliate with its own leaflets korea specialist. believes pyongyang's ultimate aim though could really be about generating attention much further afield. think it's just because of those leaflets those anti north korea propaganda. which they say that's why they did it but it's highly unlikely that that is the only reason because for them to risk

alienating seoul and really getting back on the bad side of potentially of the united states because of this aggressive act it's very difficult to believe that it's simply because of some fliers that were you know desperate distributed over to the border in north korea so i definitely believe that this is there are a kind of a last he'll marry attempt to really get america's attention which is becoming increasingly difficult with this domestic situation the u.s. now so i think that's why they're resorted to such a aggressive act now they are otherwise maybe wouldn't have done in their eyes they're probably thinking well we tried diplomacy we tried talking to trump we tried sitting down with the south korean president we tried taking the diplomatic peaceful route but well it's not really gotten us anything and we're still being hurt by the sanctions are khana me it's in shambles. everyone's ignoring us

internationally right now and nothing's really going on that's helping us really so we haven't really gotten much out of it something to consider that they might think they might have felt very desperate. you know the story we're closely following here it's r t a lot is the news update for no time next though for another fiza to excel in the worlds apart team another live bait discussion set to get going in moments to join me after that from more on the weekend was this is. some control for a middle. of the night most of our very hardworking people who want to get ahead
