of the government's treatment of front line workers. longtime medical personnel office. but enough been hearing. stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly on r t international hello and welcome. british police have confirmed of a deadly 1000000 in a park in southern england on saturday evening is being treated as terrorism 3 people were killed in the incident in reading which is located around 60 kilometers west of london one victim just being named as a secondary school teacher here's r t shelley edwards the with what else is new and so far 25 year old man from reading last night was arrested at the scene around 7 o'clock local time which also lacked

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. at this stage by any officials however one of the patients that was meant to tear hospital in the initial stage after their stuffings 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 meaning that the severity level has now been seriously ramped up to the highest level now the head of the u.k. counterterrorism piece he said this suspect ran into the parking area and attacked members of the public with a knife however the police have no reason to believe that he was acting with anybody else i can form. that this was declared a terrorist incident. as a result so. clear that it was not associated in any way with the

protest which took place peacefully earlier on in the day there is no specific intelligence to suggest that attending crowded places is at risk but i would ask the public please continue. when you're 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 in need. to have lived allegedly neighbors have even had 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 got 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 united 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 round 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 the. it sounds very tragic and it's the kind of thing happening on. 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 lockdown boris johnson the prime minister is now in contact with the police need in the investigation earlier today though he did meet with security officials place and senior ministers at downing street obviously though 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 speaking on one of the many aspects to this killing former london police detective peter kirkham commended the response in reading but ses officers there

are likely to be working with fewer resources than forces in the big city. 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 attacked 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 keep attention on europe moved to germany

where a night of rioting has left parts of the southwestern city of stuck guard in turmoil several police officers were injured and the authorities tried to get a grip on the situation which they had described as being totally out of control it's believed the riots broke out to 2 officers conducting random checks in the city center related to a drug bust shops were broken into cars were smashed as well including police vehicles germany's federal relief team has been called in to assess with a clean up operation the stock car police confirmed 20 people were arrested in the chaos. over to the u.s. now where seattle's police pre-occupation protests saw a shooting overnights one man is dead and another injured officer c.b. 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 the so-called autonomy.

the suspect or suspects are still at large seattle police were treated from the protesters started throwing project. to use probably. the capitol hill protest or child chose. a district in central seattle or. president trump real to the protesters during a campaign rally helping to say. and i have an offer out of new 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. earlier in the week this video began circulating online showing a protester

a partly handing out assault rifles to minors which is illegal in washington state activists but since he walked us through this so in 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. the capitol hill. currently standing outside of the police department's precinct which has been abandoned after a series of protests that devolved into riot police department decided to be prudent to actually leave the station and so this is become the kind of epicenter for. this absolutely beautiful mural of the

recent black lives of have been lost in. protests this is the. presidency of. some 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 been setting up and 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. well for the side of the ongoing protests activists being continuing to take aim at what they say are hurtful

reminders of the slavery here incidents of confederate statues being toppled carried on nationwide throughout the week and even though the president called the situation a disgrace to the country demonstrators say they are determined to carry on regardless. meanwhile in the neighboring state of virginia b.l.m. supporters were carrying guns in the open. of confederate general robert in the

been destroyed their armed patrols was protecting people from the kook klux klan the money meant itself has been sprayed from top to bottom with graffiti and photos of police brutality victims placed around this stuff protesters call the monument a reminder of oppression. the reason why i'm here is because of this statue that you know this day she was brought a lot of pain a lot of her out of the oppression of the people who want to see it now and you have certain confederacy people certain claim people said and so the 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 heard from statues to the shop shelves another major american consumer brand overhauled 'd its packaging this week to avoid being labeled as 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 get killed

being looking at the levels of sincerity however that went into about the. 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 and 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 join my mother's band 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. was based on the man's. 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 founder chris wright a white man to get the name after attending the national show they black face did you also know he hired former slave nancy grace to be his barry allen gemma where she went around to the bank case and tell the people stories of the good ole sack and afterwards they did say how about survives him out on the field of them having their very own man way back last man to 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 and 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 where social stability in the united states and its 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 that makes big stories i collapsed in relations in korea and the north dramatically blows up a diplomatic i focused on polish to send troops into the militarized zone beside war and say its neighbor will pay a price more enough story more besides coming up. the

world is driven by a dream shaped and person. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.

we go to work. straight home. 18 minutes past 8 pm this sunday evening here in moscow welcome back let's start back in france where nationwide rallies by healthcare workers saw some ugly scenes on tuesday tens of thousands turned to remind the government about its pledge to help medical stuff and support hospitals now as the day progressed the peaceful protests took a darker. the

police accuse some violent individuals of hijacking a peaceful protest video of a french nurse being injured during her arrest at a rally in paris sparked a furious reaction on july 8th free for read a campaign sprang up in response police say she was the tane for throwing projectiles officers credos eventually released from custody but i just you know in court in september charged with rebellion when police seized her the 52 year old was heard saying she couldn't brief and asking for her usman medication. was. i heard everyone applauded medical stuff and h.b.r.

for months but no one wanted to buy the health of my mother for adda health care workers do in these 2 months a long time medical personnel have said that they asked the katyn 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 20 years as a housekeeper worker never complain explain how did she come to this is it to the camera operators from r t france were also injured while filming some of the rest when people began throwing stones of police both receive treatment from medical workers who are up the rally at least equal 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 backed truck completely buying chokeholds after opposition from officers more on that aspect from charlotte to penske. front says 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 great stuff casting there even. during his speech let me let 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 hand or next protest is hailed kasten is moved to a choke hold but the reaction from the police was theory unions despite the technique was essential. my colleagues who used the choke hold 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 union is demanding to walk so this is turned out to protest throwing 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're racist but want to know how do we proceed with individuals who refuse to be arrested we're under the effect of narcotics alcohol if they take away our working methods there will 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. stun guns 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 once while others suffered severe injuries while stun guns or increasingly becoming the weapon of choice of course europe enforced even the police concern us. 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 in 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 next on your ass there is a real problem of racism there's a document check principle based on appearance there is a certain cover up of the problems their 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 to 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 streets this indicates a serious problem and significant function in our public. there was

a dramatic worsening in korean relations on tuesday the north blew up the only negotiation i post with the saw is sending their heavily strained relationship to a dangerous thing though. they're harboring weeks of dispute with the saw it which pyongyang blames for a stalled peace talks failing to stop defectors distributing cross border propaganda north korea also later threaten to send troops into the to militarize borders zone 'd all but life being out of a deal to reduce tensions but the so i think read barely 2 years ago. the artillery units deployed will operate the level of the from guard duty to top class combat duty 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. let's get some background to this north korea has been complaining in recent weeks that propaganda leaflets have been

flowing from the saw it claiming it's in violation of the reached agreement some defector groups being sending flyers by balloon across the heavily fortified border the government in the south has taken police action against the group saying their activities were not helping efforts to achieve peace and prosperity on the korean peninsula on self an event reports emerged that north korea was going to retaliate with its own leaflets korea specialists believe pyongyang's ultimate aim could 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 the domestic situation in the us now so i think that's why they 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 tromp 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 got much out of it something to consider that they might think they might have felt very desperate. a warts and all look next that life just

around the corner from some of the most prestigious streets on the planet our documentary being poor in the world's richest country begins in moments. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race in a. very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical of time time to sit down and talk. in the troubled 19 seventies a group of killers rampage through parts of northern ireland that was coordinated

loyalist attacks protecting a population of tens of thousands were forced to flee their homes and what was striking to put these attacks was a p.r. you see the police actually took part in the attacks so instead of preventing them they were active participants in the burning of coal streets in belfast at the time more than a 100 innocent civilians were. as the review can seniors and we found out more i was surprised about the extent. to which the collusion was involved in some of those cases they killers would later be named. in the gang i think it went to the very very top i think it is. the water where politicians you know on the go ahead.

in southern california the sun rises over san diego bay. next to a parkway in this parking lot 54 year old maria begins her day. straight white bread and. this car is her. this is every day. this routine. about stretching my bad. memory and no longer has a place to live she's been sleeping in her van for a year now. looks pretty nice you don't you don't feel it doesn't seem to you live here but you do i have seen people with their cars messy and things all over the place how can i go to work with my life like that.
