of front line workers. longtime medical personnel for. coming in with the top stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment well this is the weekly in our to international hello and welcome. our top story british police have confirmed that i deadly knife attack in a park in southern england on saturday evening is being treated terrorism 3 people were killed in the incident in reading which is a run 60 kilometers west of london one victim has been named as a secondary school teacher here so our t. shirt be edwards dusty 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

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 things 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've declared a terror 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 the suspect ran into. 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. as a result so. clear that it was not associated in any way with

a matter of protest which took place peacefully earlier on in the day there is no specific intelligence to suggest that attending credit places is at risk but i would ask the public please continue with your lives. 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 believed to have lived allegedly neighbors have even heard a controlled explosion in the premises now the total number of injured is i'm confirmed 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 these 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. pretty quick. it sounds pretty tragic and it's the kind of thing happening a lot and maybe next time. 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 were put in place due to the lockdown boris johnson by himself 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. former london police detective peter kirk commended the response and reading but there are likely to be working with fewer resources than forces in the big cities.

it's something that's been of concern for some time. whilst the response to terrorist incidents in places like central london or 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 far 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 take you to germany where

a night of rioting has left parts of the scythe western city of stuck guard in turmoil several police officers were injured as the authorities tried to get a grip on the situation which they described as 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 smushed including police vehicles germany's federal relief team has been called in to assist with the clean up operation the start guard police confirmed 20 people were arrested in the chaos. for america where see our faults police free occupation protests saw a shooting overnight one man is dead and another injured officer say they had trouble trying to get into the area and got a violent reaction from the cried the initial shots were fired in a park in the so-called autonomy.

the suspect or suspects are still at large seattle police retreated from to sew enough for protesters started throwing projects. to use weapons capitol hill organized protest or child. being occupied in a district in central seattle for 2 weeks the president trumped reeled out the protesters during a campaign rally today having this to say. and i have it off or rather say that each time you won we'll come in wall street did in one hour or less. no 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 out assault rifles to minors which is illegal in washington state activists who walked through the zone just a few days ago and he left following to get a shooting but here's his initial take on what's going on there. 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 autonomous so. that. currently standing outside of the police department precinct which has been abandoned after a series of protests that devolved into riots the police department decided to be prudent to actually leave the station and so this is become the kind of epicenter for. this is absolutely beautiful. the

recent black lives that have been lost in these 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 a town in the so 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 protests 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 us out trying to move this thing out. really. you know pretty incredible scenes there for the racism side of the ongoing protests activists have been continuing to take aim

at what they say are hurtful reminders of the slavery era incidents of confederate statues being toppled carried all 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 virginia supporters who are carrying guns are running this country of

confederate general robert e. lee described their armed protests as protecting people from the ku klux klan monument itself has been sprayed with graffiti and photos of police brutality victims placed around the statue protesters call the money meant a reminder of. the reason why i'm here is because this statute that this state she has brought a lot of a lot of her personal people who want to see it now and you have certain confederacy people certain claim people certain 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 when i haven't that this is a day when i haven't welcome statues to shop shelves another major american consumer brand overhauled its packaging this way 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 goods kaleb

up and looks now at the levels of sincerity that went into that the city. 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 through my mother's ban and many other and cakes in the world we recognize and origins are based on a racial stereotype while work has been done over the years to update the brand where realize those changes are not enough and your mind was based on 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 do you know the founder chris wright a white man again the name after attending the michelle show think black face did you also know he hired former slave nancy grace to be his very much amana where she went around to the pancakes and tell the people stories of the good ole sack and afterwards they did say come about sometimes i'm out on the field of them having their very own man that last 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 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 a sign. just. purpose to season 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 win a social stability in the united states and it's commentary these are neck 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 come up and artsy new york. also among the big stories of the week a collapse in relations in korea dramatically blows up a diplomatic outpost then follows to send troops into the demilitarized zone the side warns its neighbor a well paying a price or not and what. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. here in dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful betty. talk.

the program back in france where nationwide health care 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 as the day progressed the peaceful protests took a darker turn. when

the police accuse some violent individuals of hijacking a peaceful protest video of a french nurse being injured during her arrest at a rally here in part sparked a furious reaction online a free for rita campaign sprang up in response police say she was the taken for throwing projectiles after officers from rita was eventually released from custody this jew in court in september charged with rebellion and police seized her the 52 year old was heard saying she couldn't breathe asking for her own medication. but i heard my everyone applauded medical stuff and each pm for months said no

unavoidable the health of my mother for our health care one of these 2 month long time medical personnel have said that the suffocating but then 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 is a housekeeper worker never complain explain how did she come to this. day to camera operators from r t france were also injured while filming some of the unrest when people began throwing stones at the police both receive treatment from medical workers who were at the rally. was a lot of comes to policing officers in france will still be able to use culture of personal restraining methods at the start of the week the government. completely bombing chokeholds after opposition from officers more from charlotte dubinsky. france's interior minister promised 0 tolerance on racism among the forces

a promise that came all the mass protests over allegations of racism and police brutality unleashed following the death of george floyd in the us free stuff yesterday even. during his speech. the chokehold 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 cast in this move to ban the chokehold but the reaction from the police was theory unions described 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 demanding to work so

this is turned out to protest throwing their hand cuffs. 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. how do we proceed with individuals who refused to be arrested were 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 could record 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 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 the technique is banned from the police must be given a solution and we agree that

a stun gun is not the solution and what is it buckled in a row over whether or not the force is all racist to brutal or just doing their jobs offices all seeing their methods to control brands 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 streets this indicates a serious problem a significant malfunction in our public. there was a dramatic worsening in korean relations on tuesday the north blew up the only

negotiation i post with the south sending their heavily strained relationship to a dangerous new low. there have been weeks of dispute with this side which pyongyang blames for a stalled peace talks on failing to stop the fact distributing cross border propaganda north korea also later threatened to send troops into the to militarize borders over all but wiping out a deal to reduce tensions with the so i think great burly 2 years ago. the artillery units deployed 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 if the north actually takes such a move it will certainly pay the price for it. north korea's being complaining in recent weeks that propaganda leaflets something flowing from the south claiming

it's in violation of the reached agreements some defector groups been sending flyers by balloon across the heavily fortified border the government in the south has taken police action against the groups 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 specialist. police pyongyang's ultimate aim though could be about generating attention much further afield. i 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 a kind of a last hail mary attempt to really get america's attention which is becoming increasingly difficult with this domestic situation in the us now so i think that's why they're resorting 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 gone much out of it something to consider that they might think they might have felt very desperate. ok time now for a warts and all look out life just arrived in the corner from some of the most

prestigious streets on the planet our documentary being poor in the world's richest country gets going in moments. what's needed national the thought of you know when you've been imaging less and that some may see it it was a propagandist you. heard from or your morgue or your more your partner are going to be moving through our. water source like you all but us lucifer mistletoe is just that in the gotta come to think of. it is not my achievement mr davies our 5 year of plans were conceived by lineage and carried out by the people themselves if how they would produce or even flirted with the idea of making

a film like this they'd probably be branded as crazy. that was the sentiment during the war that the soviets were brave heroes resisting the nazis that's going to change of course after the war but once the cold war begins. little people think that hollywood is a free place but really what is strictly defined by only one side of the business and the other side is idealist. how would i define hollywood is they call it the dream manufacture which i think's true but i think equally it's a problem in the fact. you can't argue with nature and it's nature that has to live through this message and some people really know only in the long term we're going to have. to adjust the way they live and conduct business to take into account this new blood vitally

important aspect of our life the need to insist was coded 99 think that some changes in a positive direction are going to happen out of our self interest as a species. without change. like say everything in here is given to me. these.
