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 reporting that the 25 year old man is believed to be of a libyan descent though that's. right. however one of the patients that was meant to a 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 place has now taken over the investigation from the thames on a piece 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 that the suspect ran into for a park in the reading 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 reconfirm. that this was declared a terrorist incident that's going to be as

a result of this investigation. we're clear that it was not associated in any way with a massive 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 to. be alert when you are out in public now around 40 witnesses have come forward assisting the pace 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 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 these lessons obviously is the matter of security obviously the. kingdom is in the elementary stages of

lifting the lockdown procedures head due to the coronavirus and many people are taking to hanging out in parks during the lockdown is no where else has been. say over many pros at this point so paul it's all wrong fortunately. most of them don't even have any security and also it's a bunch of british taking the public. particularly. well from and. it sounds pretty tragic and it's the kind of thing that's happening along the maybe next time please take you. seriously. so should. we. allow the mayor of reading has announced a minute's silence is to be held tomorrow at 10 o'clock and the long running behind closed doors future of course social distancing measures that are put in place due to the knock down. by himself the prime minister is not in contact with the police leading the investigation today though he did and it was clear to officials police and senior ministers at downing street all of this later this latest incident is

hiding decorative all the instance across the united kingdom because as we know britain has been home to terror incidents in previous years. because.

we can get some reaction to the incident and also in some various aspects former london police detective peter kirk and he commented on the response from reading seen of the good but says that officers there are likely to be working with fewer resources than forces in the big cities take a listen. it's something that's been of concern for some time. 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 bring you know to germany where a night of rioting in parts of bayside western city of start guard in turmoil some 19 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 drugs bust shops were broken into cars smushed including police vehicles germany's federal relief team has been called in as well to assist with the clean up operation here some of it the state guard police confirmed 20 people were arrested in the chaos. to the u.s.

where seattle's police free occupation protests saw a shooting overnight one man is dead another injured officers say he 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 for the murder of seattle police retreated from the zone after protesters started throwing projectiles closing the officers to use crowd control weapons the capitol hill organized protest or cho also known as child was being occupying a district in central seattle for 2 weeks the president reeled up the protesters during a campaign rally and something that hoping to say to the city's democratic leaders

. and i have it off or rather say to you one will come in wall street did in one hour or less i know i've made the wrong. what is probably better for us to just watch that disaster on earlier in the week this video began circulating online and a lot of views showing a protester a partly hunting out assault rifle to minors which is illegal in washington state. book since he walked us through this own just a few days ago and he's since left because of the deadly shooting but here's his initial take. when was the last time they used 2 cities at once to my right is the city of seattle but typically dreary monday afternoon to. the capitol hill autonomous so it's now becoming paths.

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 chad is the capitol hill autonomous zone this absolutely beautiful mural of the recent black lives that have been lost in these protests this is. already starting a lot of people right president. 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 have been setting up and and kind of creating slowly over the last couple days living community people are going to come here. and like protesting our protests we need some sort of protection. whether that be guns or

whether that be your voices we need that your gun. so are you worried about the police coming up in here and trying to bust us out trying to move this thing out it really. is for the racism side of the old going protests activists up in continuing to take him out what they say are hurtful reminders of slavery era incidents of confederate statues being toppled curried all right throughout the week nationwide the president called the situation to the country well demonstrators say they're only getting started.

i want to bring you know to virginia the state of virginia where b.l.m. supporters were occurring surrounding the statue of confederate general robert e. lee they describe their armed patrols as protecting people from the ku klux klan the monument itself has been sprayed with graffiti and photos of police brutality victims place to run the statue protesters call the monument a reminder of oppression. the reason i'm here is because. this statute this state she was brought a lot of a lot of pressure on people who want to see it you have certain confederacy people certain people certain people who don't want to see it that they want to keep it up to remind us of the oppression to keep us in the system having it as this day when

. we're from statues to shop shelves another major american consumer brand overhaul dense 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 goods kill them up and those who has been looking at the levels of sincerity that went into that decision. 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 and me 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 did you know the founder chris wright a white man to get 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 a man where she went around to the bank a sense of people stories of the good all sad and the as they have seen come about sometimes him out on the field of them having their very own man 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 the 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 leave on now neal for a moment of silence. just. purposed the season to listen. 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 social stability in the united states and his commentary these are next the issues that brought 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 cohen every

products it will mop and artsy new york. also among the week's big stories a collapse quite literally in relations in korea the north dramatically blows up a diplomatic outpost and dollars to send troops into they didn't militarized zone the side warns its neighbor will pay a price we thought the story broke and done for you in moments.

you can't be both with yeah you're right. ok ok continue all with a recap of the week that was let's start back in france where nationwide rallies by healthcare workers saw some ugly scenes that was all choose the 10s of thousands

turning out to remind the government about its pledge to help medical staff and support hospitals as the day progressed a peaceful protest took a darker turn. i. was. i the police accuse some violent individuals of hijacking a peaceful protest video of a french nurse being injured during her arrest at a rally and part of sparked a furious reaction online a free for rita campaign sprang up in response police say she was the taken for

throwing projectiles at officers was eventually released from custody but is 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. was. crazy because i was. there i heard much everyone applauded medical stuff at 8 pm for months so i know unavoidable the health of my mother for other health care workers do in these 2 months a long time medical personnel have said that they accept 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 put 20 years as a housekeeper worker never complain explain how did she come to this. it also affected our child to camera operators from archie fronts were injured while

filming some of the unrest to when people began throwing stones at police both receive treatment for medical workers who are actually out there really just when it comes to policing officers in france will still be able to use. controversial restraining method at the start of the week the government backed completely bombing chokeholds proposition from officer showed up and he's got that story. 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 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 to protest is hailed asked 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 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 unions demanding to walk selflessness turned out in protest throwing their hand cuffs. on the bar what are we not 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. 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 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 chokehold and the danger of which he himself could recall that 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 a 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 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. 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 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 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. good to another story we're keeping a close eye on a dramatic worse thing in korean relations happened on choose they've been north blew up the only negotiation outpost with the side sending their heavily strained relationship to a dangerous new low. well this really was the culmination of weeks of the speed with the scythe which pyongyang blames for stalled peace talks on feeling to stop defectors distributing cross border propaganda and north korea also later threatened to send troops into the to militarize borders so all but wiping out

a deal to reduce tensions with the sides agreed barely 2 years ago. the artillery units deployed will operate the level of the from guard duty to top class comm by due to system through all the front line and all kind of regular military exercises in the areas close to the boundary if the north actually takes such a move it will certainly paid the price for it. let's go through what they had to this perhaps north korea has been complaining in recent weeks that propaganda leaflets have been feeling from the saw it claiming it's in violation of their reached agreements some defector groups have been sending flyers by balloon across the heavily fortified border the government the site react to the taking at police action against those 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 company up or no police pyongyang's ultimate aim though could be about generating attention

much further we. think it's just because of those leaflets those anti north korea propaganda let's 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 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 got much out of it but something to consider that they might think they might have felt very desperate. love is where we leave the news for another put on straight to far more great r t programs get their start in moments live from moscow i mean this is r t international. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

what's needed national well that's not a matter when he believes in less than that some place it is possible to prevent the skew but also his new kind of scene where your morgue you're more your partner are going to be moving through our. water source like you would all but us lucifer mr delicious that i'm like i don't have time to stay with the queen nobody it is not my achievement mr davies out of 5 beautiful lands were conceived badly needed and carried out by the people themselves if alan would produce or even floor it with the idea of making a film like this they'd probably be branded as crazy. how was the sentiment during the war 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 holywood is strictly defined by only one side of the business and the other side is ideology. how would i define hollywood is they call it a dream manufacture which i think's true but i think equally it's a propaganda fact.
