we go to work. straight home. thursday the 16th of july in the headlines today saved from the streets only to be placed with paedophiles a damning study in germany says vulnerable children were being fostered by sex abusers and that the authorities probably knew some of the victims are told us they don't think they'll ever recover. every day it was mental and physical mistreatment we were forced to do things we wouldn't normally do because we were threatened our lives have been destroyed we are unable to work and we have become aware that we are just a pile of misery. a protester attacks police in new york during a march against gun crime several officers are injured including the police chief

just so recently in solidarity with the protestors last month. making stand the statue of a black lives matter right this just briefly erected in the british city of bristol where a bronze to win a tory slave trader was toppled weeks ago but locals say they've got mixed feelings over it all. is good but like. i don't think personally i think it's the start you was a wreck he did he individually like the peace or should it be about it like you just pushed out should you want to know. good afternoon from russia live from artie's world new center here in moscow my name's kevin 0 in with the latest for you this afternoon 1st than in germany the stories coming in from vulnerable young boys have been placed in the foster care of paedophile men there

a damning study by hill this time university also says that the authorities either ignored evidence of abuse or were complicit in letting it continue cases as recent as 2003 and details stem back to the 1960 s. peter oliver has been speaking with some of the victims who came forward. decades of abuse carried out by put in a position to protect the most vulnerable in society for 30 years starting in the 1970 s. berlin or thorazine placed children in the care of a convicted paedophile named for its age i spoke to 2 of his victims to protect their right to anonymity they'll be named only as spin and marco. our daily lives were dominated by instructions we were shielded from the outside world like a sect most of the time we faced violence if we wanted to go out or meet someone else we were intimidated and told these people were bad that we should have nothing

to do with them if we wanted to go anyway we were forbidden every day was mental and physical mistreatment and we're only realizing this now we were forced to do things we wouldn't normally do because we were threatened that was our life the worst the treatment the more you felt this person was important to you every day with this man was a fight for survival and the fight to preserve yourself what makes this more troubling is that the lives of these men as well as others were busy essentially being toyed with as part of an experiment so venerated psychologist helmet even after his death in 2010 was regarded as they found. he was an effective little more than a match maker putting neglected children into the care of predators. we learned about this experiment when doctor called in 2017 my thought was this can't be true i was not a mere product of chance i was deliberately selected by the berlin branch of the

s.p.d. party the ruling party at the time that hired a mercenary to destroy our lives in an experiment when we heard about it we felt. and what particularly bothers us is that the names of those responsible are missing but there must be a further investigation in my opinion this is one of the greatest crimes of the post-war era the fact that it was really an experiment is shameful and very humiliating it was tolerated for decades no one ever came along and asked how we were doing how life with our foster father was going nobody ever came over to check . those responsible are still sitting in offices or enjoying their pensions they're trying to hide behind a statute limit. patients to torpedo another investigation is shameful that the perpetrator the organization is hiding behind legal quibbles to avoid shedding light on it this criminal organization should not be behind the investigation the

care system in germany has changed dramatically since scandalous time when it comes to who can act as a foster parent authors of a study into the can flourish experiments of told r.t. that there is no way his crimes were carried out without the welfare office being directly involved in germany was to care is the responsibility of the youth welfare offices still children and adolescents who leave and forced to homes always understate observation the things that occur in foster homes we examined could not have happened without the knowledge of officials in the us welfare authorities there has never been this state investigation into the actions of kempler and his experiment in senators told us they are pushing for a nationwide examination to look at the real scale of the abuse since we have nationwide connections further research going to bill in the dead only to berlin the center for education youth and family has said that she wants to submit an

application to the conference of ministers to deal with sexual violence and foster homes the victims of abuse say the knowledge of the girl in government it makes them accomplices in the crimes and in moscow of pushing for legal action today after having been failed by the authorities. the berlin senate is 100 percent involved the bird in senate initiated it and then tolerated it it's already been admitted verbal it but not legally from the very beginning the only thing that mattered to them was how to keep the problem small thing criminal charges were put forward we file charges in the senate kept in touch with us since then there's been no contact with the senate it's impossible to. build up such an organization on this scale without state help. we expect justice our lives have been destroyed we are unable to work and we have become aware that we are just a pile of misery we were put in this situation by the government deliberately it

was not an accident as we thought until now it is a matter of course that the senate will make amends the senate has offered as $10000.00 euros in return for us taking no further action against it the names of those responsible and the consequences for these people are still missing as long as it stays like that things are not over this is a particularly harrowing story of exploitation and failure to protect the state who was expressly directed to protect. new york police officers into a vicious attack by a protester on wednesday while they were supervising a mostly peaceful march against gun crime they were assaulted where marchers met counter protesters on brooklyn bridge the officers were making an arrest when an identified man seen running towards the officers and then beating them with a k. the n.y.p.d. says 3 of its officers did sustain injuries including a police chief who only last month showed his solidarity with the protesters by

taking the knee. beautiful moment of calm there as chief terrance monaghan to be here at city police department in solidarity with protesters. a retired philadelphia police captain ray lewis told us he's worried these days that officers are no seen as the people's enemy by protesters. they're obviously much more concerned nowadays with being attacked due to the actions of other officers because there's such a thing called the halo effect and that is now every officer is being asserted on a brutal and an enemy of the minority population the fact is these officers were attacked. unnecessarily what disappointed me with this is none of the other protesters even pushed this guy away took them to the ground

took his weapon you want to went over. empathy for your movement do the right thing justice is for everybody the solution to violent protest is to confront the reason you have violent protests confront the economic disparities can confront the job lack of job opportunities confront the lack of education for black people these are the things that go into these protests. and you start to briefly appeared on a plane in the english port city of bristol meantime we're just a few weeks ago the long standing monument to a slave trade there was unceremoniously thrown into the harbor the search of edward constables told them to the major anti-racism early last month it later was retrieved by the authorities and taken away is what went up than in its place on wednesday or be it briefly a statue of campaign gen reed recreating the moment that she stood on the plane for

after that rally and raised her fist in a black power salute it drew more than a few onlookers to here's what some of them thought about it. i think you said absolutely fantastic it's good for the people of bristol it's good for lives marked i think personally i think it should stay the statue was a wreck he did legally. and i think as a democracy we should be able to vote for what statues direct hits and all see disagree with the way that the college he's like she was taking down seats in exactly vandalism seats you individually like the piece what we've seen in bristol to see that the 1st that she was taken down that started all of these things overall people are happy the statue was gone there should have been a defeat about it just to put out there like you just let me push that should do i want to know generally. well say that new start she was mentioned was taken down and put in museum the city's mayor says there needs to be

a democratic process for the people of bristol to decide the future of the plant party co-founder catherine blakelock told us people taking it upon themselves to install a statue so it's a dangerous president though. it's antidemocratic i think the fact that they didn't apply for planning commission and they put. it to put it up in the middle of the night shows you actually what this movement is about this movement isn't about the people crystal the people up if they really wanted to they could apply to have planning permission to put this out they didn't it sets a precedent that a few people can decide and that democracy does not matter anymore. russian media is facing a resurgent me 2 chapters of the number of current and former journalist being accused of sexual harassment another abuses covering up today saskia taylor. it

started with a tweet it grew into a conversation about sexual assault and harassment on a level and never seen before me to has raised up many people and brought many people down we now have a verdict in the harvey weinstein rape trial one of hollywood's best known as kevin spacey the latest high profile star caught up in allegations actor anthony rapp accusing spacy of making a sexual advance at a party 30 years ago singer r. kelly has officially been charged of 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse involving young girls and it's also just one tweet which has now brought the movement to russia's shores there is one vile story about the social circuit around 5 years ago those guys had a joke about the twitter chick she got drunk at a house party and was gang raped there. are some 2014 will every time he was passing the news room approached almost every guy including me trying to hug me

touchdowns touch me below the waist whisper in my ear will your sporty i was read by roseland at my house party in 2018 and he apologized 2 years after everyone was aware of the scale of the problem most of all i was shocked by friends who knew about it all and still kept hanging out with him these accusations have grabbed attention because they involve names of people known to the russian public. is a high profile john list an editor of the website and became a need an outlet founded and funded by businessmen oligarch me haha to call ski facing scrutiny alongside him is his colleague andres zola tough who denies any wrongdoing both have since resigned why in the media wild allegations of wild around a face known to people since the ninety's a journalist up golf who most recently was presenter of the t.v. channel rain he. apologized saying times have changed and so have concept of

personal space these latest revelations have also read pulled into one of russians largest banks bank and triggered an investigation into the conduct of 2 employees would take this charges very seriously and are interested in carrying out an objective assessment of what happened immediately after the publication the internal security services bourbon initiated internal inquiry both employees are suspended from their duties for the duration of the investigation it's not the fust time that stories like this have risen up from the darkness head and russia a few years ago and not the hash tag i'm not afraid to speak so thousands of women shout their experiences of sexual violence but they failed to resonate on a national level will this be different but only time on the conclusions of the investigations will tell by the way almost 3 years on from that for us to me to

tweet it's clear that this is a movement that continues to spark conversations across all boundaries of space and culture so this could turn into that report this is all too international over a good afternoon in the stories coming up after the break getting closer fingers crossed to a covert vaccine but how is the progress doing well we'll update you on clinical trials here in russia very soon.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. again news next today that russian scientists and picking up the pace in testing

a potential vaccine for covert 19 with hopes for a world 1st maybe but it might be ready by the autumn reporting next than on how the 1st medical volunteers have paved the way for mass testing. we've been livin in corbett shadow for months now the world health organization calls it public enemy number one and it's not loosen its grip more than 13000000 people are currently in fact worldwide back thing remains world's best hope to return to pre-print that make life and the raise to find a treatment to protect all of us has been accelerating moskos session of university has been conducted in russia's 1st human trials about a month ago 38 volunteer is men and women aged between 18 and 60 stepped in to help they were given injections before spending weeks in complete isolation under the close supervision of doctors and scientists and today the 1st volunteers have been

discharged 1st 3 were in isolation at a health resort for 2 weeks that was a preparation period then we were brought here for 20 days i work in public catering so i'm always around people when this started i realised how many people were falling sick so i decided to help there was nothing special just a vaccination it isn't scary it's like a fever reducing injection another group of the volunteer is expected to be discharged on monday but after that all those who participated in the trial will still be monitored by scientists and doctors the doctors here are confident that the 1st phase has been a success nighter to vaccine nor the protein produced after danger action provoked the disease to do so had a temperature of 30 a degree celsius which chills out a headache but all that was gone on the 3rd day there was a little pain i had no side effects no high temperature i got a headache in the evening i told the doctors and they started to check me every

hour in the morning my body temperature rose 37.5 degrees but that said there were no other problems with phase one now complete next comes the big test hundreds and then thousands of people. given doses to test the drug's effectiveness if everything goes well researchers hope the vaccine could officially be registered by the end of the summer. this is not only about immunity itself but about do ration after the drug is approved there will be broader tests not 30 volunteers that hundreds of people so that we can assess how long the immunity lasts this will be the next piece of clinical trials we hope for success because we believe it will save many lives and help us to defeat the virus our knowledge of immunity is still evolving and one recent study suggests that antibodies start fading away after a matter wigs and even a person unprotected but russian scientists say it's important to say on top of the

facts. we hear sensational news every week somebody says or writes something and it causes a stir these announcements often contradict each other for the past 6 weeks we've seen conflicting data on the number of treatment drugs and we see the same when it comes to the duration of immunity in the world health organization says around $21.00 potential vaccines are currently on to go in human trials more than $130.00 are there is are at an even earlier stage they're still being tested on animals this is sort of in moscow section of that it could be the 1st to get that much needed treatment out into the world to keep covered 19 at bay and get all our lives back to normal regulation on r.t. from moscow. can't come soon enough when it no next facebook insists it works flatow to take the offensive content but when it comes to tracking down far more sinister a counseling to isolate for instance the seems to be a problem

a study by an antique streamers and think tank is found hundreds of accounts of a detection by exploiting technologies and loopholes alone meant to stay active for months one technique something called common. tent masking by mixing pro i sill material in with videos of general genuine content from real news outlets like b.b.c. and their friends 24 a number of others some videos were edited to begin with content that on the face of it seemed innocuous or bland but then it changed i still sympathizers also infiltrated common threads to share links to known jihadi sites and they coordinated raids on other facebook pages including the u.s. military do now the report says the accounts are also gloated about being able to so-called gain the system research has found almost $300.00 pro eisel accounts managed to slip past facebook's moderators the site says it's called 0 tolerance for terrorist propaganda and it has no removed those posts those accounts but internet law expert cohen says it doesn't take much for harmful content to achieve

its goal only indoctrination is extremely dangerous there are people who are addicted to the material in the more they watch it the more brainwashed they become and it is effectively a vicious cycle there so it is extremely dangerous anyone who is slightly susceptible to being brainwashed which is tween much every teenager or every every growing out will to have you know few problems in issues in life it is enough for them to watch a couple of those videos to start becoming brainwashed and after that they just keep watching and watching and watching in then you end up. with young people being indoctrinated and. effectively become to make generation of isis fighters. there's billions of active users capable of reaching audience around the

globe sites like facebook struggle to stay on top of harmful content at the weekend it failed to stop a man in the u.k. from live streaming his suicide despite many people desperately trying to alert moderators it's thought up to 400 people watch the live stream which was later deleted in a statement facebook said it had provided the man with support documents follow his initial post about his intention to take his own life cohen thinks facebook's attention is more swayed by policing political content in protecting uses from harm at the moment. don a matter of priorities the question for facebook is where that it does it place it's on resources and that facebook seem to be extremely busy at a mall and. content moderating in relation to political views political affiliation so-called fake news. because these are popular subjects bit

they feel will will enable them to score some points. just a 2nd to tell you about this i welcome intruders over on twitter as well a big offer just too good to be true famous faces have their accounts hacked from kenya west to joe biden elon musk to jeff bezos it's red faces all round then at the social site you get more that one today anytime you like at r.t. dot com. finally for now residents in the ruined ancient iraqi city of mosul have a new battle on their hands after emerging from the shadow of what was the former stronghold of the self-proclaimed islamic state now they're having to deal with a pandemic just like all of us but for them it's particularly tough means some are again risking their lives. the snaps my job is to help people stay positive give them the best available

treatment and make sure that they get through this as well as possible. and we want to make sure an 11 day a lockdown doesn't turn into something much more anger. people have grown used to the daily risk of death there is a sense of fatigue we need to give people a sense of hope during the lockdown. well
