so we do believe. by golly it's time to do news again. the biggest story of the week is brought to you from r.t. international russia denies britain's accusations of meddling in last year's election or hacking its covert vaccine research. a damning study in germany sheds light on how vulnerable children both fostered by sex abuse is for decades with the authorities apparently in the know some of the victims describe to us what they'd lived through. every day it was mental and physical mistreatment and 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. and china has to retaliate after president trying provokes hong kong preferential trade status until sanctions on officials and institutions he

believes are undermining the territories autonomy. international's world news headquarters here in moscow is kevin owen saying good morning hi there this is the weekly roundup of some of the big news stories of the last 7 days so 1st the russian ambassador to britain then says there is no sense to the u.k. claims on russian meddling britain on thursday accused moscow of interfering in last year's general election and also of hacking medical research for a coronavirus vaccine. the russian intelligence agencies have been targeting in terms of cyber attacks against efforts across those 3 countries and here in the u.k. our attempts to find a vaccine through research and development occurring of ours we do not have information about who may have hacked into pharmaceutical companies and research centers in great britain we can say one thing russia has nothing at all to do with

these attempts security services from the u.s. and canada also joined the cyber attack accusations they said the hacking group targeted various organizations involved in vaccine development with the likely intention of stealing the u.n. says it has quote no information about any alleged cyber threats or theft of vaccine research there's people in london than if they were worried about a perceived russian threat. i think it's better to paper straight from trials often these things will distract job you know just through a smokescreen you know just to you know distract us from what's really going on sounds like it's pretty good evidence that it was from russian hackers so yeah it doesn't surprise me there's a lot of difficulty. hearing this election i'd rather be blaming cummings before i blame roshi's i think they've got to be a puritan is trying to destabilize the west and so. to make things.

more. conducive for russian interests russian explained if you take this kind of like aftermath of like a red scare kind of thing like a pressure so we think that's correct and it's very easy to point the finger isn't it isn't also africa when you point the finger take a look see how many fingers are pointing back at you. but we got reaction to the allegations were former british politician analysts and intelligence stuff. well here we go again highly likely of course days are long gone when the public believed highly unlikely claims by british government ministers are megastars any well the public demands are of a higher standard of growth than that nowadays what do they mean by russian is this president put in that again sitting on radio. jock your motor boat the national health service. if they had evidence wouldn't we

as a publisher if they're caught when what they mean by russian actor actress surely must mean russian security forces if they had evidence that russian security forces were guilty of into being in the u.k. general election you'd not be prosecuted in rome to release that information that would be headline news in every news outlet in this country and across the globe seized on by the americans and the be leaky. do men when a story broke as well last year and it was called a leak wasn't called a hack so it was something coming out of government while the real hacked from the some explorers act or agency so i think it's interesting that now bring us up to take a head of the publication a screener tourist russia and report. for years in germany vulnerable young boys have been placed in the foster care of paid to farm

then the damning revelations from a study by hill to some university which also says the authorities either ignored the evidence of abuse or were complicit in letting it continue peter oliver has been speaking with some of the victims who came forward. decades of abuse carried out by those put in a position to protect the most vulnerable in society for 30 years starting in the 1970 s. . place 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. and marco. our daily lives are 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 should have nothing to do with them if we wanted to go anyway we were forbidden every day it 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 worse the treatment the more you felt this person was important to you every day with this man was a fight for survival and a fight to preserve yourself what makes this more troubling is that the lives of these men as well as essentially being. as part of an experiment. rated psychologist helmet and even after his death in 2010 was regarded as they found. he was in effect little more than a match maker putting neglected children into the care of predators. we learned about this experiment 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 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. them and what particularly bothers us is that the names of those responsible are missing but there must be a. their 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 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 of limitations 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 experiment of told r.t. that there is no way his crimes were carried out without the welfare office being directly involved in germany of course to care is the responsibility of the youth welfare offices still children and adolescents who leave and forced to homes always grow up on just 8 observation the things that occur in foster homes we examined could not have happened without the knowledge of officials in the u.k. welfare authorities there has never been this state investigation into the actions of kempler and his experiment 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 canada 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 berlin government it makes them accomplices in the crimes and in moscow of pushing for legal action today after having been failed by the authorities there. 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 then 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 is expressly directed to protect. china's relations with washington went from bad to worse this last week with beijing now threatening to retaliate against washington after president trump signed off on canceling hong kong as preferential trade status trump also approved the hong kong autonomy was passed by congress earlier this month which imposes sanctions on officials involved in china's new security law again drawing a rebuke from beijing. the us sides towns to obstruct implementation of hand counts national security law will never succeed in order to save guard its own interests

china will make the necessary sponsor and impose sanctions on relevant u.s. personnel and. there's a growing list of troubles between the 2 from distrust over the technology for highway to territorial disputes in the south china sea and then of course the big one came covert our senior correspondent steve outlines next the major disputes that are driving the u.s. and china further and further apart. it is what trump threatened to do should beijing introduce these new security laws in hong kong and what they are is basically a restriction on with the criticism of the chinese government in hong kong for example it outlaws any calls for independence a session from china for hong kong as well as outlawing publishing by by life in prison even mingling with the wrong crowd to being on the payroll of foreign

entities who want to see chinese authority in hong kong diminish and in this case trump trump has said that since the freedom in hong kong has been extinguished there's no reason to give it special privileges on congo now be treated the same as male in journey no special privileges or special economic treatment and no export of sensitive technologies there's a whole host of sanctions that are going to be introduced against hong kong and chinese officials deemed responsible for introducing this new security bill there's a whole list of grievances that trump has towards china towards hong kong and it just keeps growing steadily but quickly there is for example the whole mess in the south china sea all the territorial claims that china has made there that the united states has condemned that is turning into a military conflict there's also the issue of china refusing to join any arms

control treaties that the united states wants them to be a part of this the huge trade surplus something that trump is hated from the get do so and of course i would say the most painful for an interim site the current virus pandemic big no mistake we hold china fully responsible for concealing the virus and unleashing it upon the world could have stopped it they should have stopped it . would have been very easy to do at the source when it happened to try them want to sell something to to europe to america this. all sorts of restrictions and all sorts of tariffs although kong was a little liberal window that belonged to china through which the chinese government to chinese companies could sell things to the west all buy things like sensitive technologies relatively simply with minimal tariffs now that's god there are more than a 1000 western companies that are based have offices in hong kong he's willing to through even his room under the bus to make china hurt for all the talk of free

markets and globalism they really seem to dislike competition because what you are way does is it makes 5 gtech for example amongst other things and it makes it cheap so how do you make people stop buying something that's cheap effective and make them turn expensive western analogs you do this by saying that chinese take is somehow tainted from the end of this year telecoms operators must not buy any 5 to equipment from huawei and once the telecoms critical is passed it will be illegal for them to do so the united states is going to do a lot of effort lot of effort in coercing and convincing its allies to dumb who our way which is a reputational blue for china you know this is this is it's brown this is a chinese brown and an economic blow you know just just to add insult to injury

trumpets come out and said that what is happening who are being kicked out of the united states out of europe is he's achievement we can bridge many countries many countries and i did this myself for the most work not to use well way. because we think it's an unsafe security risk it's a big security risk one thing you can say about the chinese is never rash the never reckless they always waited out of these like characteristics of. we can expect a response you have chinese press coming out and saying that you know action needs to be taken we need to assure them that we can't be bullied this easily so we can expect the response from china and now it's going to be a response on 2 fronts 1st what's happening in hong kong and what is happening to our way which is being essentially removed from western markets by the united states our senior correspondent or goes if there is committed 60 minutes past one

of the morning here in moscow either hopi weekends going good this is ahead as we revisit more the stories in the week reaction to another video that emerged showing a u.s. officer restraining a man using his knee attacks against police are on the rise to we'll take you through that it made big news in the week. it's politically impossible in the united states to advise eating listen to anything that has the industry behind it that makes a lot of money i'm. going to say over and over again we know what is healthy in these not much for one for one thing and even less is very very bad for business it doesn't make anybody rich if people eat less.

ah. no shots. actually. struck the 1st. point ch your thirst for action. warning next a chilling echo of the george floyd killing the lead to resurgent black lives matter riots video emerged earlier this week showing another officer restraining a man on the ground by leaning on his neck the police department says it's because

the man was behaving erratically it happened in the state of pennsylvania where an investigation is now underway and there are fresh protests after the disturbing video of the arrest spread rapidly online. we don't merit a brawl. the little one is announcing his name. the police came under attack in new york on wednesday 3 officers including a police chief were seriously injured on the brooklyn bridge while supervising a march against surging gun crime officers also came up against counter protesters which later saw clashes and 37 arrests in the week then retired philadelphia police captain ray lewis told us he's worried that officers and now is seen as the people's enemy by protesters.

took to. the backdrop of all this new york's experiencing a dramatic increase in gun violence figures out this week revealed a 70 percent rise in gun crime victims compared to the previous 12 month period the n.y.p.d. says that 40 percent of this year's gun crime has happened within the past 4 weeks new york's not the only city suffering either caleb maupin reported in the week. here it comes almost every day lately new footage emerges shown violence and shootings in american cities. do you. think. ringback there was a signal successful or straighten waiting for us to come under the bridge. and us

when she's got a shot. of. the next morning. going to pick a walk. in tell me a visit. even if it's the right filthy. floor in the setting for us out here for you know that what i like the whole neighborhood know down. the data speaks for itself by one crime is spiking in chicago milwaukee los angeles and new york city recently here in new york a one year old infant was struck by a stray bullet during a family barbecue they just broke me down and then when the doctors came out and told me to do this. but i. was also. now the rise in crime comes amid a debate all across us society about the role of the police now police unions are

blaming the spike in crime on unemployment the lockdown as well as the fallout of george floyd's killing and the recent police brutality protests this was a perfect storm we had a series of events that many of us probably never experienced in our time other voices are saying that it's economic hard times and lack of opportunity and hunger that is driving this recent spike in by. and crime maybe this has to do with the fact that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rags and so they go out and they need to feed their child and they don't have money so you will maybe have to they're put in a position where they feel like they either need to shoplift some bread or go hungry at night with violent crime on the rise of dorothy's are scrambling to try and find a solution meanwhile an end to the recent killings and violence on the streets doesn't seem to be anywhere near in sight martin artsy new york.

finally for now there's not a day to be wasted for america's 2020 presidential contenders trying to win over the hearts and minds of voters and while donald trump is up against it with his handling of the code 19 crisis we turn democratic rival joe biden has been mobilizing his family assess can tailor explain. you'll remember joe biden's wife joan you were very sure you were. very. well jill's back this time not as a husband's sister but as kozel thought over a children's book about joe's life which often was 78 years fills a full 27 pages well i gave it a read obviously the reviews in joey that's what they all cool to have ready sounds like a new round good guy a wizardly ability to catch

a ball just words not mine standing up to bullies president of his freshman class to rebut his only weakness and he himself admits it is talking was sometimes really difficult but you know what i think we can all agree he grew out of that let's not even bring it up. from the beginning it's clear that joe was really close with his parents and his siblings he often said quote the absolute most important thing is your family but didn't he also fought for the defense of marriage act back in the ninety's you know the one that said that a marriage is only between a man and a woman and that really became the reason that many same sex married couples never got the same rights or the same privileges as petras actual couples where is that but actually you know what never mind because it's since been brought up by john ellis and joe gave a really convincing defense in 1906 you voted for the defense of marriage act.

and a lovely person i am then there are a couple of pages about his colleges where they are quote he spent one summer as the only white lifeguard at a pool and in black neighborhood the reward thing to point out isn't it well but partly it was then that joe learned foster about the struggles of black america you know i wonder if it was the. so in those years that he had he decided he wasn't big on the whole integration of races and schools saying that if on controlled they could cause real problems unless we do something about this my children are going to grow up in a jungle the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions bills are high that is going to explode at some point but when he does that mucks up he did it off to roll defender of black pos mate when he was refused service in a joint hit they off he thinks this is what really counts not using your power as a u.s. senator trial and segregation possibly the biggest racial injustice in modern history

anyway moving on hold up here's a a cute picture of him with a little guy commuting to washington while some things never change. as a politician joe wanted to quote make people's lives better you know i think that's what the real motivation was behind his backing of the iraq invasion saddam is dangerous the world would be a better place without him and of course the welfare of nippy and was at the forefront of his mind when he said a ok to bombing not homeland can give the people of libya for the 1st chance in 4 decades to actually put together their own government have a little bit afraid of the upturn but hung on not chop dismissiveness whoa how

strange oh but this is my favorite my favorite part of the entire book and it's this treasure trove of uncle joe's most famous catchphrases so called biting as i say you can be inspired to go around saying things like your kids are just as birdy just as challenge week use hot ones not here well how about we truth truth over facts. also not included ok well that would definitely. go to show a little work going to worship what you do next note while maybe that keeping it for the sequel which fingers crossed will face off in the new york times bestseller list of fiction with a book written by men narnia trump telling a story of a young tommy who only have a drug but of reaching out and tearing down walls. there with the latest good read well as the way the news that took a turn over the last week as reported by us to you this is international for me the
