oh. repatriations forget the rest is that in the. bill of. rights report. to quote moscow time the biggest stories of the week is brought to you from r.t. international russia denies britain is that kids ations of meddling in last year's election or hacking its covert vaccine research. a damning study in germany shedding light on how vulnerable children are fostered by sex abusers for decades with the authorities apparently in the know some of the victims describe to us what they'd lived through. every day 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 and china has to retaliate after president trump provokes hong

kong's preferential trade status i don't feel sanctions on officials and institutions he believes are undermining the territories autonomy. international's world news h.q. here in moscow my name's kevin 0 in this is the weekly roundup of some of the big news stories of the last 7 days great to have you company. first then the russian ambassador to britain says there's no sense to the u.k. claims of 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 the 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 evolved in vaccine development with the likely intention of stealing the u.n. though says it's quote got no information about any alleged cyber theft of vaccine research we asked people that in london if they were worried about a perceived russian threat. i don't think it's connected to paper straight think sometimes i think these things will distract all people destroy 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 i think. he likes it i'd rather be blaming cummings before i blame russia i think they've got to be a puritan is trying to destabilize the rest of us or. make things

more. conducive for russian interests to be caught russian in the kind he takes to become like counterparts nothing like a bright sky kind of thing like a little precious anything else except it's very easy to point the finger isn't it is an old saying that when you point the finger i could see how many fingers are pointing back at you. indeed well we go reaction to the allegations from a former british politician also analysts and intelligence stuff. well it we go again highly likely almost start on days are long gone when the public believed is highly likely claims by british government ministers or mr starr's any well the public demands are of a higher standard of proof nowadays what do they mean by russian is this president putin that again sitting on radio. jock you months about the

national service. simply hard evidence wouldn't we to publish it if they're caught when what they mean by russian surely must mean russian security forces if they had evidence that russian security forces would kill chip into being in the u.k. general election not be pussyfooting around to release that information that would be headline news and every news outlet in this country and across the globe seized on by the. do you remember when the story broke because well last year it was called a leak back so it was something really coming out of government. for me some extra . agency so i think it's interesting that the now bringing this up to take a head of the publication of being a tourist russia. for years in

germany vulnerable young boys have been placed in the foster care of paedophile where the damning revelation is from a study by hilda some university which also says the authorities either ignored evidence of abuse or were complicit in letting it continue our europe correspondent peter all over in the week spoke with some of those 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. berlin authours 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 spin 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 that we 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 really 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 all the more troubling is that the lives of these men as well as others were essentially being toyed with. part of an experiment. rated psychologist helmet even after his death in 2008 was regarded as a founder of modern sex ology he was in effect a little more than a matchmaker putting neglected children into the care of predators. we learned about this experiment when daughter called in 2017 my thought was this can't be

true i was not a mere product of charms 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 pure bewilderment 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 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 it's 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 kempler 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 grew 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 us welfare authorities there has never been this state investigation into the actions of templar and his experiment. has 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 there. the berlin senate is 100 percent involved the bird in senate initiated it and then tolerated it it's already been admitted verbal eep 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 on able 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. states was expressly directed to protect. this is big news in the week china's relations with washington went from bad to worse with beijing threatening to retaliate against washington after president signed off on counseling hong kong preferential trade status trump also approved the hong kong autonomy act which 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 years side's attempts to obstruct implementation of handguns national security law will never succeed in order to save guard its own interests china will make the necessary spans and impose sanctions on relevant u.s. personnel and panties. so it seems there's a growing list of troubles between the 2 from distrust over the technology from territorial disputes ongoing in the south china sea and then of course came covert and our senior correspondent lines the major disputes that are driving the us 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 little criticism of the chinese government in hong kong for example it outlaws any calls for independence the session from china for hong kong

is well as outlawing publishing by by life in prison you know 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 and journal 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 though the whole mess in the south china sea while 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 on to sell something to to europe to america this. all sorts of restrictions and all sorts of tariffs all kong was a little liberal window that belonged to china through which the chinese government or the chinese companies could sell things to the west all by 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 analogues 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 are way which is

a reputational blue for china you know this is this is it's brad this is a chinese brown and an economic boom and you know just just to add insult to injury trump has come out and said that what is happening who are being kicked out of the united states out of europe is his achievement we can bridge many countries many countries and i did this myself for the most work not to use while 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 they 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 the century removed from western markets by the united states. it's international so much more to come i'd love to take you through highlights of the big stories of the week including this the break we revisit the reaction to another video which emerged showing a u.s. officer restraining a man using his knee attacks against police are on the rise too we'll tell you all about it in less than 2 minutes from now. it's politically impossible in the united states to advise eating anything there's an industry. that makes a lot of money. and going to say over and over again we know what. it means not much. for one and even less is very very bad

for business it doesn't make anybody rich if people eat less. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development the only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. again a chilling echo of the george floyd killing which led 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 investigation is now underway there were fresh protests then after the disturbing video of the arrest spread rapidly online. we don't merit a brawl. the alarmism now saying his name. 1 and then 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 and counter protesters attack which later saw clashes and 37 arrests.

retired philadelphia police captain ray lewis spoke to us in the week about it he's worried that officers and i was seen as the people's enemy by protesters. there are obviously much more concern nowadays with being attacked due to the actions of other officers because there is such a thing called the halo effect and that is now every officer is being asserted on as brutal and an enemy of the minority population the fact is these officers were it's fact. unnecessarily what disappointed me with this is you know i know the other protesters even push this guy away welcome to the ground focused weapon you want to win 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 opportunity confront the lack of education for black people these are the so yes that go into these protests. there's not a day to be wasted for america's 2020 presidential contenders trying to win over the hearts and minds of voters while donald trump's up against it with his handling of the covert 19 crisis meantime the democratic rival joe biden has been mobilizing as family into the job assess container explains. you'll remember joe biden's wife take new hampshire as a rally. while

jailed back this time not as hub husband system but as code will fuck off a children's book about life which i'll tell my 70th fills a full 20000 pages well i gave it a read obviously on the reviews and joe. that's what they all cool to have randy sounds like and be around 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 did he also vote 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 all the same privileges as petra sexual 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. 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 all black neighborhood the reward thing to point out isn't it well but barely it was then that joe learned foster about the struggles of black america you know i wonder if it was also in those years that he or she decided he wasn't big on the whole integration of races in schools saying that based 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 really does that matter he did after all defend a black classmate when he was refused service in a burger joint had they off you think this. this is what really counts not using your power as a u.s. senator to try and add 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 ok to bombing our homeland to 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 brainy just as challenge when cues. are ones not here well how about we choose truth over fracs all of us are not included ok well but definitely you cannot go to go to work and don't think you don't worship a sure you do not know well 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 tony who in need of a drug to reaching out and tearing down walls. so they were the latest best read out if obviously just for now but us the way the news took a turn over the last week as reported by us to you this is international to me in the team of cheating here today big thanks for taking the time to achieve this weekend reporting from moscow i'm kevin. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in

every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids it invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she just goes after dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer who's to blame patients doctors manufacturers the government. financials i don't buy a i pod on a futures. think of the 5. i supply some of my xmas truck up watch kaiser.

controls. she did a good job ignoring any inconvenience studies denmark and scientists charge that shocking the use dietary guidelines have finally soured on sugar recommending an almost youthful reduction in daily consumption for bold adults and children with almost 60 percent of americans suffering from a distant one died in jesus disease and therefore facing a much higher risk of call that night in complications did vice things long overdue you but is it strong enough jurors the obesity and other related pandemics well to discuss that i'm now joined by maranatha professor emeritus of nutrition foot studies and public health at new york university and bestselling author present

nestle and i'm such a big fan of yours thank you very much for it rains it talks yards i'm very happy to be here thanks now for most of our international audience the u.s. dietary guidance napalm across as this obscure or boring the manuscript that has little or no or impact on that own lives but i happen to believe that this is actually one of the most impactful public health documents in the world with influence often harmful influence spawning far beyond the united states is that an exaggeration well it does in some ways and not others really know what healthy diets dietary recommendations have not changed since the 1st recommendation started getting issued for chronic disease prevention in the 1950 the basic dietary recommendations are balanced calorie intake

a lot of fruits and vegetables and to avoid foods that have a. session set salted sugar in the days you guidelines for americans have said that every 5 years since 1008. and the new ones are going to say exactly the same things because we know what a healthy diet is well but you know as you like to say it it definitely is and the details add well barack is the united states as projecting a lot of our on the rest of the well people want to be like the americans they want to eat like the americans they want to business like the americans and it may be good in other areas but when it comes to nutrition in public how is that really that have other countries want you to follow because they doesn't accommodations that react talking about their influencing school lunches they're influencing what people have sat in hospital their influence and what people give up that's etc and

a large degree there are also influencing the behavior of the practices of big multinational that today's iraq. yeah they're enormously influential in the odd ways but they're written in a euphemism and they're written in euphemisms because it's politically impossible in the united states to advise eating less of anything that has a industry behind it and that makes a lot of money. as i'm going to say over and over again we know what a healthy diet is it means not too much for one for one thing and eating less is very very bad for business it doesn't make anybody rich if people lead less food other covert 19 pandemic has illustrated harrop orange it is for people.
