in the stories that shaped the way tehran r.t. russia denies britain's accusations of meddling in last year's election or hacking its vaccine research. study in germany sheds light on how vulnerable children were forced to by sex abusers for decades with the authorities apparently aware of what was happening some of the victims told us what they went 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 go on the table to work and we have become aware that we are just a pile of misery and china has to retaliate after president provokes hong kong preferential trade status and them fail sanctions on officials and institutions he

believes are undermining the territories. that welcome the latest developments and a look back at what's been happening over the last 7 days to you watching a weekly here on r.t. international now the russian ambassador to britain says there is no sense to the u.k. claims about russian meddling britain on thursday accused moscow of interfering in last year's general election and also of hacking medical research for a coronavirus. that 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 for credit cards 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 well 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 there would has quote no information about any alleged cyber theft of vaccine research we asked people in london if they were worried about a perceived russian threat. i don't think it's connected to paper shrinking from trials offering these fingal destruct job you know just a smokescreen you know just to you know distract us from what's really going on sounds like this pretty good evidence that it was from russian hackers so yeah it doesn't surprise me there's a lot at stake. here in this election i'd rather be blaming incomings before these things they've got to be a puritan is trying to destabilize the west and so. to make things.

more conducive for russian interests to make russian explained it is like a card like after half nothing like a red scare kind of thing like old pressure so even i think that's kind of 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 you. know we've got reaction to this to the allegations from a former british politician analysts and also intelligence stuff. well here we go again highly likely of course of days are long gone when the public believes he's highly likely claims by british government ministers or megastars anywhere the public demands are of a higher standard of growth. or do they mean by russian is this president putin that again sitting on radio. jock your motor boat the

national oil service. give me hard evidence wouldn't we to publish it 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 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 the story broke as well last year or it was called a leak it 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 of screener tourist russia and reports. now for years in germany from report young boys had been placed in the foster care of

paid to file men the damning revelations from a study by his hind university which also says too that the authorities either ignored evidence of abuse or 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 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 the 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 particularly bothers us is that the names of those responsible are missing but there must be a for. 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 flow experiments have 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 us welfare authorities there has never been this state investigation into the actions of templar and his experiment in senator's 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 can be limited 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 me to go action today after having. 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 leap but not legally from the very beginning the only thing that mattered to them was how to keep the problem small criminal charges were put forward we file charges in the senate kept in touch with those 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 horrible wing story of exploitation and failure to protect the states was expressly directed to protect. china's relations with washington went from bad to worse this week with beijing threatening to retaliate against washington after president trump signed off on canceling hong kong's preferential trade status from puerto 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 though during

a strong response from beijing. the u.s. sides towns to obstruct the implementation of handguns national security law will never succeed in order to save guard its own interests china will make the necessary sponsors and impose sanctions on relevant u.s. personnel and entities. well there is a growing list of troubles between the 2 from distrust over the technology from huawei to territorial disputes in the south china sea and then of course came cove it our senior correspondent mary gaz now 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 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 by by life in prison

even mingling with the wrong crowds or 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 the trumpeters hated from the get to sue and of course i would say the most painful for an interim site the crew in a 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 all 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 by things like sensitive technologies relatively simply with minimal tariffs now that's god there are more than a 1000 western companies that. 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 critics 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. plot a lot of effort in coercing and convincing its allies to dom 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 blow 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 convinced 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 never rash the never recklessly 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 show 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 or against the of their national comfy way on the weekly will look at the reaction to another video which emerged showing a u.s. officer straining a man using his knee attacks against police are on the rise to take you through that just after the break. you can be both with the yeah you like. the world is driven by dreamers shaped by our own personal those with.

no dares thinks. we dare to ask. hello again now it is a chilling i carry with you george floyd killing which led to the black lives massive protest video emerged early this week showing another officer restraining a man on the ground by leaning on his neck the police department says it is because

the man was behaving erratically it happened in the state of pennsylvania where an investigation is now underway there were demonstrations after the disturbing video of the arrest was posted on why. we don't murder broke. the law his amazing his leg. and then the police came under attack in new york on wednesday 3 offices there including a police chief were seriously injured on the brooklyn bridge while supervising a march against soaring gun crime officers also came up against counter protesters which later saw clashes and 37 arrests. going. to get. overtime philadelphia police captain ray lewis told us he is worried that

offices are 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's such the same 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 tracked totally unnecessarily what disappointed me with this is no no the other protesters even pushed this guy away took them to the ground truck his weapon you want to went over her. 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 so huge that go into these protests. well the backdrop to all of this is new york is experiencing a dramatic increase in gun violence because at this week to reveal a 70 percent rise in gun crime victims compared saying the previous 12 month period the n.y.p.d. says that 40 percent of this year's crime actually happened within the past 4 weeks new york is not the only city southridge suffering even it's been reports. almost every day lately new footage emerges showing violence and shootings in american cities. do you. think.

ringback they was a significant cycle or straighten waiting for us to come under the bridge. on us when she's got shot. the next morning. going to kill are. going to tell me a date of his. favorite. philbin. in the setting 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 opportunities and hunger that is driving this recent spike in violent crime maybe this has to. do it the fact that people aren't paying their rent and are scared to pay their rats 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 that night with violent crime on the rise of dorothy's are scrambling to try and find a solution meanwhile and and to the recent killings and violence on the streets doesn't seem to be anywhere near in sight martin are to new york. 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 covert 19 crisis that my credit rival joe biden has been mobilizing his family with us to tailor explains. you'll remember joe biden's wife doing you very very. very. well jill's back this time not as a husband's sister but as cool thought of a children's book about joe's life which i'll tell my 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 be around good guy a wizardly ability to catch a ball just words not mine standing up to bullies president of his freshman class really has 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 all the same privileges as petra sexual couples where is the

opposite actually oh 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 quickly and a lovely person i am then there are a couple of pages about his college is 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 is an ant well but barely was then the job learned foster about the struggles of black america you know i wonder if it was. so windows he has the hunch he decided he wasn't big on the whole integration of races in schools saying that the fun 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 it's 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 trying and segregation possibly the biggest racial injustice in modern history anyway moving on hold up his a a cute picture of him with the 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 fighting as i say you can be inspired to go around saying things like your kids are just as bernie just as challenge work use ha ha ones not here well how about we truth truth over fact. all of us are not included ok well but definitely you can go to juggle work and. worship the sure 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
