my. god. you're. in a stories that saves the we cannot save paedophiles foster children in germany for decades a new report reveals the new foresees knew all along we hear from the victims. 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 are being destroyed we are unable to work and we have become aware that we are just a pile of misery. much of rejects claims that meddled in last year's election in the u.k. although they tried to steal information on the country's coronavirus vaccine. and china says it will hit back following president trump's revoking of hong kong special trade status.

a warm welcome this is the weekly here on r.t. international bringing you all the latest world news headlines along with the stories that shaped the week. now known paedophiles had been fostering young boys in germany for yes that's the finding of a new report in the country which claims the or thirty's either turned a blind eye or were complicit in lessing it continue peter all of us has been speaking to some of the victims. 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 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 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. venerated 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. and what particularly bothers us is that the names of those responsible are missing but there must be a firm. 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 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 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 understate observation the things that occur in foster homes we examined could not have happened without the knowledge of officials in the u. 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 of makes them accomplices in the crimes and in moscow of pushing for me to go 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 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 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 her ruling story of exploitation and failure to protect the state who is expressly directed to protect. the russian ambassador to britain has outright rejected claims by the british government that moscow has been meddling again london has accused russia of trying to influence

last year's election of trying to steal information on the u.k.'s corona virus vaccine. that 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. u.s. and canadian security services backed britain's claims they say a russian hacking group targeted various organizations trying to develop a vaccine well the people in london about the perceived threat from russia. i don't think it's connected to play her straight think sometimes often these things will distract up you know just to a smokescreen you know just to um 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 the take. action during the election i'd rather be blaming cummings before i blame russia i think they've got to be a putin is trying to destabilize the rest of us or. make things. more. conducive for russian interests to be caught russian in the kind if you take this kind of like now to perhaps nothing like the french guy kind of thing like a little precious everything else kind of complex and it's very easy to point the finger isn't it is an old saying you know that's ok when you point the finger take a look see how many fingers are pointing back at you with the reaction to the allegations from a former british politician analysts and intelligence staff. well here we go again highly likely 1 almost certain the days are long gone when the public believed how the likely claims by british government ministers or

mr starr's any well the public demands are of our standoff broke nowadays what do they mean by russian stars is this president putin again sitting on radio was it doing our job here months ago the national health service. simply hard evidence wouldn't we to publish it if they're caught when what they mean by russian are surely must mean russian security forces if they had evidence that russian security forces were gilgit into being in the u.k. . general election you're not getting around information that would be headline news or news don't work in this country and across the globe seized on by the americans. do you remember when the story broke as well last year it was called a leak it wasn't called a hack so it was some sort of coming out of government while the from the some

extent or at the top agency so i think it's interesting that the now bringing this up particular head of the publication of screen a tourist russia. china vowed this week to strike back against the u.s. after president trunk counselled hong kong special trade status and approved sanctions on those involved in a new security bill. the u.s. sides attempts to obstruct the implementation of handguns national security law will never succeed in order to save guard its interests china will make the necessary response and impose sanctions on rove and u.s. personnel and entities. relations between the 2 countries have been souring for some time with territorial and trade disputes and the impact from what trump has branded the chinese flu. has more. 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 out lose 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 to sue 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. it would have been very easy to do at the source when it happened to try them on to sell something to europe to america there's 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 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 who 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 they 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 glue 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 trump has come out and said that what is happening who are way 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. never rush the never recklessly always waited out these like characteristics are 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 a response from john 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 said she removed from western markets by the united states. video emerged this week of another us police officer kneeling on the neck of a man while trying to restrain him an investigation is now underway in pennsylvania where the instant took place and just one with the killing of george floyd the video sparked immediate protests. if you don't murder broke. the law on his neck saying his name. the. police also came under attack in new york this week 3 officers including a police chief were seriously injured on brooklyn bridge during a march against rising gun crime violence erupted when counter protesters appeared and dozens were arrested.

where science place comes in ray lewis fears offices of being portrayed as the enemy of the people. 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 tracked totally unnecessarily what disappointed me with this is none of the other protesters even pushed this guy away to come 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 the like people these are so huge that go into these protests should . be more than 6 years since war erupted in eastern ukraine and despite a lack of media coverage these days it still going on pro-government forces are still fighting rebels in the south proclaimed republics of the guns gunned down yet skinned people are still dying on the battlefield but as he goes down of explains those killed are always ukrainian. a ukraine army soldier dies in combat is called married grabs a squad of brothers in arms and ventures out on

a recovery mission from a. month and you can only refer to this video would become his last though and he key of rebel forces recovered the camera from the body of mccall in after his life was ended by a landmine. and unfortunate death unlucky even he wasn't shot in combat he wasn't even a target he simply ran at the wrong time in the wrong direction and too fast in his own demise but well soldiers die it's just the gruesome nature of the ukrainian war zone the fighting between the state army and forces loyal to the self-proclaimed dinette scandal ganske republics has been going on for years yet this death caught the gaze of the united states i want to express you know says deep sadness at the

reporter killing yes to every korean military medic who joined the people have you created condemning the ongoing prudent aggression of russia that forces in the us and pay tribute to ukrainians killed and wounded fighting for their democracy well . got it all wrong because ellen was and is still me and citizen not a ukrainian he was also a mercenary and had a badge weeding medic his commander straight up lied claiming that he and his squad had been dressed in white vests and helmets the footage from ellen's body can clearly shows they were indistinguishable from regular combatants here's a photo we got from the rebels it's black and white and even to a color blind person the vest of the medic here is not white again. this green on green chevron was the only medic designation discovered on the body

alongside munition a k a rifle and a heap of grenades and according to a conversation allegedly found in his phone dylan didn't exactly come to ukraine to save lives he listened to me there is a herd of ukrainian pigs which need to be put in the stable they are degenerates they do need a white master we will bring them to heal and then screw we we've got things to do blacks should be faced down it seems the only white thing about this medic was his racism but there could be more than simple lack of research behind compos condemnation of the killing the us secretary of state could be concerned of american guns for hire also fighting on the frontlines in ukraine in the same unit as the medic here is shown pull out a proud texan an iraq war veteran and squad mate who even used to be presumed dead by the forces until verse video. you'd be shown still alive here it's

virgil a 17th. shaun fuller from texas syria hardened damien gonzalez from new york justin from florida these are just some photos discovered on the phone of this stone ian ukraine's front line is apparently guarded by the foreign legion 2.0 and the u.s. state department is known to do more than just track american mercs back in 2011 for instance its reach went so far beyond that it was on the verge of commanding a force made up of the likes of full and cold so no wonder really illinois death god on washington's raiders so quickly and stirred such concern not because he's a medic but because an american might be next the strategic goal of the us military industrial complex is simply to create trouble for russia so they

certainly do know in general what's going on quite sure there are international connections to the people who are fighting in the. world alone really fear that is quite possible that people in the deep state in the us will engineer provocations so the political leadership will then force to take decisions which they perhaps don't really well just don't really want to change and that's not all because in wasn't some stray soldier of fortune and hickey of fighters discovered official ukrainian army papers on him this story and was even eligible for benefits from the ukrainian government as a thank you for his service after all guns aren't hired for free and with american mercs officially enlisted in the ukrainian army the united states might expect some security guarantees from the commander in chief from self president vladimir. now

it's not just him and his friends in washington who know about foreign guns doing ukraine's bidding in the war and both kiev and the us would want to keep ukraine's own little foreign legion and become of large. well following the death of the soldier a local ukrainian prosecutor's office is open to an investigation into potential premeditated murder the country's foreign minister has promised the death will not go unnoticed by ukraine's international partners the u.s. embassy in ukraine has responded by condemning the continuous brutal aggression by russian led forces in the donbass. biden will attempt to unseat donald trump from his throne in november but while the great rivals are the only 2 that make the headlines they are the only ones with their eyes on the oval office 3rd party candidates and independents are running too and the green party has chosen its nominee how we hawkins from new york is a formal lorry driver and grassroots campaigner he's previously run for office at

every level of government in new york from city council to gov hawkins wants to boost education and extend health care to all americans he's also known for his antiwar anti nuclear efforts the green party has been fielding candidates in presidential elections since 1960 as things currently stand hawkins only appears on the ballot in half of the country states but the party is hoping for more it's a complicated process with each state having different rules to get on the ballot but perhaps the biggest challenge is getting air time hawkins told r.t. this week though that there is a growing out of sight for electoral alternatives if you go. the polls show that about 2 thirds of the american people would like to see and know their major already an alternative to the 2 major parties that we have now. a lot of those people who come to the green party 3rd parties in this country going back to the 1830 set the agenda it was

a liberty party to put the question of slavery all about our business our east questionable markets on the quality gender it was the socialist party the social insurance programs like social security program. into the public debate so we made our way in the white house we're definitely going to move the debate the green party represents very different policies we're not you know just democrats who are disgruntled they're something we do want a universal medical system medicare for all we do want serious climate action we stand against the us going to do countries and tell them who their leader should be we're for peace initiative big cuts in military spending and getting serious about this new nuclear arms race the green party's presidential nominee back in 2016 proved to be a polarizing figure many in the media accuse jill stein of splitting the liberal vote and harming hillary clinton's campaign. tonight the dangers of

a 3rd party candidate democratic year and frustration is growing something here is that the votes belong to hillary clinton and that that my votes were stolen from someone else and i think that's an insult to american voters what do you say to those voters who are would worry that by voting for you their progress is their liberals or democrats that by voting for you they would actually help like donald trump his politics of fear actually delivered everything that we were afraid of so the 2 parties form what sounds like a government commission it's called commission on presidential debates in fact it's a private corporation they jointly control taken and it's designed to keep their competitors offstage and you know our appeal to this news organizations the civic organizations is don't let the artist set the agenda do your job open up the debate where can people deserve to know what all their options are the clock is rapidly taking down to november's presidential election in the u.s. and with donald trump taking

a bouncer and go over his handling of the coronavirus his rival joe biden has smelled blood and he's using his family to go in for the kill this story is there are plenty of pages in southeast tennis weekly diary. you'll remember joe biden's wife don't you very very. very. well jill's back this time not as a husband's sister but as cohen will thaw over 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 jules what's not mine standing up to bullies president of his freshman class really 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 to where you source. 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. and a lovely person. thank you 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 apparently it was then that joe learned foster about the struggles of black america you know i wonder if it was the. so when those he has the house he 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 when he does that mocks up he did offer to roll defender of black last may when he was refused service in a joint hit they off you think this this is what really counts not using your power as a u.s. senate such 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 food front of his mind when he said a ok to bombing a homeland give the people of libya for a 1st chance in 4 decades to actually put together their own government have a little bit of freedom the opportunity 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 by.
