u.s. officials raid the chinese consulate in houston to ride on after it's vacated on washington's orders the u.s. secretary of state calls on other nations to join forces against china also ahead. and witnesses another night of chaos u.s. federal troops use tear gas and rubber bullets to break up a box of this. they face must the law takes effect in england's failure to wear them in public places can mean a hefty fine but so far the reaction has been mixed. for those

who've been insulted i think it's important to about maybe serious business think there's a lot of times that goes behind i think we shouldn't be the one thing from the beginning. to run the clock across the world. international from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome. our top story the chinese foreign ministry has accused the us of violating international law by breaking into its consulate in houston beijing has vowed to retaliate american agents were seen forcing their way through the back door right after chinese officials were required to vacate the building the raid happened on friday president trump ordered the closure earlier in the week accusing beijing of stealing intellectual property while the justice department claimed consular staff were obstructing the investigation officials said they had been

implicated in their fraud probe by a texas research institution meanwhile in the chinese city of chengdu the american consulate has been shut. there have been allegations that both nations were seeking to get rid of sensitive information some footage captured a man taking rubbish bags i'd of the building in chengdu one of the bags appeared to contain shredded paper. well in a related development a chinese researcher who has been arrested in san francisco. is accused of not disclosing her military affiliations in her visa application she's one of 4 bits of being researchers who have recently been accused of visa fraud beijing has condemned the crackdown on urged the united states to stop harassing chinese students and researchers at all quarters been looking at the ongoing escalation.

since the 1970 s. u.s. foreign policy has used more honey than vinegar and its dealings with beijing china has definitely changed as a result but not exactly the way washington wanted it to you know the world was much different than we imagine think usually which on it would produce a future with bright promise of comedy and cooperation. but today today we're all still wearing masks and watching the pandemics body count rise because the c.c.p. failed in its promises to the world if we want to have a free 21st century and not the chinese century of which dreams. the old paradigm of blinding gauge with china simply won't get it done speech seems to have a lot in common with that of winston churchill's when he declared an iron curtain had descended across europe dividing it into soviet and western spheres it was the beginning of the cold war and with pump ails us against them rhetoric another cold war between the u.s. and china may be brewing this isn't about containment don't buy that. it's about

a complex new challenge that we've never faced before. the u.s.s.r. was closed off from the free world communist china is already within our borders washington's hostile stance is no doubt part of a recent pitfall in sino u.s. relations while waistband in the u.s. accusations of tech that disputes in the south china sea it's all reminding experts of a warning former president richard nixon made decades ago we must cultivate join a jury in the next few decades want it is learning to develop its national strength and potential otherwise we will one day be confronted with the most of the middle enemy that has ever existed in the history of the world unfortunately for washington nixon was right when he was president china was still an economically backwards country with its eyes on rapid development fast forward to the present and the communist parties accomplished much of what it set out to do it's lifted millions out of abject poverty it led the country to. what looks like

a quick recovery from the covert 1000 pandemic it doesn't seem willing to stop in the face of washington statements that you compose remarks which ignore facts and often of ideological bias and cold war mentality are a hodgepodge of political lies intensively made recently by senior u.s. officials accusations of human rights abuses authoritarian name calling pump alles even label china's system a new tyranny it does all sound a bit crusade but then again it's nothing new in america's foreign policy playbook the troika of tyranny in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its match pressers regimes and ideologies forces of oppression to tell a tear in ism and domination well despite the trumpet ministrations best efforts the so-called troika of tyranny is still around even where u.s. backed regime change was successful it's still no walk in the park in iraq the government is basically powerless to combat militias that see it as

a us puppet and in countries where the u.s. failed like venezuela it's a huge waste of taxpayer money china though is a lot more powerful and with u.s. allies unwilling to get behind this new strategy paul might need to rethink his approach because. the work has already. started and actually in my opinion corners to work between china and america has now much talk during a positive because the united states has never spoke to you know we are thinking of cold war talk to wouldn't do thinking about it china the whole world is a very. rich country. more. into war into war death fancy specially issue a decision to question for many people to understand i think that if you do united stated do you really need to and who would be in interference or other countries.

domestic affairs. we're going to keep tension on the u.s. now because you have another standoff is unfolding in the city of portland on friday night federal troops fired tear gas and rubber bullets at a crowd of activists who were marching on the courthouse and police say there were brutal clashes between protesters with enough rick an american trump supporter reportedly stopped by and on teeth a member. federal forces were sent in earlier this week by the president to quell increasingly

violent anti racism protests some residents and business owners have complained their city has been turned into a war zone by the riots but more than a dozen u.s. murders most of them democrats voice the law over the federal crackdown on the u.s. and there's no outing its concern over the security response. peaceful demonstrations that have been taking place and citizen the u.s. such as portland really might be able to continue with that those positions beaten them and i'll say the people reporting and the journalists risk an arbitrary address to detention being subject to unnecessary disproportionate discriminatory use of force or suffering other violations of the rights well since the riots started in portland 18 people have been arrested on charges including arson vandalism we heard from some of those involved in the protest movement. heart of

the drum circle. was 30. 3330. have to go with just the right with the rubber bullet. the rebirth of. imminent face coverings are not among the tree in all public spaces but it's raised the question over who should monitor compliance it's a major retailers and smaller shops to are saying it's not up to them to enforce the new rules or u.k. correspondent isa ali reports. provide a it's now mandatory for people in england to wear a face mask when they go to shop supermarket or they go to pick up a delivery now we're going to go on to the streets of london to try to see what the

public think they should done this before coronavirus point. the fact that it's running one people 100 pounds. and probably money out of people's health just that that makes a perfect picture of government. i think we should have been implemented from the beginning. i think it's important to abide by these was busy i think there's a lot of science that goes behind coming up with these rules most of the shops that i went into weren't really forcing the rules and those that were just said that they would recommending people to where mosques to cover their faces now many of those shop workers don't want to be enforcing those rules because they fear aggression and backlash from certain members of the public if they were to try to make people wear masks with hundreds of incidents of violence and abuse directed at retail stuff every day we welcome there now it's meant that in force meant to be left to their thoughts rather than potentially put in hard work in retail

colleagues in harm's way if. someone refuses to wear a face mask probably we can kindly asked him to leave but as to enforcing it it's not viable it will be certain people who will be upset about it. and they did the most controlling boss for us also as well is a weekend in $45.00 encourage people to have it but. god knows how we can and sort of the government of said that those who refused to wear face masks when going into shops could be fined up to $100.00 pounds should an individual without an exemption refuse to wear a face covering a shop can refuse them entry and can call the police if people refuse to comply the police have full into. pounds and can issue a fine and the police don't seem to be too keen either saying that making them in force that is both unrealistic. policing the wearing of face coverings in shops

can't be a priority because we simply don't have the resources to expect my colleagues to be policing the supermarket aisles looking for those shoppers not wearing a face covering is unrealistic and unfair the u.k. has had one of the worst coronavirus death tolls of any country around the world there are some who say that these measures all better late than never but many others who feel that it's far too little thought through. in jerusalem have been protesting against the under-fire israeli prime minister demonstrators gathered in front of benjamin netanyahu is residents in the city as well. $250.00 intersections across the country 5 people were arrested we know at least for disturbing public order courting to police and those detentions look set to continue rallies against the economic fallout of the covert pandemic and

turkish consulate in the city. i mean this is a totally barrack and on civilized turning highness of fear into a mosque this actually goes against all of the docs people this is not trite from the turkish because they have been your churches to create to. friday's muslim prayers drew crowds of worshippers who filled the nearby square turkey's president . was also in attendance surrounded by senior officials they turkish leader participated in the service and recited verses from the. he then expressed his delight the reconversion. you seek to live in them. this is been a yearning since our youth we used to say let the chains break and highest fear open as a mosque we've ended an 86 year period of highest fear has now returned to its essence it was a mosque and it's a mosque again thank you well let's just remind about the history of i originally

it was built by be eastern roman empire as a cathedral then it became a mosque after the ottoman conquest in 1035 it was converted into the newseum but earlier this month turkey transformed it back into a mosque the you need to ask tourist populace a former greek ambassador to canada believes the change in sofia status is down to the president attempting to take attention away from a troubled economy. well i think that he was doing it all maybe also for internal reasons because his popularity is dropping now in that turkey because of the economic crisis and also by russia is that he is trying to put down. the. founder of modern turkey so this is an attack also against the demolished regime in turkey so basically it's an internal problem that has

international ramifications i don't think that he cares anything about statements being done the only thing that she might care would be if concrete measures were taken like the e.u. taking sanctions against against turkey for violating international law and violating that there is a real integrity of 2 of its member states which is greece and cyprus we must not forget that the e.u. has taken sanctions against russia for reasons much less. and which which i personally don't agree with or met yet it refuses or the moment to take sanctions. the chief of a u.k. arts charice he has accused british museums of being hypocritical in their support of the black lives modeler movement a road from to seize the institutions that 1st relinquish items in their collections taken by force from africa he spoke to r.t.

. you've got to clean up your own house before you talk to other people and. it's contradictory really to not have don't go home issued a colonial program and also the law could go. to work. also and also support those matters incompatible to me. after several high profile galleries and museums responded to the black lives matter movement with words of support the british museum as director for example wrote a blog post last month seeing the institution stands in solidarity with black people throughout the world well let's take a look at some of them the british museum itself has been under pressure for years to return works of art looted from former colonies they've been bronze is taken by

british soldiers from nigeria the greek parthenon marbles easter island statue as well u.k. legislation currently prevents national institutions from returning looted items in their collections except in the case of art stolen during the nazi era but a british museum spokesperson said the institution is working on changes when it comes to displaying the objects and is being opened up by the history of the collections are all fronts as though. role of newseum. and also the means by which they shouldn't be assembled is being questioned this quote a lot of documentation about how these objects came into the possession of the museum the we need to know is whether or not it was taken with consent when asking for a new kind of music that is more humanitarian and pays greater attention to human

rights. armenia and azerbaijan are locked in a deadly border dispute now on the show we have are not being felt here in moscow which is home to large communities from both countries more than 30 people have been arrested in a string of incidents in the latest law sure group of azerbaijani men were caught on camera smashing the windows open armenian cafe a member of staff was reportedly assaulted just a few hours earlier a group of armenians vandalized the owners of a johnny restaurant beating up staff and allegedly reading the cash register and on thursday a car with an armenian number plate was smashed up the driver attacked moscow police have issued a warning to both community saying offenders could be deported and blacklisted for 5 years earlier this month the 2 countries saw their deadliest cross border shelling since 2016 with a dozen and 5 for many and soldiers killed. in the u.s. a bomb on

a vixens meant to soften the blow of the coronavirus crisis has expired but being millions of americans at risk of losing their homes it comes as the dealy infection rate shows little sign of slowing down and reports. with the united states hit harder than any other nation by the corona virus things to be getting worse with many americans becoming a lot more vulnerable very soon after the eviction ban is lifted millions of americans who are rants. who live in buildings with mortgages backed by the government could soon be out on the streets here in new york the record trends of folks that were applying for temporary housing in the shelter system more than what we had seen and many many missing years and there has not been a response in terms of how we will address of course opening back up with people facing eviction so we're looking at just about thousands tens of thousands of

families and households facing homelessness many for the 1st time in their lives now aside from the huge social shock this is also a public health emergency all of those who've been turned out of their homes will huddle together with relatives or seek shelter when hope 19 was added. it was a fight to try to get our elected officials to understand that folks need to be isolated and wanted to keep them safe from cope 19 so we found that a lot of our homeless by this it says. would actually avoid going into a shelter knowing that they were overcrowded and cubase and for the spread of over 19 and they would have rather it stay on the street whether that been an incoming web know whether that would have been without the proper resources on the street the pandemic has brought the u.s. economy to a standstill it appeared that the surge in job losses was subsiding but this past

week job loss numbers have been rising once again many fear that the u.s. economy is too weak to swiftly recover surgery $3000000.00 americans are officially unemployed now the $600.00 per week unemployment inhance meant is currently set to expire it could be extended if congress chooses to do that but it appears that's unlikely at the moment. unfortunately by all accounts the senate republicans are drafting legislation that comes up short in a number of vital areas such as extending unemployment benefits or funding for rental assistance hazard premium pay for frontline workers or investments in communities of color being ravaged by the virus and many other unnecessary provisions the u.s. senate is currently deadlocked over the economic stimulus bill with many hoping that it will pass in august meanwhile the infection rates in a number of u.s.

states are rising and as it appears that a number of americans are on the brink of losing their incomes and their homes the situation in the united states regarding the pandemic is starting to look pretty bleak cable mop and artsy new york of up is a lot is it for me for the day to show we here at the top of the hour taking you through the moscow night don't stray too far no i though more great our programs get going in moments about. capitalism in the united states abandon the united states the leading capitalists in this country are now global capitalist grab that that leaves the best middle class without jobs without a future it's a disaster here covered over with a list either but the reality is

a disaster and it was good from work you would see other people in merging trying to make a political career by clicking there. i 1st heard about. from the helicopter folks in iraq. i think that downer people are going to be going to its military who have never forgiven or forgotten frater the truth of the book and a little bit of it we saw it was really starting to happen. in the pentagon journalese says you've heard some serious a lot of problems to outnumber the audience. the idea of developing an anonymous digital top dogs and appliance and media and since it's something that was
