you don't have a life person. i don't see him dying. and . that's what he's saying. u.s. officials raided the chinese consulate in houston right 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. portland witnesses another night of chaos as u.s. federal troops lose rubber bullets to break up a crowd of activists. and mask a log takes effect in england failure to wear them in public places. but so far the

reaction has been mixed. and still is that i think it's important to abide by these rules because i think there's a lot of times that goes behind i think he should be let me say from the beginning . from our studios in moscow this is our team international and john thomas is certainly glad to have you with us you are now the chinese foreign ministry has accused the u.s. 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 ordered the closure earlier in the week accusing beijing of stealing intellectual property while the justice department claimed consular staff were observed obstructing an investigation fisher said that they had been implicated in a fraud probe at a texas research institution meanwhile the chinese city of chengdu the american consulate there has been shut down. measure have also been allegations that both

nations were seeking to get rid of sensitive information some footage captured a man taking garbage bags outside of the consulate building in chengdu one of the bags split and appeared to contain shredded paper. in a related development a chinese researcher has been arrested in san francisco tung john is accused of not disclosing her military affiliations in her visa application she's one of 4 visiting researchers who have recently been accused of these of fraud beijing has condemned the crackdown and urged the united states to stop harassing chinese students and researchers are done quarter comments now on 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 you shouldn't which and 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 being 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 pomp 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 jointed during 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 party has 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. pump who is 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 pompei was even labeled china's system a new tyranny it does all sound a bit crusading but then again it's nothing new in america's foreign policy playbook the tree 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 pelle might need to rethink his

approach because. the world has already. started and actually in my opinion the show corners code 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 who were very clear which country we tracked him an issue to me is more terror in the world into war death fancy specially issue a decision to question for many people to understand i think that if you do united states would do you really need to and ruling in interference in the other countries. domestic i fish. yet another standoff is unfolding in the u.s. city of portland 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 an african-american trump supporter reportedly stabbed by an activist. federal forces were sent in earlier this week by president trying to quell increasingly violent anti-racism protests some residents and business owners have complained of their city has been turned into a war zone by the riots but more than a dozen u.s. mayors most of them democrats have voiced alarm over the federal crackdown and the

u.n. is now adding its concern over the security response. peaceful demonstrations that have been taking place in cities in 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 discriminants or use of force or suffering other violations of the your rights. all right since the riots started in portland $800.00 people have been arrested on charges including are some and vandalism we heard from some of those involved in the protest movement . right at the red card by the drum circle oh when even the cars were just barely 30. $3335.00 that. i knew dinner would sit right with a rubber bullet. like. you just i don't think. i

have i here. we. revert to. earlier i spoke with ray lewis a retired philadelphia police captain who believes a new commission needs creating it to bring an end to the protests i have never seen anything like this in my lights and it just shows the anger and hostility of the people who have been finally awoken to the injustices of this country and they're not going to take it anymore they're fed up they also searched these federal agents from all parts of the government they are going way beyond just right they are actually instigating the problems they are instigating the violence by their actions what washington is going to have to do when this is going to be under a new administration before we is to commission. and these commissions

are going to consist of the people who have suffered under white supremacy. in england face coverings are now mandatory in all public spaces but it has raised the question over who should monitor compliance some major retailers and smaller shops as well are saying that it's not up to them to enforce the new rules our u.k. correspondent reports. provide a it's now mandatory for people in england to wear a face mask when they go to shop for the supermarket so 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 went into lockdown the fact that it's running one people 100 pounds. and probably money out of people's health just that that kind of public picture of government. i think we should have been implemented from the beginning. i think it's important to abide by these rules

because 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 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 then ousmane that in force meant to be left to their thoughts rather than potentially put in hard working retail colleagues in harms 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 it's viable it will be certain people who would be upset about it. and indeed

the most controlling boss for us also as well is a weekend in short if you can always encourage people to have it but. god knows how we've done and sort of the government have said that those who refuse 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 formal him. powers 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 and unfair 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 are better late than never but many others who feel that it's far too little thought through they. thousands in jerusalem have been protesting against the israeli prime minister demonstrators gathered in front of benyamin netanyahu is residents in the city as well as at some 250 intersections across the country 10 people were arrested for disturbing public order according to police it has been reported that the authorities have now cleared the area outside netanyahu is home rallies against the economic fallout of the covert a pandemic and government policies so left and right wing groups clashed protestors are calling for netanyahu to resign blaming him of mishandling the crisis and also of corruption allegations against him but supporters of the pm were out as well giving their backing to the israeli leader.

people in the far eastern russian city of homs bottle of scotch are protesting for a 3rd consecutive weekend in support of their former governor he was arrested earlier this month on allegations of ordering murders 15 years ago artie's senior correspondent but i've got to fix up a story for us. 7 ton zones away in the region of the bottom of the pacific ocean there are very different opinions on. the entire case of sergei for the gulf he was arrested on very serious charges and this was a high profile arrest of the suspicion of organizing the kidnapping in the mud multiple entrepreneurialism and these cases divided russians all over the country the official statistic that we've heard is 6500 people attending this demonstration unofficial reports going up 220000 people are still angry they demand the dismissal of these cases

a little i went out into the streets because i could not take it anymore i'm boiling over inside with support for girl who want justice to prevail did you mean i don't like the political situation in the country i am dissatisfied with our government and officials it is a simple as that society has matured to the point of expressing its indignation about what is happening in the far east sygate for god himself has maintained his innocence throughout and says he looks forward to the investigation against the being brought to an end he is also enjoyed a lot of popularity of street. reputation as a governor who cares a governor who has an ear to the concerns of constituents and voters he's made abit of dressing down very publicly officials that have either been incompetent. 'd saudi work is temporary replacement dictator of hasn't been welcomed with open arms protests to say that he doesn't belong he has no ties to the region and

that you know that much prefer the old government nevertheless the new governor says he's there to stay and he's going to do a good job you know it's let's respect each other let's work together as i've been doing for food days in the governor's office. i came here all of your complaints are taken into account so that all government bodies work smoothly i will spend the weekend on a trip around the bar of school region. still the new governor and protesters are at loggerheads because the protesters who gather in these huge crowds they say he has refused to come out to speak with them to engage with them which is the side that of week this fear even self says he has the time to waste that there is a lot to be done that the big show everything runs smoothly that there is a smooth transition in the years advised the protesters that the stop attending these needless and meaningless protests that instead devote the energy and

enthusiasm to volunteer work for example. rallies have taken place here in moscow in solidarity with the protests in russia's far east police have arrested dozens at an authorized gatherings in the center of the capital the activists were on their way to the russian prosecutor general's office to submit a petition in support of mr forde ago. rallies have been held across greece against the conversion of the stumbles i also feel in to a mosque on friday the historic landmark held its 1st muslim prayers in 90 years in thessaloniki greek orthodox protesters purged turkish flags sparking condemnation from ankara banners were on display with a message for the homeland the nation and orthodoxy demonstrators also marched on the turkish consulate in the city. maybe i'm going to this is

a totally barbaric an uncivilized turning heise of fear into a mosque this actually goes against all of the docs people this is not right from the turkish because they have been your churches to create a dear god. well friday's muslim prayers drew crowds of worshippers who filled the nearby square turkey's president richard tires aired to one was also in attendance surrounded by senior officials the turkish leader participated in the service and recited verses from the koran event expressed his delight at the reconversion. yes you could live in them but. 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 hyas of fear has now returned to its essence it was a mosque and it's a mosque a game let's take a quick look at the history of via sophia originally it was built by the eastern roman empire as a cathedral then it became

a mosque after the ottoman conquest in 1905 it was then converted into a museum but earlier this month turkey transformed it back into a mosque. chris anthopoulos a former greek ambassador to canada believes the change in sofia's 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 is dropping now in that turkey because of the economic crisis and also my impression is that he is trying to put down at 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 he 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 don't agree with them and yet it refuses or the moment to take sanctions against turkey. the chief of the u.k. art charity has accused british museums of being hypocritical in their support of the black lives matter movement and all francis says the institutions should 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 start to the other people that simply respond to it it's contradictory. to note don't

go home issued colonial profanities i did not comply because to be in the workforce i. also support was meant to incompatibles me the comments come after several high profile galleries and museums responded to the black lives matter movement with words of support the british museum is director for example wrote a blog post last month saying the institution stands in solidarity with black people throughout the world but the british museum itself has been under pressure for years to return works of art looted from former colonies those include the bend in bronzes taken by british soldiers from nigeria the greek parthenon marbles and an easter island statue 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 open about the history of the collections carol francis though is not convinced. role of news being. the means by which they shouldn't be assembled is being questioned this quote documentation about how these soldiers came into the possession. we need to know is whether or not it was taken be considered. 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 and of the shock waves are now 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 clash a group of azerbaijani men were caught on camera smashing the windows of an

than what we had seen and many many mistakes in 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 that it's a keep them safe from cope 19 so we found that a lot of our homeless by this is. what actually avoid going into 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 certainly $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 front line 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 mopp and artsy new york those are the news stories of the hour i'll be back with headlines in about 32 minutes and 40 seconds stay with startled. by the pandemic no certainly no borders and the flight into nationalities.

you cannot be both with the yeah you like. a. ton welcome to worlds apart today can't of telling other nations how to live their lives and build their societies that americans all of a sudden woke up to the realisation that their own house is all they know what i'm in a big way so much so that it warrants the full denunciation of their history who can

make america great again and how both to discover that i'm now joined by a rich with wealth professor emeritus of economics at the university of massachusetts professor wolf it's great to talk to you thank you very much for a time my pleasure thank you for inviting me now i know that you've been a harsh * critic of capital in for wide a long time blaming it for everything from systemic racism to the inadequate response to the pandemic but i think you would probably agree with me in that just like there is no one single america there is also no uniform version of capitalism your own country had a system back in the sixty's that it was very very different from the one that you have right now so is the problem really with capitalism as an organizational principle or rather what people do with it well i think it's a little bit of bulls you actually write capitalism comes in a variety.
