3:03 am
to me and i'm saying hey i'm peaceful i'm backing up and then you can see a police officer from seattle show backward into a crowd of people and then i obviously drawn off i turn myself around and try to get. i start filming him and then he pepper sprayed me directly and i was and now at that point i cannot breathe and i cannot see as an individual i am somebody who supports the protest but when i put on that jacket when i put out my phone i am there a number of independent media and i think to try and separate the 2 is difficult but i will say that i am out there and i don't yell at the police i'm not somebody who's flipping them off and they're truly and honestly to capture what's happening for them to target me that way was really surprising i feel like maybe the police officers are torn they clearly seem to be provoking with impunity and they're shooting munitions into the crowd so at this point i think we're not really sure
3:04 am
who they're following or who they're accountable to and it's really quite scary now that they're targeting the media for sure. gunfire erupted during a protest in downtown austin resulting in death according to officials it wasn't immediately clear if the shooting was a deliberate attack related to the ongoing protests the police of us the public to avoid the. incident they say the case is being treated as a homicide. tensions remain high in the u.s. city of portland of the deployment of ahmed federal troops they were sent in earlier. the week by president trying to quell the racism protests security forces have been resorting to tear gas and rubber bullets and we can show you the situation at this very moment in portland oregon.
3:05 am
more than a dozen u.s. mayors most of the democrats have voiced concern about this federal crackdown but president trump said more troops will be censored more u.s. cities i think in their own way they want to go in they'll be a time where they're going to want us to go in for blast but right now we're sending extra people to help i've been very clear not happening in chicago we don't need federal troops when i spoke with the director of the department of homeland security last week i told him to go home and to take his federal troops with him and if we see any steps out of line particularly with v.h.s. or border patrol we are not going to hesitate to take the president to court in stop any unconstitutional actions i cannot believe i have to say that to the president of the united states i know that oregonians are outraged american should be appalled meanwhile the ongoing protests have affected portland's shop owners
3:06 am
with stores in the area vandalized in looted one of the targets was a jewelry store that has been operating in the area for 30 years it may looters broke into the premises and stole numerous items the owner a sub says that clients are afraid to go downtown because of the ongoing protests she spoke to me about the situation in portland. and not only ones many businesses in downtown portland are hurt it's not the portland we know it's not the city that we've been doing business in for over 30 years it's just boarded up streets. you know a lot of graffiti just destruction everywhere and we're very disappointed with the city officials don't consider what they're doing is due to ship when you feel businesses like that when your city looks like a war zone that suffield leadership and we're very disappointed we're very angry and at this time we just don't know what the future of downtown portland will look
3:07 am
like and you allow lawlessness when you allow looting and we don't hold people accountable this stuff is going to continue and if their leadership field that business is the residence of downtown portland big time and ask why this is happening there is no accountability being held right now against looters. u.k. government claims it has recognized the threat posed by russia for a long time considers moscow a security priority it also says it has a 30 year strategy for dealing with the crime that it was london's response to report on alleged russian meddling in british politics that was released on tuesday it accuses this report the u.k. of failing to take the threat seriously. who is protecting the british public from interference in our democratic process will not show we found no one is b. u.k. government tributes are you off the ball because of its focus on counterterrorism we found the defense of the u.k. democratic process is
3:08 am
a hot potato the government had badly underestimated the response required to the russian threat and is still playing catch up to the outrage if it isn't that there was interference the outrage is that no one wants to know if there was what is the worst example you can do of the russian interfere in well that's the question which we want to have answered the british prime minister's reportedly planning to boost funding for the security services and introduce a new espionage act in response to the russia report documents publication was delayed by the government for a year and a half before it was finally released on tuesday what he's done hawkins looks at what's inside it. to get a very brief summary of the long awaited russia report we can go straight to page 13 of the document the written evidence provided to us appear to suggest that h m g had not seen or saw evidence of successful interference in u.k.
3:09 am
democratic processes seems to be enough so if you're short on time or don't want to read heavily redacted intelligence and political spiel stop watching now otherwise let's go on open source studies have pointed to the preponderance of pro breaks it all and he used tories on r.t. in sputnik and the use of bots and trolls as evidence of russian attempts to influence the process we've sought to establish whether there is secret intelligence which supported or built on these studies in response and my 5 initially provided just 6 lines of text the report's authors were seemingly surprised by the limited response of the intelligence services but not because those agencies may have more important priorities such as protecting lives by tackling international domestic terrorism or serious crime apparently more resources are needed to keep track of social media and artie's editorial policies and coverage breaks it polarized millions with several broadcasters coming under
3:10 am
fire but it's still russia that poses the risk and the security services that are doing their job this is about the protection of the u.k.'s democratic process and mechanism from hostile state interference which should fall to our intelligence and security agencies after all moscow has been waging influence campaigns targeting u.k. politics through digital media of wealthy individuals organizations and almost any other means the report warns the threat of russian influence is a hot potato with intelligence and other agencies shirking the responsibility of taking the lead in tackling it and reassuring the public amid widespread allegations that again the impact of such influence remains elusive. impact of any such attempts would be difficult if not impossible to assess and we've not sought to do so state agencies haven't looked closely enough for open source information according to the report they lacked
3:11 am
a retrospective assessment and intelligence agencies in particular need a more important role in future the committee was struck by the relatively small proportion of work that is carried out by the agencies in relation to russia in any case should they consider other threats to be a higher priority they can always fall back on trusted russian experts to lead the way christopher steele author of the infamous anonymous golden shower dossier and contributors that the institute for state craft and integrity initiative a project founded to tackle the russian threat receiving state funding to advise the states that russia is a threat and moscow's response was swift and predictable as was the final conclusion of the long awaited russia report showing yet again that any reproach went with the u.k. however small is still be on the horizon we've got reaction on the streets of london to the claims made in the russian report the nation i don't believe. the
3:12 am
position more as of a more destruction what's really going on. and the fact there were a shot of russia was there just by any means i just think we can educate our way should be to you and this kind of thing to do with them lately to know if they were telling us now wait it may take a listen to beginning where. you know other countries ruined the politics of other people will try to influence for government's interest. it was part of the fallout of the russia report the u.k.'s opposition labor party is also pushing for artie's broadcast license to be revoked in a letter to the country's t.v. regulator ofcom the watchdog is supposed to be remember independent and immune from political pressure i am writing to request it off calm urgently refuse artie's license in light of this report into request a meeting with you as soon as possible to discuss my concerns about the broadcaster

a private letter sent to this independent regulator saying almost telling the urgently i need to see you to see her to do what to politically interfere with an independent regulator devastated the fact that sick here starmer seems obsessed by wanting to destroy a free press in britain which the british labor party in in the spotlight because that would have implications for a free press in this country for article 19 of the united nations charter human rights charter it would have implications for the human rights act and presumably just as when he was banned for a defend media freedom summit here he would get help from amnesty international index on censorship obviously because he s. jammers crossed a line here he is attempting perhaps to interfere with an independent. independent media regulator politically. israel is in the grip of protests

welcome to worlds apart after decades 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 not in order in a big way so much so that it warrants the full denunciation of their history who can make america great again and how well to discover that i'm now joined by rich with wealth professor emeritus of economics at the university of massachusetts on hers professor wolf it's great to talk to you thank you very much for a time. i pledge to thank you for inviting me now i know that you've been a harsh critic of capital in for wide a long time blaming you for everything from systemic racism to the adequate 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
3:29 am
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 their. well i think it's a little bit of both you're absolutely right capitalism comes in a variety of different understandings interpretations different concrete forms the american system is special in the way that it limits the government very extremely the only other country like that is the britain and even britain doesn't do it as much as the united states so what we have here is a capitalism that is more or less a fair is more private spoke as then anything else which is what the united states has tried to push around the world privatization privatization well now we've come full circle we see how private capitalism works and and i'm not alone in this
3:30 am
it is a disaster the private capitalism did not prepare for the pandemic private capitalism is not able to contain the pandemic we are desperate as we compare ourselves to new zealand to vietnam to japan all these countries with this state is given an important role they were able to prepare and contain in a way that american capitalism could not what sound would argue that it's not the job of private capital in our private enterprises to prepare for the pandemic. and i mean goal is making profit i know that you have. some concerns about profit making as a motive but some people would say this is a very natural human motivator humans i guarantee increase their resources they they want.
