it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. to. seize the biggest black lives matter of protests in weeks in major american cities with the biggest one in seattle you heard from a reporter covering not rally you ended up on the receiving end of the police response. to get closer to me and saying hey. i'm packing up and that you can see a police officer from seattle show me backward i start filming him and the pepper spray be directly get the eyes of. those that shape the way the ukase opposition labor party pushes for artie's broadcast license to be revoked while london insists that with security priority after

a report on russian influence accuses the government of taking its eye off the ball we've got reaction to the story from people in london. the only shot on the roof. because it's just more sort of a more destruction what's really going on i just think we can't get to you so why should be to see it. as a 2nd wave of coronavirus hits in europe as several countries experience a spike in cases just weeks after they reopen the tourists and also took up. that was that. israel's gripped by a succession of large antigovernment protests as people in the country venting their frustration at the prime minister's handling of the. lingering corruption allegations.

good afternoon to you from all of us here at r.t. international in moscow. a fresh wave of protests unrest gripped major american cities on saturday the biggest. taishan curd in seattle police declared a riot and made 45 arrests and identified device exploded next to the seattle police department's east precinct tore a hole in the side of the building 21 police have been injured during clashes with protesters but one officer also unleashed purpose spray on a reporter covering the situation. i am. i am. i go i just got shot. i just got sorted sprayed in the bow. and we spoke to joey why is that the independent journalist you saw there being

purpose sprayed as well as the max buy of a seattle resident about the protest in the city on saturday. we get to a point where the police vents on the protesters they get closer and closer 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 drop off i turn myself around and try to get . start filming him and they pepper sprayed me directly and i know 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 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 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 clearly seem to be provoking with impunity they're shooting munitions into the crowd so at this point i think we're not really sure who they're following or who they're accountable to and it's really quite scary now that they're targeting media for sure. helicopter flying. in the middle of the premise. the police. officers are. going far erupted during a protest in downtown austin texas was tilting in one death according to officials wasn't immediately clear if the shooting was a deliberate attack related to the ongoing protests police have asked the public to

avoid the area while they investigate they say the case is being treated on the side we want tensions are high neither. city of portland over the deployment of on federal troops that they were sent in earlier in the wake by president trump to quell anti racism protests on sunday pull them police declared a riot in a city to protest as a breached a fence surrounding the city's federal courthouse. right now a big night out. and it's all your doubts i'm ok. well they're burning right now. they're probably about 200 people in here you know they also

know about me but they're all going to. we're here. and they. think you're going to. stand or sitting together. while than a dozen u.s. mazz mostly democrats have voiced concern over the federal crackdown president trump said more troops would be sent to u.s. cities. i think in their own way they want us to go in they'll be a time when 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're 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 poland shop bonus with stores in the area vandalized and looted on target was a jewelry store this been operating in the area for 30 years and it believes has broke in and stole numerous items the owner know how to sob says clients are afraid to go downtown because of the ongoing protests she spoke to me about the situation there 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 lot of graffiti just destruction everywhere and we're very disappointed with the city officials i don't consider what they're doing is leadership when you feel businesses like down when your city looks like

a war zone doubts have failed 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 like when you allow lawlessness when you allow the movie and we don't hold people accountable this stuff is going to continue and if their leadership field that business is there residents of downtown portland big time and ask why this is happening there is no accountability being held right now against looters. the u.k. government claims it has recognized the threat posed by russia for a long time and considers moscow a security priority it also says it has a 30 year strategy for dealing with the crime and this was london's response to a report on the russian meddling in british politics that was released tuesday that report accuses 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 off the ball because of its focus on the country terrorism we found the defense of the u.k. democratic process is a hot potato the government had badly underestimated the response required to the russian threat and is still playing catch up the outrage 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 get of the russian interference well that's the question which we want to have answered the british prime minister is reportedly planning to boost funding for the security services and introduce the new espionage act in response to the russia report that documents publication was delayed by the government for a year and a half before finally being 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. 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 to 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 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 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. and we got a reaction on the streets of london to the claims made in the russian report. the owner should own the. position more as other more destruction was really going on. and the fact there were shot of washers. just by me i just think we have a d.j. so why should they need to feel. this kind of thing to do with then wait weeks to know if they would take a listen that way to make a lesson beginning. that. you know other countries ruined the politics of other people who try to influence government interest. was part of the fallout of the russian report the u.k.'s opposition labor party is also pushing for artie's broadcast license to be revoked and a letter written to the country's t.v. regulator ofcom now that watchdog is supposed to be independent and immune from political pressure i am writing to request it off calm urgently reviews 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 the office of communications was created in 2003 by an act of parliament that regulates britain's t.v. and radio broadcasts and promotes fair competition of blocks harmful or offensive content if there are complaints and it did not leave r.t. out in the past our investigation from the arts he failed to preserve june partiality in 7 news and current affairs programs between the 17th of march and 26 very pull 2018 taken together these breaches represented serious and repeated failures of compliance with the rules. auntie's latest response to the allegations from the u.k. says there was no misinformation or falsehood saying any of the reporting of calm is assessed on the u.k. host after he returns he says this is a case of political interference we now have the words of sakina stormers shadow

department of culture media and sport secretary in 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 sickie has star 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 with people expressing their discontent over the handling of that make amidst corruption allegations against the problem mr more on the story after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic looking only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit. in. discontent with the current administration in israel is high. massive nationwide demonstrations swept across the country with thousands of people taking to the

streets to voice their frustration with israel's prime minister more than 5000 demonstrators reportedly gathered right in front of benjamin netanyahu residence the big growing protests in recent weeks on violent clashes and saturday night was no exception. i am. well let's look at what's causing that anger protesters feel the government didn't get to grips with the coronavirus they're particularly angry with a return of some lock down measures because of spikes in infection rates they also say the problem is to underscore that it failed to manage the economic fallout of the pandemic and on top of that there's simmering anger over corruption charges

against binyamin netanyahu the prime minister's trial resumes next year the witness testimonies for its he's accused of fraud breach of trust and accepting bribes and now he though seems more focused on protestors. goutam did not drag the state into anarchy violence vandalism and the spreading of disease through terrible sanitary practice like your innate thing in the streets do not be dragged into attacking police officers they're doing their job. at least 12 people are reported to be arrested amid unrest on saturday local media say supporters of the pm clashed with the anti government protest. former advisor to the president's office jason perlow and they shared their thoughts on the current tensions. there was functioning and everything did seem under control until everything was back we celebrated too soon here and that's when you know for all the good work that he did in the 1st wave really wasn't there this 2nd time around a large group of protesters are protesting that the prime minister is. in the midst

of a fraud and he should resign protesters that really are problematic for those that are out of work those that are from industries which are not picking up the tourism industry the entertainment industry there are people that are just out of work and economically are suffering so he needs to answer those people he's going to have to come out with one of our real economic plan that is going to put israel back to a shong economy as we move through different stages both politically because we had a new government sworn in and in terms of the pandemic itself with new numbers emerge there's been a sort of imbalance between those 2 things and there's a genuine feeling on the street that we could be doing things differently and we could be doing things better now we have a working government there's a stronger position on a stronger position will voice its checks and balances on the new prime minister and on his government's policies and that's expressed on the streets as well it's pretty much part and parcel of the democratic debate around how to handle both the

economic sides of the pandemic and the medical side as well. the world health organization sounding the alarm of a coronavirus trends in europe calling them worrying these could spiral into major outbreaks spain belgium and france have seen spikes in reported cases of covert 90 so if countries are now moving to make banditry and public spaces with more on the fears of a european 2nd wave. of. the summer sun has encouraged a return to normal in europe when it comes to covert 19 but ask coronavirus restrictions of be lifted or loosened the world health organization is warning about a potential spike in the virus with eastern europe and the balkans is deemed to be particularly at risk. we still have some worrying trends in southern europe in the balkans so we're not out of the woods just yet in the european environment it

requires sustained vigilance just 2 months ago montenegro was declaring itself corona free not anymore it seems 2000 cases of the virus have seen social distancing and lock down measures reintroduced but. you may be forgiven for thinking that western europe could force off the worst the pandemic count to offer but there's also been spikes there as well in spain for example the number of new infections has tripled recently in peaceful means that you know this when measures have been relaxed is where outbreaks happen is not only family reunions or other types of gatherings where we've had a good number of new outbreaks but also in places where there's been evening entertainment they have also generated some new outbreaks some countries are already reimposing measures in belgium which was ravaged by the 1st wave of the virus pressure is being placed upon the health care system local mayors will be

given powers to impose lock downs and curfews in the areas hardest hit we think that this is not really the time to have phase 5 of the restrictions there will be reinforcements taken to counter this part of the coronavirus instead. germany has been very successful at keeping cases low but this time of year is the peak time for holidays and unfortunately mingling with strangers when. is a very good way to spread this virus then that's the differences in the precautions taken from country to country here in berlin it's strictly for bolton to write public transport without a mosque while in no way it's optional but there is nothing stopping me popping off the all slow for a few days taking in the sights of the taiga city by tram and bringing cove it back to germany europe like everywhere else is desperate to get back to normality not

least of all for economic reasons but steps taken to quickly can end up being steps taken backwards that comb with tragic consequences coronavirus today is no less infectious and no less deadly than it was a few months back it would a political but mostly economy in europe is more concerned with the economy in the health of its citizens and people the relaxation of the self isolation regime happened too early we do not know much about this virus but it spreads extremely quickly now there have been repeated outbreaks of the virus in many places in spain in terms of the rate of infection it countries approaching the figure of a 1000 people a day due to summer vacations that there are not enough doctors and nurses we need to act quickly in order to find the source of infections and try to immediately isolate and quarantine the people who are nearby in europe borders have been practically open some places are being visited by tourists i don't think that the

control over visitors is very strict if europe does not act together then frankly it will be difficult at the beginning of the epidemic the government made the wrong decisions by the end of february a quarantine should have been already declared but this is in the past today it is a global problem i see that infections are not only occurring in spain the balkans will be a big source of increased coronavirus. infections in europe. some people are more prone to cope in 1000 than others and so need to take additional precautions but rather than getting down about it one couple in rio de janeiro saw an opportunity to have some fun or while indulging a lifelong fascination with space travel. it. it. it.

it is. the simplest and i'm 66 part of the coded risk group and in quarantine at home i get really anxious feeling that i had to go out and do things but could not seeing infection rate was really high that. was what you report on t.v. i saw an interview with a doctor he went for more than 40 days without seeing his family because he was in the covert task force getting created dinosaur costume to visit his family it was very touching so i thought about doing something similar to go out. the northern capital a city st petersburg a staging its annual parade as we speak celebrating the country's navy day more

than 40 warships of various classes naval aviation and more than 4000 personnel are taking part in the event the more they will praise will also be held at the bases of all the russian navy's fleets and tell us here are the highlights for you so far . that brings you brought up today really appreciated you company throughout the morning and early afternoon here in moscow my colleagues check in to go bring you

all the updates on top stories in africa. was a pandemic no certainly no borders. nationalities. commentary . we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenge is created to respond. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together.

join me every thursday on the all excitement and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you there. are a. ton welcome to worlds apart after they came to us telling auburn nations how to live their lives and build their societies damn 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 richard wolffe 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 wide a long time blaming you 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.
