undemocratic practices. that world are wealthy and there's. no question that's according to. the u.s. sees its biggest black lives matter rallies and weeks we heard from a reporter who got caught up in the police crackdown in seattle. they get closer and closer to me and i'm saying a peaceful kind cracking up. subsequent show back where i started filming him and the pepper spray directly denies. and in the stories that shaped the way the u.k. is opposition labor party pushes for arjun's broadcast license to be provoked i purport alleged russian influence we got reaction from other nerds we're going to shout on the moon. because it's just noise all the more destruction was really going on i just think we can't do so why should the need to see it. several in new

countries see a spike in corona virus cases just weeks after reopening their doors to tourists. oh my god. and israel is gripped by public outrage over the prime minister's handling of the kind i mean corruption allegations. this is the weekly here on our team welcome to our round up of the day's news along with the headlines. a wave of street unrest gripped a major american city is on saturday people rallied in places like seattle portland and chicago.

and on identified device exploded next to the seattle police department's east precinct tearing a hole in the side of the building a total of $21.00 officers were injured in the city during clashes throughout

saturday. in central seattle police used pepper spray to force the crowd back and some were even seen beating activists with sticks one reporter filmed the moment use pepper sprayed. right to break. thanks. thanks thanks i'm. like oh i just got shot. that's right i just got shot to training about 2. we spoke with joey wiser the independent journalists you just saw being pepper sprayed as well as with mexican jim by a cell resident about the protests in the city. 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 you can see

a police officer from seattle show backward into a crowd of people and then i obviously draw and i turn myself around and try to get . start filming him pepper sprayed me directly and i know at that point i cannot breathe and i cannot see or hear a helicopter flying a little. in the middle of the protests. the police. earlier this week more than a dozen u.s. mayors voiced alarm over the federal crackdown president trump refused to back down saying more troops would be sent to u.s. cities i think in their own way they want us to go and they'll be a time when they're going to want us to go in full blast but right now we're sending extra people to help 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 we are not going to hesitate to take the president to court and stop any unconstitutional actions the chaos has hit retailers and port one several stores have been vandalized and looted over the past 2 months one of the targets was a jewelry store that's been operating there for 30 years and may looters broke into the process and stole numerous items own are now told us clients are afraid to go downtown. 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 is just boarded up streets. you know a lot of graffiti just destruction everywhere and we're very disappointed with the studio fishbowls i don't consider what they're doing it's tutorship when you feel businesses like that 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 looting and we don't hold people accountable this stuff is going to continue and their leadership field the businesses the 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 says it's drawn up a 30 year strategy for dealing with the suppose a threat posed by the kremlin are poured on alleged russian meddling was released on tuesday and it accuses the u.k. a failing to take the threat seriously. who is protecting the british public from interference in our democratic process well in a nutshell we found no one is b. u.k. government took its eye off the ball because of its focus on counter-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 does want to know if there was what is the worst example you can gave of the russian interference well that's the question which we want to have unsub the british prime minister is reportedly planning to boost funding for the security services and introduce a new espionage act in response to the russian report that documents publication was delayed by the government for a year and a half before it was finally released on tuesday artes in a hawkins looks at what's inside. 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 builds 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 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 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 of 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 we got reaction on the streets are one

into the report claims. we're nation i don't believe. because it's just more it's other more destruction was really going on. and the photo was shot of russia was. just by the enemy i just take it to you so why should they need to feel. this kind of thing to do with that lately and that they would take this and that way to make a list of beginning where the. you know other countries really the politics of other people who try to influence government. in chief. as part out a part of the fallout from the russia report the u.k. his opposition labor party is also pushing for artie's broadcast license to be revoked and a letter to the country's t.v. regulator off call a watchdog is supposed to be 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 the office of communications was created in 2003 by an act of parliament it regulates britain's t.v. and radio broadcasts and promotes fair competition and off blocks harmful or offensive content if there are complaints it did not leave r.t.e. 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. artie's latest response to the allegations says that there was no misinformation or falsehoods and any of our reporting that has assessed r.t.e. chaos afshin rattansi says this is a case of political interference we now have the woods of sick in a storm is shadow because we do culture media and sport secretary in

a private letter sent to this independent regulator saying telling the urgently i need to see you to see that you want to politically interfere with an independent regulator devastated the fact that sick here stallman 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 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 the estimate has crossed a line here he's attempting perhaps to interfere with an independent.

independent media regulated politically. his role is in the grip of protests with people there expressing their discontent over the handling of the pandemic after all a medical rubbish an allegation against the prime minister more on that in about 95 . lead.

join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. below again 5000 people flooded the streets of jerusalem on saturday night demanding the resignation of the israeli prime minister who was earlier indicted on

graft charges police arrested at least 12 protesters clashes were reported between rival groups with some speaking out in support of netanya crowds have been rolling in the city center all week. let's take a look at what's causing the anger protesters are unhappy with the government's handling of the coronavirus and they're resisting the return of some lockdown measures due to a spike in infections also say the prime minister and his cabinet have failed to manage the economic fallout pandemic on top of all that there is simmering anger

over corruption charges against netanyahu the prime minister's trial resumes next year with witness testimonies he's accused of fraud breach of trust and accepting bribes yahoo has denied all of the charges calling them a part of a political witch hunt and he's condemned the ongoing protests. do not drag this state into anarchy violence vandalism and the spreading of disease through terrible sanitary practices like your innate thing in the streets do not be dragged into attacking police officers they're doing their job political analyst mitchell barrack and former advisor to the president's office jason perlow and gave us their views on the civil unrest in israel but 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 the 2nd time around a large group of protesters are protesting that the prime minister is corrupt he's

in the midst of a fraud trial 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 strong 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 economic sides of the pandemic and the medical side as well. the world health

organization is sounding the alarm over corona virus infection rates in europe calling them worrying spain belgium and france have seen recent spikes in cases several european countries have now moved to making people mandatory in all public spaces with more on the fears of a european 2nd wave here's artie's bitter over. the summer sun has encouraged a return to normal in europe when it comes to covert 19 but ask coronavirus restrictions of being lifted or lucent the world health organization is warning about a potential spike in the virus with eastern europe and the bulk and 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 the peaceful use of the ozone the swimmers 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 to face 5 of these into 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 traveling. it's a very good way to spread this virus they miss the differences in the precautions taken from country to country here in berlin it's strictly for boat to ride public transport without a mosque while in norway 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 bring 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 of 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. actions in europe. some people are more prone to cover 1000 than others and need to take additional precautions but rather than getting down about that one couple in rio de janeiro saw an opportunity to have a bit of fun all while also indulging a lifelong fascination with space travel. it. did everything. he did and if. it. didn't make. it. to 50 percent i'm 66 spot of the kind of good risk group finding cornton it

highlight that really anxious feeling that i had to go out and do things but could not see the infection rate was really high yet. i did what you can 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 cozy tall school getting created dinosaur costume to visit his family he was very touching so i thought about doing something similar to go out. the russian city of st petersburg has staged its annual maybe day parade or 40 warships naval aviation and more than $4000.00 personnel took part in the event and more parades are taking place at naval bases around the country here are the highlights from st petersburg.

live. as our breakdown of to some of the biggest headlines from the past week from on. those stories and the latest news at our website r.t.e. dot com.

the. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic developments only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very creative guy to sit down and talk.

and in 1996 something happened different a company called purdue pharmaceuticals came out with a drug called oxycontin and they started a mere and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely addict maybe only one percent of the time could you get addicted to no. that was not true. and it is not true never was true that was a false statement and the other companies jumped on the bandwagon of making money and the false lies spread and the false marketing spread that they are guilty of why about these tricks they cause this step i believe that with every fiber of my being. back in 1906 the 1st promotional at campaign for an opioid was broadcasted we found it.

we doctors were wrong in thinking that opioids can't be used long term they can be and they should be we used to think they'd stop working all the patients would become addicts or they'd be sedated interconnectivity these 6 cases show how wrong those views were. in this little film the public was assured with certification that content would show no risk of addiction just. it's high concentration. to make it believable. that this treatment. can be used without. can enjoy. it really enjoy a mouse a. new pain medication i have not missed one day of work this medication is not

turning you into a zombie it just turned me into an active person again. whereas addiction is the 1st. farmer a. reliable some patients may be afraid of taking opioids because they're perceived as too strong or addictive but that is far from actual fact. less than one percent of patients taking opioids actually become addicted. since 1988 doctors have observed patients developing addiction yet in this internal memo a laboratory keeps on encouraging us representatives to sell the cost that miracle pill using bonuses premiums and all sorts of gadgets in only 5 years oxycontin went from 600000 prescriptions a year to more than 6000000. nowadays 30 pharma is the

1st company standing it was used in the lawsuit filed by the state of oklahoma in order to prove its responsibility the team relies on doc to kalani. in the 1st 6 years of the release of oxycontin produced sponsored 20000 educational programs across the united states they gave money to the professional societies to advocate for more opioids the organization that regulates hospitals took money from them the organization that regulates doctors in different states took money from them from all of these different directions we were told to prescribe much more the opioid lobby the manufacturers and distributors of opioids spent 880000000 dollars over a 10 year period a walking efforts for more cautious prescribing that they spent 8 times more than the gun lobby.
