when he speaks. to. the u.s. sees its biggest black lives matter rallies and weeks we hear from a reporter who got caught up in the police crackdown in seattle. figure closer closer to being saying a peaceful mind cracking up. subsurface you know show back where i started filming him as a pepper spray project weekend. and in the stories that shaped the week the u.k. is opposition labor party pushes for artie's broadcast license to people vote after reports on alleged russian influence we got reaction from londoners. we all know shot on the moon. because it's just more it's all the more destruction what's

really going on i just think we can take you so why should they need to see it. plus several countries see a spike in corona virus cases just weeks after reopening their doors to tourists. and israel is gripped by public outrage over the prime minister's handling of the pandemic amid corruption allegations. this is the weekly here on r.t. international welcome to our round up of the day's news along with headlines that shape the week. a wave of street unrest gripped major american cities on saturday people rallied in places including savile portland and chicago.

and identify device exploded next to the south pole police department's east

precinct tearing a hole in the side of the building a total of 21 officers 7 in the city were injured through clashes throughout the weekend. and in central seattle police used pepper spray to force the crowd back and some were seen beating activists with sticks one reporter film the moment he was pepper sprayed in the face. that's right breaks. 10 a day so i'm. like oh i just got shot. at a train i just got shot to trade in the boat 2. we spoke with joey wiser the independent journalist who you just saw being pepper sprayed as well as to max country by of a cell resident about the protests in the city. we get to a point where the police advances on the protesters they get closer and closer to

me and i'm saying hey i'm peaceful i'm packing up and you can see a police officer from seattle show backward into a crowd of people and then i obviously i turn myself around and try to get. start filming him pepper sprayed me directly. and at that point i cannot breathe and i cannot see or hear a helicopter flying over me. in the middle of the protests. just. 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 portland 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 the owner 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's just boarded up streets. you know lot of graffiti just destruction everywhere and we're very disappointed with the studio officials they

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 out so 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 when you 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 supposed the threat posed by the kremlin airport on alleged russian meddling was released on tuesday and it accuses the u.k. of failing to take the threat seriously. who is protecting british public from interference in our democratic process well in a nutshell we found no one is the 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 get 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 reports the documents publication was delayed by the government for a year and a half before it was finally released this week are to stay on the hawkin's 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 anti use doris' 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 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 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've got reaction on the streets of london to the claims made in the report. we're nation i don't believe. because it's just more of a more destruction but what's really going on. in the photo was shot of russia or is that just by i mean i just think we can do for you so why should they need to be . based on the thing to do with that what you preach and that they would take a lead in this and that way to make a list of beginning where that. you know other countries really the politics of other people who try to influence government. in chief. as part of the fallout from the russia report the u.k.'s 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 com the watchdog is supposed to be independent and immune from political pressure i am writing to requested 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 it regulates britain's t.v. and radio broadcasts and promotes fair competition and off calm 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 jan 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 off com has assessed r t u k host afshin rattansi says this is a case of political interference. we now have the woods of cicadas damas shadow

because when you 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 that you want to politically interfere with an independent regulator devastated the fact that sic he has stallman seems obsessed by wanting to destroy a free press in britain puts 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 yes dahmer has crossed

a line he's attempting perhaps to interfere with an independent. independent media regulator politically. still ahead israel is in the grip of protests with people there expressing their discontent over the handling of the pandemic at fallen and corruption allegations against the prime minister of the details on that story and more after the short break.

we go to work so straight home. capitalism in the united states and in the united states the leading capitalist in this country are now global capitalism grand blue leaves the best middle class without jobs without a future it's a disaster you're covered over with endless you're there but the reality is a disaster and it looks good from work yet you would see other people emerging trying to make a political career by flipping through their. welcome back around 5000 people flooded the streets of jerusalem on saturday night demanding the resignation of the israeli prime minister it was earlier indicted on

graft charges police arrested at least 12 protesters clashes were reported between rival groups for some speaking out in support of benyamin netanyahu crowds have been rolling in the city center throughout the whole 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 they also say the prime minister and his cabinet have failed to manage the economic fallout of the pen. on top of all of 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 that yahoo has denied all the charges calling them part of a political witch hunt and he's condemned the ongoing protests. not drag the state into anarchy violence vandalism and the spreading of disease through terrible sanitary practices like you're an aging in the street do not be dragged into attacking police officers they're doing their job. political analyst michel 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. 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 on the 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 debates around how to handle both the

economic sides of the pandemic and the medical side as well. the world health organization is sounding the alarm of a corona virus infections 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 but more on the fears of a european 2nd wave here's artie's peter alter. the sun the sun has encouraged a return to normal in europe when it comes to covert 19 but ask. rotavirus 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 and 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 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 the restrictions there will be reinforcements taken to counter this part of the corona virus 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 is a very good way to spread this virus then there'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 mask 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 the brink of 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 have political but mostly only in europe is more concerned with the economy than 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 the country's 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 infection 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 vulnerable to cope in 1000 than others and need to take additional precautions rather than getting down about that one couple in rio de janeiro saw an opportunity to have a bit of fun while also indulging a lifelong fascination with space. if. you get it. you can make. it. to. be 15 percent i'm 66 part of the code good risk

group finding cornton at home i got really anxious feeling that i had to go out and do things but could not sing infection rate was really high you get a. lot of 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 caused you 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 navy day parade are 40 warships naval aviation and more than $4000.00 personnel took part in the event and more parades are taking place at maple bases around the country there are the
