they were going to come out. to fight. the u.s. sees its biggest block. in weeks we speak to a reporter who got caught up in the. whole. thing a. back. seat. start. stories that shape the week the u.k. position labor party. broadcast license to be. a report on alleged russian influence reaction to that from london. because of the more destruction.

so why should the. several e.u. countries see a spike in coronavirus cases just weeks after reopening their doors to interests. of. israel public rage over the prime minister's. corruption. with the big story major american cities today some of the worst riots were in seattle and in portland.

no on all my densify device exploded next to the seattle police department's precinct tearing a hole in the side of the building a total of $21.00 officers were injured during clashes right throughout the day.

i in central seattle police used pepper spray to force the crowd bach and some were seen beating activists with sticks one reporter filmed the moment he was partially . right. thank you all thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you i was. like oh i just got shot. i just got shot it's raining about. 2 how. we spoke to joe we wiser that is the journalist and activist you saw just being pepper sprayed there as well as to seattle resident mocks kenja by about the protests in the city on saturday. we get to a point where the police vents on the protesters they get closer and closer to me

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 drop off 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. in the middle of the protests. the police. or earlier in the week more than a dozen u.s. murders mainly democrats voice the alarm over the federal crocked president trump refused to back down saying more troops would be sent to trouble spots 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're not going to hesitate to take the president to court and stop any unconstitutional actions well the scenes of chaos has hit retailers hard in portland several stores have been. looted over the past 2 months or so one of the targets was a jewelry store it's been operating for 30 years there in may looters broke into the premises and stole numerous items the owner told us clients are afraid to go dun tell. 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

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 doubts 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 their leadership field that business is the residence of downtown portland big time and that's why this is happening there is no accountability being held right now against looters. the u.k. government sees it has drawn up a 30 year strategy for dealing with the supposed that threat posed by the kremlin a report on alleged russian meddling was released on tuesday the inquiry accused london of feeling to take the thread serious thing. who is protecting the 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 give you of the russian interference well that's the question which we want to have unsub or lead british prime minister is reportedly planning to boost funding for they security services introduce a new espionage act in response to the russia report the report's publication was delayed by the government for a year and a half before it was finally released on tuesday artie's 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 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. the impact of

any such attempts would be difficult if not impossible to was serious 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. daniel hawkins well we've got reaction on the streets of london to the claims made in the russian report on. the nation i don't believe. because it's just more of a more destruction what's really going on. and the photo was shot of russia or. just by the i mean i just think the pack a day so why should they need to feel. this kind of thing to do with that lightweight feeling that if they were detained in this no way to make a lesson to get me aware that. you know other countries ruined the politics of other people who try to influence government. interest well as part of the fall out of the russian report the u.k.'s opposition labor party is also pushing for artie's broadcast license to be revoked by came via letter to the

country's t.v. regulator ofcom the watchdog is supposed to be independent and emunah from political pressure i am writing to recrossed 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 to give it its full title was created in 2003 by an act of parliament it regulates britain's t.v. and radio broadcasts and promotes for competition off calm blocks harmful or offensive content if there are complaints on r t has been previously investigated more than once. our investigation from the r.c. failed to preserve june partiality in 7 news and current affairs programs between the 17th of march and 26 very pool 20 taken together these breaches represented

serious and repeated failures of compliance with the rules well in response to the latest allegations from the u.k. r t point site there's been no misinformation or false holds in any of our reporting that often assessed our to u.k. host option retaliates ses it boils down to an issue of political interference. we now have the woods sick in a storm is 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 sick. 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 here he is attempting perhaps to interfere with an independent. independent media regulator politically. this is are to international israel's prime minister is facing relentless calls to resign over his corruption trial at hundley of the pandemic we bricked on that story after the break.

think. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race in this spearing dramatic development only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

16 minutes into the program welcome back around 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 made at least a dozen arrests clashes were reported between rival groups with some speaking out in support of benjamin netanyahu crowds have been rallying in the city center throughout the entire. was.

well let's take a look at our news wall here about what is causing the anger protesters are unhappy with the government's handling of the coronavirus they're resisting the rift tarn of a number of locked on measures as well to to a spike in infections they also say the prime minister and his cabinet feel to manage the economic fallout of the demick on top of all their simmering anger over corruption charges against mr netanyahu the prime minister's trial resumes next year with witness testimonies he's accused of fraud breach of trust and accepting bribes netanyahu has denied all charges calling them part of a political witch hunt and he's condemned the ongoing protests to. goutam do not drag the state into anarchy violence vandalism and the spreading of disease through terrible sanitary practices like your innate thing in the street do not be dragged

into attacking police officers they're doing their job. former advisor to the israeli president's office jason perlow political analyst mitchell gave us their views on the civil unrest in the nation. 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 are up 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 really konami plan that is going to put israel

back on 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 impossible 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 sundering the alarm over a crew of virus infections in europe calling them worrying spain belgium and france seeing some of the most recent spikes in cases it's led to several european countries making personal protective equipment p p munda tree in all public spaces

with more on the fears of a 2nd wave here sure europe correspondent peter all over. the summer sun has encouraged a return to normal in europe when it comes to covert 19 but ask coronavirus restrictions that be lifted or loosened the world health organization is warning about a potential spike in the virus with eastern europe and the fall could 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 the peaceful use of the ozone 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 to face 5. 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 travel. it's a very good way to spread this virus then this 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 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 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 and. factions in europe. are indeed covert 1000 hours of course being a faithful reality for many people around the globe and there's barely a minute isn't there in the day it's not mentioned but rather than getting donna by 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. you get. it. to 5966 part of the code you'd risk group and incurring teenage home i get really anxious feeling that i had to go out and do things but could not sing infection rate was really high.

that 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 code be taught in schools created dinosaur cost 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 it's on you all per raid celebrating navy day over a 40 warships naval aviation and more than $4000.00 personnel took part in the events we got some of the highlights from up north here they are.

was in the ecuadorian embassy for 8 years 7 or 8. a long time he spent in the prisons basically and that now he's being fair many months in the present. and. there are a lot of people who don't want him in prison a lot of the very powerful this department is conducting a thorough aggressive investigation to determine how this leak occurred to identify the person or persons responsible. person. and i think. that's what he's facing the dishes trying to much.
