world from. the u.s. sees its biggest block. in weeks we speak to a reporter who got caught up. to get closer to saying i'm being peaceful i'm packing. show that i started filming him. directly. in the stories that shaped the week the u.k.'s opposition labor party pushes for broadcast license to be the full report on the latest russian influence we react to this hour from. the initial i don't believe. position of a more destruction. i guess take the case so why should the.

several e.u. countries see a spike in corona virus cases just weeks after reopening their doors to terrorists also ahead. was. that. israel is gripped by public outrage over the prime minister's. corruption probe against. with the big stories of the past 7 days on right up to the moment of elements of well this is the weekly on r.t. international hello and welcome. a wave of streets on wrist gripped major american

cities on sunday some of the worst riots were in seattle and in portland.

in one incident and all my identify 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 throughout the day. i i in central seattle police used pepper spray to force the crowd back and some are seen beating activists with sticks one reporter filmed the moment he was proper spring. break. hey. i'm. gone i just got shot. that's crazy i just got shot it's raining about. well among the people we spoke to about offense in the city on sunday was joey

wiser a journalist and activists you just saw being pepper sprayed 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 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 now at that point i cannot breathe and i cannot see helicopters flying. in the middle of the protests. the police. earlier this week more than a dozen u.s. mirrors mainly democrats voiced the alarm over the federal crocked on but president trump refused to back done saying more troops would be sent to trouble spots if

he's. 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 for bless 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 in stop any unconstitutional actions meanwhile the chaos has had retailers in portland several stores we know have been vandalized looted over the past 2 months one of the targets was a jewelry store worth onscreen operating for 30 years in may looters broke into the premises and stolen 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 fish holes 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 of 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 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 failed the business is the residents of downtown portland big time and despite this is happening there is no accountability being held right now against looters. or let's move the program will know the u.k. government says it has drawn up a 30 year strategy for dealing with this suppose

a threat posed by the kremlin a report on a leisure. russian meddling was released and choose the the inquiry accused london of feeling 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 give of the russian interference well that's the question which we want to have unsub well the british prime minister is reportedly planning to boost funding for the security services and introduce

a new espionage act in response to the russia report the report's publication was delayed by the government for a year before it was finally released on tuesday artie's daniel 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 the u.k. democratic process is 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 wealthy individuals organizations and almost any other

means the report warns the threats 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 beyond the horizon where we got reaction on the streets of london to the claims made in the russian reporter. we are nation i don't believe. the position more showers or more destruction was really going on. and the photo was shot of washers. just by the enemy i just think the pack a day so why should they interfere and this kind of thing to do with that wave we didn't know if they would take this no way to make a lesson to get me where. you know other countries through interfere with the

politics of other people who try to influence government interest. the part of the fallout of the russia report the u.k.'s opposition they were parties also pushing for artie's broadcast license to be revoked now that came via a letter to the country's t.v. regulator off called the watchdog is supposed to be independent 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 to give it its full title was created in 2003 by an act of parliament and it regulates britain's t.v. and radio broadcasts and promotes for competition of com blocks harmful or offensive content if there are complaints on r.t. has been a dog previously 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 pool 28 taken together these breaches represented serious and repeated failures of compliance with the rules in response to the latest allegations from the u.k. r t points out there's been no information and no false odds in any of our reporting that off come has assessed or to u.k. host afshin rattansi says it boils down to an issue of political interference. we now have the woods of sakineh stallman's 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 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 tom has crossed a line he's attempting perhaps to interfere with an independent. independent media regulated politically. though ahead on the program israel's prime minister is facing relentless calls to resign over his corruption trial and in demick story after the break.

that's geysers. bell a. lot of teasing this is a central plank support diatomic kind of problem right now it's a stop to. capitalism in the united states and in the united states the leading capitalist in this country. i'm not a global capitalist graham. believes the middle class without jobs without a future it's a disaster and you're covered over with. but the reality is a disaster and from more you will see other people emerge trying to make a political career by.

60 minutes into the program could run $5000.00 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 brushes 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 week.

well let's take a look at what is causing the protesters are on happy with the government's handling of the coronavirus they're resisting the return of a number of lockdown measures due to a spike in infections they also say the prime minister and his cabinet feel to manage the economic fall. the pandemic on top of all the there's 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. do not drag this state into anarchy violence vandalism and the spreading of disease through terrible

sanitary practices and 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 perlman political analyst mitchell brock 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 this 2nd time around a large group of protesters are protesting that the prime minister is are up 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 and parcel of the democratic debate around how to handle both the economic sides of the pandemic and the medical side as well. this week the world health organization sundered the alarm over coronavirus infections in europe calling them worrying spain belgium seeing some of the most recent spikes in cases it's led to several european countries me being personal protective equipment

p p mandatory in all public spaces with more on the fears of a 2nd wave your sorry europe correspondent peter all of. 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 loosened the world health organization is warning about a potential spike in the virus with eastern europe and the polk 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 would force off the worst the pandemic count to offer but there's also being spikes there as well in spain for example the number of new infections has tripled recently in this 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 $500.00 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 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 have 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 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 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 and for. actions in europe. covert 1000 of course been a fatal reality for many people around the world there's barely a minute in the day isn't there that it's not mentioned but rather than getting done about all the terrifying headlines one couple in rio de janeiro saw an opportunity to help a bit of fun all while also indulging a lifelong fascination with space travel to get. you to do. it and. to get everything you need. to get. to 5966 part of the code good risk group and in cornton of home i get really anxious feeling that i had to go out and do things but could not see me infection rate was really high i.

get 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 coby tall schools he didn't create a dinosaur costume to visit his family it was very touching so i thought about doing something similar to go out. and petersburg house staged it's a new all parade celebrating navy day over 40 warships naval aviation more than 4000 personnel took part in the if it here are some of the highlights from russia's northern capital.

yeah pretty incredible colors on show with their other love is some of the stories that shift the past week after the break we're back with the latest worlds apart episode and examines got the socialists and globalists on her mind statement. was a pandemic no certainly no borders and a slide into nationalities. has

emerged little time with the we don't look like world peace to. judge a. commentary crisis like this sometimes. we can do better we should be. everyone is contributing each other own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together.

we go to work. straight home. welcome to worlds apart from today kids of telling other nations how to live their lives and build their societies than americans all of a sudden woke up to the realisation that their own house is held in order and 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 discuss 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 like 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. 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 in 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 focused than 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 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.
