move. because it's just more destruction. really going well i just think we can't keep going so why should the pm. also had on the programme several huge country see a spike in corona virus cases just weeks after reopening the worst to tourists also and. i know that. israel is gripped by public eye of rage over the prime minister's humbling. and. corruption. but the big stories of the past 7 days and right up to the moment of elements as well this is the weekly on r.t. international hello and welcome

a wave of streets on risk gripped major american cities today some of the worst riots were seen in seattle and in portland.

and one incident on an identified device exploded next to a 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. in central seattle police used pepper spray to force the crowd buck some were seen beating activists with sticks one reporter filmed the moment he was pepper sprayed . for a. day. i'm. gone i've got some. great i just got shot it's writing about 2. well among the people we spoke to

a biodefense in the city sunday was joey wiser joeys the journalist and activists you just saw him being pepper sprayed. we get to a point where the police. that's 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 . i start filming him and then he pepper sprayed me directly and i know at that point i cannot breathe and i cannot see helicopters flying all over me. in the middle of the premise. of the police. well earlier this week more than a dozen u.s. marriage mainly democrats voiced alarm over the federal crack done but president

trump refused to back down saying more troops would be sent to trouble spots that things. 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. of from for occasions of course to the chaos being seen in portland sitting for retailers several stores have been vandalized and looted over the past 2 months one of the targets was a jewelry store that's been operating for 30 years there in may looters broke into the premises and stall numerous items the owner know i 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 a lot of graffiti just destruction everywhere and we're very disappointed with the studio officials 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 and 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 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 despite this is happening there is no accountability being held right now against looters. the u.k. government has drawn up a 30 year strategy for dealing with this suppose

a threat posed by the kremlin a report on a ledge rushed. in meddling was released on tuesday the inquiry accused london 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 the u.k. government tributes are off the ball because of its focus on counterterrorism 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 would want to know if there was what is the worst example you can do 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 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 artist daniel hawkins looks at what is 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 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 or we sent a camera correspondent out on the streets of london to get some reaction to the claims made in this russian report. your nation i don't believe. the position more saddam or destruction was really going on. and the photo was shot of russia or. just by the enemy i just think we can't get to you so why should they interfere and this kind of thing to do with them lately to know if they would take 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 fallout of the russian report the u.k.'s opposition labor party is also pushing for artie's broadcast license to be revoked that came via letter to the country's t.v. regulator ofcom the watchdog a supposed to be independent under mune from political pressure i am writing to requested 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 a parliament it regulates britain's t.v. and radio broadcasts and promotes for competition off come blocks harmful or offensive content if there are complaints and r.t.d. has been in the dark 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 point thought there's been no misinformation or false so that in any of our reporting it off come assessed r t u k host option retells he says it boils down to an issue of political interference . we now have the woods sakina 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 as to what to politically interfere with an independent regulator devastated the fact that sick 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 the estimate is crossed a line here he's attempting perhaps to interfere with an independent. independent media regulator politically. still ahead on our team international israel's prime minister is facing relentless calls to resign over his corruption trial and handling of the pandemic that story and more for you in 90 seconds and counting.

you cannot be both with the yeah you're right. the world is driven by a dreamer shaped by our own personal those but. no

jerry thinks. we dare to ask. let's get going again in the middle east where around 5000 people flooded the streets of jerusalem on some of the 9th demanding the resignation of the israeli prime minister who was earlier indicted on graft charges police made up police that doesn't arrest 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 week.

well let's take a look at what is causing the anger protestors are on helping with the government's handling of the coronavirus they're resisting the return of a number of locked on measures due to a spike in infections they also say the prime minister and his cabinet feel to manage the economic fallout of the pandemic now on top of 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 'd 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. 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 be is really president's office jason perlman political analyst mitchell but iraq gave us their views on the civil unrest and anger 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. 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 economic 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 new prime minister and on his government's policies and that's expressed on the streets as well it's pretty much pot and possible of the democratic debates around how to handle both economic sides of the pandemic and the medical side as well. this week the world health organization sundered the alarm over corona virus infections in europe

calling them worrying spain belgian from seen some of the most recent spikes and cases it's led to several european countries making personal protective equipment munda tree in all public spaces with more on the fears of a 2nd wave here's our europe correspondent peter all over. the summer sun has encouraged. today 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 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 would 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 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 phase 5 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 is a very good way to spread this. buyers' thing 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 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 and 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. covert 19 hours of course being a fatal reality for many people around the globe there's barely a minute in the day it's not mentioned but rather than getting done about all the terrifying headlines frankly 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. to get. it. to 5966 part of the code good risk

group and in cornton it home i got 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 getting created a dinosaur costume to visit his family that was very touching so i thought about doing something similar to go out. and let's bring you a colorful scene us and petersburg have staged it's a new all parade celebrating navy day or 40 warships naval aviation and more than $4000.00 personnel took place in the event here are some of the highlights from russia's northern cal but all.

some petersburg in the summer so well that is where we leave our review of the news week for another but our program is keep it coming find out what's showing where you are after the short breaks this is the internet.

a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sell their bodies on the streets many of them underage. los angeles police reveal a taste of their daily challenge no if you're going to exploit for

a child here in los angeles they were going to come after you it was a officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to fight the early 6 trade. julian associate travels to sweden to deliver a speech while there he met 2 women aged 31 and 26 the wiki leaks founder was soon involved in an intimate relationship with both of them. and the woman who had invited him to space also offered her apartment which is studio so there's only one there's only one bed in a tent she said i'm going to be away you can stay so great. how everything's chang and the woman came back. and. wanted julie and nate there anyway.

most women they really approached him it seems like especially the younger ones saw him on t.v. fell into law whatever that means to be the 1st in there it looks like someone who wants to be a rock n roll groupie thing approaching him and really chasing him down and finally she also succeeds in it and they share a one eyed stare which at some point becomes about a condom you know. it was only after learning that a song should slept with both of them at the women decided to go to the police that proved a turning point both from wiki leaks. and for julian assange it was when this story took a very different. women went to the police. and once there to report a rape they report they wanted to encourage him to have an h.r.

vetoes because they have had sex with him unprotected and. so there was no like actual rape right there was no violence there although all the newspapers afterwards they were saying rape allegations rape allegations there was no actual rape that this is this this this is it but this is exactly this is that was the aim of the whole exercise to start hearing the would rape in connection with. destination and. the 2 links in the round and you. know when the rain allegation the feeling is ringing easing is more news in the renomination. in many people's minds there's something suspicious about him and because he hasn't and he's run away from. i think it would have been better had he gone to sweden because i think he needed his opportunities clear his name but.
