the. carnage on american streets blocked protesters dorothy's face off we hear from a reporter who was caught up in a police truck in seattle to get closer to get i'm saying a peaceful packing up and then you see a police officer. shot back i started filming him. directly. among the other stories that shape the week of the u.k.'s opposition labor party pushes for r t s broadcast license to be revoked 3 reports on the alleged russian influence we. will. be honest i don't believe. because this is more of

a more destruction. really going on i just think the thank you so why should be if you. see 2nd wave several countries see a spike in cruel virus cases just weeks after reopening their doors to the wrists also ahead. was. gripped by public outrage over the prime minister's humbling the. corruption probe i can stand. with the big stories of the past 7 days on right up to the moment of elements as well this is the weekly r t international hello and welcome. a wave of streets on risk gripped major american

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

well in one incident on an 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 during clashes throughout the day i. in central seattle police used pepper spray to force crowds back some were seen beating activists with sticks one reporter from the moment he was purposefully. great. had a. gun i just got stuck. on a train i just got shot it's right in about. well among the people we spoke to in the city on sunday was joey wiser the journalist

and activist you just saw all being pepper sprayed we get to a point where the police vents on the protesters and 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 drawn off i turn myself around and try to get. start filming him pepper sprayed me directly and i now at that point i cannot breathe and i cannot see helicopters flying. in the middle of the premise. of the police. well earlier this week more than a dozen u.s. murders mainly democrats a boy still alarm over the federal crack done but president trump refuses to buckle

on the move saying that more troops will be sent to trouble spots things. i think in their own way they want us to go and they'll be a time where 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 in stop any unconstitutional actions you know its focus a little bit longer in portland because chaos really has had retailers there in particular several stores have been found looted over the past number of months one of the targets was a jewelry store that had been operating for 30 years there in may looters broke into the premises and stole a lot of items the owner told us clients are afraid to go. 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 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 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 the movie and we don't hold people accountable for this stuff is going to continue and get their leadership field that business is the residents of downtown portland big time and despite this is happening there is no accountability being held right now against looters. let's move the program on the u.k.

government sees it as draw a 30 year strategy for dealing with this suppose a threat posed by the kremlin there are reports of alleged russian meddling was released on tuesday be inquiry accused london are 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 more want to know if there was what is the worst example you can give all 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 to introduce a new espionage act outs in response to the russian report the report publication was the late by the government for a year and a half before it was finally released on choose they picking apart what was in it the artes the new organs. we 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 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 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 danielle hawking's doing the reading for us where we go reaction from londoners about the claims made in the russian report . we're a 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 need to feel. this kind of thing to do with that lately

feeling that if they would take this no way to make a lesson to get me where. you know other countries ruined the politics of other people who try to influence government in chips or 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 a letter to the country's t.v. regulator off calm the watchdog isn't dependent and supposed to be immune 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 authors of communications to give it its full title was created in 2003 by an act of parliament it regulates britain's t.v.

radio broadcast on promotes for competition off calm blocks harmful or offensive content if there are complaints on r.t. has been in the dock 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 2018 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. points out there's been no misinformation or fault in any of our reporting that off com has assessed our to u.k. host afshin rattansi say that boils down to an issue of political interference we now have the woods secure storm is shadow because we do culture media and sport secretary in a private letter sent to this independent regulator saying who is 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 starmer 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 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 he stammers crossed a line here he is attempting perhaps to interfere with an independent. independent media regulated politically. still to come this hour on our to international european nations scramble to prevent a 2nd wave of covert 19 but the world health organization is concerned it might not

be enough we get into that plenty more besides in 90 seconds and cutting. capitalism in the united states and in the united states the leading capitalists in this country are now global capitalism. that leaves the middle class without jobs without a future disaster covered over with. the reality is a disaster and it was good from work you would see other people. trying to make a political career by. just russia be meddling in the u.k.

politics according to an official reports the answer is maybe trying to end the usual highly likely reports that also secretary of state might be crusade against china does anyone outside the beltway really care. so we've been going through lots of protests in the u.s. but also lots happening in israel around 5000 people flooded the streets of jerusalem on saturday night demanding the resignation of the country's prime minister who was earlier indicted on rofft charges police made at least a dozen arrests clashes were reported between rival groups with speaking out in support of benjamin netanyahu the crowds have been rallying in the city center

throughout the entire week. well let's take a look at what is causing the anger protesters are on helping with the government's handling of 19 they are resisting the return of a number of lockdown measures due to a spike in infections they also say the prime minister and his cabinet have feel to manage the economic fallout of the pandemic on top of all the out there 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. 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 perlman and political analyst michel barak gave us their views on the civil unrest. in that. there was functioning and everything did seem under control until everything went 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 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 new prime minister and on his government policies and that's expressed on the streets as well it's pretty much pot impossible of the democratic debate around how to handle the economic sides of the pandemic and the medical side as well. this week the world

health organization sun did the alarm over a spike in corona virus infections across europe calling them worrying spain belgium and france seeing some of the largest new always brings its lead to several european countries making personal protective equipment munda tree in all public spaces with more all naif years of a 2nd wave here's our 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 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 this 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 phase 5 of easing the restrictions there will be reinforcements taken to counter this part of the coronavirus instead. germany has been very successful in 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 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 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 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 pour in to the people who are nearby in europe the orders 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 and. actions in europe. banking has of course been a fatal reality for many people around the world and there's barely a minute in the day it's not mentioned but rather than getting done about all the terrifying headlines 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 and. to get. it.

to 5966 part of the code could risk group and the current a new time i get really anxious feeling that i had to go out and do things but could not see any infection rate was really high. to 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 he didn't created a dinosaur costume to visit his family he was very touching so i thought about doing something similar to go out. in petersburg staged it's a new all parade celebrating navy day over 40 warships in naval aviation more than

$4000.00 personnel took part in the event let's take a look at some of the highlights from russia's northern capital. where some of the stories that made our headlines throughout the week for up to the minute developments to give our twitter page are follow well worth all of your

scrolling time and. ah no team no crowd. no shots no. action to help speed up. well it's true you know the 1st. point ch your thirst for action. the sudden fullest and illegal takeover of a government by a small group. so rather than revolutionaries or soldiers conduct small groups the goal for ration is when you have

a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure that most of us don't get together and take it back. these are sacrificed some places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit and left behind misery poverty environmental devastation and so you see things like voter suppression building more prisons you seem gerrymandering all sorts of undemocratic practices for wealth use of that world for well into the focused world and there's no question that the coup d'etat.

in 1996 something happened different a company called purdue pharmaceutical came out with a drug called oxycontin and they started a mere and falsely promoted that opioids were rarely. maybe only one percent of the could you get addicted to no. that was not true. and it is not true and 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 was about these tricks they caused this. i believe with every fiber of my being. back in 1906 the 1st promotional campaign for it 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 and. the 6 cases show how wrong those views were. in this little film the public was assured with certification the content would show no risk of addiction despite its high concentration in opium to make it believable a real doctor and real patients with this. feeling that this treatment usually reserved for patients in the terminal phase of cancer can be used without any danger for common pain. they are going to enjoy every day you know you can really enjoy a mass a.
