a more destruction what's really going on i just take the cake so what should be the. fears of a 2nd wave. several e.u. countries see a spike in coronavirus cases just weeks after reopening their doors to tourists also ahead. was. that. israel the country's grip following public outrage over the prime minister's humbling of a punt amid an ongoing corruption probe against the even bigger. with the big stories of the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly on our team international welcome. a wave of streets on

the wrist gripped major american cities all over again some of the worst riots were in seattle and in portland this take a look. at me.

well in one incident all identified device exploded next to a seattle police department precinct during 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. beating activists what's the one reporter from the moment he was pepper spray. great. as a. gun i just got shot. at a train i just got shot it's right in about 2. well among the people we spoke to in the city on saturday it was joe we wiser the

journalists 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. 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. now and at that point i cannot breathe and i cannot see helicopters flying. in the middle of the protests. the police. when earlier this week more than a dozen u.s. emerged mainly democrats voiced alarm over the federal crackdown but president

trump refused to book the adding more troops will be sent to troubled spots. 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 and all the chaos has hit retailers hard in portland for a while and several stores have been found the lies that looted over the past 2 months one of the targets was a jewelry store that's been operating for 30 years there in may the looters broke into the premises the store 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 lot of graffiti just destruction everywhere and we're very disappointed with the studio fishbowls i don't consider what they're doing is due to ship when you feel businesses like 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 and 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 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 sees it has drawn all 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 big threats seriously. who is protecting the british public from interference in our democratic process will not show we found no one is b. u.k. government tributes are 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 more want to know if there was what is the worst example you can give all the russian interfere in 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 russian report now the reports publication with the laid by the government for a year and a half before it was finally released on to the our teens the new hawkins runs us through it. 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 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 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 that again the impact of such influence remains elusive. impacts 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 during the reading while we got the thoughts of londoners about the claims made in the russian report the nation i don't believe. the position more seldom or destruction was really going on . and the photo was shot of russia as. just by the enemy i just think we can't get to date so why should they need to feel. this kind of thing to do it that way pretending that 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 for government interest some of the views in the british capital well as part of the following to all of the rush report the u.k.'s opposition labor party is also pushing for r.t.s. broadcast license to be revoked but came via a letter to the country's t.v. regulator ofcom the watchdog is independent 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 office of communications to give it its full time it was created in 2003 by an act of parliament that regulates britain's t.v. and radio broadcasts and promotes for competition off come blocks harmful or offensive content if there are complaints that r.t.d.

has been in the dark previously. our investigation from the r.t.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 or in response to the latest allegations from the u.k. r.t. pointed out there's been no misinformation or false in any of our reporting that often assessed r t u k o stuff. that boils dawn to an issue of political interference we now have the words of secure stormers 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 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 stammers crossed a line here he is attempting perhaps to interfere with an independent. independent media regulator politically. still ahead this hour all r t international the european nations scramble to prevent a 2nd wave of. the world health organization is concerned it might not be enough

plenty more still ahead on the program for the short. just rush of the meddling in the u.k. politics according to initial reports the answer is maybe condit and the usual highly likely report is that also secretary of state might bump you know use on a crusade against china does anyone outside the beltway really share. this thing is that when you have money printers in charge the act of printing all that paper money to hang around guys themselves really fills their head with dreams of its fiat's of primacy that's the ultimate form of supremacy is i print therefore i am and if you can pull the levers of political power with their fear of money if you can acquire assets with their feet that money it gives you that god complex

that we have so much over around the world and countries and big corporations and now it's all going to come crashing down. 16 minutes past 2 am here in moscow welcome back no around 5000 people flooded the streets of jerusalem on saturday night the monday the resignation of the israeli prime minister who was earlier indicted on graph charges made at least that those in the west flushes were liquid. rival groups with some speaking out in support of benjamin netanyahu crowds have been rallying in the city center fraud be entirely.

well let's look out what is causing the anger protestors are unhappy with the government's handling of covert 19 they are resisting the return of a number of lockdown measures due to the spike in infections they also say the prime minister and his cabinet have failed to manage the economic fallout of the deck on top of all the thirst simmering anger over corruption charges against mr netanyahu the prime minister's trial resumes next year with witness testimonies now he's accused of fraud breach of trust of accepting bribes nessun yahoo has denied

all charges calling them part of a political witch hunt and he's condemn the ongoing protests. not dragging 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 and political analyst mitchell rock there are a few civil unrest. in it. 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 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'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

a spike in corona virus infections or cross europe calling them worrying spain belgium and france of seeing some of the largest new outbreaks that'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 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 fall can 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 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 phase 5 of the 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 trial. bling is 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 ride 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 a political but mostly economy in europe is more concerned with the economy and 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 is 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 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 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. infections in europe. over 19 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 down 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. it. took

simplicity i'm 66 part of the code 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 code be taught in schools getting created dinosaur costume to visit his family it was very touching so i thought about doing something similar to go out. since petersburg staged it's a new well parade celebrating navy day over 40 warships naval aviation more than 4000 personnel took part let's take a look out some of the highlights albeit in russia's northern capital.

please. liz. bergen summer a fine place to be. the week before no hope you got your fill of the stories that shape the past week more great programs get going in moments hope you'll stick around for that from our moscow h.q. this is international.

industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women. on the street many of them under age. police reveal a taste of the daily challenge if you're going to exploit a child here in los angeles we're going to. see officers going undercover as 6 workers and customers to find 6 trades. 54 jets and more than 1300 military personnel are headed to air force base in alaska where is that to say come on i'll show you what's the reason for any type of enhanced u.s. military presence in this area rush up. what is it suddenly about the south china

sea that makes it so that it 11000000000 barrels of oil. take a look at this map who really owns what kind of says no it belongs to us india says no we claim that that belongs to us both of these countries have nuclear weapons capabilities there is reason for concern so that's why we're going to drill down on this story for you today right here on the news with rick sanchez where you know as we always like to say we do believe by golly it's time to do news again. there. are a. ton

welcome to worlds apart after decades of telling our their nations how to live their lives and build their societies damn americans all of a sudden woke up to the realisation that their own house is held in order in a big way so much so that it warrants the full denunciation of their history who can make america great again and how to discover 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 capitalism for why the long time blaming it for everything from systemic racism to the adequate 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 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 focussed then anything else which is what the united states has tried to push around the world privatization private is.
