A river red the Authorities Say they wont alerted in time. Good morning love from r t h q moscow this sunday the 7th of june welcome to the weekly with me kevin owen all round up of the big stories of the day and the week just gone 1st them from washington to l. A. And from philadelphia to chicago saturday saw the United States big cities filled with protesters keeping up the pressure against racism and Police Brutality mostly peaceful seems to right. Earlier this week when agitated crowds before force of riot police and military vehicles patrolled american streets. In action. You. Coast to coast in from small groups to streets filled with theory theres been protests throughout the week in all 50 states the National Guard was deployed in at least half of them curfews were imposed in at least 29 locations with demonstrators throughout the week describing continued heavy handed policing as rioting and looting spread. From the days that ive been out the only time that violence erupts or gresham is shown is when the police have come out and shown force was struck and as i was trying to walk away. From the protests they began openly shooting rounds of tear gas rubber bullets into the crowd. There was violence by the Police Called many in the streets of jacksonville they resulted in the necessary use of tear gas we suffered from tear gas and all types of progression and arrests in the ones that i wish were unjustifiable the violence was coming from the state from the police. Is that enough. They feel that no one cares. This is the only way to lash out at the system. They come from neighborhoods that there is you know economically deprived that you know its like you know you got to keep me low you going to. You know basically this system is merely on around it the ugly side of the weeks rallies is forced businesses to take precautions wooden holdings and smashed windows now lined the streets of the most prestigious shopping districts some looters went to extreme measures this forklift truck was used to ram an Electronics Retailer in california some owners are going even further to with their security measures some stuff arming themselves as we reported in the week caleb maupin took us through what the looting risks the repton into something more dangerous than. Heres one thinks of the protests against Police Brutality. I was 5. 000000 however by night the protests take a much more violent for. Lyndall ism moving and a tax on Business Owners many see this as an extreme expression of economic inequality obert. By looting bothers people so much more than knowing that across the country black men and women are tight the looting of america has been going on for over 40 is the copra saw the ultra rich though some Business Owners are even willing to stand with the looters also properties are always can be replace but loss of life so no theyre fully upset with the looting dont think that looting is necessary. But i definitely feel like something needs to be done you know to kind of protect everybody says large scale looting 250 buildings have been damaged in minnesota alone that prompted members of George Floyds family to call for calm not destroy stuff. On a 100 they dont know nobody i dont know why i cannot testify i was stuck telling one of the screw off stuff. Because i dont. Trust us enough about the violence breeds violence and the riots keep going the Police Response has gone as far as ramming cars and routes amid this chaos Business Owners that decided to take their own security into their own hands in the most american way ok ok ok you run my. Own you think im going to be i would you no no no no no no no the authorities have been openly suggesting store owners protect themselves nuns and if you try to break into their homes to still. To set fires. Im highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns armed vigilante groups are now patrolling the streets this is how you take a neighborhood back here thank you sir you know were bringing the rest of you police and we are all here they are 15 we are protecting our neighborhood. All of this arrested for civil conflict across america has some communities has been very much adults with each other over the street rallies check this peaceful march in the state of indiana all monday no signs of aggression but the route lined with locals armed with rifles watching so closely as they pass by like its been happening elsewhere too. On the court of the state its all. Right. Its just so yeah. These guys are ready man they play you know what were doing here is were protecting them trolling our neighborhood after the riots started out in south of minneapolis we have a conscious decision while the police were hammering out over there that we were going to come together and protect our buildings here and protect our families and our job i came out here because its about damn time. You know guys like me guys that you know would be viewed as just a heavily armed redneck and stuff like that good with fellow citizens regardless of race regardless of whether we were in the same local community or not its time we stand together. This picture was taken aside a russian restaurant is San Diego California where locals lined up to defend that promise is the owner is among those who felt the need to be in the current circumstances he talked to me about his experience. Experienced heavy looting in the city of san diego it wasnt in our neighborhood but it wasnt neighborhood mess of which just pretty close to us just maybe 6 miles outside of the town city limits where you know the the the protests started peacefully and then they started burning buildings i am a low city and it pains me to see this easy to see. Young american young young black lives being lost something stupid like this could have been awarded and the fact that you know people are looking doesnt help the cos thats thats just my personal experience my personal opinion you know there could be that. It could be better ways to go about this and then robbing Small Businesses because these people had nothing to do with it. In washington d. C. Chuse day protest is another generally peaceful rally were forced off the streets with tear gas and stun grenades to clear the way for President Trump to have a photo op outside of church in the white house he later tweeted get tough democrat mayors and governors and warned that if the unrest continues he do whatever it took to stop the chaos. In recent days our nation has been gripped by professional anarchies violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tea for and others today i have strongly recommended to every governor to deploy the National Guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets if a city or state refuses to take the actions that are necessary to defend the life and property of their residents then i will deploy the United States military and quickly solve the problem for them. His words didnt go down well with several governors who condemned his remarks as inflammatory and dangerous new antiriot fencing sprang up around the white house thursday at the National Guards also increased its presence to veteran u. S. Newsman and r. T. Host larry king says the current Political Leadership is failing to handle the situation. Im so sad and overall this because as a nation we seem to have progress and then we take a step back it amazes me the civil wars is over yet were still racism in america is so saying what we need now is a leader to lead us down trump has no empathy and youve got to have empathy at this time so we need a leader to take us forward without that and the sadness of what you see on the screen in washington blames the governors. And its all blame kicking around is just so damn sad. So dont trump threat to send in the military to quell the nationwide protest love some World Leaders scratching their heads to our free previously condemned them for being tough on violence in their countries the Iranian Foreign minister for one came out swinging a week ago he took a red marker to a 2800 statement from the u. S. Secretary of state might pump a 0 on protests in iran with key words replaced to fire the criticism squarely back at washington is so how much do as i say not as i do is put a play here is a Senior Correspondent of human rights human lives see militias cheap nowadays look at whats happening we have Police Brutality systemic racism inequality riots on top of mass protests on top of an economic crisis on top of a pandemic. Brights pale in comparison and that isnt me saying so we can all see it. But. The. People are dying even killing if the court agrees hundreds have been hurt entire streets looted and torched the structure rage and anger over there on both sides thats hate something thats going to disappear in a week the 1st amendment of the Us Constitution guarantees peoples right to peaceful protest to freedom of speech and to the right of the press to do its thing heres what the police think of that paint balls and rubber bullets a literal slap to the face with little concern that theyre shooting at a journalist or Peaceful Protesters and you know what its not enough trump wants to make an example youve got to arrest people you have to track people you have to put them in jail for 10 years and youll never see this stuff again you have to dominate or youll look like a bunch of jerks but lets be frank police are under huge pressure rioters lingle with the protesters looting and burning in egging everyone else on that they must be dealt with but like these wheres the condemnation president tom trump tweeted when the looting starts the shooting starts what did you think when you read that but i have long kept to the selfimposed guidance not to comment on what President Trump says appropriate or indeed other World Leaders its not really what my job is that all the journalists so much as trips over in china for example Rights Groups get an aneurism. The irony is overwhelming just weeks ago washington was preaching to everyone about how sacred protests are the United States is gravely concerned by the deepening political unrest and violence in hong kong including the standoff between protesters and police free iterate or warning about any decision or remnant elements of the mature regime to use violence to repress press the peaceful democratic transition the iranian people are once again on the streets because of the regimes poor economic management. And instead of it dressing their grievances tehran has responded with violence and by blaming those outside of the country naturally those usually on the receiving end of american lectures have not passed this opportunity to sleep america all of our launch and as a phrase i dont see they take their own countrys National Security very seriously but for the security of our country especially the situation in hong kong they look to tinted spectacles we have recently seen these kinds of double standards most clearly with the riots in the United States we see how the local authorities have reacted but last year when we had similar riots in hong kong what was their position to the American People. Their walled has got hurt your outcry over this state operation there was this standing. To america this year is pursuing violence and bullying to tell me an approach to what they dont get is that america is exceptional if said it plenty of times the congressmen the officials the president most americans thought that included them it never did its the state thats exceptional those in power the police the military theyre exceptional the American People know to them you would just like everybody else. The protests may have Police Brutality at their core but plenty of videos of merge throughout the week showing officers taking things too far theres been injuries from tear gas tasers rubber bullets and even vehicles being driven into crowds there are now multiple lawsuits and investigations into Police Conduct and a new York Police Department vehicle was filled attempting to drive through a crowd last saturday and then this was live streamed on facebook a man pepper sprayed by an officer of michigan who having a tear gas canister fire thats him from barely a meter away also to new York Police Officers have pleaded not guilty to assault after they were filmed aggressively pushing an elderly protester who then sell and sustained a head injury which in the city of atlanta 2 officers have been sacked after forcibly arresting 2 students. Despite the tension in the chaosium center many streets the worse and glimmers of light along the way to check this one protester in california running up to a Police Officer and giving them a hug there was similar scenes in kentucky 2 officers in some cities have also been seen symbolically kneeling in solidarity with the protesters that see that from him it was. God. I. Was i was. If the police are going to kneel with the protesters theyre going to be embracing the protesters the desk good god because the police are human too i served as a Police Officer myself for 24 years here in washington d. C. And i witnessed Police Brutality by some of the people that i work with its about time that we have some i would say several into bichon in it because it just makes sense that there should be some federal standards associated with all these behavior in our cities and then our communities. Away from us shows the solidarity demonstrations throughout the week from australia to argentina while in europe there were large scale rallies in britain italy sweden greece and the netherlands most peaceful but descending into violent clashes. Find me a riot police on the side of the right at least ive been there my base there is about feeling 100 people inside this abit now this place is called cancelling the the police have entirely else but it just is so that they cannot exist the idea is a containment crisis but actually it seems the only self and see to really rile the masses up but ive been there in the cold i might know as d i speak we can see that theres a bit of a scuffle driving alone in all directions it feels like the police are trying to sell me and closer and closer to try and gulp the protesters. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy you confront a shouldnt let it be an arms race based on often speak very dramatic developments only really im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. The world is driven by a dream shaped by. The barriers thinks. We are here to ask. Good morning when europe shut down to stem the coronavirus sweden kept going most businesses stayed open in what was seen from abroad as a risky move but the swedish state epidemiologist none the less be on that side he told a newspaper a wednesday that although it caused too many deaths he doesnt think it was wholly wrong. If we were to encounter the same disease with exactly what we know about it today i think we would learn midway between what sweden did and what the rest of the world good. So even suffered more than 4 100000 deaths out of a population of around 10000000. 00 that makes it the most affected of the scandinavian countries the others enforced harsher restrictions the swedish government though says it was ready to take on why did measures against the virus if advised to by the Health Agency where residents are so sure a poll out on thursday echoed others suggesting that confidence among swedish citizen the sin the states ability to deal with the break has dropped significantly since april plenty of experts to a move the same provide enough theyre planning apparently to pack up and ship out as soon as they can one of them told us why her dream moved to sweden has bitten the dust my mom is swedish i grew up you know very nicely magistri than anyone actually lengthiest when we moved here it was really a paradox that most now could be there right in every march here and actually everything changed into our minds a lot of cats. Are not feeling anymore and we are really thinking are moving out our eden is actually if we consider the nordic countries around us they have all of me and different cultures here and you cannot go directly to a doctor you need to go through en route r. And talk to a nurse and a nurse will get started you can get through. And once you get your doctor its always a different doctors that they dont know us will really be banal you know youve been what are you each use and you have to explain again and again sweden is no finding itself marginalized from scandinavian cooperation as those locked and aids norway and denmark case in point of lifted travel checks with each other but arent opening borders with a neighbor the danish Prime Minister says its because the countries are in quote different places in relation to the pandemic another swedish epidemiologist we spoke to thinks his country should have known better. We only started we dont get better either why didnt you. Meters then of course the information asked how to do it better washer in their. Way wasnt really there it was centered in the experiences of other countries around us it was started by a student and by that very day and other countries so she was there to do cannot see when we would not know then dont. Know then they were trying to sing for me they were trying to see system just that mindset has to be strange and not only student also in other countries but weird weird being i think much more unfortunately. Here this is big news in the week a major cleanup operation underway in the Russian Arctic after a massive fuel leak in the city of norilsk theres no state of emergency after 20000 tons of diesel seeped into a river and what environmentalist are calling the arctic regions worst ever catastrophe is so bad it can be seen from space check the satellite images from the Russian Space agency ross cosmos to give you an idea of the extent of the pollution containment device is known as boom barriers are in place to try and stop the fill reaching the sea several 100 tons of diesel have been recovered so far but the worry is the cleanup could take years to complete the authorities are furious that they were only alerted to the leak 2 days after it happened. Were going to list those no no but im pretty sure its good news what did the authorities only come to know about this after 2 days and were now going to find out about emergencies like these from social media are you feeling all right. d you simply said youre so sure it was sort of a rescue team intervene very quickly the fuel spill was localized in their own barn a river and the rescuers have already started working intensively to collect ill be boiled. Footnote to this russias investigative committees launched 3 investigations into what happened to the arrested the director of the power plant where the fuel tank fell will update you on that story of course and you can follow it as well on line r.
