In time. Hello good afternoon hope weekends going good live from r t h q moscow this sunday the 7th of june look to the weekly with me kevin 0 in our round up of the big stories of the day and the week just gone and of course the main news was in for america from washington to l. A. And from philadelphia to chicago saturday saw the United States big cities filled with protesters against racism and Police Brutality nearly 2 weeks after the death of george floyd mostly peaceful scenes throughout to earlier this week when agitated crowds felt the full force of riot police and military vehicles patrolled americas streets at least 11 died during the protests and only 4 former officers present when george floyd was killed will face murder charges. In. Coast to coast and from small groups to streets filled with fury theres been protests throughout the week in all 50 states that actual guard was deployed and 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 our aggression is shown is when the police have come out and shown force was struck and 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 is a call made 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 our unjustifiable 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. d they come from neighborhoods that you know economically deprived 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 rallies this week has forced businesses to take precautions you saw wooden hoardings and smashed windows lining even streets of the most prestigious shopping districts some looters went to extreme measures check this forklift used to run a full exe retailer in california. Some owners are going even further with their security measures with stuff arming themselves caleb maupin of the week took us through why the looting rist erupting into something more serious. Here is one thing the protests against the. Taliban. Was not. However finite the protests take a much more violent or. Lendl is a movement and attacks 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 arent i 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 trying to get up in the schoolyard stuff. Right now oh my. God. Is enough about the buy wants breeds violence is the riots keep going the Police Response is gone as far as ramming cars and crowds amid this chaos Business Owners that decided to take their own security into their own hands in the most american way ok oh ok ok you run my. Own you think im going to be i would you know no no no no no no the authorities have been openly suggesting store owners protect themselves with guns and if you try to break into their homes to still. To set fires highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns armed vigilante groups are now patrolling the streets they say take it in the back here thank you sir you know were briefing the press these are police and we are up here they are 15 we are protecting our neighborhood. All of this arrested for civil conflict across america some communities have been very much at odds with each other too over the street rallies look at these pictures a peaceful march in the state of indiana on monday no signs of aggression but the route lined with locals armed with rifles watching most carefully as they pass by its been happening elsewhere. In the court of state its all. Right. So yeah. These guys are ready rather than playing you know what were doing here is were protecting them trolling our neighborhood after the riot started out and 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 coming up taken out of sight of russian restaurant in San Diego California well armed locals lined up to defend that premises the owner is among those who felt the need to be armed in the current circumstances he told me about what its been like there. We 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 piece which you see. Young american young young black lives being lost something stupid like this could have been avoided and the fact that you know people are looking doesnt help because thats thats just my personal experience my personal opinion you know there could be. Could be better ways to go about this and then robbing Small Businesses because these people have nothing to do with it. Oh. I. See washington d. C. And choose their protests as another generally peaceful it seemed rally were forced off the streets with tear gas and stun grenades to clear the way for president trying to controversially have a photo op outside the church near the white house he later tweeted get tough democrat mayors and governors and will that if and rest continued to do whatever it took to stop the chaos. The 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 recommend it 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 is words to go down well with several governors who condemned his remarks as. Metry and dangerous you know and he wrote fencing quickly sprung up around the white house on thursday the National Guard also increased its presence u. S. Newsman and artie host larry king says the current Political Leadership is failing in things 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. Donald trumps threat to send in the military to quell the nationwide protest live some World Leaders scratching their heads of 3 previously condemned them for being tough on violence in their countries for one the Iranian Foreign minister coming out swinging a week ago he took a red marker to a 2800 statement from u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei o on protests in iran with key words replaced to fire the criticism squarely back at washington so how much do as i say not as i do is going to play here when hes a Senior CorrespondentLourdes Garcia human rights human lives she moves 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 little 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 them 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 Reiterate our 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 the 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. Alone here 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 there walt has got hurt your outcry over it is that operation the wall deuce standing. There america this year is pursuing violence and bullying to tell me an approach what they dont get is that america is exceptional he said of plenty of times the congressmen the officials the president most americans thought that included them 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 even injuries from tear gas to tasers to rubber bullets and even vehicles being driven into crowds that are now multiple lawsuits in investigations into Police Conduct overkill so a new York Police Department vehicle failed attempting to drive through a crowd last saturday. And then this was live streamed on facebook a man pepper sprayed by an officer in michigan for having a tear gas canister fired at him from barely a meter away also then to new York Police Officers pleading not guilty to assault after they were filmed aggressively pushing an elderly protester then fell to the ground sustained a head injury and in the city of atlanta 2 officers have been sacked after forcibly arresting 2 students despite the tension the chaos the uncertainty on that many streets there were some glimmers of lights along the way to look at this protest in california running up to a Police Officer and given him a hug similar scenes in kentucky kind of thing as well and offices in some cities have been seen symbolically kneeling in solidarity with the protesters who saw that time and again. I. Was. I. Know it took police are going to kneel with the protesters if theyre going to. Embracing the protesters desk good because the police are human too i served as a Police Officer myself for 24 years here in washington d. C. I witnessed Police Brutality about some of the people that i worked with its about turn 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 shores has been the solidarity demonstrations throughout the week frustrated and tina while in europe there were large scale rallies in britain italy sweden greece and the netherlands most of peaceful but some also descended into violent clashes to. Me of riot police on the side of the right at least 5 of them right means there 6 is about a few 100 people inside this have it now this place is called cancelling the people have entirely no rights so therefore they cannot accept the idea its a containment process but actually it seems it was selfconceit to really riled the masses but i dont think that god right now as i speak we can see that theres a bit of a scuffle getting you know directions it feels like the police are trying to settle. And closer and closer to try and link up the protesters. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Spearing Dramatic Development only. Exists i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and. The world is driven by a dream shaped by. The day or thinks. We dare to ask. Again a major cleanup operation is underway in the Russian Arctic following a massive fuel leak in the city of norilsk theres now a state of emergency after 20000 tons of diesel seeped into a river and one environmentalist are calling the arctic regions worst ever catastrophe is so bad it could be seen from space these satellite images from the Russian Space agency rosko small scale an idea of the extent of the pollution containment device is known as boom barriers are in place to try to stop the fuel eventually reaching the sea more than a 1000 tons of diesel has been recovered but the worry is the cleanup could take years to complete their thought is a fear iest that they were only alerted to the leak 2 days after it happened. What on the list was not there but im pretty sure hes going you know 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. Just on twitter youre so sure it was through a rescue team intervened very quickly the fuel spill was localized in there and are now river and the rescuers have already started working intensively to collect up the oil. A footnote russias investor of committee is launched 3 investigations into what happened theyve now arrested the director of the power plant where the fuel tank failed. When europe shut down to stem the coronavirus sweden kept going host business is stayed open you may recall in what was seen at the time for a broader anyway as a risky move but the swedish state epidemiologist behind that strategy told a newspaper on wednesday 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 sweden dude and what the rest of the world good. Sweden suffered more than 4 a half 1000 deaths of a population of around 10000000 it makes it therefore the most affected of the scandinavian countries the others enforced harsher restrictions the swedish government says it was ready to take on white of measures against the virus if advised to by the Health Agency residence i was sure though a poll came out on thursday echoing others to suggesting that confidence among swedish citizens in the states ability to deal with the break has dropped significantly since april another swedish epidemiologist we spoke to thinks his country should have known better we only started we dont enter so i know why they didnt meet it then of course the nation asked how to wash their. Way wasnt really there it was centered the experiences of other countries around us it was started by normal student and by that very. And other countries so she was there to cannot see when we would not know then i dont. Know then you were trying to change for me they were trying to see system just ask you change and not only student also in other countries but where we are being i think much more around fortunately. Europes internal open borders are still some way off from being a 2 way street see in the week the italian Prime Minister angry at austria in greece for maintaining travel restrictions on a tally in citizens calling them discriminatory and totally unacceptable is because it leaves reopened its borders to e. U. Citizens on wednesday to try and breathe life into its stores Tourism Industry peter all of a next then looked at how getting around europe these days is not all as clear cut as it used to be. Summer is here and its good news for germans were wondering if theyre going to get a sunshine break this year the government here in berlin is lifting warnings against travel to european nations from the middle of this month the foreign minister heiko mass in making me announcement though was king to stress this isnt a green light for travel with wild abandon. Travel warnings or not travel bans and travel guidelines are not invitations we want to make it clear in our travel guidelines the travelers are not to go to the u. K. Were not essential and as long as there is a 14 day quarantine in place getting ahead of everyone else in europe is italy they opened their borders on wednesday the lockdown is brought upon italy the worst recession since world war 2 the government is looking to holiday make is to revive the economy Prime Minister conte says the crowds of travelers they hope will be flocking into the country is a risk italy is willing to take. We are facing a calculated risk knowing also and i say this sincerely that the epidemic logical code may rise again however there are fears the terrorists will skip visits to the coliseum and gondola rides this year its early is still reporting dozens of covert 19 cases daily a claim by a well known italian doctor that corona virus is losing potency the World Health Organization stepped in with International Experts warning against a false sense of security you know the reality is a virus practically no longer exists from a clinical standpoint it has got to return to being a normal country because theres evidence we can go back to having a normal life there are still thousands of people every day dying from this were so we need to be exceptionally careful not to create a sense that all of a sudden the virus by its old felician has now decided to be less pathogenic nevertheless the Italian Foreign minister is doing the rounds trying to convince everyone. That italy is safe for tourists to visit while local mayors are doing their part to try and draw people in to beaches restaurants and cafes that have been empty for too long. It sure is to be able to come to the sauna safely we are ready to reopen with Great Success we can accommodate many tourists the risk of contracting the virus is extremely low we have to accept people however it seems silly well still have to wait for its neighbors to open up as the reopening has already caused some troubles on the border. We can go there but we cant go back to france so if were going to get start there its not worth it those european nations that rely heavily on tourism cash are desperate for holiday makers to come to them the question now is how many will be willing to travel while coronavirus continues to infect people are all over r.
