A river red the Authorities Say they werent alerted in time. Hello live from moscow this sunday the 7th of june welcome to the weekly with me kevin 0 in a round of the big stories of the day and the week just gone saw them 1st from washington to our les 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 earlier this week when agitated crowds felt the full force of riot police and military vehicles patrolling americas streets at least 11 have died during the protests and all 4 former officers present when george floyd died will face murder charges. In. Coast to coast from small groups to streets filled with theory theyve been protests throughout the week in all 50 states the National Guard has deployed 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 forrests 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 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 were 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. They come from neighborhoods that this you know economically deprived it you know its like you know you got to keep me lol you going to. You know basically this system is putting their knee on around it the ugly side of the weeks rallies is forced business has to take precautions wouldnt holding smashed windows now line the streets of even the most prestigious shopping districts suddenly went to extreme measures check this forklift used to run Electronics Retailer in california. Some owners going even further with this security measures with stuff arming themselves to kill a moped next took us through why the looting risk erupting into something much more dangerous. Heres one thing he says the protests against Police Brutality was was done. 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 die 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 i know 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 a large scale looting 250 buildings have been damaged in minnesota alone that prompted members of George Floyds family to call her home got this car stuck. On a 100 they dont know nobody dont know you cannot testify i was stuck telling one of the screw off the. Top of. Her is enough about the buy wants breeds violence is 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 1 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 with guns 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 a take a neighborhood back here thank you sir you know were ready for the rest of your policing we are all here they are 15 we are protecting our neighborhood. And all of this arrested for civil conflict across america. Indeed some communities have been very much at all to the each other over the street rallies you see here is a paste full of macho the face of it in the state of indiana monday no signs of aggression but the root lined with locals armed with rifles watching most closely as they pass by its been happening elsewhere to. Stay or its all. Right. Stand still yeah. You guys are ready man they play you know what were doing here is were protecting them trolling our neighborhood after the riot started out in south 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 until 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. Now this picture by the sea was taken out of southern russia restaurant in San Diego California where armed locals lined up to defend that premise is the owner is among those who felt the need to be armed in the current circumstances he talked to me about what its been like then. We experienced heavy looting in the city of san diego it wasnt in our neighborhood but it wasnt neighborhood of loomis which was 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 in the border and the fact that you know people are looking doesnt help the cost 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 had nothing to do with it. Then there was this in washington d. C. On choose day protests as another generally peaceful rally were forced off the streets with tear gas and stun grenades to clear the way for president trying to hold what tended to be Controversial Photo op outside a church near the white house he later tweeted get tough democrat mayors and governors and warned that if the unless continued he do whatever it takes to stop the chaos. In recent days our nation has been gripped by professional anarchies violent mobs arsonists looters criminals rioters and tiefer 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 dont trump threats. To send in the military to quell the nationwide protests left some World Leaders scratching their heads too after hed previously condemned them for being tough envoy he could go he took a red marker to 2800 statement from u. S. Secretary of state might prompt a 0 on protests in iran with key words replaced to further criticism squarely back at washington so how much do as i say not as i do is put at play here is our Senior Correspondent in regards to you the 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 protests 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 under the 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 he says approach 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 the decision by rehman 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 of. The 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. There walled has got hurt your outcry over it is the it operation the ward is standing with you. The americans are here is pursuing violence and bullying to tell me an approach what they dont get is that america is exceptional they said it plenty of times the congressmen the officials the president most americans thought that included them and never did its the state thats exceptional those in power the police the military theyre exceptional the American People now have them you would just like everybody else. The protests may have Police Brutality at their core but plenty of videos emerged throughout the week showing officers taking things too far their injuries from tear gas tasers rubber bullets and even vehicles being driven into crowds there are now multiple lawsuits in investigations into Police Conduct so a new York Police Department vehicle filmed attempting to drive through a crowd last saturday this was live streamed on facebook a man pepper sprayed by an officer in michigan before having then a tear gas canister fired at him for barely a meter away then the 2 new York Police Officers who pleaded not guilty to assault after they were filmed aggressively pushing an elderly protesting felon sustained a head injury in the city of atlanta 2 offices sacked of to forcibly arresting 2 students. Despite the tension the chaos the uncertainty and many streets there were some glimmers of light along the way too in california protests running up to a Police Officer and give them a hug similar scenes in kentucky as well. Away from u. S. Shores theres d been some of their a c. Demonstrations throughout the week from australia to argentina while in europe there were large scale rallies in britain france italy sweden greece and the netherlands where protesters are now out in Central London live to isa rally then outside the u. S. Embassy there hi there he said whats going on then plenty of action in Parliament Square yesterday whats happening there today. Well this is the they are protests in london why the killing of george florey the protesters are gathered outside the American Embassy here on the banks of the river thames there are people chanting black lives showing their solidarity with george floyd and his family and of course the other victims of Police Brutality in the United States now as far as the government here are concerned theyve been trying to discourage these types of protests but Health Secretary matter. Making reference to the coronavirus pandemic to try to discourage people from attending that is the case it hasnt quite worked there are thousands of people who have had time to today the police is one of taken a more hands off approach than they did yesterday we saw those images coming out of the police charging its just as on a horse today theyve taken a much more hands off approach and we can see here for the us has the police who are not in that type of standoff but we saw in those images yesterday. I was. I. Know these protests are expected to go on throughout the off the newness unclear yet whether they will stay here outside the embassy or whether they will be moving on to the houses of parliament not far from here and also of course where we fall those images that we were just witness to a few days ago yesterday as well. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race in this very dramatic to follow only loosely and. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very. Time to sit. And talk. Malcolm x. Is a hero for many protesters on the streets of america speaking about the media he once said that if youre not careful it could have you hating the people being oppressed and loving the people doing the oppressing but what does that distinction mean in todays usa. A major cleanup operations underway in the Russian Arctic after a massive fuel leak that the city of norilsk theres now a state of emergency after 20000 tons of days old saint into a river in one of our mentalistic calling the arctic regions worst ever catastrophe its so bad it could be seen from space these satellite images from the Russian Space agency ross cosmos 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 fuel getting further towards the say more than a 1000 tons of diesel have now been recovered but the cleanup could take years to complete is the worry you thought hes a furious that they were only alerted to the league 2 days after it happened. 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 if you saw on twitter you also shibu soren a rescue team intervened very quickly the fuel spill was localized in the barn a river and the rescuers have already started working intensively to collect ugly oiled. Birds not rushes investigative committees launched 3 investigations into what happened of arrested the director of the power plant where the fuel failed. When europe shut down to stem the coronavirus sweden kept going most businesses stayed open in what was seen from abroad at the time you may recall was a risky move but the swedish state epidemiologist behind the strategy told a newspaper on wednesday that although it caused too many deaths he didnt 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 the rest of the world good so even the suffered more than 4 and a half 1000 deaths out of a population of around 10000000. 00 that makes it the most affected of the scandinavian countries the others are enforced harsher restrictions the swedish government though says it was ready to take on wider measures against the virus if advised to do so by the Health Agency seems residents arent so sure though a poll out on 1st day echoing others suggested that confidence among swedish citizens in the states ability to deal with the break dropped significantly since april another swedish epidemiologist we spoke to thinks his country should know better. Were not only started we could have done better so i know why they didnt mater then of course the information us how to do it better in washington and their. Weight wasnt really there it was centered by the experiences of other countries around us it was started by a normal wave shouldnt by that very you know another countrys so you see whats there to do cannot see when we could not know then dont. Know then they were trying to save for me they were trying to save system just that mindset ask you change and not only student also in other countries but where were being i think much more unfortunate. And more because of covidien rips internal open borders a still some way off being a 2 way street any time soon 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 italy reopened its borders to e. U. Citizens on wednesday to try to breathe life into it stalled Tourism Industry peter all of us been looking at how getting around europe these days isnt 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 the 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 urged 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 tourists 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 so the World Health Organization stepped in with International Experts warning against a false sense of security you know the reality is the 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 die from this way so we need to be exceptionally careful not to create a sense that all of a sudden the iris by its old foolish and 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. You will be able to come too close or not. 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 will 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.
