From the days that have been out the only time that violence erupts or grass or in a show 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 and. There was violence by the police. In the streets of jacksonville they resulted in the necessary use of tear gas we saw 1st from tear gas and all types of progression and arrests in the ones that i. 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. d they come from neighborhoods that this 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 the ugly side of the week trollies has forced businesses to take precautions wooden hoarding smashed windows not a line in the streets of even the most prestigious shopping districts some looters went to. 3 measures this forklift was used to ram an Electronics Retailer in california while the owners are going even further with their security measures stuff have been arming themselves heal up and take us through why the looting risks erupting into something more dangerous. Heres one thing of the protests against Police Brutality. 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 dying the looting of america has been going on for over 40 years and 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 no definitely upset with the looting i dont think that looting is necessary. But i definitely feel like something needs to be done you know to count up protect everybody says large scale looting 250 buildings have been damaged in minnesota alone that prompted members of George Floyds family home job to try stuff. On a 100 they dont know nobody i dont know why i cannot testify i was stuck i dont want to destroy all stuff. Right now. God. Said nothing about the violence breeds violence is the riots keep going. Sponsors 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 store. Wrong you think im going to i would you know no no no i know not the authorities have been openly suggesting that 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 this is how you take your neighborhood back here hes actually been risers and you know were ready for the rush 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 become clearer and clearer that some communities are very much at all to with each other over the streets this is a peaceful march in the state of indiana in the no sign of aggression but the rituals lined with locals on with rifles watching else the protests passed by its been happening elsewhere. People dont come according to state senator that was right. But it stands for yeah you know if you guys are ready rather than play you know what were doing here is were protecting them trolling our neighborhood after the riots started out and so the 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 on joe 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. I want to show you picture take a nice side a russian restaurant and some day you go in california was where locals lined up with weapons to defend the premises the owner is among those who felt the need to be armed in the current circumstances he talked to r. T. About what its been like there. Heavy looting in the city of san diego it wasnt in our neighborhood but it was made worse 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 mellow city and it easy to see this piece which you see. Young american young young black lives being lost or something stupid like this. And the fact that you know going to really doesnt help because thats thats just my personal experience my personal opinion. 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. Well aside from businesses protecting themselves during the violence another group has been facing a threat in their line of work a number of journalists have been left injured by police while covering the nationwide protests the press Freedom Watchdog the committee to protect journalists ses there have been at least 300 violations against new stuff since the 26th of may from both police rioters it also states that dozens of journalists have been arrested and yes trillion government is calling for an investigation into the rough handling of a t. V. News team while they were reporting life on the washington riots. But. There was talk of going to take a break you know for a while. I trust prove that. It came through that. Ok. Well one of the last shots there you may have just been able to mimic it was an american journalist saying in the press she was working for the Russian News Agency sputnik near the white house and monday evening and described how officers reacted knowing she was there to report all of it. Well democrats actually just like this and said. Im crass and crass but i was holding it right or and its after and yelled im press and they start shooting me with a barrage of Stinger Unaids i have 7 on right on my side on my torso and on my back and i also got hit with a rubber bullet in my path and then this did not hesitate to use their right shields to push us down to the ground so they may also push me to the ground and i slid along after all and had a lot of abrasions on my side they were very well aware that i was practiced and this is a clear targeting of journalists many administrations United States governments have had you know said about other countries that other countries dont have free press we are also concerned about the threats of violence against journalists which have a Chilling Effect on press freedom especially when they are not investigated or prosecuted we call for an immediate end to threats and for violence against journalists i hope the rest of the world will follow our press freedoms in the great things we do in the United States what i physically experienced from yesterday is that the u. S. Is all too willing credibly willing to visit violence upon journalists here and to try to silence her. Here am i start again if i had members of the past experience. Well those are some examples of aggression called live on arrogance the press social media too has been abuzz with footage of officers reacting with force and in some cases beyond the law against protesters people have been injured by tear gas tasers rubber bullets and even vehicles being driven into crowds there are no multiple lawsuits on investigations into Police Conduct lets go through some big stories when we were Police Department vehicles typing to drive through a saturday other instance for life from facebook this is a month after sprayed by an officer in michigan before having a tear gas canister fired on him barely anything away and this is a 2 officers after forcibly arresting 2 students there. York state so all the latest big case to grab headlines this week. Officers pleaded not guilty to assault and softened a after they were filmed pushing an elderly. Sustaining to a head injury allegedly however the Police Departments version of events initially said the month tripped and fell on his own similarly the initial report on George Floyds death which sparked big global protests against Police Brutality certain details. He was ordered to step from his car after he got out he physically resisted offices officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs the noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress officers control ambulance he was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center by ambulance where he died a short time later after removing ha ha ha ha ha ha. Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha stop stop stop stop. But you have got your back. Dont you knock stop drop rock was never really very much davey. I 6 pad. Videos paint a story sort of culture where a lot of the public has been trained and encouraged to not believe play people. Despite the tensions the chaos on the uncertainty on many streets there have been some glimmers of light along the way one protester in california ran up to a Police Officer during a hug similar scenes in other states as well this is. National guard in place have been taking the knee and also in some. Well away from u. S. Shores solidarity demonstrations were witnessed throughout the week from a strictly a to argentina well in europe there were large scale rallies in britain france italy sweden greece and the netherlands. And in central madrid this sunday thousands of protesters are right in force as you can see this by continued coronavirus restrictions at their right in front of the u. S. Embassy in the spanish capital with banners saying black lives matter and no justice no peace you know over in the u. K. R. T. C. Sally has been following the demonstration. This is the day of protests in london in the wake of the killing of georgia there are still people arriving to this protest thousands of them outside the u. S. Embassy its a lot calmer than it was yesterday of course those images outside downing street the police today taking a much more hands off approach what it comes to policing this incident we saw yesterday Police Forces charging into the crowd to try to break them up outside downing street leading to some quite strong images of clashes. That we have seen attempts by the government to discourage these types of protests the health secretary. Making reference to of course the fact that we still do have the coronavirus. Going on claiming that there will be a spike as a result of these protests but of course all this will point to the fact that last week of the week before the u. K. Still some hope people going to the party going to the beach is really ignoring most. The social distancing the farce and so for that reason people saying that these protests take priority before more important than thats why these thousands of people have come out in spite of all of the fact that there is of course a crowd of our a stranger still lurking in the background and. The world is driven by a dream shaped by the person of those. Who dare use thinks. We dare to ask. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy people in sunday shouldnt let it be an arms race is often spearing Dramatic Development only mostly im going to resist i dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. 20 minutes into the Program Welcome back. A major cleanup operation is underway in the Russian Arctic following a muscle fuel leak near the city of no growth theres now a state of emergency after a 20000 tons of diesel seeped into a river in what environmentalists are calling the arctic regions worst ever catastrophe its so bad it can be seen from space these satellite images from the Russian Space agency rolls cosmos unite dhea of the extent of the pollution containment device is known as boom barriers are in place to try and stop the fuel reaching this sea its not in effect more than a 1000 tons of diesel have been recovered but the cleanup really could take years to complete the authorities are furious that they were only alerted to the leak 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. If you saw it we should also if you do sort of a rescue team intervene very quickly the fuel spill is localized and there are no river and the rescuers have already started working intensively to collect ill be boiled. Rushes Investigative Committee has launched 3 investigations into just what happened there and have arrested the director of the power plant where the fuel tank field. Now when europe shut down to stem coronavirus sweden kept going most businesses there stayed open in what was seen from abroad as a risky move but the swedish state epidemiologist behind that strategy told a newspaper on wednesday about although it caused too many deaths he does not 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 wounded. Well so we now suffered more than the 4 and a half 1000 deaths out of a population of around 10000000 the mix to the most affected all of the scandinavian countries the others in forced harsher restrictions the swedish government those days thought it was ready to take on wider measures against the virus if advised to by the Health Agency residents while they arent so sure though a poll on thursday echoed others suggesting that confidence among sweetest citizens in the states ability to deal with the outbreak has dropped significantly since april another swedish epidemiologist we spoke to did not hold back from criticizing either. We dont normally start and we better so why do you. Then of course may shoot us how did washington in their. Way which agree there it was centered the experiences of other countries around us it was started by. Student and by that in their. Countries you see whats there to do cannot see when we know them dont. Know then do work trying to save it for me they were trying to save them just as you change im not going to straighten it out of countries but we would be in a much more around fortunate. Europes internal open borders are still some way off being a 2 way street in the tension the italian Prime Minister had austria and that greece for maintaining travel restrictions on the telly and so this is called the barrios discriminatory and totally unacceptable it reopened its borders to use of the sins of the weapons to try and create some sort of life into what is a stall Tourism Industry peter all of has been looking at how getting around europe these days is not as clear cut as it once was. And its good news for germans were during. 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 that 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 but the epidermal logical curve 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 1000. 00 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 dying from this were so we need to be exceptionally careful not to create a sense that all of my response all dilution 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. Surest will be able to come too close or not safely and 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 open to accept people however it seems silly well still have to wait for its neighbors to open up as the reopening is already caused some troubles on the border. But we can go there but we cant go back to france so if were going to get stuck 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 peter all over r.
