Police. Rats and they start shooting you and. I have been. On my side this is a clear targeting of journalists. See in the Russian Arctic council fuel spilled turn river red the Authorities Say they were not alerted in time. The storys not shape the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly on our to International Hello and welcome. From east to west south today seoul americas biggest cities filled with protesters marching against racism and Police Brutality nearly 2 weeks after the death of george forward it was mostly peaceful alike earlier this week when i had to take pride felt the full force of riot police at least 11 people have died during the protests on the 4 former officers present when george floyd was killed all face murder charges. She. Was. I i. Was. All from small groups 2 streets filled with fury protests happen throughout the day we can all 50 states the National Guard was the ploy down around half of them curfews were imposed in least 29. 00 locations with demonstrators 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 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 witnessed were unjustifiable the violence was coming from the state from the police. Is there enough. That they feel that no one cares. This is the only way to lash out at the system. They come from neighborhoods that its you know economically deprived did you know its right you know you got to keep me know you going to. You know basically this system is putting their knee on around it the ugly side to all of the weeks at rallies forced businesses to take precautions when ordering this on smashed windows not lined the streets of even the most prestigious shopping districts some looters went to extreme measures this fall and used to rob an Electronics Retailer in calif again while the owners are going even further with their security measures staff have been arming themselves up and takes us through why the looting risks erupting into something more dangerous. Heres one things. The protests against Police Brutality. Was not. 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 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 her home got their car stuck. On a 100 they dont know nobody i dont know why i cannot testify i was stuck telling one of the screw off the. Top of. Her is enough about the violence breeds violence and 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 ok 1 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 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 your neighborhood back here the 2nd risers you know will be for the rest of your policing we are all here they are 15 we are protecting our neighborhood are you doing all of this a recipe for civil conflict across america. When it is clear some communities are very much at all to with each other over the street rallies this is a peaceful march in the state of indiana on monday no sign of aggression but the route was lined with locals armed with rifles watching as the protests passed by its been upping elsewhere to. Come according to state security that was right. But 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 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 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. Now this picture has being doing the rounds it was taken outside a russian restaurant in san diego in california where locals lined up with weapons to defend the premises the owner is among those who felt the need himself to be armed in the current circumstances he talked about what its been like there. Heavy looting in the city of san diego it wasnt in our neighborhood but it was a neighborhood 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 easy to see this beseech you see. Young american young young black lives being lost or something stupid like this in the border and the fact that you know going to really help because thats thats just my personal experience my person would be. There could be. Could be a better way to go about this and then robbing Small Businesses just these people have nothing to do with it. All 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 as there have been at least 300 mile ations against new stuff since the 26th of may from both police and rioters it also states that dozens of journalists have been arrested the Australian Government meanwhile is calling for an investigation into the rough handling of a t. V. News team while they were reporting live on the washington lions. But. There was talk of going to take a break you know for a while. I trust. That it came. About. Ok. You know one of the final shots you could maybe just about make out there was of american journalist saying press she was working for the Russian News Agency sputnik near the white house on monday evening and describes how officers reacted knowing she was there to report on the phone. Call that my parents actually just like this and said. Im trapped and press and i was holding it right or and its after and yelled im press and that they start shooting me with a barrage of stinger grenades i have 7 in a right on my side on my torso and on my back and i also got hit with a rubber bullet in my calf and then these did not hesitate to use their right shields to push us down to the ground so they may also question into 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 to be willing to visit violence upon journalists here and to try to silence journalists here and i saw again i saw other members of the press experiencing the same thing. Some examples of aggression. Against the press there are all 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 even vehicles being driven into crowds there are no multiple lawsuits and investigations into Police Conduct and we were Police Department vehicle. Tempting to drive through a private the other incidents were lifestream. Including a pepper sprayed by an officer in michigan before a. Meter away in the city of atlanta here 2 officers were forcibly arresting 2 student. New york state so all the latest big case 2. 2 officers pleaded not guilty to assault after they were pushing a protester he was hospitalized with injury however the Police Departments version of events initially said the trip. Over similarly. Reported George Floyds death of course which killed their protests against Police Brutality certain details. After he physically resisted offices officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs to know did he appear to be suffering medical distress. He was transported to Hennepin CountyMedical Center by ambulance where he died a short time later. I. Dont. Believe you. But you have on your back. Dont you know stop drop or read. Baby. I pad. Videos paint a story of a culture where a lot of the public have been trained and encouraged to not believe like people. Despite the tension certainty on many streets theyre hoping some glimmers of like how along the way one protester in California Run up to a Police Officer give him a hug or similar scenes in kentucky. Well away from u. S. Shores solidarity demonstrations were a witness throughout the week from australia to argentina while in europe there were large scale rallies and brits in france italy sweden greece and the netherlands. Will block it lives matter protesters are making their city of bristol this sunday have to hold on a statue of 17th century slave trader edward coats that unrolled it off the harbor colson was commemorative as a philanthropist establishing and funding many schools. Other institutions there but a statue has long been a focal point of honor in bristol meanwhile in the capital the American Embassy was the focal point of protest today as r. T. C. Reports. This is the day of protests in london in the wake of the killing of george floored 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 when 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 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 parks going to the beaches really ignoring most of the social distancing the vice and so for that reason people saying that these protests take priority far more important than thats why these thousands of people have come out in spite of the fact that there is of course a crowd of virus stranger still lacking in the background. And up to the on the stand as individuals. As a lot of past no never experience. I can have options on the page from what the police are doing so people have even more so. I already thought she had a lot by being in the Police Station for no reason i feel like in the Education System we dont really talk about that night as much and not that history so i do think its kind of like speech on iraq that will never come back about. Were going to. Live. Malcolm x. Is 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. The distinction me. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race. Very dramatic. Very critical. To sit down and talk. With the Weekly International a major cleanup operation is underway in the Russian Arctic following a massive fuel leak near the city of theres now a state of emergency after 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 the satellite images from the Russian Space agency calls most give you an idea really of the extent of the pollution containment device is known as boom barriers are in place to try and stop the fuel reaching the sea more than a 1000 tons of diesel have been recovered but the cleanup could take years to complete the authorities are furious that they were only alerted to the leak 2 days after it happened. One of the worst was no 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. If you saw on twitter your solution to sort of a rescue team intervene very quickly the fuel spill was localized in them and are now river and the rescuers have already started working intensively to collect i believe or will. It just an update on the story Russias Investigative Committee has launched 3 probes into what happened and i have arrested the director of the power plant where the fuel tank feel. Now when europe shut down to stem coronavirus sweden kept going most businesses stayed open in what was seen from abroad as a risky move but the swedish state epidemiologist behind the strategy told the newspaper on 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 sweden dude and what the rest of the world good. Just give you a sense of what happened there sweden has suffered more than for the deaths out of a population of around 10000000 that makes it the most affected of the scandinavian countries by some distance the others enforced harsher restrictions the swedish government though says it was ready to take on wider measures against the virus if advised to by the Health AgencyResidence Hall they are not so sure a pull out on thursday echoed all those before thought suggesting that confidence among swedish this ins in the states ability to deal with the outbreak has dropped significantly since april another swedish epidemiologist we spoke to didnt hold back from criticizing either. We only started we entered on the why didnt. Then of course may show us how to do washington in their. Way which agree there it was centered the experiences of countries around us it was started by. The student and by that. Another countrys so she was there to do cannot see when we did not know then dont. Know then you were trying to do for me they were trying to save them just ask you to change im not going to straighten all shit out of countries but. We would be in a think much more around fortunately. Europes internal open borders are still some way off being at 2 way street in the wake the italian Prime Minister to austria and greece for maintaining trouble restrictions on the telly and so this is called the barriers discriminatory and totally unacceptable italy reopened its borders to e. U. Citizens and breed life into what is a stall Tourism Industry peter all of ours been looking at getting a raw in europe these days it 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 me announcement though was keen 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 but the epidemic logical code may rise again however there are fears that 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 of this 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 die from this was 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. Surest will be able to come too close or not safe 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 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 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.
