News agency correspondent. Us police. And shooting. Have been. Clear targeting of journalists. In the russian. River read the authorities. With the stories that shape the past 7 days and right up to the moment of well this is the weekly on R T International hello and welcome. From. His biggest cities filled with protesters marching against Racism Police brutality me 2 weeks after the death. It was mostly peaceful like earlier in the week when. Felt the full force of riot police at least 11 people died during the protests and all 4 former officers present. When george floyd was killed will now face murder charges. Or from small groups 2 streets filled with fury protests happen throughout the week in all 50 states the National Guard was the ploy dinner on half a curfews were imposed in at least 29. 00 locations with demonstrators describing continued heavy handed policing and 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. 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 wish it 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 its you know economically deprived did you know its like you know you got to keep me no you going to. You know basically this system is put near me on on this the ugly side of the weeks rallies forced businesses to take precautions wooden hoarding smashed windows lined the streets of even the most prestigious shopping district some looters went to extreme measures this forklift was used to ram an Electronics Retailer in california the owner said going even further with their security measures stuff have been arming themselves up and takes us through why the losing risks erupting into something more dangerous. Heres one thing the protests against Police Brutality. I was 5. 0000000000 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 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 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 i dont know why i cannot testify i was stuck trying to get up in the schoolyard stuff. Right now oh my. God. Its enough of the by wants breeds violence is the riots keep going the Police Response has 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 ok you run my. Own you think im going to my 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 how you take your neighborhood back here the 2nd risers and you know were ready for the rest of your policing we are all here they are 15 we are protecting our neighborhood. All of this arrested for civil conflict across america its clear some communities are still very much at all odds with each other over the street rallies this is a peaceful march in the state of indiana no sign of aggression but the ridge was lined with locals armed with rifles watching as the protests passed by its been happening elsewhere. Dont come to court and stay or its all. Right to. Stand for 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 on our show 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. Well this picture has been doing the rounds it was taken aside a russian restaurant in some Diego California where locals lined up with weapons to defend the premises the owner is among those who felt the need to be armed in the card 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 the muslim neighborhood which is 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 pains me to see this easy to see. Young american young young black lives being lost or something stupid like this could have been awarded and the fact that you know people are looking 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. 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 protest the press Freedom Watchdog the committee to protect journalists and hes there have been at least 300. 00 violations against news 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 riots. There was talk of i dont think were going to go for a while. I trust. That it came. About. Ok. You may have just been able to make a journalist on the american journalist shouting. She was working for the Russian News Agency sputnik near the white house on monday evening and has been describing to us how officers reacted knowing she was there to report on the phone. Call that my parents actually just like this and said im tracks and press and i was holding it right or and its after and yelled im press and they start shooting me with a barrage of stinger and 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 these did not hesitate to use their right shields to push us down to the ground so they may also pushed me to the ground and i slid along after all and had a lot of operations 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 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 see. I am straight on this year am i start again if i have members of the past experiencing. Those so example is of aggression caught live on air against the press in the us social media too its been a balls with footage of officers reacting with force and in some cases beyond the law against protesters people have been injured by tear gas teachers rubber bullets and even vehicles being driven into crowds there are multiple lawsuits on investigations into Police Conduct lets take a look at the lotter new York Police Department vehicle was filmed attempting to drive through a crowd last weekend other incidents were live streamed on facebook including a mom pepper sprayed by an officer in michigan before helping a tear gas canister fired on him from burning to reach her away this is the city of atlanta 2 officers they have been socked in after forcibly arresting 2 students in the car. New york state saw the latest big case to grab headlines this week 2 officers pleaded not guilty to assault on saturday after they were partially inevitably protester he was hospitalized with a head injury however the Police Departments version of events initially said the trip fell on his own similarly the initial report on george boyds death which sparked a global protest against Police Brutality law certain details. He was ordered to step from his car after he got out he physically resisted officers officers were able to get the suspect into handcuffs the no did he appeared to be suffering medical distress officers control ambulance he was transported to Hennepin CountyMedical Center by ambulance where he died a short time later. But you have got your back. Stop drop rock. Videos paint a story sort of culture where a lot of the public has been trained and encouraged to not believe play people. A large scale rallies have been staged this week on all across the globe with some of them turning violent clashes broke out in london with the police on saturday and have continued right throughout today arties correspondent in the british couple told us more. Thats right the day people have been marching through Central London sponsored killing of george lloyd which largely is going peacefully tens of thousands of people marching from the u. S. Embassy here in Parliament Square and also down at the moment things are a little tense there were clashes this evening as the Police Rushed into the crowd just outside of Parliament Square to try to make an arrest the crowd. Went to get a person back from the police and clashes to place a wide hall towards the charles street things are somewhat to have been some running scuffles back and forth between police and successes in the course of the evening the police try to make an arrest and was leading somebody away they said for the use of drugs some witnesses told me that the police were trying to provoke the crowd some people threw bottles at the police one officer sustaining injuries. You either. Despite those clashes which puts us this startled by the police the mood has been one of defiance and also positivity many people coming up to us to tell us of their reasons for attending this protest and i assume when we do stand up until we do understand as individuals obviously as a lot no never experience. I can have compassion understand what people have even myself. And a lot by being in a Police Station for no reason i feel like in the Education System we dont really talk that. Its not you know history so i do think its kind of like. To have a comment about. Now the protests in other parts of the United Kingdom including in bristol where we were a controversial start to a bed close to a slave owner from the sixtys hundreds. Of pools of consolation in the sense of bristol that you campaign is going on to have it removed well just a few months of this about our own hounds. Taking down that statue and throwing it into the harbor in brussels or following how to respond fall behind such as you could feed itself she described the putting down. To a slave owner as this crisis which is going on welcome the support from her in some quarters. Ok lets bring you some more images this sunday on to restore some rallies taking place in Belgium Police have said around 10 protesters even more than that in fact the last estimates were out marching in brussels where some arrests have been reported you can also see some injuries there. So what weve got to do is identify the threats that we have its crazy. Let it be an arms race is very dramatic to follow only. I dont see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and. The world is driven by a dream shaped. Thing. We asked. 20 minutes past the hour welcome a major cleanup operation is underway in the Russian Arctic following a months of fuel leak near the city. There is now a state of emergency after a 20000 tons of diesel seeped into a river in what environmentalist are calling the arctic regions worst ever. Its so bad it can be seen from space these satellite images from the Russian Space agency rolls calls miles give you an idea of the extent of the pollution containment device is known as boom are in place to try and stop the fuel reaching the sea what we know as of no more than a 1000 tons of diesel been recovered but the cleanup in reality is going to take years the authorities are furious thought they were only alerted to the leak 2 days after it happened. One of the worst was no that would imply that it is the one you wanted 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 alright ready. You saw it we saw 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 ill be boiled. Just an update on this Russias Investigative Committee has launched 3 probes into what happened and have arrested the director of the power plant where the fuel tank feel. Now when europe shut down to stem krone virus 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 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. Well sweden has suffered more than 4 and a half 1000 deaths out of a population of around 10000000 that makes it the most affected of the scandinavian countries the others enforced harsher restrictions denmark the next place in the region has less than 600. 00 fatalities the swedish government though say it was ready to take on the wider measures against the virus if advised to by the Health Agency residence they arent so sure though a poll on thursday echoed others suggesting that confidence among swedish citizens in the states ability to deal with the brick house drop significantly since april and youre seeing here another switch epidemiologists we spoke to did not hold back from criticizing either. We dont normally started we entered on the why didnt. Then of course the nation us how to do washington in that. Way which agree that it was centered the experiences of trees all around us it was started by a student and by that. And other countries she was there so you cannot see when we did not know then of course you know then you were trying to save for me they were trying to save this system just that mindset as you change im not going to straighten all shit out of countries but were being i think much more around fortunate.
