Us what was like being fired. Here in rats and they start shooting you know. I have been. On my side i mean this is a clear targeting of journalists. In the russian articles a muscle fuel spill turns a river red. Light. With the stories that shape the 7 days on right up to the moment of elements as well this is the weekly R T International hello and welcome i mean in the real. From east to west something saw americas biggest cities fill with protesters marching against racism and Police Brutality nearly 2 weeks after the death of george floyd it was mostly peaceful like earlier this week when i felt the full force of riot police at least 11 people have died during the protest and all 4 former officers present when george floyd was killed will not face murder charges. From small groups to streets filled with fury protests happened throughout the week in all 50 states the National Guard was the poet in around half of them curfews were imposed in at least 29. 00 locations with demonstrators describing continued heavy handed policing as riots 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 a culmination 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 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 know youre going to. You know basically this system is putting their knee on around it and of course that was the ugly side of the wheat straw legs forcing businesses to take precautions wooden hoarding smushed windows lining the streets of even the most prestigious shopping districts some looters went to extreme measures this 40th was used to ramadan like products retailer california owners are going even further with their security measures stuff helping arming themselves kill up and takes us through why the looting risks erupting into something more dangerous. Heres one thing. The protests against Police Brutality was 5. 00000000 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 tight 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 boyds family to call her home not destroy stuff. On a 100 they dont know nobody i dont know why i cannot testify as i was stuck coming out of this stuff. Right now. Because i dont. Think her son is enough about the violence 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 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 this is how you take a neighborhood back here the 2nd risers and you know were ready for the rush these are police and we are all here they are 15 we are protecting our neighborhood. All of this arrested for civil conflict across america yeah and it is clear that some communities are very much at all odds with each other over a straight draw like this is a peaceful march in the state of indiana on monday no sign of aggression but the group was like what the locals armed with rifles watching as they protest passed by its been happening elsewhere weve. Come a quarterly state its all centered right. Stansell yeah you know you 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 minneapolis we had 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. Lets take a look at a picture which was taken outside a russian restaurant that was sunday ago in 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 current circumstances he spoke 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 a neighborhood which was pretty close to us just maybe 6 miles outside of the limits where you know the the the protests started peacefully and then they started burning building so i am a low city and it pains me to see this you see. Young american young young black lives being lost or something stupid like this in the border and the fact that you know people are living 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. Well aside from business as 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 is there have been at least 300 by elations against new stuff since the 26th of may from both police and rioters and also states that dozens of journalists being 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. He was. Saying oh oh. I read. That. It came. Guys. Hold on of shites you just about may go if there was an american journalist saying read this she was working for the Russian News Agency sputnik near the white house and monday evening and the scribes officers reacted knowing that she was there to report her love and. Hold up my press actually just like this and said im crass and crass 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 right on my side on my torso and on my back and i also get 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 pushed 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 pressed 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 to be willing to visit violence upon journalists here and to try to silence journalists here and i saw again if not other members of the press experiencing the same thing examples of aggression caught live on air there against the press and the us social media too thats been abuzz with footage of officers reacting with 4 sons. Cases beyond the law against protesters people have been injured by tear gas tasers rubber bullets even vehicles being driven into crowds there are multiple lawsuits and investigations into Police Conduct lets take a look at some of them in a new York Police Department vehicles for le tempting to drive through a. Other incidents where lifestream to face book including among pepper sprayed by an officer michigan before having a tear gas canister fired out and ready and meter away at this is atlanta where 2 officers were sacked after forcibly arresting 2 students. New york states all the latest big case to you. At least 2 officers to be not guilty to assault me after they were d pushing the elderly protester he was hospitalized with a head injury however the Police Departments version of events initially said the month trip fell on his own similarly the report on George Floyds death which sparked a global protest against Police Brutality like 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 and noted he appeared to be suffering medical distress officers called for an ambulance he was transported to Hennepin County Medical Center by ambulance where he died a short time later. But you have got your back. Stop drop right. Pat. This story is sort of a culture where a lot of the public has been trained and encouraged to not believe like people. A large scale rallies are being staged this weekend all across the globe really with some of them turning violent clashes broke out in london with the police. Continue right through it sunday as well r. T. Correspondent they spoke to me earlier from the british capital. Throughout the day people have been marching through Central London in response to the killing of george lloyd which largely is going to see tens of thousands of people marching from the u. S. And to here in Parliament Square and also christiane 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 the clashes took place in a white hall towards charles street things are calm a somewhat there have been some running scuffles back and forth between police and protesters in the course of the evening the police tried to make an arrest and was leading somebody away and 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. I either who are. Despite those clashes which protest is this started 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 what we do stand up we should we do understand as individuals all of us. As a lot know never experience. Have taken actions i understand from what the police and the people have even myself. And a lot by being in the 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 the right thing would never come back about. Now theyre going to protest in other parts of the United Kingdom including in bristol where we were a controversial start you have had close to a slave owner from the sixtys hundreds all over thats been a cause of consolation in the sense of bristol that you campaign is going on to have it removed well just took matters into their own hands. Taking down that statue and throwing it into the harbor in brussels or following not without a response from the home so you could see that so she described the putting down of that money went to a slave overnight as this crisis which is going on welcome the spot for her in some quarters. Racism rally also turned violent and Belgian Police say over 10000 protesters right marching in brussels despite corona virus restrictions some rioters were seen throwing objects like bricks on officers and incidents of looting that Luxury Stores have been reported to. He. 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 me in todays usa. Hello again a major cleanup operation is underway in the Russian Arctic following a massive fuel leak near the city of theres no a state of emergency after 20000 tons of diesel seeped into a river and 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 runs 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 reaching the sea more than a 1000 tons of diesel since its been recovered but the cleanup really could take years you know thora tazer furious that they were only alerted to the leak 2 days after it happened. Why did the authorities only come to learn 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 to so your solution to sort of a rescue team intervene very quickly the fuel spill is localizing them by now river and the rescuers have already started working intensively to collect ill be boiled. It just a note on this rushes Investigative Committee has launched 3 probes into what happened and how the rest of the director of the power plant where the fuel tank feel. Now in europe shut down to stem a coronavirus sweden kept going most businesses there stayed open in what was seen from abroad as a risky move but the swedish states 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 land midway between what sweden dude and what the rest of the world good. Sweden has suffered more than 4 to how follows and deaths out of a population of around 10000000 that makes it the most affected of the scandinavian countries the others in forced harsher restrictions denmark the next highest for instance in the region has less than 600. 00 fatalities the swedish government though sees it was ready to take on wider measures against the virus if advice to buy the Health Agency residents arent so sure though a pull out on thursday echoed others suggesting that confidence among sweetness to distance in the states ability to deal with the break has dropped significantly since april quite a percentage drop but another swedish epidemiologist we spoke to didnt hold back from criticising other. We dont normally start if we enter on the right even. Then of course it may show us how to do washington in that. Way which agree that it was centered the experiences of other countries around us it was started by. Student and by that there is. Another countries so you see whats there so you cannot see what we did not know then of course you know then you were trying to do for me they were trying to save this system just ask im not going to be a student also noted countries but. We would be in a much more around fortunate europe internal open borders are still some way off being a 2 way street in the wake of the italian Prime Minister under it all straight on greece for maintaining travel restrictions all italian so the sins of all the barriers. Totally unacceptable italy reopened its borders to e. U. Citizens on wednesday the try and breathe life into what is a stall tourist industry has put her over. 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 keen to stress this isnt a green light for travel with wild abandon eyes of 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 theres 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 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 coronavirus is losing potency 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 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 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 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 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 weighs how many will be willing to travel while coronavirus continues to infect people.
