On the bull legal reaction to the story from people in them to. Be honest i dont believe. Because this is a more destruction. Really going on i just think the. So what should be the. Fears of a 2nd wave of coronavirus hitting europe has several countries experience a spike in cases just weeks after they reopened to tourists. Was that. A succession of large antigovernment protests as people in the country vent frustration at the Prime Ministers handling of the virus pandemic lingering corruption allegations. Great to have you with us see your what you got international. First this hour a fresh wave of protests and unrest has gripped major American Cities over the weekend the biggest conversation occurred in Seattle Police there declared a riot and made 45 arrests and an identified device exploded next to the Seattle Police departments eastern precinct tearing a hole in the side of the building 21 police have been injured during clashes with protesters and one officer also unleashed purpose spray on a reporter who was covering the situation. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you ive. Got ive got to show you. I just got shot its raining about. How. We get to a point where the police advances on the protesters and they get closer and closer to me and im saying hey im being peaceful im backing up and then you can see a Police Officer from seattle show backward into a crowd of people and then i obviously drawn off i turn myself around and try to get. I start filming him and then he pepper sprayed me directly and i was and now at that point i cannot breathe and i cannot see as an individual i am somebody who supports the protest but when i put on that jacket when i put out my phone i am there a number of independent media and i think the try and separate the 2 is difficult but i will say that i am out there and i dont yell at the police im not somebody whos flipping them off and theyre truly and honestly to capture whats happening for them to target me that way was really surprising i feel like maybe the Police Officers are torn they clearly seem to be provoking with impunity theyre shooting munitions into the crowd and so at this point i think were not really sure who theyre following or who theyre accountable to and its really quite scary now that theyre targeting media for sure. Gunfire erupted during a protest in downtown austin texas not resulted in one death according to officials it wasnt immediately clear if that shooting was a deliberate attack related to the ongoing protests police of us the public to avoid the area while they investigate they say the case is being treated as homicide. Meanwhile tensions remain high in the u. S. City of portland over the deployment of armed federal troops they were sent in earlier in the week by president trying to quell anti racism protests Security Forces have been resorting to tear gas and rubber bullets. The. Police i can speak now to mcdonalds who is a local resident is important and an activist as you can say from the equipment being worn there is in the thick of those protests but what how would you describe the situation in portland right now. Unnecessary that are sitting on your house or goals. But were clearing the way. We can we can see whats happening in the background behind you i mean it looks like a quite intimidating situation how would you describe the actions of the federal forces or the other of their actions justify did anyone know their agreed yes i mean were here. And they. Think youre going to. Stand or sitting together thats not a lot of the things we ignore it is saying that its finally let me get this. We can see that little 99 you know. And that monster that youre wearing presumably thats thats not because of coronavirus or did you come on to supply a thing to go. Yeah yeah. Thats all well you dont want me. You know its your by. Well you know. Me well. 3 balls me. You know. You need me yeah i can do this gives us a view is a good idea i think of what the situation is right. Right now on the streets of portland what it looks like as you can see see the sort of the fog of tear gas in the background and lots of people Milling Around as part of this protest which is clearly got quite a big gathering many thanks for joining us and showing as the picture there in import the data mcdonald activists based joining us on the line thank you. Now more than a dozen u. S. Bears most of them democrats are voiced their concern about the federal crackdown but President Trump said that more troops would be sent to us cities. I think in their own way they want us to go in theyll be a time where theyre going to want us to go in for but right now were sending extra people to help ive been very clear not happening in chicago we dont need federal troops when i spoke with the director of the department of Homeland Security last week i told him to go home and to take his federal troops with him and if we see any steps out of line particularly with v. H. S. Or Border Patrol were not going to hesitate to take the president to court in stop any unconstitutional actions i cannot believe i have to say that to the president of the United States i know that oregonians are outraged american should be appalled. Meanwhile the ongoing protests have affected portland shop on this with stores in the area vandalized and looted one of the targets was a Jewelry Store thats been operating in the area for 30 years but it made looters broke in and stole numerous items the owner know hark a sob says that her clients are afraid to go downtown because of the ongoing protests she spoke to me about the situation in portland. And not only ones many businesses in Downtown Portland are hurt its not the portland we know its not the city that weve been doing business in for over 30 years its just boarded up streets. You know a lot of graffiti just destruction everywhere and were very disappointed with the city officials dont consider what theyre doing is due to ship when you feel businesses like down when your city looks like a war zone out subfield leadership and were very disappointed were very angry and at this time we just dont know what the future of Downtown Portland will look like and you allow lawlessness when you allow the movie and we dont hold people accountable this stuff is going to continue and if their leadership field that business is the residence of Downtown Portland big time and ask why this is happening there is no accountability being held right now against looters. U. K. Government claims that it has recognized the threat posed by russia for a long time and considers moscow to be a security priority it also says it has a 30 year strategy for dealing with the kremlin this was londons response to a report on alleged russian meddling in u. K. Politics that was released on tuesday this accuses the u. K. Of failing to take the threat seriously. Who is protecting the British Public from interference in our democratic process will not show we found no one is the u. K. Government tributes are off the ball because of its focus on the country terrorism we found the defense of the u. K. Democratic process is a hot potato the government had badly underestimated the response required to the russian threat and is still playing catch up the outrage isnt that there was interference the outrage is that no one wants to know if there was what is the worst example you can get of the russian interference well thats the question which we want to have answered the british Prime Minister is reportedly planning to boost funding for the Security Services and introduce a new espionage act in response to the russia report that documents publication was delayed by the government for a year and a half before being finally released on tuesday and hes done your holkins looks at whats inside. To get a very brief summary of the long awaited russia report we can go straight to page 13 of the document the written evidence provided to us appear to suggest that h m g had not seen or saw evidence of successful interference in u. K. Democratic processes seems to be enough so if youre short on time or dont want to read heavily redacted intelligence and political spiel stop watching now otherwise lets go on open source studies have pointed to the preponderance of pro breaks it all and he used tories on r. T. In sputnik and the use of bots and trolls as evidence of russian attempts to influence the process weve sought to establish whether there is secret intelligence which supported or built on these studies in response to my 5 initially provided just 6 lines of text the reports authors were seemingly surprised by the limited response of the Intelligence Services but not because those agencies may have more important priorities such as protecting lives by tackling International Domestic terrorism or serious crime apparently more resources are needed to keep track of social media and arties editorial policies and coverage breaks it polarized millions with several broadcasters coming under fire but its still russia that poses the risk and the Security Services that are doing their job this is about the protection of the u. K. s democratic process and mechanism from hostile state interference which should fall to our intelligence and security agencies after all moscow has been waging influence campaigns targeting u. K. Politics through Digital Media of wealthy individuals organizations and almost any other means the report warns the threat of russian influence is a hot potato with intelligence and other agencies shirking the responsibility of taking the lead in tackling it and reassuring the public amid widespread allegations again the impact of such influence remains elusive. Impacts of any such attempts would be difficult if not impossible to assess and weve not sought to do so state agencies havent looked closely enough for open Source Information according to the report they lacked a retrospective assessment and intelligence agencies in particular need a more Important Role in future the committee was struck by the relatively small proportion of work that is carried out by the agencies in relation to russia in any case should they consider other threats to be a higher priority they can always fall back on trusted russian experts to lead the way Christopher Steele author of the infamous anonymous Golden Shower dossier and contributors that the institute for state craft and Integrity Initiative a project founded to tackle the russian threat receiving state funding to advise the states that russia is a threat and moscows response was swift and predictable as was the final conclusion of the long awaited russia report showing yet again that any reproach went with the u. K. However small is still be on the horizon. Weve got reaction on the streets of london to the claims made in the russian report. Were a nation on the moon. Position more each other more destruction was really going on. And the further away shot of russia was. Just by me i just think the. Way she seemed to feel and its come nothing to do with them lately to know if they would take this that way to make a lesson beginning. That. You know other countries ruined the politics of other people will try to influence government interest. Was part of the fallout of the russian report the u. K. s Opposition Labor Party is also pushing for arties broadcast license to be revote in a letter sent to the countrys t. V. Regulator ofcom the watchdog supposed to be independent and immune from political pressure. I am writing to request it off calm urgently refuse arties license in light of this report into request a meeting with you as soon as possible to discuss my concerns about the broadcaster with the office of communications was created in 2003 by act of parliament it regulates britains t. V. And Radio Broadcasts and provides fair competition of com blocks harmful or offensive content if there are complaints it did not leave r. T. I. Out in the past our investigation from the arts he failed to preserve june partiality in 7 news and Current Affairs programs between the 17th of march and 26 very pull 2018 taken together these breaches represented serious and repeated failures of compliance with the rules. While these latest response to the allegations of new cases that there was no misinformation or falsehoods in any of our reporting that of com assessed on the u. K. Host actually returns he says that this is a case of political interference. We now have the woods of sick in a storm has shot a department of Culture Media and sport secretary in a private letter sent to this independent regulator saying almost telling the urgently i need to see you to see that as to what to politically interfere with an independent regulator devastated the fact that sickie has stallman seems obsessed by wanting to destroy a free press in britain which the British Labor party in in the spotlight because that would have implications for a free press in this country for article 19 of the United Nations charter human rights charter it would have implications for the human rights act and presumably just as when he was banned for a defend Media Freedom summit here he would get help from Amnesty International index on censorship obviously because the estimate is across the line hes attempting perhaps to interfere with an independent. Independent media regulator politically. Israel is in the grip of protests with people expressing that discontent over the handling of the pandemic consummates corruption allegations against the countrys Prime Minister that story for you to the right. You cannot be both with the yeah youre right. The world is driven by a dream shaped by those great. Sinks. We dare to ask. Welcome back discontent with the Current Administration in israel is high not a massive nationwide demonstration swept the country without some people taking to the streets to voice their frustration with the israeli Prime Minister over 5000 demonstrators reportedly gathered in front of ben you would not know his residence the growing protests in recent weeks violent clashes and saturday night was no exception. The 2. Ok so lets take a look at whats causing that anger protesters feel the government didnt get to grips with the coronavirus that particularly angry with a return of some lockdown measures due to infection spikes they also say the Prime Minister in his cabinet failed to manage the economic fallout from the pandemic on top of all that there is a simmering anger of a corruption charges against Benjamin Netanyahu the Prime Ministers trial resumes next year theyll be witness testimonies hes accused of fraud breach of trust and accepting bribes or who though is more focused on the protesters. To go with them do not drag the state into anarchy violence vandalism and the spreading of disease through terrible sanitary practice like youre in a thing in the street do not be dragged into attacking Police Officers theyre doing their job. At least 12 people are reported to have been arrested to made an arrest on saturday local media say supporters of the Prime Minister clashed with the antigovernment protesters little on this Mitchell Barak a former advisor to the president s office jason perlow and their thoughts on the current tensions but there was functioning and everything did seem under control until everything was back we celebrated too soon here and thats when you know for all the good work that he did in the 1st wave really wasnt there this 2nd time around a large group of protesters are protesting that the Prime Minister is. In the midst of a fraud trial and he should resign protesters that really are problematic for those that are out of work those that are from industries which are not picking up the Tourism Industry the Entertainment Industry there are people that are just out of work and economically are suffering so he needs to answer those people hes going to have to come out with what are really economic plan that is going to put israel back to a Strong Economy as we move through different stages both politically because we had a new government sworn in and in terms of the pandemic itself with new numbers emerge theres been a sort of imbalance between those 2 things and theres a genuine feeling on the street that we could be doing things differently and we could be doing things better now we have a working government theres a stronger position on a stronger position will voice its checks and balances on the on the Prime Minister and on his governments policies and thats expressed on the streets as well its pretty much part and parcel of the democratic debate around how to handle both the economic sides of the pandemic and the medical side as well. The World Health Organization is sounding the alarm of a coronavirus trends in europe cooling them worrying its these could spiral into major outbreaks becomes a spain belgium france see spikes in reported cases of covert 90 several European Countries have now moved to making p.

You may be forgiven for thinking that western europe could force off the worst the pandemic count to offer but theres also been spikes there as well in spain for example the number of new infections has tripled recently in peaceful means that you know this when measures have been relaxed is where outbreaks happen is not only family reunions or other types of gatherings where weve had a good number of new outbreaks but also in places where theres been evening entertainment they have also generated some new outbreaks some countries are already reimposing measures in belgium which was ravaged by the 1st wave of the virus pressure is being placed upon their Health Care System local mayors will be given powers to impose lock downs and curfews in the areas hardest hit we think that this is not really the time to have phase 5. There will be reinforcements taken to counter this part of the coronavirus instead. Germany has been very successful in keeping cases low but this time of year is the peak time for holidays and unfortunately mingling with strangers when traveling. It is a very good way to spread this virus then theres the differences of the proportions taken from country to country here in berlin its strictly for borton to write public transport without a mask while in norway its optional but theres nothing stopping me popping off the all slow for a few days taking in the sights of the tiger city by tram and bringing cove it back to Germany Europe like everywhere else is desperate to get back to normality not least of all for economic reasons but steps taken to quickly can end up being steps taken backwards that come with tragic consequences coronavirus today is no less infectious and no less deadly than it was a few months back.
