I just got started writing about 2. Who we spoke to joey wiser the independent journalist you saw being pepper sprayed as well as to max kinja by over seattle residents to both of them about the protest in the city on saturday. We get to a point where the police vents on the protesters 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 shove backward into a crowd of people and then i obviously drawn off so i turn myself around and try to get. Start filming him and they pepper sprayed me directly and i know 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 my phone i am there a number of independent media and i think to try and separate the 2 is difficult but i will say 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 clearly seem to be provoking with impunity theyre shooting munitions into the crowd so at this point i think were not really sure who theyre all me or who theyre accountable to and its really quite scary now that theyre targeting media for sure.

U. K. Government claims it has recognized the threat posed by russia for a long time and considers moscow 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 british politics which was released tuesday it accuses yuko failing to take the threat seriously. Who is protecting the British Public from interference in our democratic process well in a nutshell we found no one is the u. K. Government took its eye off the ball because of its focus on counterterrorism 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 has want to know if there was what is the worst example you can give all the russian interfere in well thats the question which we want to have unsealed. The british Prime Ministers who reportedly planning to boost funding for the Security Services and introduce a new espionage act in response to the russian report the documents publication was delayed by the government for a year and a half before was finally released tuesday on his own hawkins looks at whats inside. To get a very brief summary of the long awaited russian 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 that again the impact of such influence remains elusive the impact of any such attempts would be difficult if not impossible to was serious 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. We got reaction on the streets of london to the claims made in the rush to report. The owner shot on the. Position more shots are more destruction was really going on. And the fact there were shot of washers. Just by me i just think the. Way she seemed to feel and its come nothing to do with that wait we didnt know it would take this that way to make a list beginning. That. You know other countries ruined the politics of other people will try to influence government interest. Now as part of the fallout of the russian report the u. K. s Opposition Labor Party is also pushing for are things broadcast license to be revoked in a letter to the countrys t. V. Regulator ofcom the was not supposed to be independent and immune from political pressure. I am writing to requested 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 of the office of communications was created in 2003 by act of parliament it regulates britains t. V. And Radio Broadcasts and promotes fair competition of com blocks harmful or offensive content if there are complaints and it didnt leave r. T. 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 pool 2018 taken together these breaches represented serious and repeated failures of compliance with the rules. Of his latest response to allegations from u. K. Says that there was no misinformation or falsehoods in any of our reporting that of com assessed r. T. U. Cohost should return z. Says this is a case of political interference. We now have the words of sakina stormers Shadow 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 her to do what to politically interfere with an independent regulator devastated the fact that sick here starmer 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 he s. Jammers crossed the line here he is attempting perhaps to interfere with an independent. Independent media regulator politically.

I. I. Lets look at whats causing the protesters feel the government didnt get to grips with the coronavirus and they are particularly angry with the return of some lock down measures because of infection spikes they say the Prime Minister and cabinet the moneys the economic fallout of the pandemic and on top of all that the simmering anger over corruption charges against Benjamin Netanyahu the Prime Ministers trial will resume next year the witness testimonies he stands accused of fraud breach of trust and accepting bribes seems to know who those more focused on the protests.

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 the 2nd time around a large group of protesters are protesting that the Prime Minister is corrupt hes 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 one of our real economic plan that is going to put israel back to a shong 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 strong opposition and a strong opposition will voice its checks and balances on the new Prime Minister and on his governments policies and thats expressed on the street 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 about coronavirus trends in europe its called them worrying its feared that these could spiral into major outbreaks it comes as spain belgium and france have seen spikes in reported cases of covert 19 several European Countries have now moved to make p. P. Mandatory in all public spaces with more now on the fears of the european 2nd wave his arteries peter all of. The summer sun has encouraged a return to normal in europe when it comes to covert 19 but ask coronavirus restrictions that be lifted or lucent the World Health Organization is warning about a potential spike in the virus which Eastern Europe and the balkans seem to be particularly at risk. We still have some worrying trends in Southern Europe in the balkans so were not out of the woods just yet in the european environment it requires sustained vigilance just 2 months ago montenegro was declaring itself corona free not anymore it seems to. 1000 cases of the virus have seen social distancing and lock down measures reintroduced but. You may be forgiven for thinking that western europe would 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. You know when measures have been relaxed is where outbreaks happen is not only family reunions or other types of gatherings weve had a good number of new outbreaks but also in places where theres been evening entertainment and 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 face 5 restrictions there will be reinforcements taken to counter this part of the coronavirus instead. Germany has been very successful at keeping cases low but this time of year is the peak time for holidays and unfortunately mingling with strangers when traveling is a very good way to spread this virus then theres the differences proportions taken from country to country here in berlin its strictly for bolton to ride 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 taiga 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 consequence. Says corona virus today is no less infectious no less deadly than it was a few months back well some people are more prone to go over 19 that are those who need to take additional precautions rather than getting down about that one couple in Rio De Janeiro saw an opportunity to have a bit of fun all while also indulging a lifelong fascination with space travel.
