And i think its important to me is because i think theres a lot of those behind i think we should be planning to from the beginning. Broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our t. V. International im sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. Now the Chinese Foreign ministry has accused the us of violating International Law by breaking into its consulate in houston beijing has vowed to retaliate american agents were seen forcing their way through the back door right after chinese officials were required to vacate the building the raid happened on friday President Trump ordered the closure earlier in the week accusing beijing of stealing intellectual property while the Justice Department claimed consular staff were obstructing an investigation officials said they had been implicated in a fraud probe at a Texas Research institution meanwhile in the chinese city of chengdu the american consulate has been shut down in a tit for tat and measure there have been allegations that both nations were seeking to get rid of Sensitive Information some footage captured a man taking garbage bags out of the building in chengdu one of the bags split and appeared to contain shredded paper. In a related development a chinese researcher has been arrested in San Francisco tang jiaxuan is accused of not disclosing her military affiliations in her visa application shes one of 4 visiting researchers who have recently been accused of visa fraud beijing has condemned the crackdown and urged the United States to stop harassing Chinese Students and researchers arties donald quarter comments on the ongoing escalation. Since the 1970 s. Us Foreign Policy has used more honey than vinegar and its dealings with beijing china has definitely changed as a result but not exactly the way washington wanted it to you know when it was much different than we think it would produce a future with bright promise of comedy and cooperation. But today today were all still wearing mask and watching the pandemics body count rise because the c. C. P. Failed in its promises to the world if we want to have a free 21st century and not the chinese century of which being dreams. The old paradigm of blinding gauge with china simply wont get it done speech seems to have a lot in common with that of Winston Churchills when he declared an iron curtain had descended across europe dividing it into soviet and western spheres it was the beginning of the cold war and with pomp ails us against them rhetoric another cold war between the u. S. And china may be brewing this isnt about containment dont buy that. Its about a complex new challenge that weve never faced before. The u. S. S. R. Was closed off from the free world communist china is already within our borders washingtons hostile stance is no doubt part of a recent pitfall in sino u. S. Relations while waistband in the u. S. Accusations of tech that disputes in the South China Sea its all reminding experts of a warning former president Richard Nixon made decades ago we must cultivate jointed during the next few decades want it is learning to develop its National Strength and potential otherwise we will one day be confronted with the most for middle enemy that has ever existed in the history of the world unfortunately for washington nixon was right when he was president china was still an economically backwards country with its eyes on Rapid Development fast forward to the present and the communist parties accomplished much of what it set out to do its lifted millions out of abject poverty it led the country to what looks like a quick recovery from the cove in 1000 pandemic it doesnt seem willing to stop in the face of washington statements. Remarks which ignore facts enough and of ideological bias and cold war mentality are a hodgepodge of political lies intensively made recently by senior u. S. Officials accusation. Of human rights abuses authoritarian name calling pump a is even label china system a new tyranny it does all sound a bit crusading but then again its nothing new in americas Foreign Policy playbook the troika of tyranny in this hemisphere cuba venezuela and nicaragua has finally met its match pressers regimes and ideologies forces of oppression to tell a tear in ism and domination well despite the trumpet ministrations best efforts the socalled troika of tyranny is still around even where u. S. Backed regime change was successful its still no walk in the park in iraq the government is basically powerless to combat militias that see it as a us puppet and in countries where the u. S. Failed like venezuela its a huge waste of taxpayer money china though is a lot more powerful and with u. S. Allies unwilling to get behind this new strategy paul might need to rethink his approach because. The world has already danish. And actually in my opinion corners code to work between china and america has now must go positive because the United States has never spoke to you know we think you know who you were talking to wouldnt do thinking about the china you know who were the its a very. Rich country. More. In the world in the war to fancy specially issue a decision to question many people to understand i think the United States would be really need to and. In interference in the other countries you. Yet another standoff is unfolding in the us city of portland on friday night federal troops fired tear gas and rubber bullets at a crowd of activists who were marching on the courthouse and police say there were brutal clashes between protesters with an africanamerican from supporter reportedly stabbed by an aunt of the activist. My. Federal forces that were sent in earlier this week by president trouble to quell increasingly violent antiracism protests some residents and Business Owners have complained their city has been turned into a war zone by the riots but more than a dozen u. S. Mayors most of them democrats have voiced alarm over the federal crackdown and the u. N. Is now adding its concern over the security response. Peaceful demonstrations that have been taking place in cities in the u. S. Such as portland really might be able to continue with that these positions baten them and ill say that people are reporting and them the journalists risk an arbitrary address to detention being subject to unnecessary disproportionate discriminants or use of force or suffering other violations of the your rights well since the riot started in portland 18 people have been arrested on charges including arson and vandalism we heard from some of those involved in the protest movement. Car or the drums are pretty much. Just really. Heard through thunderbird that says her. Father would sit right with the record. Right. Out here. We. Revert. We can now cross it live to ray lewis a retired Philadelphia Police captain thank you very much for being with us here on R T International thank you now the situation is. Interesting to say the least in portland 8 weeks now of anger and protests culminating in the largest crowd yet to rally last night just how long is the situation right now. Its very alarming i have never seen anything like this in my life and it just shows the anger and the hostility of the people who have been finally awoken to the injustices of this country and theyre not going to take it anymore theyre fed up theyre there be on any type of trying to accept things and this is exactly why why even White America now being and i have never seen that in all these years you even have a group called wall moms who are out there tech these young people so this is quite different and its going to be going on quite a while it does seem that theres a different vibe to the entire situation and were also mixing with jurisdictional issues as well a federal forces have been brought in and criticized by the United Nations for violent tactics against the protesters are their actions not appropriate when theres safety or the safety of the public is in danger. Is that good or bad that the federal governments getting involved. Well whenever you have safe. Involved and that can be either imminent death or serious Bodily Injury yes youre going to need Law Enforcement but that is not the case here because it is Law Enforcement that is instigating these dangerous incidents they are the ones that are causing the possibility of serious Bodily Injury or even test so that is totally out of the picture and as justification for federal agents we have seen the its quite a dynamic and fluid situation to say the least the main demand of the protesters in portland right now differs from the beginning originally it was more of a black lives matter support movement now their demands are to have those federal troops taken out of the city will that happen and if it does what will the protesters do next can they just carry on or do you think there will be a sense of victory there i dont know what is going to happen to those demands that are all for search out but the people that are authorized they are not going to quit until there are. Problems are dressed whether the federal troops stay there or not they have problems with White Supremacy that need to be addressed and until those problems are youre going to continue to have this uprising. Now youre in a unique position to shed some light on this weve seen video that has emerged online showing police being called to a stabbing incident which is their job to respond and react specially if the situation is dangerous and then seemingly being abused by the very same people that called them out what do you make of these kinds of actions against the police. Is there some sort of a middle ground that people need to come to. Well obviously i have who are these type of actions when the police go to a c to help and they are attacked thats a no brainer but your far right conservative media is doing is taking these very isolated incidents and blowing them up to disparage this up. Youre not going to have a perfect uprising in a situation like this when youre getting tear gas. Rubber bullets or most Everything Else like that youre going to have some mild violence towards Law Enforcement officers and federal troops but there are very going to be isolated. Blown up by your former right wing media. Ray lewis retired Philadelphia Police captain i wish you and i had the opportunity to speak an entire hour on this topic im sure that we could. Hope you come back and help us sort through this as this situation continues. Alrighty thank you very much all right thanks. I switching gears now in england Face Coverings are now mandatory in all public spaces but it has raised the question over who should monitor compliance some major retailers and smaller shops 2 are saying its not up to them to enforce the new rules are u. K. Correspondent isa ali reports. Provide a its now mandatory for people in england to wear a face mask when they go to Shop Supermarket or they go to pick up a delivery now were going to go on to the streets of london to try to see what the public think they should done this before coronavirus point. The fact that its running one people 100 pounds. And probably money out of Peoples Health just that that kind of public picture of government. I think we should have been implementing from the beginning. I think its important to abide by these rules visit think theres a lot of science that goes behind coming up with these rules most of the shops that i went into werent really forcing the rules those that were just said that they would recommending people to where mosques to cover their faces now many of those shop workers dont want to be enforcing those rules because they fear aggression and backlash from certain members of the public if they were to try to make people wear masks with hundreds of incidents of violence and abuse directed at retail stuff every day we welcome then ousmane that in force meant to be left to their thoughts rather than potentially put in hard work in retail colleagues in harms way if. Someone refuses to wear a face mask probably we can kindly asked him to leave but as to enforcing it its not its viable it will do certain people who would be upset about it. And they did the most controlling boss of us also as well is our weekend in force if you dont always encourage people to have it but. God knows how weve done and sort of the government of said that those who refused to wear face masks when going into shops could be fined up to 100. 00 pounds should an individual without an exemption refuse to wear a Face Covering a shop can refuse them entry and can call the police if people refuse to comply the police have full into. Powers and can issue a fine and the police dont seem to be too keen either saying that making them in force that is both unrealistic and unfair policing the wearing of Face Coverings in shops cant be a priority because we simply dont have the resources to expect my colleagues to be policing the supermarket aisles looking for those shoppers not wearing a Face Covering is unrealistic and unfair the u. K. Has had one of the worst coronavirus death tolls of any country around the world there are some who say that these measures are better late than never but many others who feel that its far too little thought through like. The. Thousands in jerusalem have been protesting against the under fire israeli Prime Minister demonstrators gathered in front of Benyamin Netanyahu is residents in the city as well as at some 250 intersections across the country 10 people were arrested for disturbing public order according to police has been reported that the authorities have now cleared the area outside netanyahu is home rallies against the economic fallout of the coded pandemic and Government Policies are left and right wing groups clash protestors are calling for netanyahu to resign over corruption allegations while blaming him of mishandling the krona virus crisis but supporters of the pm were out as well didnt backing to the israeli. People in the far eastern russian city of a car bartowski are protesting for a 3rd consecutive weekend in support of their former governor he was arrested earlier this month on allegations of ordering the murders 15 years ago or his correspondent but i ghazi of picks up the story for us. 7 ton zones away in the region of the bottom of the Pacific Ocean there are very different opinions on the entire affair the entire case of sergei for go he was arrested on very serious charges and this was a high profile arrest the suspicion of organizing the kidnapping in the murder multiple entrepreneurialism and these cases divided russians all over the country the official statistics that weve heard is 6500 people attending this demonstration unofficial reports going up 220000 people are still angry they demand the dismissal of these cases a little i went out into the streets because i could not take it anymore im boiling over and sat with support for girl who want justice to prevail did you dont like the political situation in the country i am dissatisfied with our government and officials it is a simple as that society has matured to the point of expressing its indignation about what is happening in the far east sygate for god himself has maintained his innocence throughout and says he looks forward to the investigation against the being brought to an end he is also enjoyed a lot of popularity street. Reputation as a governor who cares a governor who has an ear to the concerns of constituents and voters hes made a habit of dressing down very publicly officials that have either been incompetent to. d work his temporary replacement dictator of hasnt been welcomed with open arms protests to say that he doesnt belong he has no ties to the region and that you know that much prefer the old governor nevertheless the new governor says hes there to stay and hes going to do a good job going. Lets respect each other lets Work Together as ive been doing for food days in the governors office. I came here all of your complaints are taken into account so that all government bodies work smoothly i will spend the weekend on a trip around the bar of school region. Still the new governor and protesters are at loggerheads because the protesters who gather in these huge crowds they say he is refused to come out to speak with them to engage with them which is the sides of of week this fear even self says he has the dime to waste that there is a lot to be done that the big show everything runs smoothly that there is a smooth transition in the years advised the protesters the to stop what theyre doing be these needless and meaningless protests that instead devote their energy and enthusiasm to volunteer work for example.
