Officials however one of the patients that was meant to a hospital in the initial stage after those things has now been discharged and another remains in stable condition but is currently under observation the counterterrorism place has now taken over the investigation from the thames on a piece meaning that theyve declared a terror incident meaning that the severity level has now been seriously ramped up to the highest level now the head of the u. K. Counterterrorism piece he said the suspect ran into for break out in the park in the reading area and attacked members of the public with a knife however the police have no reason to believe that he was acting with anybody else i can form reconfirm. That this was declared a terrorist thats going to be as a result of this investigation. Were clear that it was not associated in any way with the black lives matter protest which took place peacefully earlier in the day there is no specific intelligence to suggest that attending crowded places is at risk but i would ask the public please continue to. Be alert when you are out in public now around 40 witnesses have come forward assisting the pace in their lines of investigation at this point its also understood that place has carried out an operation in the block of flats where the suspect is believed to have lived allegedly neighbors have even had a controlled explosion in the premises now the total number of injured is unconfirmed indicating there could be a few more injuries today though we have got a comment from Boris Johnson the Prime Minister he says hes appalled and sickened by the attack and that lessons need to be learned one of these lessons obviously is the matter of security obviously the. Kingdom is in the elementary stages of lifting the lockdown procedures head due to the corona virus and many people are taking to hanging out in parks during the lockdown is no where else is open boss restaurants they all remain close at this point so parks all wrong fortunately not surveyed theyre not met most of them dont even have any security and all sorts of events have really shaken the public. Pretty quick. It sounds pretty tragic and its the kind of thing thats happening maybe next time please take you. Think. So. Loud the mayor of writing has announced a minutes silence is to be held tomorrow at 10 oclock and the long running behind closed doors due to of course social distancing measures that are put in place due to the knock down. By himself the Prime Minister is now in contact with the police need to do the investigation earlier today though he did it with Security Officials police and senior ministers at downing street always say that this latest incident is hiding ticket to all the instance across the United Kingdom because as we know britain has been home to terror incidents in previous years. Former London Police detective Peter Kercher commented the response in reading but says officers there are likely to be working with fewer resources then forces in the big cities its something thats been of concern for some time. Whilst the response to terrorist incidents in places like Central London or Central Manchester is often held up as being fantastic and really quick and lots of offices and they are rapidly brought to a conclusion that wouldnt be the case in smaller cities and towns throughout the u. K. The police in those areas they have far fewer resources there are far fewer officers cover for covering far larger areas and so by definition the response to an incident is going to be slower theres going to be fewer officers getting to the scene in this particular instance it seems like the attacker heard. A number of people in the park and then made his way out of the park and was arrested by officers arriving at the scene a short time later so it was brought to rapid conclusion in any event. Under germany now where a night of rioting has left parts of the southwestern city of stood guard in turmoil some 9000. 00 Police Officers were injured as the authorities tried to get a grip on the situation which they described as totally out of control it is believed the riots broke out to do 2 officers conducting random checks in the city center related to a drug bust their shops were broken into and cars smashed including Police Vehicles germanys federal relief team has been called in to assist with a clean up operation the stood guard Police Confirmed 20 people were arrested in the chaos. Moving to the us now seattles police free occupation protest saw a shooting late saturday one man is dead and another injured officer say that they had trouble trying to get into the area and got a violent reaction from the crowd the initial shots were fired in a park in the socalled autonomous zone. Or suspects are still at large Seattle Police retreated from the zone after protesters started throwing projectiles causing officers to use crowd control weapons the capitol hill organized protest or chop also known as chavez has been occupying a district in central seattle for around 2 weeks now and President Trump slammed the situation during a Campaign Rally on saturday having this to say about the citys democrat leaders. And i have a love for others it any time you one will come in will street did in one hour or less. No i made the wrong. What is probably better for us to just watch that disaster. Or earlier in the week this video began circulating online showing a protester apparently handing out assault rifles to minors which is in fact illegal in Washington State activist is act which in ski walked us through the zone a few days ago he left after the deadly shooting but here is is an initial take. When was the last time they used and 2 cities at once to my right is the city of seattle on a typically dreary monday afternoon but. The capitol hill autonomous so its now becoming known as chad is. Currently standing outside of the Seattle Police departments precinct which has been abandoned now after a series of protests that devolved into riots the Seattle Police department decided to be prudent to actually leave the station and so this is become the kind of epicenter for chad is the capitol hill autonomous zone this absolutely beautiful mural of the recent black lives that have been lost in these protests this is the 30 years of already story a lot of people look for a president to see what the changes over to some down to Cal Anderson Park right now which has become sort of a Living Center for the capitol hill a town in the so and you can see in the distance quite a few tents and people have been setting up and and kind of creating slowly over the last couple days Living Community people are going to come here. And like protesting our protest we need some sort of protection. Whether that be guns or whether that be your voices we need that shot your guns what kind is it its. So are you worried about the Police Coming up in here and trying to bust us out trying to move this thing out. Really. As for the antiracism side of the ongoing protests activists have been continuing to take game at what they say are hurtful reminders of the slavery era incidents of confederate and other historic statues being toppled carried on nationwide throughout the week the president called the situation a disgrace to the country while demonstrators they say theyre only getting started. Meanwhile in virginia b. L. M. Supporters were carrying guns and surrounding the statue of confederate general robert e. Lee they described their armed patrols as protecting people from the ku klux klan the monument itself has been sprayed with graffiti and photos of Police Brutality victims placed around the statue protesters call the monument a reminder of oppression. The reason im here is because. This statute that you know the state she has brought a lot of a lot of pressure on people who want to see it that you have city confederacy people certain clean people certain set of people who dont want to see it that they want to keep it to the mind of the oppression to keep us in this is heaven that this is that were not heading. From statues to shop shelves another major American Consumer brand overhauled its packaging this week to avoid being labeled as racially insensitive cream of wheat breakfast porridge became the 4th brand in a 24 hour period to reassess the use of images to black people to sell goods or to scale them up and look at the levels of sincerity that went into that decision. Rebellion across america its very clear u. S. Society needs to do something to address its flaws when it comes to issues of racism something must be done so corporate and political elites have decided its time to change corporate logos and advertising and jim im a pancake mix made by pepsi corp is going to be changed more people have flipped over and through my mothers ban and many other and cakes in the world we recognize and origins are based on a racial stereotype while work has been done over the years to update the brand where realize those changes are not enough and your mind was based on nancy green a beloved africanamerican storyteller was born in slavery but rose to become a talented entrepreneur in the post civil war years there was something about it and to my mother the call for angela my mother to be changed has been building on social media for a long time did you know the founder chris wright a white man again the name after attending the National Show they black face did you also know he hired former slave nancy grace to be his very much amana where she went around to the gates and Senate People stories of the good ole sat and the as they had sent home about 7 to her and the feeling of having their very own man that last matter people. Even over this some say its far from racist to have the image of a black person on a food product list of brands changing their logos is growing. Amid all the protest and public outrage it seems the images. Symbols and monuments have become the focus of so much public discussion. Politicians are eager to make grand gestures for those who wish to leave one now neal for a moment of silence. Just a time. Purpose to seize and to listen and heal now is the time for Racial Justice but will this solve the actual issue behind the protests the conditions facing africanamericans symbolic gestures that the corporations and some Government Entities are involved its not going to be enough to win social stability in the United States and its commentary these are neck the issues that brought millions of people into the streets the government needs to address institutional racism in the United States it has to address the militarization of the police to demilitarize Law Enforcement officials the protests are not about images and symbols theyre about economic Injustice Police chokeholds mass incarceration and much more addressing the issues that have spawned decades of racial unrest in the United States would require some very big dramatic shifts the very foundations of u. S. Society might need to be altered so why is the media focused on cullen every products it will mop an artsy new york. Still to come in the weeks a big stories a collapse in relations in korea the north a dramatically blows up a diplomatic outpost and vows to send troops into the demilitarized a zone the south warns its neighbor will pay a price more on that in just a few moments this is the weekly on our team for national. You can be bold with yeah youre. Welcome back to the weekly right here on R T International now in france nationwide rallies by healthcare workers saw some ugly scenes on tuesday tens of thousands turned out to remind the government about its pledge to help medical staff and support hospitals as the day progressed of though peaceful protests took a darker turn. The Police Accuse some violent individuals of hijacking a peaceful protest that comes as video of a french nurse being injured during her arrest at a rally in paris sparked a furious reaction online a free for read a campaign sprang up in Response Police say she was detained for throwing projectiles at officers was eventually released from custody but is due in court in september charged with rebellion when Police Seized her the 52 year old was heard saying she couldnt breathe and asking for her asthma medication. That i heard much everyone applauded medical stuff at 8 pm for months but no one wanted to bother the health of my mother or other Health Care Workers during these 2 months for a long time medical personnel have said that they are suffocating but then not being heard perhaps you should ask yourself how come a 51 year old woman a mother of 2 who has worked for 20 years in the Public Service for 20 years has Health Care Workers never complain network how did she come to this. To camera operators from r t friends were also injured while filming some of the rest when people began throwing stones at police both received treatment from medical workers who were at the rally. But when it comes to policing officers in france will still be able to use controversial restraining methods at the start of the week the government backtracked on completely banning chokeholds after opposition from officers more on that from dubinsky. Francis interior minister promised 0 tolerance on racism among the forces a promise that came all the mass protests over allegations of racism and Police Brutality unleashed following the death of george floyd in the us free stuff yesterday even. During his speech. The joke called method known as the strangulation method will be abandoned and will no longer be taught in Police Schools it was a method that had its dangers in addition if a Police Officer has to keep someone on the ground during their arrest they will now be prohibited from leaning on their head or neck to protest is hailed asked in this move to ban the chokehold but the reaction from the police was theory unions described the technique as essential. My colleagues who used the choke hold which we call the takedown technique dont do it for the fun of it they do it because theyre dealing with a very individual who doesnt want to be taken down as unions demand think to yourself this is turned out to protest through bringing back handcuffs. On the by what i will also not allowed to intervene in certain neighborhoods because we dont want the young people to rebel so we have to let a certain amount of delinquency go in certain neighborhoods and then were told that if we control them then we are racist but want to know how do we proceed with individuals who refuse to be arrested under the effect of narcotics alcohol if they take away our working methods there will be possible anymore it all proved too much for the interior ministry its now made a u. Turn on the choke hold ban suspending it until a socalled alternative can be found now human rights organizations have stepped in. It is unfortunate that interior minister custom there reconsider his decision to abandon the practice of chokehold and the danger of which he himself could recall that when the ban was briefly in place it was announced the French Police would start to test stun guns for wide use and there seems to be no backtracking on this as that decision was being taken across the atlantic this happened which is one of. Those of the stuff. That was stun guns so in limited but increasing use in france up almost 70 percent between 2017 and 2019 last year the use of stun guns proved fatal once while others suffered severe injuries while stun guns or increasingly becoming the weapon of choice of course europe enforced even the Police Concern us. We must understand that when the police use force because there is someone who doesnt want to obey the law when the technique is banned from the police must be given a solution and we agree that a stun gun is not the solution and what forces him buckled in a row over whether or not the force is all racist too brutal or just doing their jobs offices all seeing their methods to control friends suspects being severely beefed up just in your past theres a real problem of racism theres a documentary principle based on appearance there is a certain cover up of the problems their denial is institutional in nature the republican not exist without the police which means it is necessary to act and it is necessary to act quickly to trust in the police in france is necessary condition for National Unity as long as hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens are afraid to meet the police. When they go out into the streets this indicates a serious problem and significant function in our public. There was a dramatic worsening in korean relations on tuesday the north blew up a negotiation outpost with the south sending their heavily strained relationship to a dangerous new low. There have been weeks of dispute with the south which pyongyang blames for stalled peace talks and failing to stop defectors distributing cross border propaganda north korea also later threatened to send troops into the demilitarized border zone all but wiping out a deal to reduce tensions within the south agreed to barely 2 years ago. The artillery units deployed to the level of the from guard to top class come by due to system through all the front line and will resume all kind of regular military exercises in the areas close to the boundary if the north actually takes such a move it will certainly paid the price for it. North korea has been complaining in recent weeks that propaganda leaflets have been flowing from the south claiming it is in violation of the reached agreements some defector groups have been sending flyers by balloon across the heavily fortified border the government in the south has taken Police Action against these groups saying their activities were not helping efforts to achieve peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula on saturday reports emerged that north korea was going to retaliate with its own leaflets korea specialist Gabriela Byrne all believes pyongyangs ultimate aim though could be attracting attention from abroad. I think its just because of those leaflets those anti north korea propaganda lets which they say thats why they did it but its highly unlikely that that is the only reason because for them to risk alienating seoul and really getting back on the bad side of potentially of the United States because of this aggressive act its very difficult to believe that its simply because of some fliers that were you know desperate distributed over to the border in north korea so i definitely believe that this is there are a kind of a last hell marry attempt to really get americas attention which is becoming increasingly difficult with this domestic situation the u. S. Now so i think thats why theyre resorted to such a aggressive act that they are otherwise maybe wouldnt have done in their eyes theyre probably thinking well we tried diplomacy we tried talking to trump we tried sitting down with the south korean president we tried taking the diplomatic peaceful route but well its not really gotten us anything and were still being hurt by the sanctions our economy is in shambles. Everyones ignoring us internationally right now and nothings really going on thats helping us really so we havent really gotten much out of it something to consider that they might think they might have felt very desperate. Well that does it for me and of the weekly this hour and for today but stay with us throughout the day as we bring you more of todays top news this is R T International. We go to work. Straight home.
