a crime to say that the official response from being completely inadequate and many of the people who are angry about the founding which was the food the building the gas the systems were put in the room in the stairwell so when those coal fire it was a death trap and nobody could escape also the fact that ten million dollars spent on cosmetic changes to the outside of the building to make it look that's all for rich residents who live nearby and it was that external cladding which caused the fire to spread so quickly and take so many lives so these protests is very angry at the time and but this is going to be a transformative point in the history of this country and judging by the response of members of the public will combine in their cause beeping and supports that is a very popular course this horrible story coming so soon on the back of the election it says everything that's wrong about our society this is one of the richest countries in the wilds one of the. places in the world this bar in london

as well but this is an area where the poor people live and their lives this century have been sold up the river based on this crazy ideology of deregulation because worth noting the reason may when she went down to the fire to the site of the tragedy she talked to some some fire officers but she didn't talk to any of the local people and i think the reason for that was that she knew that they would that they would repent for the many catastrophic failings that have led to this and i think this is only strengthened the sense in the mine just that we must see the end of this government and see a transition to to a way of governing where we where we fix the priorities in terms of what we need to spend on and then work out how to how to provide the appropriate funding for those priorities not the other way around. trees i'm a husband visiting people hospitalized of the blaze she's also allocated five million pounds to those affected and demanded a full inquiry into the fatal tragedy but as artie's poly boy reports next the u.k.

prime minister is being blamed for more than just a response to the fire when your own ideas fail just borrow your parents no one and no community is left behind doesn't that sound a lot like this no one and no community is left behind and this no community and no one is there behind this nobody and no community should ever agree left behind in fact jeremy corbin used that throughout the labor party leadership race last summer he even used it to launch labour's election campaign for the general election perhaps threes in may thought that borrowing a labor phrase would help attract some extra support given how badly she fadden has self-imposed snap general election a vote in which jeremy corbyn went from zero to hero. the conservative leaders song from the left wing labor party's. hymn sheet before

when she first became prime minister to resume a spoke of opportunities for hard working people we will make britain a country that would not for a privileged few but for every one of those many couldn't help but notice a familiar tone today we set out how we can replace it our government of the few with a government that is truly for all the people of working britain. like a political chameleon to reason may has borrowed more than her fair share from the right as well in the run up to the e.u. referendum she was a quiet remain a but this was back then nigel farage accused of stealing all his policies by getting britain outside the european union controlling immigration and helping small businesses and four years old the british prime minister was running on exactly the same ticket while thrilled ukip supporters flocked to join the conservative party this was one of them back in october the if it were between them

is putting in actually implanting you could policy is fantastic and there's a huge numbers of members and supporters up and down the country considering doing exactly what i have done when public opinion skewed a right to resume a adjusted her speech and her ideas to fit the agenda when it swung back to the left so did her rhetoric it's all textbook electioneering but as to reason may's disappointing results at the polls has demonstrated relying on it too heavily may do more harm than good her poll ratings are now as low as jeremy corbin at the start of the snap election campaign that's not deterred the labor leader from borrowing some of to resume a nice campaign phrases but only for a law and i'm sure you'll move forward to world during the queen's speech just as soon as the coalition of chaos has been negotiated has got some. possible the labor

party stands ready to offer strong i. r t london. u.s. justice department has been giving advice to the american public on handling potential fake news especially concerning anonymous sources in a statement by the deputy attorney general rod steen he said caution should be exercised when watching all reading news attributed to name sources the girlfriend says santiago explains why the justice department is spoken out. deputy attorney general rosenstein statement has raised quite a few eyebrows especially considering that as of late majority of the american press relies on nothing but not in most sources on the den of sources two sources with links to the counter intelligence community anonymous sources according to anonymous washington post source while the mainstream media seems to love them the
2:09 am
justice department is busy reviewing all the fakes no wonder they're getting quite fed up with them at the d.o.j. take a look this washington post headline claims that rosenstein threatened to resign after the white house cast him as the prime suspect for suggesting to fire the x. of the i directed james komi when asked about this by journalists mr rosenstein claimed he never said such a thing now c.n.n. a regular in anonymous sources came out saying that according to sources told me would testify that he never told trump that he was not under investigation only as kind of conflict and i took away from it what he did which was he said i've been assured that i'm not under any investigation took away kind of this blanket assurance which we believe comey will say he did not give the president but when mr comey testified he said the exact opposite he actually told mr trump three times that mr president you are not under investigation c.n.n.
2:10 am
even retracted their article confirming the original fake news story or how about this new york times article where not even a sources cited but rather the n.y.t. types it out like a fact that told me days before being fired asked the d.o.j. for more prosecutors and personnel to accelerate the f.b.i.'s investigation into alleged russia's interference in the presidential election but guess what the justice department flatly denied that komi met with rosenstein to ask for more resources and here is house majority leader kevin mccarthy can. firming that these allegations are nothing but faults one of the questions were. public present but he said he's already said it that he has no evidence that only asked for a need for the resources that all the resources were there but good knowing n.y.t. and now c.n.n. is raising eyebrows with their exact quote being what as the reaction to
2:11 am
mr rosenstein is anonymous source a statement wow can it get any better than this in the world of mainstream media even managed to off the justice department francis and thiago r t well the justice department statement came just hours after the washington post published an article saying the very same department appointed a special counsel to investigate president trump for alleged obstruction of justice again a named officials was cited we discussed the issue with a number of experts. some time now before his inauguration even that there was briefings going on against that could only could that were contending for mation it could only have come from a high level some of those of a security classified nature and one would have expected a major investigation to have been carried out into the engine itself to leaking classified information to the media is a criminal offense the united states as elsewhere but no investigation of that seems to have taken place i thought of those leaks but certainly many of the leaks are more political in nature and the fact is most intelligence officers who were
2:12 am
telling us officers swear an oath of loyalty to the constitution they were not a patriot who got them the job by the top of all these organizations there is a political will and in this political level there are number of people who are obligated to serve the people that know what we didn't know and i suspect and i do believe that many of these leaks we're seeing are coming from that political level in the intelligence agencies. it's a small of the u.n. human rights watch to. seriously concerned they say over what's a mounting civilian death toll from u.s. led airstrikes against islamic state and the reported numbers much higher than those admitted by washington it seems. the u.n. says hundreds of civilians have reportedly been killed in recent strikes in the
2:13 am
embattled syrian city of rocket the eisel held hubs under siege by the u.s. by local forces with support of west and more planes and across the border in iraq two civilian deaths are also reportedly rising in the islamic state stronghold of mosul which has been under a similar siege for months the u.s. led coalition's also been accused of using chemical weapons nias civilians in both those cities and what could potentially amount to war crimes. reports the u.s. coalition is more than willing to update the world on its activities against the islamic state in iraq and syria who have successfully been able to take ground from isis already in rocca i recently walked the streets of east and west mosul and i saw for myself that markets and their businesses are reopening so things are moving around the city and living their lives however u.n. investigators paint a very different picture of rock intensification of the strikes we each have
2:14 am
behaved at the ground for the events in iraq has resulted not to all the staggering loss of see if you don't life but because also led to two hundred hundred sixty thousand civilians fleeing their homes and becoming in devon displaced the united states insists that less than five hundred civilians have been killed throughout the entire campaign over the last three years in iraq and syria however the united nations points out that three hundred civilians have been killed in the last four months in iraq alone. and the situation in mosul is even worse this is just one example one of these strikes in the area that somewhere between fifty and eighty civilians may have been killed. in our street and we went to rescue people under the rubble we risk you don't we could see and then we left the area on top of that the u.s. led coalition is being accused of using white phosphorous.
2:15 am
u.s. leaders won't confirm whether or not they're using the lethal chemical munition however they say that if they are they're doing it in a manner that's consistent with international law but human rights watch points out this chemical put civilians in great danger burning their flesh down to the bone even a minor burn from this toxic powder can be fatal white phosphorus has been used in syria in iraq previous occasions but since a dental effects can cause terrible injuries to a question is what is it hitting on the ground and adequate provisions being taken to ensure that civilians and not falling victim to white phosphorous that's the nature of urban warfare fighting in close confines with civilians and legitimate targets closely mixed in with each other and there's only one way forward for the u.s. coalition we have already shifted from attrition. from one position to another iraq syria to annihilation to
2:16 am
a billion cattle or a fact of life in this sort of situation looks like the united states has made their choice about how they're going to go about defeating i still the only question left is how many more people are going to die for that to happen. r.t. new york stay with us internationally if you can coming up just after a quick break oliver stone releases the transcripts from his interviews with president putin the didn't i could do with we'll bring you the details right here coming up. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us it actually does belong on the only show i go out of my way to. really packed a punch oh yeah john oliver of r t america. we are apparently better than. the sea people you've never heard of. jack tonight
2:17 am
president of the world bank very. seriously send us an email. here of course the younger generation is that if they bought the trending go against the status quo danger their prospects in life and so many of them shell out basically jobs in the city or on wall street and they don't continue in their youth ball exuberance for many years to make it a permanent solution a permanent movement but now labor the point but now with things like currencies this generation can bypass the entire financial infrastructure and create their own financial realities. again so germany's first so-called liberal more schools opened its doors in the
2:18 am
capital but according to its found the grand opening has been a struggle locals are split over the idea of a mosque that's taken over from a protestant church europe correspondent peter all of us across the story. germany's first liberal most stores on friday here inside a protestant church but despite coming together in a spirit of peace there's a clearly a police presence visible as the opening so goes the a whole a welcome at the. no matter what your gender sexual orientation all religious affiliation one thing that isn't allowed is the burka organizers say this is partly to do with security reasons but mostly as that they see that the full face veil has become overly politicized i asked people in the local area what they made of the new mosque how i get married in this church and my
2:19 am
children were baptized here and now here's a new culture we have to get accustomed to eight these days we have a multicultural society so we have to deal with our. standards skeptical about whether it's going to work there is a possibility it could cause some tensions and they are going to do if there's a positive dialogue between religions and no one says that someone has to be destroyed then i'm ok with that. although some were less tolerant he was the catalyst those are not catholics i am catholic and should go over there and ask them and. i was able to grab a quick word with one of the women that will be leading prayers at the mosque and ask just what they were hoping to achieve with this project cap and translate i am happy for us it is important that all the people who don't feel welcome in their existing mosques find a place here i can take care of myself but i am afraid that something will happen tomorrow i need to protect my people. while some politicians of given up on the
2:20 am
idea of multiculturalism in germany here at the grassroots people still believe that it can succeed in some form peter all of the early. influential hollywood filmmakers oliver stone was wetting the public's appetite over his interviews with the russian president doesn't he will now he's released the transcripts of their conversations including some material which didn't make it to the prime time four part series but emily soon can tell us more about this new publication what's in it for those of you who want to get a bigger picture are putting a stake. in some of the world's most pressing political affairs while this two hundred fifty page transcript that stone just published it will do just that and certainly one of the most interesting highlights in this transcript is putin's comments on edward snowden the former n.s.a. contractor and whistleblower who's been granted asylum here in russia since two thousand and thirteen that's already been revealed in one of the episodes that putin said he does not agree with what snowden did but in the transcript winstone asked putin if snowden would ever be extradited back to the u.s.
2:21 am
put in said no not under any circumstances as snowden is not a criminal commenting on the current status of the relationship between moscow and washington while putin said that he thinks one of the key mistakes on washington's part is this take a listen the mystique is that our partners in the united states still treat russia as if it were their main geo political rival while the two hundred fifty page transcript documents the about twenty hours that stone has spent with putin between july twenty fifteen and february twenty seventh and really it's obvious that un is indeed a person's personality and how he communicates with his closest staff because at one point a strong question dimitry peskov was the premise oxman if his boss being put in ever shouted at him to which he answered you know here's putin's explanation as to why he never raises his voice i never scream at all if you raise the tone of your voice then people are not very good understanding the sense of what is being said to them so as you can see there this transcript on top of the four part series
2:22 am
certainly offer quite an interesting never before seen insight into a person's personality and his take on some of the world's most pressing affairs. the biggest football of into the summer is set to kick off in russia this saturday later today the field for twenty seventeen confederations cup will take place in four cities across the country with the host getting proceedings underway today and some people nice day for the award winning sports broadcaster stan collymore heading up big coverage of the big tournament. very exciting firstly it's more like venice than some preachers bird today we need the bull to it's been absolutely sensational the weather lots of people walking around we've seen a few cameron finds few mexico funds but there are two main things i want to see how the russian public react to their team a very young team they're very disappointed let's not forget in the in the last year a pretty championships and also christiane a rinaldo lot some speculation in the sporting news across the planet today i. will
2:23 am
leave rome would require incredible news maybe come to russia who knows but impossible to say ok let's talk a little bit now about the game of course it all kicks off tomorrow russia and you zealand are getting ready to battle it out they're going to be playing at that brand new st petersburg stadium it was designed to look like a space ship that towers above the baltic sea coastline fantastic here we were lucky enough stan and i to check out the arena for ourselves. a stand so first impressions exceptional absolutely beautiful stadium it reminds me of when this smaller version of wembley going to. this is sixty eight stations tell you what i really want to get fashionable is to speak the side twenty first century technology preach technology come down to try it the way you couldn't take it back
2:24 am
there is no problems with a peach. you got a heater is all right or you'll fall to it now let's look at the six hundred this is look surely. this is normally the layout in the great dressing room so many everybody just off. now would you call this tactic well yeah maybe it would probably be on a on a in the corner he would sit with just three annoyed to be able to see the open ocean so you see it's all. last month there'd been a sale of over three hundred thousand tickets and almost ninety percent of those were by russians so it seems that the russians not only want to see russia do well and hopefully win on saturday nights and do well in the tournament but also that they want to see some of those big teams coming in as well interestingly to some of the other foreign teams that they also how they're following and they're doing pretty particularly well in ticket sales if you look at the chile see if you look at the mexico city and also unsurprisingly as the world champions looking at the
2:25 am
german team as well last week or a quarter with news even head coach into the hudson new zealand creates you know the answer is yes koshare there's literally no point has been there for we don't believe we can beat russia they're also negative stories about russia in the press or managers or coaches of football for. expecting to see in russia. well i went there for the jury november event was good people were very friendly professional i'm looking forward to certainly not focused on the any negativity around the tone but also i think a big part of what we're going to be doing here is seeing what it's going to be like for the found see this is the free fought fan day guarantees me. it's one thing. to find it's not a huge thing isn't it is going to be as it's a russia can be particularly difficult takes all that this toil out of the situation to travel pass on match days it's going to be the opening match is going to kick off to you know half weeks of coverage we are going to be looking at the games we're going to bring you match highlights we do
2:26 am

2:29 am
for single syllable words in a row to wriggle out of his mouth. and on the interne hiding behind the podium in order to refill him with a finger full of liver pâté. i'm also very proud to say that the dakota access pipeline is now officially open for business it was dead. one hundred twenty days ago and now it officially just opened for business and by open for business he means that it's leaking oil into the water and the land. the kid has to get the league still oil rigs go in early are you want to you want to show the wildlife who's boss you do well listen fellows beavers fish what have you we're going to be pissin toxic fluid all over the place all right so i don't want to hear a peep out of yeah you just. get the out of the way ok. but that's not the only thing trump is not telling you what.
