5:01 am
very good afternoon for me. here in the morning in the u.k. this hour i will be watching welcome but this is where our news is starting today in london again reporting the latest thousand protesters of march there demanding justice and help be given to the victims of the grenfell. angry crowds blame the conservative government and its austerity policies for the tragedy that apartment block the official death toll has reached thirty but it's expected to rise further seventy people still unaccounted for. i. i i i i. i . ah over the course of this demonstration
5:02 am
this mosque this march we managed to speak to some very very angry people how did i get to them bedrooms at night when there are people who have to sleep on the floor and. now i know everything and everything we need people. in life to hold for centuries decades it's not about now it's about every minute that we've been lied to that our government has been lines was covering stuff up and we thought enough the broncos run along since the press is the people of boston you got people killed as a result of their dreams someone should be able to count to the school for a month or two we have a government that's come down a prime minister that came to the scene of the crime and you have the decency to meet a resident weighs the elements and swayze weighs the paper weighs everyone that leaves the nice flat sways all the tendency is great ways that the nice don't occupy is that need to know when i sat the anger on the protesting by violence is hard to say
5:03 am
that the official response from being completely inadequate and many of the people who are angry about the planning which was done 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. entries in the world one of the richest places in the world this bar in
5:04 am
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 is worth noting that the reason may when she went down to the fire to the site of the tragedy she talked to some fire offices 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 minds of 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 and the other way around. trees in my house we visiting people hospitalized in the blaze she's also collected five million pounds for those affected and demanded a full inquiry into the fatal tragedy but most authorities probably boy he reports
5:05 am
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 and this nobody and no community should ever be 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 treason 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 dem which jeremy corbyn went from zero to hero.
5:06 am
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. people say the e.u. does not make us more secure because it does not allow us to control our borders. but that is not true we were the voters but we want our country back the new role for ourselves in the world as a strong country with control over our borders. the single market accounts for a huge volume of all trade look at the facts the potential risks to jobs the uncertainties for our economy if we were to leave the european union framework of the single market i would say is a beginning but you must be optimistic about what you are proposing cannot mean
5:07 am
membership of the single market nigel farage accused of stealing all his policies by getting britain outside the european union controlling immigration and helping small businesses and for years old the british prime minister was running on exactly the same ticket while thrilled to ukip supporters flocked to join the conservative party when public opinion skewed right to reason may adjusted her speech and her ideas to fit the agenda when it swung back to the left so did her rhetoric it's textbook electioneering but as to reason may's disappointing results at the polls have demonstrated relying on it too heavily may do more harm than good 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 the reason may's campaign phrases but only for
5:08 am
a law i know i'm sure you'll look forward to welcoming the queen's speech just as soon as the coalition of chaos has been negotiated. it's not possible the labor party stands ready to offer a strong. politico antti london. i'll say the saturday the us justice to. and has been given advice to the american public on handling potential fake news especially concerning anonymous sources in a statement by the deputy attorney general who said caution should be exercised when watching or reading news attributed to unnamed officials next than go francis and the explains why the justice department is spoken out. general rosenstein statement has raised quite a few eyebrows especially considering that as of late majority of the american press relies on nothing but anonymous sources on the den of sources two sources
5:09 am
with links to the counter intelligence community and on the sources according to anonymous washington post source while the mainstream media seems to love them the 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 at 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 a slick 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
5:10 am
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. 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 komi 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 dick only asked for it for the
5:11 am
resources that all the resources were there but good going nyet and now c.n.n. is raising eyebrows with their exact quote being what as the reaction to mr rosen stein's anonymous sources 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 only that were containing information that 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 those next after all leaking classified information to the media is
5:12 am
a criminal offense in united states as elsewhere but no investigation of that seems to have taken place so far those leaks but certainly many of the leaks are more political in nature and the fact is most intelligence officers who were intelligent officers swear an oath of loyalty to the constitution they are not the patriot who got them the job but at the top of all these organizations there is a loophole well 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. the u.n. human rights watch dogs a serious a concern of what they say is a mounting civilian death toll from u.s. led airstrikes against islamic state and the reported numbers of those admitted by washington.
5:13 am
u.n. says hundreds of civilians have reportedly been killed in recent strikes in the embattled syrian city of rocket held hub is under siege by u.s. but local forces right now with support of western warplanes and across the border in iraq civilian deaths are also reportedly rising in the islamic state stronghold of mosul we've been under a similar siege for months the u.s. led coalition has also been accused of using chemical weapons near civilians in both cities and what could potentially amount to war crimes as khaled maupin the pool's. of 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 rocka are recently walked the streets of east and west mosul i saw for myself that markets and their businesses are reopening so things are moving
5:14 am
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 behaved at the ground for the events in iraq has resulted not only 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 to displace 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 and strikes in the area that somewhere between fifty and eighty civilians may have been killed. airplanes hit our streets and we went to rescue people under the rubble we risk you do we could see and then we left
5:15 am
the area on top of that the u.s. led coalition is being accused of using white phosphorous. 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 that 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 and iraq previous occasions but since a dental effects can 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
5:16 am
u.s. coalition we have already shifted from attrition. from one position to another iraq syria to annihilation tactics to billion casualties are 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 full of news twenty four seven. for me for now but with more than forty five minutes but stay with us if you can because coming up monday seconds away russia is said to host its first major international football told a. call or more in some places but taken in the a pretty much atmosphere would catch up with them right after the break. chorus of the younger generation is that if they walk the trending go against the
5:17 am
status quo it's all in danger their prospects in life and so many of them sell out basically and get jobs in the city or on wall street and they don't continue in their use false exuberance for many enough years to make it a permanent solution a permanent movement but now not to belabor the point but now with things like crypto currency this generation can bypass the entire financial infrastructure and create their own financial realities. i don't see clear out of crafts throughout the do that anyway i only see that. figure is good for today. you have. for one brief period of time and you know divorce immediately i feel that. moment to be released and it is very difficult to predict how things will be called.
5:18 am
exactly mid day eighteen year mosco hi good so the biggest football event of the some of the set to kick off in russia later is a day big day today across live to all feel day to the world the only neil harvey along with the one the only wood winning sports. son cullimore that up there is simply his move next to enough weeks guys over to you. it's sunny it is beautiful it doesn't get more picturesque than this we are in st petersburg where in just under four hours time we will witness the opening ceremony of this year's confederations cup football talk all things footy over the next
5:19 am
weeks alongside me stanley called it when you got a very big build up that the award winning stanley called first of all i just want to say they talked about the need for climate controlled stadiums perhaps. maybe they need them here in st petersburg talk about the salute the sensational today we've been keeping our eye out on the square behind us with these red shirts on for breakfast this morning and several mexican fans. so the voice starting to happen now in. a beautiful day for the tournament to start all about isn't it excitement building up to the games what do you think about the safety much russia new zealand according to the fee for rankings it's the two week. you know things that mean nothing to me tell that to cameroon with a b. argentina tell it to iceland they defeated england means nothing but i do think we'll see an open game or nervy different. don't lose that's the mantra in any
5:20 am
tournament around the world slightly different today because the russian team is a fairly new team it's a young vibrant. and i have to get the nation on side they have to get them free in the middle for football again after a disappointing european championship tournament for new zealand slightly different they're trying to break out of the shadow of rugby union the most popular sports in new zealand so the all whites announcer you heard soon they'll be looking to create a major upset on wall personally i think we'll see both teams going for it that's my prediction we talk about the pressure on these teams for today's opening match i think there was visible pressure on the killie the cabbage. i don't want to ruin this video because it takes a long time to get up to the match fitness theory achilles he's the official animal oracle for the years for. confederations cup is supposed to predict the outcome of the games i told him the new paul the octopus and he's got a job which i think was the smart move given today's performance he works at the famous servitude museum just alongside us so what do you think about they see
5:21 am
basically me under his way around didn't want to make a decision a first is a little bit tentative it was a game of two halves all of the krishna is there eventually he went to operate on a little sniff around any problem for russia the home side to get a win didn't eat the food that showed that he was incorruptible was going to take the brunt of the food but but chose russia. let's cross. to do is close to the first going from we all because shoes so the strategy of formal preparation for i was left before kickoff tell us what's happening. well guys i'm still listening and laughing so what you were saying before about the cast which is kind of ironic really is that kathy is not but those things that's got to be allowed in the state if you look at the list of prohibited items but typical for live broadcasting as you can hear behind me the p.a. system is now cranking up it's now a time of sound and vision they're testing all the p.a.
5:22 am
systems inside close and within the compound itself a little the entertainment is for people who've gone through all the turnstiles they can stand and have a drink while they're waiting for the match to kick off so it's effectively all the testing is underway after what was literally a military operation earlier you had the volunteers arriving they had the antiterrorism police then you had the police cadets come and then after that you had what were the kind of off duty army cadets you were the volunteers and the guys came in in their vests and everything else it was a bit like top gun so some of the local girls i was so chatting to down there so this is certainly going to be a fantastic tournament so they were all very happy but that's all raisky finished now they've got everybody into the stadium as we can see behind me to is a big stadium sixty eight thousand seats and speak capacity stadium so effectively it's now i say the testing time is over they've got everything in place that the people. in place they've got the checks that got the security issue said the opening ceremonies looking about four thirty local time six o'clock kicked off so it's kind of like basically now everything's in order it's time for the fans to
5:23 am
arrive. because when the funds do come you know many of them will be international the good chance they don't speak the language so we will bring i think when you're in a strange country just how user friendly is everything will they get to this day i'm useless without a map myself or they get to the stadium easily. yeah they should you know we know plenty of signs everywhere in the bilingual as well i mean the bilingual in the fact that buried a relation and also as russian as well looking through i'm going to see the journey myself a bit later coming back into the center and going through the metro to see it that way we've come the roadways through and that's pretty straightforward i mean that's just taxes from the center and as we've said before it's a pretty integrated system whereby you can get the metro on the trains coming into the city so so far so good and there are so many volunteers there effectively from all the big cities coming in as well as what are you getting speeds south based on that they're very visible and there are cantelupe you would have so far i haven't heard anybody saying they couldn't understand why they couldn't find their way here so far so good. ok great to hear from you again basically because if they can speak
5:24 am
to you again a little later about the sandwich approach the pressure on the teams also i would say a lot of pressure on the organizers lot of scrutiny and then we have the chance earlier to speak to the rock and he's the c.e.o. of russia's will cut twenty eight hundred organizing committee and he spoke to us about security measures that are in place and also about that intense media scrutiny. to go to expect any challenges wherever it's always the preparation for the opening match is always harder than the match itself and the although we tore them up one story was we launched this everything will go supposed up sure all the security measures are in place of rio all the interested law enforcement agencies have been involved in the preparation of this. close cooperation with pay for so we're certain that we have a very robust security concept very important because that the media microscope is on russia would be giving out quite harsh punishments for anybody found guilty of
5:25 am
any offenses i would think we have all the property legislation in place it's recently. was made a little more stringent we now have. the battle list we can ban certain people from attending matches even if there is a notional life ban which was introduced in torrid legislation. we also have very good cooperation with the foreign law enforcement there's an exchange of blacklists so we will know who's coming and who's not allowed to come so all the measures are in place. really interesting news from iraq and that against new zealand will take place in the newly built some pages big stadium with a small design overlooking the baltic sea coastline which you can look me on the sings at the.
5:26 am
face and say first impressions exceptional absolutely beautiful stadium it reminds me of when this smaller version of i'm going to see this is sixty sixty well i really want to get fashionable as distinct sides to take a look absolutely. twenty first century technology preach technology come down the beach fly the way through you could they still you can take you back i know producer the peach must carry on the some of the crowd and these i guess is pretty much standard now which is the chairs for the players on the day stuff. all right well you. know let's look at the six hundred eighty six luke sure thing. normally the layout in the great dressing rooms i mean everybody does a lot. now what you call this tactic food well yeah maybe it would probably be on
5:27 am
a in the corner here. it would just be annoying to have to see the open closing to see you always think only more dangerous for it were possible to be defeated pool of a horrible sick. there's about to do to be very best. you know one of my social media frenzy self you know a job just for you i will own. she. now you may be big on social media but i can pull a few strings as well check this out. look you know what it's. for get selfies or find somebody that really will be having lots of photos to look over our shoulder here you know there's more than one big event today isn't
5:28 am
a look at what a great place to seal the big day and the wonderful thing about this match up they both end up winning. we will be back with more stay with us for auntie's confederation cup coverage now but a place to be facing. i am as kaiser this is the kaiser important member dr sulu mr sulu from star trek george takis kind of happy dance you know ever seen. mr sulu savita i got my own up in this is bitcoin heading to three thousand and. three thousand i can feel it i can feel it on his way to five thousand. but there's other stuff to talk about.
