news twenty four seven this is r.t. international. news center in moscow saturday afternoon for its two pm in london that's where we start this hour with the developments from london underground which is partly suspended train services on two lines which one very near to the burned out shell of grenfell tower over fears that it could collapse comes as thousands of people prepare to march for a second day demanding justice for the victims of wednesday's devastating fire and also the prime minister to resign may's resignation at least thirty people were killed in that blaze that we know of so far but seventy people are still missing it's feared the number of fatalities is only going to rise further and many believe the conservative governments are stereotyped policies are ultimately to blame for the tragedy let's go live to central london now. to see what's

happening where you are. calling getting right here in. right now we're standing out. like downing street where in fact hundreds and hundreds of people are gathering for a second day of protest now this was initially supposed to be a protest addressing teresa mayes what is seen as field election here in the u.k. where she failed to gather a majority and had to form a coalition with the g.d.p. of people who are getting together to protest that and calling for her to resign but with this latest incident where we saw just yesterday hundreds of people marching on kensington town hall to protest the way authorities have handled the situation with. the tower burning this one hundred and almost twenty five story residential area where so far fissions of confirmed thirty people dead but many locals in the public are outraged they expect this number to be much higher it has been reported in the media that it might be seventy people this is yet to be

confirmed so this march here today is expected of course to focus on that yet again because it's become such a crucial issue that's become quite symbolic of we people see officials of fields to handle situations such as dash one there have been lots of questions that people are demanding be answered we do know that they want to know the exact just told they want the investigation to move much quicker they're asking questions about security and safety in the building lots of indignation about the fact that inside the building there were instructions for people to stay inside their flocks if there were ever was a fire to break out we also know of course that ten million pounds were put into. a meeting some sort of medic. fixing to the building which was many are saying intended to cover the building with some kind of clear of up plastic to make it look better for the rich residents in the area so certainly lots and lots of indignation and people are going to be marching here to they are calling for the

government to address this much better and many here we have seen carrying signs calling for to recent me to resign so certainly lots of fury of this. latest incident with the fire has raised lots of new questions about the way officials here have been handling the living conditions for those that are much less well off so all of these issues are going to be certainly highlighted here today as people prepare to march so we'll be here following that for you and of course as he did say there were suspensions taking place on the london underground today as a sort of it would have been a hearing that the tower could potentially be collapsing so we'll be watching all of that here for you today in central london and will certainly be back in the next hour ok so a big turnout for that preplan march against the reserve mase weakened election result but also a new significance after the ground full time a disaster understand the some of the victims are now in downing street to meet to reason may so we'll let you stay across that for now though honest to say thank you

. political activist george believed that the tragedies demonstrated the extent to which the u.k.'s pull a big neglected by the government. 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 world one of the richest 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 that's worth noting 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 they would repent for that for the many concerts or for failings that 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 how to how to provide the appropriate funding for those priorities not the other way around. of the reason why has allocated five million pounds to help those who've been affected by the ground full tragedy i'm also demanded a full inquiry into what happened but as polly boyko reports the prime minister's being criticized for more than just a response to the deadly of. 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 left behind and this no body and no community should ever be left behind in fact during the call been 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. him which jeremy corbyn went from zero to hero. 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 the border. but that is not true we were the voters but we want our country back a 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 i am proposing cannot mean 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 the 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 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 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. possible the labor party stands ready to offer a strong. r t london. us justice to. and is advising the american public to treat with skepticism any news stories relying on anonymous sources the deputy attorney general in particular highlighted the need for caution when no country or branch of government is attributed to the sources they go frances santiago looks now what may

have led to that statement. 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 anonymous 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 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 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 so trump 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. 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 that only asked for relief for the resources that all the regions were there but good going nyet and now c.n.n. is raising eyebrows with their exact quote being or 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 they even managed to offer their justice department began francis and thiago r.t. . the un and human rights watch dogs are seriously concerned over what they say amounting civilian deaths from u.s. led airstrikes against islamic state and the reported numbers are much higher than those being admitted by washington.

the u.n. says hundreds of civilians have reportedly been killed in recent strikes in the embattled syrian city of raka the i still held hub is under siege by u.s. backed local forces with the support of western plains across the border in iraq civilian deaths are also reportedly rising in the islamic state strong of mosul which has been under some of the siege for months now the u.s. led coalition is also being accused of using a century weapons near civilians in both cities and what could potentially amount to war crimes and 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 the civilians are moving around the city and living their lives however u.n.

investigators paint a very different picture of rock intensification of strikes we each have believe that 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 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. they have been killed their planes hit our streets 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. 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 u.s. coalition we have already shifted from attrition. from one

position to another iraq syria to annihilate two billion cattle 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. months and years of preparation time to get down to business because football's confederations cup is getting underway in moscow the opening ceremony is getting underway right now we'll take you live to petersburg after the break. local blogs selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. for new socks credit tell you that every gossip and tabloid bias file for the record. highs and tell me you are not

about an hour and thirty seven minutes and i just can't wait for it the fans can't wait for either the confident racing call is about to start it's great. federation's cooper has been a lot of negative reporting in the media what's the mood like remstar you do in all the many issues to be concerned about into this anytime you know. that i just i don't even want to talk about it because i've seen so many smiles i haven't heard of any problems have you i guess not but certainly in the media you're right there has been some negativity mostly that is for the world cup but we do realize that the comforter ations is known as the world ursule for the big event now if we look at some of the things that were hat was happening in the british media you know some journalist it seemed they were so desperate to find something to back up this

image that they tried to portray russia the hell on earth for british fans you know sometimes it got to absurd stuff like you know there were guys wrestling for fun at the traditional cultural festival one you keep tabloid turned it into a whole again mess they call it bizarre street fights then. in kiev or wearing swastikas and k.k.k. outfits and then the sun which is another u.k. tabloid said those were russian racist fans they changed it later but still you know these instances happened and then also the b.b.c. came out with an hour long documentary the gist of it was that you know there are young people training boxing and gaging in some kind of martial arts all over the country to beat up the people who would come here tell you what i've spoken to some of the people who actually filmed in that documentary and just for you to get an

idea of how the journalists were working how they were trying to find this and twisted just take a look at a bit of what i filmed in one city and all far from moscow. some of russia's most farland fun stuff to the game be agree to troll but only on the conditions. what do you study for. people who will. obviously try to do something that is like hundred percent. well they claim that the guys actually betrayed them because what they did was coming up to fans. actually. to film something that would show the russians in some kind of way and to do. t.v. before the concentration before the world cup and ended up in

a film that's called. speaking of holiness and we've prepared a bit of history for you a video that actually shows where. and how it's developed of course we understand that it's a problem that we can find in any country but really i don't want to talk about it on this day but in the meantime. we've been there for you. when did football related violence first become a problem. but it can be traced way back to fourteenth century. back then much the beautiful game as a mass brule between rival villages kicking a pig's bladder across town to head with the second this could lead to social unrest in the. cases of football hooliganism in the modern game. in the eighty's that's when the so-called. causing trouble at football matches talking

rival fans and players is what. the hey day. of the actual term came about. from the sixty's clashes between rival supporters of both into fights between knowledge gangs of hard cool found. fun in the first five years of the decade. boyce's much violence is that the previous twenty five british hooliganism spread rapidly during the seventy's and eighty's becoming known abroad as the english disease bluetits tragic peak of the european cup final in one thousand nine hundred five when the liverpool fans attacked their italian rival causing a war in the stadium to collapse killing thirty nine people after the disaster in the clubs were banned from pool in european contests the fact is government wants to clamp down and look at it by the one nine hundred ninety football related violence in the u.k. gradually began to wane but the reputation stuck when england failed to qualify for

the one nine hundred ninety four usa world cup the committee chief was delighted that the no england fans. with three countries in the world whose presence would have created logistical problems so we're very pleased they will be coming that's iraq iran and playing. in the coming years many key international tournaments where mas quite badly behaved in the. now days football hooliganism is of course not only an english but an international disease one that thankfully isn't as prevalent as it used to be. thank you it's a disease that we want to. racially mail annoyed chatted with some senate some pretty bad crimes which all right susan we talk to you again is a passion for the guy. thanks san antonio which is not

truthful we're going to go in to say peter's good pub sick with the local fans are going to watch local and save the game simulates texas biggish. sally this is a real welcome i think a real rush said we asked awesome lection joey homophobe the plants know. how big of a hobby like this was an eight person full of russian national sake was going to get the call display close ups not. sounds. sleeveless would be very good price since come to the world call black full flags asian football fans feel welcome in some places for commercial uses lima was not because of those. who says we're live from the shows when you look at the spot but the admission that you are singled out the poll said a couple of years ago that every time he played there was an issue of five space
