6:01 pm
prime minister has admitted the government's response to wednesday's deadly fire was not good enough to reason may make that apology is rallied in central london calling for her resignation. reports. we're right outside downing street where if you can see hundreds of people have gathered to protest against a recently government this was originally intended to be a protest pressing issues following the election lots of people have been saying they're unhappy with the snap election the two recent make calls on the following coalition that was formed with the key thing and this was the original reason but since the tragedy with the ground cell tower where as we know force thirty people confirmed dead more expected to be announced and really hundreds left homeless following what's rubble there already people are saying this is becoming the final straw with the unhappiness of following the decisions that this government has been
6:02 pm
making because a lot of them who have been gathered here today are saying that what happened with rumsfeld was some of it had to deal with the stare any measures that had been carried out for years now by the conservative parties people can actually see a sarah see politics killed the lack of cat that was taken over those people in the tower is disgusting and that is different to being a massive turning point is just everything is wrong and it's sorry when this country comes to give them one thing it has highlighted that and it's cool to focus to it and saying you know actually this is the reality of austerity i think people are anyway. and i think we'll see will raise the question because basically everyone should concentrate stickney to feel safe in the house saying whether or not they have a lot of money certainly lots of calls for answers they're saying they want to know the real numbers of how many people have died there seek the death toll is really
6:03 pm
much larger and are not coming up enough there are lots of concerns about whether or not this could have been prevented considering some of the material used in the reconstruction works that were carried out and what happened with. many here see as something. that's just a symbol of the huge parity that exists here in the u.k. and in london between the wealthier and those who are a little less well off and the reporting of fifty eight people are dead following the grand fell tower blaze and police say that figure could rise further to as the search continues meanwhile people have been gathering at the site to offer their support and among the volunteers was world champion boxer i mean. when you come here i have a foundation most of all want to call me and show my support by doing charity work resume when you for these people and also hear from the police what the what the situation now the fire happened and everything else and what a situation like at the moment i really believe we can we can. now you know that if
6:04 pm
you read to me you did not. yawn deserve. a look i want to we are going to treat everyone with. what can she do i think she's just got to start acting as a actually you know coming out and talking to people and engaging with people in a human way as opposed to acting like you're always at a press briefing every time there's a long string of things and i think it's just been more and more frustration from even from myself as a british citizen of someone that is supposed to be this strong and stable leader and you show nothing but the opposite and i think is really getting to a boiling point however the prime minister has been visiting survivors in hospital and she has also allocated five million pounds to help those affected and demanded a full inquiry into the tragedy. and other news officials in afghanistan say seven american troops have been wounded in an attack by
6:05 pm
a rogue afghan soldier at a base in the north of the country you say that was shot dead u.s. is dismissive of the reports that american soldiers being killed the taliban says it was responsible although that claim has been disputed is what we heard from a journalist in kabul early. an afghan soldier used a rocket propelled grenade during a military exercise on the way to the shooting range or the shooting range and according to this officer several u.s. soldiers were wounded this comes not long after an afghan commander killed at least three u.s. soldiers in the eastern province of mangere are the base where the incident today took place is where at least ten thousand attackers killed more than one hundred forty army soldiers in april in what was a massive security breach you have to remember the taliban are expanding their area
6:06 pm
of recruitment from where the afghan police and army recruits so the risk of afghan soldiers or new recruits being turned into taliban infiltrators is really high well the attack came as the country's defense minister welcomed a decision by the u.s. to deploy four fison more troops to afghanistan a move though many see as unlikely to improve the situation there. these four thousand troops they cannot defeat the taliban in afghanistan they just won the fighting to continue so they can achieve their goals with more american troops in afghanistan people will get more frustrated and insecurity will increase i think i would agree with many afghans in this what afghans are really asking is two things one is push for peace process and second pressurising the pakistani taliban sanctuaries are actually terror because troops the military solution is no is not
6:07 pm
a solution for the afghan problem and i think the americans must have realized as well because you see there are similar comments coming from the american officials particularly those from india on policy but you know it's contradicting what they're doing and what they're saying at one hand they believe that it has to be peace process peace settlement that can. work but in the other hand they are sending additional troops. now the stay the confederations cup has come to an end in the same winning start see the host russia who beat new zealand in simply with more on that game plus all the latest from the tournament is neil harvey and stan calling.
6:08 pm
federations go may just be to draw to a close here in st petersburg russia after they secured a two no victory over new zealand in we have a game alongside me stan collymore stan we're going to take our viewers through the goals of it was a very good performance overall from from russia lots of pressure on them the first game they were very poor in the european championships of course so they needed a good result to get the tournament underway paulo's there is he said with the finish very easy ball comes in from the rights and so it was a central striker always in attack and we just need to get in the box to make sure that you can finish off so very good room after say feel a little bit sorry for the new zealand goalkeeper because he was very good throughout the game but just that little ding called the goalkeeper sees the ball in the back of the net and the hosts were open running. ok we also got a great day really into speaking to the top players and we grabbed
6:09 pm
a few moments with the guys themselves from the russian team after their victory here's what they had to say it was huge first of all we play for our fans and i think today we made them happy i think it was a good game is the most significant thing is that we won everything else is less important. thing you should do you steve we learn we didn't spoil this great day for our fans that's important for me there was a lot of pressure on us of course with the hosts we played for the first time in front of our president and they go along to hopefully bigger and better things if you're a supporter now kate partridge was simply to find song imagine she met quite a few happy families you can imagine the noise here is really quite something ninety's elite the blue touch paper i think it's also like the beer keg series well there's plenty of beer fly. when it is off to rule the city of culture and just before we have kick off in this very very merry and happy of environments we speak to some of the fans and they were anticipating a very good sort of and as well will we came to russia happy that you we've been
6:10 pm
keeping a marvelous country it's amazing what you have here and your history is full if we see details that there are still their world so we wanted to know your country and panel food and many have been there at this time and i am very much excited. to see our. you can tell by seville the year the cheering fans there and i think you were just lucky enough to miss some of the fans will keep out as well or if the city in fine voice as well so it's certainly a happy environment for the russian for the fight fans is in the first match of the confederations cup you can hear them but you know what those funds are very happy but if they've been listening to some of the western media they might not be even turn to people watch the game some fans who came here were warned by the media back in the home countries about what they might come across during the competition the new zealand herald for example published an article that accused russian fans of
6:11 pm
racism and said that they could not be trusted if a tranquil correspondent met up with some new zealand supporters right here in st petersburg and he asked them about what were their experiences of the place so far has spoken to a number of new zealand fans outside the stadium you come up to them you ask them about the only gives you ask them about the problems then they look back at you and they're powerful all these people have told me that they're having an amazing time in st petersburg we haven't experienced any problems and definitely they wouldn't believe and they disagree with the stuff that was written in the household of all the russian hooligans on an overnighter if you want to die. this russian playboy absolutely fantastic he will be for arbor a week now and the russian people have extended their hospitality to wash the. car and i'm. a shell found somebody her body actually it is very quiet it is no trouble that we've seen in this town center. pockets and yet it was.
6:12 pm
the stuff so you know one of the great benefits of the car federations cup will be the memories that the fans will bring back home but there are no british teams taking part in this tournament so there won't be many people coming back to the cape tell the brits how people in this country really do get offended when u.k. media are saying that football culture in russia is only about violence yes of course there are some problems still but issues exist in any country in fact here's a little history lesson for you in football is when did football related violence first become a problem we don't know for sure but it can be traced way back to fourteenth century. back then it wasn't so much the beautiful game as a rowdy mass brule between rival villages kicking a pig's bladder across town kid with the second word this could lead to social
6:13 pm
unrest the cases of football hooliganism in the modern game fast forward to the eighty's that's when the so-called roughs started causing trouble at football matches talking rival fans and players as well as referees but the heyday of football hooliganism and the actual term came about a century later starting from the sixty's clashes between rival supporters of both into blue denies fights between large gangs of hardcore fans the so-called phone in the first five years of the decade is twice as 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 at least it's a tragic peek at the european cup final in one thousand nine hundred five when the liverpool fans attacked. time in right every single rule in the stadium to collapse killing thirty nine people after the disaster english clubs were banned from all european income taxes
6:14 pm
a government plan to look at this by the one nine hundred ninety s. football related violence in the u.k. gradually began to wane but the reputation. when england failed to qualify for the one nine hundred ninety four usa world cup committee chief was delighted with the no england for. it with three countries in the world whose presence would have created logistical problems so we're very pleased they will be coming that's the route iran and. in the coming years many key international tournament swimmers quite badly behaved in the. nowadays football hooliganism is of course not only in english but the international disease one that thankfully isn't as prevalent as it used to be. ok and stan i want to use a word now that i enjoyed i know you you appreciate these meanings of all context so let's just say we know it's
6:15 pm
a small number of hooligans that are out there let's just say it's a few doesn't say it but probably got forty five thousand capacity stadium for example it takes about tax stadium that's less that's what nor point one percent of the people in there found accused of being involved in trouble that's not even taking into account how many owners are. in russia basically saying an entire nation blamed for the actions of a tiny number of people and from a that is the problem with the contador support of trouble and supported as a farm and as a broadcaster and i've been looking at off to where the three lions and england for their reputation preceded them and still continues to do and i think what's happened is a lot of the anger a lot of the fear of the operating room we saw violence in marseilles for example on. as their last year is that spring transposed into a whole nation is put a lot of fear mongering a sort before the european championships back in two thousand and twelve in ukraine there was a documentary that say do not go to ukraine if you're english if you're i should if
6:16 pm
you're black so i went there was a broadcast with a great deal of trepidation what did i find nothing but calling this government supporters mingling a muffler means the biggest and the saddest thing about all these torments is that people want to get together and have a paltry every four years it's a world cup and a european championship. thanks santa tons which is not truthful we're going to go in to save peter's good pub sick with the local fans are going to watch will come and save again sit mates tackle biggish. sally sees a real welcome i think the real russia we asked oscillation of a home out of the hands. how big a problem like this was an eight person full russian national take over the weekend the call display a lot of snow. sounds. for the bush would
6:17 pm
be very good price this is called the world call will go out full finds asian football fans feel welcome in some places for commercial uses the law was not because of just. simply on the commercial the show when you look at the spot the. admission that you know singled out the poll said a couple of years ago that every time he played there was an issue of space race chad's comments about how considerate the strength of the horse was not just for the new families for the god of the visit but he needed this much as you have to buy these cars which you feel so used to but you talk about the mantra sort of not to be uncivil political i think he's just he thought that by using this relevant to the miss yes or no. cyclery good. we do want to talk about little belong to things as well the nice things now we
6:18 pm
talked about protections today well let's look at. the hammer teams first because boy was this a painful decision made to look at this i don't want to choose this posed to be like paul the octopus you choose one of the countries is it new zealand is it russia one of the bowls of food you think a cat would leave that much encourage one but this one did this was a reluctant hero and this is the action replayy you see the light. of the moment sinks substituting not florida they are they will sneak through the through a good many jewish deep sea snow to see going to school is he going to drop his nose into it go on achilles we're all a little bit you alone can we see it going soon yeah definitely rochelle i thought when i said we can't i think we need phone line technology just to see where there was actual contact with the for you that ok let me go now to nick of the whole a bad. is also throwing her way to close the contradictions to the confederacy everybody wants to be a star look at that but you make a decision to say to be fair like one you don't want to be in the white it's the
6:19 pm
6:20 pm
here's what people have been saying about rejected and. pull on. the only show i go out of my way to. the really packed a punch. is the john oliver of marty america's. we are apparently better than. the sea people you've never heard of love redacted the next president of the world bank so very. seriously send us an e-mail. the u.s. justice department is advised in the public to be wary of news stories that rely on anonymous sources the deputy attorney general highlighted the need for extra caution when unnamed officials to cite it without even specifying
6:21 pm
a branch of government we go from santiago takes a closer look. 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 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
6:22 pm
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
6:23 pm
resources and here is house majority leader kevin mccarthy can. firming that these allegations are nothing but faults one of the questions were. public preserve but he said it's already said it that he has no evidence that only asked for the resources that all the regions with good glowing 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 manage to have their justice department bigger branches and thiago r.t. . now u.s. led airstrikes have killed hundreds of civilians in the area surrounding rock in syria according to a un panel the islamic state stronghold is under siege by u.s. backed local forces with the support of western warplanes across the border in iraq civilian deaths are also rising in mosul which has been under
6:24 pm
a similar see for months right streets of the keys the u.s. coalition of using incendiary weapons near civilians in both cities and what could potentially amount to war crimes. reporters. 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 or recently walked the streets of east and west mosul 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 strikes we have believe that the ground for the diverse. has resulted not to only staggering loss of life but because also led to two hundred hundred sixty thousand civilians
6:25 pm
fleeing their homes and becoming going to displease 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 airplanes hit our streets and we went to rescue people under the rubble we risk you do as 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
6:26 pm
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 in iraq previously. asians but since the dental effects can can cause terrible injuries to our 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 tactics to 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
6:27 pm
is how many more people are going to die for that to happen. r.t. new york. thanks for being with us tonight up next since we're done to tonight a lighter hearted look at the news if you're watching us though in the u.k. award winning documentary maker is the guest but. finally the non-static ended up playing live now how does it live on thousand people a point. lining if he would be would it be that easy to the point that out in me. plus. the city people. didn't. vote but i thought it might have been my little bit of a wonder that i little bit of the charts at that out of money going to go back much
6:28 pm
of the way for the mob to get a grip but it. does this one does. lose. some borders of. the sea. you can be no problem. armstrong call evil but i'm neal hoping. we're going to be your hosts for the two thousand and seventy confederations cup here in russia we're going to be visiting the host cities are sochi. moscow going to be great i'm told in full pool sociopolitical i think pretty much covering every topic the fans need to know about the head of the match so don't forget to tune in to some field it's going to be
6:29 pm
full of. thank. you. all right tonight i'm talking about trump selling off the country and i know that's no surprise you're probably like yeah that's what he does some course for you also surprise when tiger claws your face. or when dennis rodman hangs out with a chubby asian dictator that because that's what they do that's a thing so let's get into it trumps very excited for his new infrastructure projects he's already bragging during speeches if speech is what we're now calling it when like for single syllable words in a road.
