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 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 says everything that's wrong about our society this is one of the richest countries in the wilds one of the richest places in the well this bar and. london as well and this is an area where the poor people live and their lives essentially have been sold up the river based on this crazy ideology of deregulation it'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
3:05 am
the many catastrophic failings that 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 how to how to provide the appropriate funding for those priorities not the other way around. trees are made being blamed for more than just a response to the deadly inferno since the u.k. election earlier this month in which your party unexpectedly failed to win a majority in parliament the premise is been accused of stealing your opponent's agendas as well as seeking a controversial deal with democratic unionist party the day you pay in order. no one and no community is left behind. no one and no community is left to go body and no community should ever be left behind.
3:06 am
some people say the e.u. does not make a small secure because it does not allow us to control. but that is not true we want our borders back we want our country back a new role for ourselves in the world as a strong country with control over our borders. look at the facts the potential risks to. the colony if we were to leave the european union the framework of the single market i would say is a beginning but you must be optimistic about.

what has been an absolute disaster the fall of the ruling conservative party they ran a dreadful campaign they didn't offer anything attractive to people they wanted to come across and vote for them and they announce policies that was very upsetting to their core support and they now have a goal of a working majority they're being obliged to form a relationship with a mind a policy in order to carry through their program and frankly the government looks rather unstable. a local official in afghanistan told r.t. that u.s. forces killed three civilians on monday including two children. that illegitimate view is truth open floor as a result they killed a father and his two sons the shooting reportedly happened after a u.s. military vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb pentagon officials have still not confirmed reports of civilian
3:08 am
deaths but in an earlier statements the u.s. mission in afghanistan said the troops opened fire in self-defense all crew went to speak to witnesses and the victim's relatives. they're too young yet to fully understand what has happened or grasp the depth of their loss all they know is that their world has been shattered and wrenched upside down. this is my younger brother for a dollar he was killed by u.s. troops this is my brother surefire rules who killed and this is my father he was killed as well they haven't yet learned to read or write but life has taught them early to hate you or. i want the government to avenge my father and kill his killers when my father and my brothers were killed everyone was sad at

3:10 am
a dozen youngsters will be hard but for now it's anger that fuels them they killed them in a horrific way. we want to bring them to court so why should american troops be allowed to kill people in this cruel way the u.s. stresses it takes every civilian life seriously and promises to investigate every casualty of these investigations often end with only apologies and for this family that's not enough they want americans out i don't want them here because they kill civilians we're tired of american soldiers there are explosions and they're killing the americans not helping us they're killing us we don't need them in afghanistan that has a reputation that coalition has built over more than a decade sixteen years of war and bloodshed atrocities and
3:11 am
excuses and there's no end in sight it's no secret that life would have gotten a start is harsh but for zero goals surviving children the next few years ago and to be tough indeed that though isn't where the trouble ends ten years down the line when they've grown up would you think they going to support the afghan government and the people who murdered their father or the taliban and their promise of vengeance more i guess the of. the shooting in the u.s. city of alexandria on wednesday is rigged night to the rhetoric of a political divide in the united states government opened fire at a republican baseball training session. injuring five people it was a sustained attack over ten minutes fired over fifty rounds when automatic weapon it took up position outside a baseball ground and then moved forward exchanging fire with approaching police
3:12 am
officers the assailant was fatally injured in the shoot and the only congressman injured in the attack was the top u.s. republican steve he's a majority whip in the house of representatives his condition is improving can tell you from critical to serious meantime as for the attacker would u.s. law enforcement officials have named him as james holmes holds kinston is a sixty six year old from the u.s. state of illinois and worked as a home inspector he's called the media's attention with a strong anti republican social media presence his facebook page was also filled with support for former presidential candidate bernie sanders as you can see there back in march his posts looked to incite violence against president trump and in another he said the president should be in prison for treason we're following up on this story jacki vogel looks at other extreme examples of political division divided they were. i would say were more open minded were kind of more moderate
3:13 am
well educated people a lot of educated people that are sensible. they were kind of very good weren't they i'm not to judge what other people's education and stuff is coming of them are not working at mcdonald's or somewhere even though they have a five year six year degree it's not surprising that countries. since one in the u.s. presidential election last november trump has been calling for the nation to start to start its differences and to unify i say it is time for us to come together as one united people we may have our differences we are strongest when we are unified but it seems that divides are already too deep on wednesday a republican hating bernie sanders loving gunmen went on a shooting spree aiming according to one witness that killing as many republicans as possible at a g.o.p. base while outing and this is not just come out of the blue this tension has been brewing for quite
3:14 am
a while. immediately after the election vicious protests broke out nationwide with america being split into two camps angry liberals eager to denounce the trump was not their president came face to face with trump supporters ready to defend their choice and america hasn't been given the slightest chance to unite with hate becoming the new norm promoted on all levels. what if the incoming president was immediate successors were wiped out on day one. i have thought and also a lot about blowing up the white house. soon afterwards rest to look just like president truong as he's associated on stage.
3:15 am
so with instigating like this it's no wonder that tempers have been firing up over the top again and again. those who used to be peaceful leftists morphed into the radical left not shying away from using violence just like their political opponents across the spectrum but the situation has gotten so tense that people even began watkins' to protest violence led to violence pitting republicans against democrats americans against americans leaving the question of what else could happen and is there any way of fixing this divide. our t. washington d.c. . spits about you united we stand divided people what about the two that got him. to our respect to the people who got to. see the democrats.
3:16 am
one of the reasons they won the election very very divided nation. i'm stan collymore and i'm neal hoping. we're going to be your hopes for the treat thousand and seventy confederations cup right here in russia we're going to be visiting the host cities or sochi. moscow can be great full of politics i think pretty much every topic the fans need to know about head of the match so
3:17 am
don't forget to join us on field it's going to be full and let me know. i don't seek out a cup strap it is it anyway i always see. things good for today or tomorrow. you have a team of four with brief period of time and then you know divorce immediately i think that's. bad historical moment in the middle east and it is very difficult to predict how things will be called. and the russian military says its latest airstrikes have killed two high ranking islamic state commanders in syria meantime moscow's in the process of trying to verify reports too that its bombs also struck down the elusive leader of ice
3:18 am
a lab. during a strike at the end of may is big news in the way this russia's defense ministry is released these images showing an ice will command center in the terror group stronghold of raka moscow says it bombed that site after confirming that i said leaders had gathered there for a meeting the strike said to have killed up to thirty commanders as well as some three hundred militants officials though have urged caution until the reports can be verified. of course i heard reports on the elimination of al baghdadi but i still have no one hundred percent confirmation of this. u.s. officials have so far been able to confirm the reports of baghdad baghdad his death either the extremist leader hasn't been heard of since november last year when he released an ordeal recording he's been the leader of ice and since twenty ten and previously been pronounced dead on several occasions we are several experts for their take on the reports now of his demise it depends also not only on what that
3:19 am
is only the leader with the baghdadi was eliminated but how many of the strategic brains were with him because he was not alone in this talking about about twenty or thirty leaders how many of them sort of wired who's left but in general we'll have more on blow on isis and what they can and cannot do in the near future actually the timing of the strike against the. leader in iraq it's very important this will. help crumbling the headquarters and the communication system and the connection between the leadership and the fighters in iraq are just is for sure if he is there but on the long term liberal this would not eliminate defeat i mean our terrorism in in syria and also in india entire area because this is a fight of ideas this is
3:20 am
a fight of ideology has. now changed term for the small of the summer bestival of football kicked off in the russian lovely russian cities and petersburg yesterday but the hosts are beating new zealand in the opening match at least of the twenty seventeen confederations cup with all the game plus all the days of the tournament let's catch up with the guys out there. lots to be cheerful about here in the venice of the north there was a toodle victory for russia over new zealand in the opening match of the shoes confederations cup alongside me a former super star at liverpool must a villa strike a family call him or stan let's start though with the action from much day one
3:21 am
russia to new zealand no let's get the goal stand talk goes through a series of four is a very solid performance tribe or the russian national team there's a lot of pressure on them coming into the game which is the second goal and quite simple topping as it turned out you have to get yourself in the box to get that little bit look so when the ball is working from the watson saw it. they needed a hole they needed to believe they had to die but boy fantastic support fifty thousand followers on the stage it was a dozen watching at home from lot of people i would imagine. the st petersburg central area in the stadium of course on in other areas absolutely partridge was it very simply to speak from some we were sure there was you can imagine the noise here is really quite something ninety's it lit the blue touch paper i think it's also like to be a cake series well there's plenty of beer flying 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
3:22 am
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 because you we've been keeping a marvelous country it's amazing what you have. happening there. and i'm very much excited. as you can tell by sort of the yeah the cheering fans there and i think you were just lucky enough to miss some of the fans will keep it as well sadly it's fine voice as well so when you said you happy environment for the russia for the fans is in the first match of the confederations cup you can hear them so lots of happy people in the family zone but some fans who came here for the confederations cup they were warned by the media in the home counties about what they might come across during the competition russia doesn't deserve to host any major football tolerance because it has some problems with religion islam and racism following
3:23 am
that logic through that it was racially abused a very high profile incident in italy recently there for italy any major tournament it's also happened in england player korean which was racially based so being good and itself is out of the equation and it doesn't stop there are numerous small countries where do you draw the line where you draw the line in a common sense it's an absolute absurdity said to suggest that russia doesn't deserve to host the world cup or the confederation is called on the block of forty fifty maybe a hundred hooligans if that was the case in one of our you are going to be six which passed off without troubles only seven or eight years after the very dark days of english football hooliganism when did football related violence first become a problem. 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 good with the second word this could lead to social
3:24 am
unrest of the. cases of football hooliganism from the modern game fast forward to the eighty's that's when the so-called rough started causing trouble at football matches talking rival fans and players as well as referees but the heyday of who did this in the actual term came about a century later starting from the sixty's clashes between rival supporters. for both of them to plug a nice fights between large gangs of hard cold found so-called fun in the first five years of the decade with 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 grew to its tragic peak at the european cup final in one thousand nine hundred five when the liverpool fans attacked their italian rivals causing a rule in the stadium to collapse killing thirty nine people after the disaster in
3:25 am
this clubs were banned from europe in income taxes the government wants to clamp down. by the one thousand nine hundred local 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 with iraq iran and playing. in the coming years many key international tournaments where mom was quite badly behaved in the. now days 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. and the new zealand herald for example published an article today accusing russian
3:26 am
fans of racism saying they could not be trusted all the russian holy games on. ceased russian people are absolutely fantastic a shell found us a bit. dirty actually it is very quiet it is no trouble that we've seen on the town center. pockets where i didn't even get to the stuff so yeah no good the only chance to show it these. you have to see and double see when foreigners come they go back home and they tell their friends that it's not sold that it's really different so that's why i'm happy that we have these tournaments here that we can show we. so i think that's the problem that we can be deep through the use of some police hard because we will always be fighting but against these things from a ship you know but we have a lot of free suits so we just need to show we do want to talk about the blind to things all the nicer things now we talked about predictions today pulis look at. them separate let's look at the. first because boy was this
