no voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . the presumed number of deaths from the west london tower block fire now reaches fifty eight as protests escalate calling for the prime minister to resign. an afghan official says u.s. forces are behind the shooting of three civilians including two children in the country this week we hear exclusively coming up from the victim's family and we get reaction from eyewitnesses. plus a gunman with extreme anti republican views goes on a shooting rampage in the u.s. with speculation the tense political situation right now in america could have been his main motive.

one pm here in moscow this sunday hi i'm kevin o. and welcome to our weekly the thirty minute round up of the big stories of the last seven days they were not international and first wednesday's tower block inferno in west london is now presumed to have killed fifty eight but police still expect that number to rise as the slow task of finding and trying to identify bodies continues the fire broke out early on wednesday morning and swiftly engulfed the twenty four story high residential block.

on the law. the tragedy and the government's response to it sparked fury amongst the british public protesters in the capital of been calling for the u.k. prime minister to step down and. those responsible for the fire to be held accountable to his amaze admitted that the way the tragedy is being treated isn't good enough this time downing street is expected to appoint a judge now to lead a public inquiry into the grenfell tao disaster truism i also ordered the safety checks on all similar blocks to. next has been following the unrest in london since over the course of this demonstration this mosque this march we managed to speak to some very very angry people how did i get the name bedroom that night when there are people who have to sleep on the floor and didn't. even know everything and everything people. have been lied to. for centuries decades or so 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've had enough the broncos are on one side of the christians the people of boston you've got people killed as a result of negatives someone should be able to count to this corporation to go through we have a government that's come out of a prime minister that came to the scene of the crime and you have the decency to meet resident ways the elements in swayze ways the papal ways everyone lived a nice flat ways all the tendency is great ways that the nice don't occupy is that need to know when i sat the anger of the protesters by violence is hard to say that the official response from being completely inadequate and many of the people who are angry about the founding member which was the full building of the gas system was put in the room in the stairwell so when those caught 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 better 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 protesters 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 be walking by it in their cars beeping it 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 world one of the richest places in the world this bar in london as well and this is an area where the poor people live and their lives essentially have been sold 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 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 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. through the maze being blamed for more than just a response to the deadly inferno since the u.k. election earlier this month in which a party unexpectedly failed to win a majority in parliament the prime minister's been accused of stealing your opponent's agendas too as well as seeking a controversial deal with northern ireland's deeply conservative d p party. no one and no community is left behind. no one and no community is left but no body and no community should ever be left behind.

some people say the e.u. does not make a small secure because it does not allow us to control the border. but that is not true we want our voters back we want our country a new role for ourselves in the world as a strong country which controlled it for our borders. look at the facts the potential risks to jobs. 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 i am proposing cannot mean membership of the single market.

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 gulf a working majority that being obliged to form a relationship with the mind of policy in order to carry through their program and frankly the government looks rather unstable. elsewhere in the week just gone a local official in afghanistan told pti that u.s. forces killed three civilians including two children on monday. little religion a bit who is truth open flying 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 those civilian deaths but in an earlier statement the u.s. mission in afghanistan said the troops opened fire in self-defense in the wake of crew went to speak with witnesses and the victims' relatives was there. 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 sure of fact 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 is nothing. i want the government to avenge my

father and kill his killers when my father and my brothers were killed everyone was sat at home my mother cries every day. it all began when a u.s. military patrol hit a roadside bomb by all appearances they panicked when the explosion happened i was near my uncle and cousins american soldiers opened fire and a bullet flew by my face i ran and hid and came out only a few hours later my uncle and cousins were dead so i went to the village to tell everyone these version is backed in the police report we were shown it says zero ghoul and his sons were at the shop two hundred meters from the scene they were taken for terrorists and torn apart by gunfire it was terrible what the americans did to them i couldn't even recognize their bodies zita ghoul left behind twelve children six boys and six girls from now on their lives

will be about survival clothing and feeding 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 americans. troops be allowed to kill our 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 they're explosions and they're killing the americans not helping us they're killing us we don't need them in afghanistan that is a refutation the coalition has built over more than

a decade sixteen years of war and bloodshed atrocities and excuses and there's no end in sight it's no secret that life in afghanistan 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're going to support the afghan government and the people who murdered their father or the taliban and their promise of vengeance. in other news back at american shores a shooting in the city of alexandria in the wake in the state of virginia has reignited the united states political divide a gunman opened fire at a republican baseball training session injuring five sustained

a time went on for ten minutes or so he fired over fifty rounds in fact from an automatic weapon he took up position outside the base current baseball then move forward exchanging fire with approaching police officers the assailant was killed in a shootout the only congressman wounded in the attack was the top one top u.s. republican steve sees a major whip in the house of representatives. his condition that we can say has improved from critical to serious at least meantime u.s. law enforcement officials have named the attackers james host concerned the sixty six year old from the u.s. state of illinois probably would as a home inspector there's a twist to this he called the media's attention with his strong anti republican social media presence his facebook page was also filled with loads of poor full bernie sanders there the former presidential candidate but camacho his posts look though to incite violence against president trump and another he said the president should be imprisoned for treason willfully coals for unity in the wake of

wednesday's attack we had contrasting views on how the trump presidency as influence political discourse in the united states guns are killing people we know if this guy had a knife how many people would he have been able to kill probably none the fact of the matter is is that we need to take these runs off our streets i don't care if it's a car i'm going to kill off this young person in a park killed we need to get these guns off our streets if this was a muslim who carried this out whether it was with a knife or a paper clip or a gun the right would be calling for a trump supporters will be calling for a ban on muslims that's a fact as well so this is a politically motivated act of violence and what we saw during the campaign especially when you could go back to the chicago rally i disagree i disagree totally no listen let me hold it's not a politically motivated. ok this is this was legal and politically motivated the facts this is. listen if it's a knife or

a gun it is politically motivated that is an act of terrorism by the definition of terrorism wanting to get your way politically by using violence doesn't matter if it's with the stick i want to put away no on it and here is them or not is a political the fact that they are if it was a call a mentally ill person although everyone we have. done everything in our power to basically call for the assassination of this president here in new york shakespeare in the park which of course was a an artistic venture you've got these two big comedians you have people who are escalating left and right and what you do is you have a media who instead of stopping it or say wait a bit because let me tell you something if this was barack obama i know this the media didn't shoot anybody today and. you are going to say should anybody today words they never hit me when it didn't shoot any errors in a thing that is listen to the table when it comes to donald trump the problem is

the anti trump movement is mainstream this is the problem and they've normalized violence mr code pink do you think that the rhetoric that we have heard lately specifically calling for violence to president trump in any way could have contributed to this terrible event today maybe a small portion of it possibly but i think that there's many people who have very much but seated anger in their heart who are very angry but they don't get grab a gun it's the mentally disturbed those people that there are exact rhone too extreme where i said i had access to guys like ice letting anybody disputed that from the beginning it's about you united we stand divided people what about a company that got a good life try to respect the people who got to. see the democrats

are. one of the reasons i won the election very very divided nation.

i'm stan collymore and i'm the. 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 are sultry. moscow going to be great when talking full of course also politics i think pretty much covering every topic the fans need to know about head of the match so don't forget to join us on field it's going to be full and let me know. something happening right now massive forest fires are sweeping through central portugal and they've already claimed the lives of up to fifty seven people to eighteen we have burned to death trying to get away in a skate the area by car well some of reportedly died from smoke inhalation almost

sixty others have been injured at this point the fire broke out such a day afternoon it's quickly spread over one hundred kilometers some seventeen hundred firefighters attacking the blaze right now to try and get a handle on it the country's prime ministers already called it the biggest tragedy of human life that portugal has known in years elsewhere seven american sailors who went missing after the coup. off the coast of japan have now been sadly confirmed dead their bodies were found in the flooded compartment of the u.s. destroyer they were on the u.s.s. fitzgerald struck a much larger container ship in the early hours of saturday three servicemen including the ship's commander were injured to the cause of the collision hasn't been established but reports early reports that the merchant vessel made a sharp turn just before the incident. and more news from the week former f.b.i. director james komi received a surprising offer from putin thursday that of political asylum the russian president's invitation came joining up for our annual q.

and a session and fielded seventy questions from residents across russia trying to listen to. this is the very table where the russian president vladimir putin just spent four hours answering questions those questions from journalists but from the russian people and some of it came from the audience of russian celebrities there were no u.s. media here but still we heard questions about the accusations of moscow interfering in the u.s. elections vladimir putin said that still there has been no evidence of that that washington can present to moscow besides this is russia's got its own national interests and opinion doesn't count as meddling says then seemingly from out of nowhere came a bombshell the russian president was asked about the former f.b.i. director james cole me and then mr putin compared him to edward snowden that

was really something that caused wow in the press room. when the head of the security service recalls his conversation with the commander in chief of the truth through his house. in that case he's the head of a security service in. he will but the human rights activist defending a certain position by the way if he feels he's being persecuted over this will be ready to grant him political asylum in russia he should know that some might say that all these questions are completely pre-planned and this event is under full control but i'll tell you what all the monitors that are now off and also during the live t.v. broadcasts we saw many text messages popping up with very challenging questions for a lot of our putin on social networks there was a big discussion whether the president will get to answering these questions and at

the very end he did. take a look at these questions for instance this is let's read from this evil does this sound like a free christian. so you consider the my friends. i'm ready to talk to anyone who cares about how to make people's lives not about using difficulty and the school to point. them that's making things worse so it's not just oliver stone who gets to ask a lot of our putin questions and get direct answers from the president. and they will despite lots of attention being given to potential asylum in russia former u.s. congressman ron paul said it was nothing more than a little joke from vladimir putin and the day. probably going to be subjective but it's very interesting and entertaining i sort of think it gives a hint into

a little bit of. who is character and personality as i'm only about you know a good sense of humor. i you know. it a little you thinking i don't think we're on the verge of that happening but i think it's interesting that that the subject was brought up bad and putin had a pretty good answer big weekend for football fans the summons festival of football kicked off in the russian city of subpoenas bug saturday with a host beating new zealand in the opening much of the twenty seventeen confederations cup with all the game plus the latest in the told him and his coach over the guns of the. lots to be cheerful about here in the venice of the north that was

a suitable victory for russia rover new zealand match of the chinese confederations cup alongside me a former superstar at liverpool must villa strike a stanley column or stand there start though with the action from match day one russia to new zealand no let's get the guns stand tall because there were zero zero zero four is a very solid performance tried by the russian national team there's a lot of pressure on them coming into the game this is the second goal and quite simple topping as it turned out but you have to get yourself in the box to get that little bit of luck so when the ball is weakly from the whites and soit they needed a hole they needed to believe they had to die but boy fantastic support fifty thousand florins on the stage was a desert and watching ok we also have a great day really into the speaking to the top players and we grabbed 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 with having you see the steve that 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 yet and i'm all for lot of happy people i would imagine here in the st petersburg central area in the stadium of course and in other areas absolutely can't partridge was it very simply to speak funds and we were sure that rather than talking to you you ought to be able to speak to them she's next. be found as you can imagine the noise here is really quite something not only is it lit the blue touch paper i think it's also lit the being serious 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 environments we speak to some of the fans and they were anticipating a very good sort of means as well will we came to russia happy that you would say

marvelous country it's amazing what you have here. and many have been there. and i am very much excited. to see our movie 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 sadly it's fine voice as well so it's certainly a happy environment for the russian for the fans is in the first match of the confederations cup you can hear them so lots of happy people in the found 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 the new zealand herald for example published an article today accusing russian fans of racism saying they could not be trusted quite simply all travel around europe and around the world having covered two world cup tournament covered several european
