it's expected to increase. for the prime minister to resign. here exclusively from the. republican shooting rampage in the united states seriously.

biggest stories of the past seven days and today. international. wednesday. is now believed to have killed fifty eight people police say that number may still rise as the slow task of combing through the gutted building finding and identifying bodies continues the fire broke out in the early hours of the morning and the entire twenty four story residential building. all. right with.

the four of them but. it will. all. feel. like an old car and a whole lot for me. while the fire and the lack of a robust government response has led to widespread public fury i can attest as in the capital of been calling for the prime minister to step down they want answers as to why change flammable and possibly illegal clouding was used on my building i chose to raise them a for her part as admitted that the handling of the disaster has not been good enough. downing street expected to appoint someone to lead the public inquiry into the ground full time of tragedy within days and the prime minister's also ordered safety checks on all similar towels but as honest as a church going to found out for many a lot more still needs to be done. we're right outside downing street where if you can see hundreds of people have gathered to protest against a recent maze government this was originally intended to be

a protest expressing the issues following the election lots of people have been saying they're unhappy with the snap election that's recent made polls only following polish and that was one of the things you need and this was the original reason but since the tragedy with the grand cell tower where as you know the eight hundred left homeless following what's the trouble there all these people are saying this is becoming the final straw for the unhappiness of following the decisions that this government has been making not only that but jeremy gordon also brought up the idea of giving it to the residents who were affected by the grant. residential properties are so badly below that area and standing empty in those neighborhoods is something that's been brought into the spotlight and has been also something largely about it can be acceptable but in london we have looked through buildings and luxury flats left empty as land banking for the future while the

homeless and the poor look for somewhere to live and this is what some of the protesters have been telling us here throughout the day if they're empty and they have been for six months why not give them to someone temporarily and i mean that really does need it it's been a land grab really foreign investors just come in force up all the flights and most of the money you can use and yet we have homelessness which has gone up by fifty percent in the couple so you know there's an obvious inequality there we need to start thinking about the people that actually live here not the people that are buying houses you know for millions of pounds and then leaving them empty for six seven months what happened when else was buying many here and see it as something that's just a symbol of the huge disparity that exists here in the u.k. and in london between the wealthier and those who are a little less well off i think what can she do i think she's just got to start acting as a as an actually the you know coming out and talking to people and engaging with people in a human why as opposed to acting like you're always at the press press briefing

every time on top of that you can't help but think that will stare at you in this constant endless cutting of things that may not seem relevant or not point in time but actually have a great ramifications of come back to bite them 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 she show nothing but the opposite and i think is really getting to a boiling point in. a local official in afghanistan has told r.t. that u.s. forces killed three civilians including two children on monday. it illegitimate who 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 the reports of those civilian deaths. and what a statement from the u.s. mission in afghanistan did say however that the troops had opened fire in self defense my guest here has been speaking to witnesses and the victims' 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 us 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 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. 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 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 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 would have gotten he's harsh but 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 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 more of. a shooting in the u.s. state of virginia on wednesday's lead to questions over the state of american democracy and the country's toxic political atmosphere the incident took place when a guy. a man opened fire at a republican baseball training session injuring four people including a top party member the attacker fired more than fifty rounds from an automatic weapon he took a position outside the baseball ground and then moved forward exchanging fire with the approaching police officers the assailant was killed in that shootout. with congressman wounded in that attack was c.d.o. u.s.

republican steve scully's he's a majority whip in the house of representatives his condition as things stand at the moment has improved from being critically injured to now seriously injured that's how doctors describe it right now as for the attacker u.s. law enforcement officers have named him as james hodgkinson sixty six year old from the state of illinois he worked as a home inspector but he caught the media's attention with his strong anti republican presence on line his facebook page was also filled with support for former democratic presidential hopeful bernie sanders in march though hodgkinson is posts look to incite violence against president trump and in another he said that the president should be impeached imprisoned for treason it's also been reported that he had alcohol problems and they allegedly used to beat his foster daughter following calls from unity in the wake of wednesday's attack we heard from a panel of guests on the issues raised by the shooting including the media's role in the double standards and gun control. 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 congressman 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 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 and 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 you just want to put a label on it and charism or not as a whole it called the fact that 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 off today and. you are going to say should anybody who today were paid every comedians didn't shoot any enemies in a thing that is listen to that table when it comes to donald trump the problem is the anti trump movement is mainstream this is the problem and they've normal.

violence mr code pink do you think that the rhetoric that we've 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 seeded anger in their heart who are very angry but they don't get grab a gun it's the mentally disturbed those people that that are exact rhone too extreme where i said i had access to guns blood ice led to a growing disputed that from the beginning footballs confederation's cup is now underway here in russia well up the highlights from the first day of the competition after the break.

i'm stunned calling more than i'm neal hoping. we're going to be your hosts for the tree thousand and seventy confederations cup right here in russia we're going to be visiting the host cities or sochi can sound soo petersburg moscow going to be great i'm told in full pool sociopolitical i think pretty much covering every topic the puns need to know about the head of the match so don't forget to join us on field it's going to be full and let me know. all the feeling of. every the world should experience. and you'll get it on the open road. the rules according to just.

world come along for the ride. again now on to the football and confederations cup hosts russia got off to a strong start on saturday with a two no win over new zealand with that game and also update on day two here's neil harvey and stan collymore. so that's how it was in st petersburg of the day this is how it is and well can see one brother was day one stanley caller myself will be bringing you all the reaction we are not fair weather broadcasters are we it's a big rain all shut you know all over i'm passionate now because this is football

weather this is what you know i meant this is proper english football weather so what brought it with me the sunshine was a facade just a we're in venice we're very much in manchester to die this is where the talent is place i myself have a chance to see footage sliding tackles anything goes in this weather could be a great leveller for today's matches it is a big tournament we're talking confederations cup teams fighting it out for russian cities tens of thousands of fans this will put them off they've come here and there it here for the duration most important of first things first people want to see some action let's start with yesterday's russia to new zealand will stand take it away yes very comforting to know a very competent performance by the russian national team to nil winners and i started the game very well they finished the game very well the new zealand goal peppered with strikes and then it was pushed off the lift the ball over new zealand goalkeeper put the house one little. off the road in the second go watch molo we need to go after a very good says the president or the russian premier li and everybody was happy

included that the president vladimir putin it could have been three it could have been potentially four or five to nil a clean sheet and the hosts often yeah and you could see you could see i think a bit of relief there from president putin he knew that this was important to host nation to get off to a positive start lots of big names in attendance as well pele turns of peace. he's telling he's very valuable hard man to get he came in a lot of the world's biggest plays have turned up at the end of a long season they didn't have to take up shows how important being at this tournament is particular for the russian national team any team that hosts the world call they do not play qualification games all of the qualification games of playing at the moment around the world in the different zones russia don't have that let's bring in now alexis spat into the board member of the russian football union is also a very famous former player play for chelsea and he's captain of the russian national team hope so you can hear is on the line i just want to ask you first of

all you yourself you played in the world cup you played in the european championships like in the premier league but what about the significance of the confederations cup how important how big a tournament is it is not just be a thing in your shoes last night but it's very hard to overestimate the significance of the twenty seven thousand confederations cup first of all it's important for out soon who haven't played any official matches for a long time. in such matches our concentration is high and it's important to test yourself and improve some aspects of your game. it's also a good test for the stadiums which were built for this event and will be used during the fifa world cup and twenty eight seeing the volunteers get saloon the ropes too i hope the hosting the tournament in russia will enable our footballers to gain confidence as well as motivate them those are the key for good results let's move across now to take part of correspondence he was hanging around with. yesterday i was thinking about because they spilled ice they didn't look like too

much work in a fun zone and chilling there was a few drinks you getting acquainted with with the fans what was the vibe like how were they enjoying it they were certainly enjoying it and we thought that because it was russia against new zealand obviously a sense that before you zealand it's a long way away and also the all blacks are playing as well so there will be see when you see the fans and we couldn't find any but we did find fans not just of russia which there were plenty you could tell by our film. but we have to go way back when we finally did get to get round to talking live to the match itself but we did get fans from all over the world just before the before the match kicked off and we could tell that they were really having a really good time as we could hear from them that oh no just thought this out well it should. have been there in the book as well as the group the girly i can see if the shoe was small of course they go. see your news see you

see your language that the good goalie takes funtastic stalls for the russian nationals very much so very young so i've heard from alexis most important is that i gave him confidence the big boys come out to blood today christiane over the algo lead in portugal alexis sanchez as well they do in chile be fascinating both of those are a lot of speculation as to whether they will move to work to new groups but for portugal champions of europe with opportunities for christiane all right i'll go to pick up more silverware absolutely i mean pre-tournament favorites were germany until until he decided that it was going to be right we're going to rest most of the senior teams on the germany so fourteen rested for the at the top players also they put their emphasis on the under twenty one twenty matches well over in poland at the moment so germany set to be taking a back seat but of course you can never underestimate the germans four time world champion st time european champions but he is christiane has time to shine and he really seems to have rented out recently doesn't he in terms of his own goal scoring if that's what he's done within the european championships himself and also

he's you know he's got the bottom door he is the man of the moment he's also become the man is the news as you said he said he put himself in the shop window so he says his kind of time to shine in terms of chile will they have a very busy chatroom as well it looks like if you look through their summer they were actually get a summer off until twenty twenty so they're very much a team that seems to be playing all the time so we said ok so maybe chile could be a little bit tired here portugal sort of saving some. their reserves they've got a couple of key injuries but effectively it's still the team that won the euro so i would have said on balance we're looking at particularly portugal here maybe to shine but don't write off our to every doubt certainly she said it right to practice and there's the whole world but to me the world's media is focusing you intently now on russia everything's in the spotlight isn't it if there are any problems there will be might be five and i would say that same focus is on the russia team very important for the host nation to deliver to generate that enthusiasm among the nation among people who maybe aren't in football but they can be brought in i think what if you see as well if you get the big international

tournament as they are effectively they do whip up the whole nation don't they it's like you as you've been talking before about limping here is what you're talking about big football events even get you sort of all age ranges as well because the whole idea is that it encompasses everybody the fans those that we saw walking along today as well they think it's sort of the aftermath of this sort of them myself or you for the rest of it you see people off all ages they put out attractions for different people of different ages as well i mean it was great in the fact they put out a load of seats for all the all to generation and they got there as well i kind of earmarking their seats so you say you got the younger people at the front there's all sort of going see the ages they got told people at the back and you sort of got the grandparents around the side in the seating so they were effectively encouraging the whole sense of family and everybody behind the nation has decided that we have to get further and further back with our lives anyway because more and more people were coming and they just didn't stop coming throughout the match that by the end of it it was fantastic very convivial and russia all of that together. the u.s.

and qatari navies carried out joint drills in the persian gulf this week that were conducted amid a deepening row between doha and a number of gulf states which are accused of funding and supporting terrorism while u.s. vessels carried out exercises there washington was busy signing an arms deal with doha estimated at around twelve billion dollars one qatari official says this is proof that the u.s. still backs them in the dispute with its neighbors but not so long ago the u.s. president had some scathing criticism of the partner jacqueline takes a closer look at america's recent policy in the region. we've heard trump say time and again that he will do whatever it takes to defeat terrorism and those supporting the nation of qatar or unfortunately has historically been a funder of terrorism was waiting to see what actions the u.s. would take against the gulf country sanctions perhaps but no and that the u.s. has signed a deal to sell doha twelve billion dollars worth of fighter jets and there are plans to sell them even more later the seer and that's not all to u.s.

navy combat ships have reportedly arrived in doha to carry out joint drills with the qatari maybe conflicting messages much. actually no probably not knowing the trouble ministers. it's kind of standard behavior for the. most everyone in the world and then create wars to keep having a market is a good indication of the administration and what they're doing everywhere. because i think our kind of increased. tar is by no means the only country accused of funding terrorism iran has long been on the us. with decades around his fuel before ayers of sectarian conflict and threatening the region and causing so much by a little it's all nations of its most worked together to isolate her there is

a growing realization among your arab neighbors that they have common cause with you and the threat posed by iran and it is indeed no question about what about iran sanctions sanctions and more sanctions qatar keep a military base there are weapons and hold joint drill conflicting messages that was a deal that was a long time in the making that is not a brand new deal that just came out we continue to work with the nation of qatar and the government and other partners in the region these are necessary actions to not only support us interests in the gulf but also keeping that region as safe as possible apparently cutting ties with qatar or imposing sanctions just wouldn't be good business. r.t. washington d.c. . will be here in about thirty five minutes to update you with

a look at how lobbyists for the global meat industry work to allegedly put profit before. i. just manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. in the final. we can all middle of the room see. real news.

finally from now so that it can get out now cause a. fine. line and you feel you would be that easy to find and found that out. plus. the city people. didn't. vote but i thought it might have been my little bit of a wonderful enough that i little bit that we are shut out of money coming over out of much of the woodwork to mop up to get it but it. is this monday. some forces of the. c c. c. you can look over.

stanton glantz only learned of this case through the documents we showed him. the approaches that they used to attack the person doing the research on linking cured meats with cancer were the standard things they do one is to go through her work with a fine tooth comb and find every little thing they could possibly complain about and because the issues tend to be fairly technical you know if you're a politician or if you're a reporter or english or a highly specialized reporter all you hear is well this person said there was something bad and this other person said that they didn't know what they were talking about and some of these efforts to go after the scientists and to discredit the scientists is a key element of a much larger strategy to just gum up the entire policymaking process to the point

where nothing happens that translates into hundreds of billions of dollars of sales and profits for them so the whole game is just slow down. in the documents on dr preston martin other even more machiavellian scenarios were studied. here it was suggested that talks be held with the scientists. here a proposed seminar in order to lure her. to influence her and even shape the conclusions of her future studies. the common point of these documents they all come from the same lobbying firm multinational business services. already hired by philip morris to contest the effects of passive smoking on health and head.
