welcome the latest development and look back at the last seven days to watch and weekly here on r.t. on the start with breaking news from the capital of mali in west africa gunmen there have stormed a tourist resort near the capital bamako a hostage situation is reportedly under way and she cutey forces are currently at the scene at the moment we don't know about casualties these pictures are said to show the sites of the attack the margin government says that suspected you had this behind the assault the hotel is near bamako where the radisson blu hotel was targeted by a terror attack that killed more than twenty people in twenty fifteen that's the latest for the moment of course any more details we'll get so i will bring them straight to you. i wednesday's tower block inferno in

west london is believed to have killed fifty eight people police say that number may still rise too is the slow task of combing through the gutted building for bodies continues the fire broke out in the early hours of the morning and swiftly engulf the entire twenty four storey residential block. all. like. that but i'm. like an old fart in a whole lot of forming a. lot. of the fire and the lack of a robust response has led to widespread public fury protesters in the capital have been calling for the prime minister to step down they want hong says to wife cheap

flammable and possibly illegal cladding was used on the building trees and made for her pot is admitted that the handling of the disaster as not being good enough downing street is expected to appoint someone to lead a public inquiry into the ground felt how a tragedy within days on the prime minister has also warded urgent safety checks and all similar tower blocks but says and see the reports from many a lot more still needs to be done. we're right outside downing street where you can see hundreds of people have gathered to protest against a recent maize 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 recently called on the following polish and that was one would think you need and this was the original reason but since the tragedy with the grand cell tower where as we know the eight hundred left homeless following what i'd probably they're all of these people are

saying this is because the final straw for the un happiness are following the decisions that this government has been making not only that but germany earning also brought up the idea of giving up the residents who were affected by it. friends fellow residential properties there are so awfully available to that area and standing empty in those neighborhoods is something that's been right 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 it's an empty and they have been for six months why not give them to someone temporarily and i mean that that really does need a it's been a long drop 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 that 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 else was like 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 with 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. to deal with it a bit who is truthful open for as a result they killed a father and his truth. the shooting reportedly happened after a u.s. military vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb and in officials have still not confirm the reports of civilian deaths although a statement from the u.s. mission in afghanistan did say that the troops opened fire in self defense has spoken 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 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 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 zero 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 america. 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 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 in afghanistan is harsh but for zira 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 i guess the of.

breaking news now on gunmen have stormed a luxury tourist resort known to be popular with foreigners navy capital of mali in west africa no word yet on casualties although some reports do say there may be a hostage situation these pictures are said to show the site of the attack the government says suspected you had is that behind me the country has been battling an islamist insurgency in the north of the country the latest of course we'll keep you updated. the confederations cup is well and truly underway in russia at the moment with mexico a little earlier today in cameroon chile and moscow right now. yes although we'll have the highlights plus analysis to after the break.

during the fifa world cup in twenty eight 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 key for good results we didn't get to go to the stadium to the end game you know a man who did our correspond. is what the atmosphere was like the people of st petersburg they had been waiting so long for this time this moment where they can finally go. and you guys know what that is that is the chant for the national team because it was the maiden flight so to say for the national team. is very no we've seen a few games but finally this was the beginning this was the first win in an official game for stanislav church airsoft two important stance. to get involved here well i just want you to feel a bit of that vibe and give you the best shots of the russian fans that we took yesterday have a lot less is that in this hour we'll watch it. with

outcome that cone will have the green light for all the initiatives and all the changes that he has been promising welcome pay me for the post of the leader of this country we have been able to speak to different people here in france and it seems that the public opinion is divided about this some say that this is a very good sign this is why we value to hold based man but others are afraid that . a country with very strong traditions is entering a new era when the authorization is going to be dramatically incapable of influencing the political landscape and that could theoretically lead to a situation when the ruling party would be spoiled somehow politically this is what some experts say about their theories will be a person but. the process of dissolution of the brutality. for as long as there isn't

a strong opposition right now the opposition will be so weak as to the most basic system that he's that he's not a good situation for them to be in parties which each individual will have. been subject to defeat said. that they will probably collapse as a result these are only three big parties the socialist public. will come to deal with the. they've. been mapping the bend the major rival all the men in my column the presidential election the controversial leader also in the torah is national front party has been elected based time and she will also be the member off palm and say the vote is now may be over but it is clear that france is at the
