8:04 pm
video really is just the latest in a string of constructor see surrounding the white helmet script. journalist finesse a big lee has covered the syrian crisis on the ground many times during the conflict she says the video once again demonstrates the group's questionable ethics this is not the first time that we've seen the way home it's being videoed participating and various atrocities in syria going back as far as two thousand and fifteen and the only reason that the white helmets have again put out a statement is of course because they've been caught out now let's just examine incident it took place and it was an attack on the syrian arab army the funding and advice on the old to damascus highway not all of that was there an arab army soldiers according to my sources on the ground who were killed during their touch the they were not all killed in action many of the syrian arab army soldiers were

8:08 pm
in other news the south there has been an awful protest in central london members of the english defense league took to the streets to vent their anger to speak of islamic terror attacks but they were met by anti fascist groups who organized a counter-rally chanting slogans saying refugees a welcome in the country there was a large police presence but as all teasing or smith reports that only seem to add to the tension. another day another protest at least that's how it's being here in london at the moment these are two small but very strong demonstrations here with standing with the english defense league they have come out today in response to the number of terrorist attacks that we have had here in the u.k. just over the past couple of months that saying enough is enough but we need to go up islamic fundamentalism because it's all for the reason that very angry about it as i say a small number of people very very emotional and it being very very heavily policed day and i'll bet you find they come around and see just

8:11 pm
russia on twenty four minutes at a very crisp british it was across the right time of the mexican goalkeeper my well steady the nerves great wasn't to mexico came back into the game in equalizing five minutes church itself needs to look to manage your game see a guy didn't five minutes later the mexican this is a shocking way to lose our team's one long point to brainstorms and he grew up in front of his one hundred first appearance of the russian national team was in no man's land but the hosts arrived will effect the tournament perhaps not because they're still going to say the very best like about sanchez cristiano ronaldo but disappointing for russia ok scout mexico go through though they were fancied too and of course winning the group the big favorites european champions portugal is have a look at there a couple of the goals from not matching with who else but christiane around the who opened the scoring on thirty three minutes bread and butter for a striker of his quality a penalty and look at a confident smashes it home then came five minutes later thirty eighth minute to

8:13 pm
a lot of summer bro hot side in the top down sun i managed to speak to some of the visitors some of those mexican fountains and most of us were thinking of coming and having a lot of cold people and really has been the opposite like very friendly very like in mexico very open and very willing to help so we have a very very exciting to have these. amazing culture from the russians nowadays well we have some things that are very similar in terms of the culture and all those are very russian of course but we're enjoying very much good use of the weather changes every thirty minutes but aside from that everything is good thought it or yeah it's better it's more water we thought it was going to be like more soviet style but it's very moscow's very modern here is like if you like one of the provinces it's also nice aha yeah i. i. you know you'll. go even lower lows.

8:18 pm
politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want. to go right to the press the cycle before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water. welcome back now racial tensions in the u.s. are making headlines yet again a university professor from connecticut received death threats after an inflammatory post on facebook he called for an end to white supremacies using an
8:19 pm
expletive version of the hash tag let them die his comment was in relation to the shooting of republican and republican congressman last week the storm of anger was so intense the campus was temporarily closed the professor fled the premises and has since issued a public apology well the latest figures show hate crime in the u.s. has skyrocketed in at least six big cities this type of crime so at least a twenty percent increase last year caleb maupin looks now at how racial tension is dividing society. reports of hate crimes have been surging across the u.s. headlines in recent months. the rise of racially motivated attacks has been a trend in the united states sends to twenty sixteen presidential election new york city has seen
8:20 pm
a twenty four percent rise in hate crimes with twenty percent across the state cincinnati ohio has seen an increase of thirty eight percent while chicago has seen twenty percent and all of this comes as both the press and politicians have reveled in the race when it comes to picking a president and ninety percent of the black vote is ninety percent over what black vote trump has stood up in front of largely white audiences and described black communities in such insulting and ignorant terms i love the signs behind me blacks for trump i like those signs one thing he does know is how to get angry white men to vote for him president obama over the weekend delivering a roll ring and deeply personal appeal to black voters at times it seemed like the election was just all about race we heard about minorities who felt threatened by trial and angry white men who voted for him but if you look for such a narrative elsewhere you'd struggle france italy in the netherlands for example don't allow any collecting of statistics based on race or religion and it doesn't
8:21 pm
play any role in politics so are they right and america wrong we decided to ask people's opinions on the street i think it's a great thing to get but statistics on what people think about in like a different country that way you can know what type of policies need to be developed i think they're stirring people up to foot one against the other and i believe that. assuming someone's economic or social or political standings based on their race is definitely. wrong i think it it opens up a. dialogue for people to start talking about what some of those issues might be to have some data down allies so you should get to like statistics or ethnic or religious affiliations has always been used as a kind of path the power in the united states in terms of politics public in the democratic party really capitalize on divisions of all sorts and they use this as a wedge to drive. whatever the arguments or whatever the political agenda is. to
8:22 pm
really actively looking for that wedge issue in order to somehow stick to really to steer the public away from the really common issues which are affecting all aspects of society as with any controversy related to race it's quite apparent that americans don't see eye to eye. party new york. with less than one hundred days to go before the general election in germany chancellor angela merkel has literally been spelling out what her country now stands for just to give you a flavor of the agency she's released the words album does which means state oh me i'm booked to brought all sound which am is for made in germany plus muslims and her pay stance a pawn of the e.u. and nato along with the word for mushroom hunting and the o. is the famous october fest along with german order well not content with this we took the liberty of creating our own merkel alphabet.

8:25 pm
able to succeed the. problem that they have in a war that has lasted longer than any other u.s. war in history almost sixteen years now is the fact that the people do not wish to accept the patient. while america's attempts to settle the afghan crisis have seen several surprising methods tested. we're not in afghanistan right now. going for. the plug on this cruise to the shall see thank you. to six million dollars to mail a tire you can go because the a bomb in color now the pentagon doesn't even know where to go. that might have been eat.
