offices and units to engage in active conflicts plus the equipment kept there allegedly includes artillery batteries rocket launchers and armored vehicles with the turkish news agency revealing washington's active operations in a war zone in thirty much detail with accurate or not it's likely upset in for the us and course the pows that ally the discussion of specific troop numbers and locations would provide sensitive tactical information to the enemy which could in danger of coalition and partner forces we respectfully request that you refrain from disseminating any information we chose not to disseminate all the details listed by the antelope agency like the number of u.s. special forces and strategic tasks of the outposts arguably a bigger question. here is not about the publication's accuracy but rather why would turkey want to undermine its ally by revealing potentially dangerous details

approval ratings are the worst of any president in seventy years but political polls have been proved fairly wide of the mark of course in several countries recently caleb maupin explains how best to interpret these latest numbers we're six months into donald trump's presidency and the pollsters tell us that his ratings have tanked but these pollsters don't exactly have the best record remember what they said right before the election most calling clinton a better chance of winning than slave for hillary all the major electoral map forecasters show hillary clinton winning the election. defied. all expectations polls showed hillary clinton was the favorite to win and they weren't wrong in the sense that hillary clinton did win. the popular vote or the polls were wrong about this race the entire time warps why are american pollsters getting things so wrong and can you read between the lines to get
6:06 am
a more accurate picture here are some helpful tips posed in america made out to look precise and definitive. so is there something we're missing to understand any poll you first need to know who's taken it. recent surveys in the us seem to have picked out mainly democratic votes is leaving the republican voice behind but reports suggest americans are equally divided when it comes to party affiliation so what should we be looking for response rates the actual number of people who've taken the po over the last two decades in the u.s. view of people who seem to be interested in getting their opinions out to post as meaning the blanks to fill in for them based on probability and relying on factors like political preference and polish choices. that leaves us with something referred to as a sampling error which can be anything from one to five percent still a sizeable number of possible mistakes. so now you know you pose shouldn't be taken
6:07 am
at face value. some american pollsters even admit that they're having trouble getting things right you really don't have to justify it when you are the network and you have millions of viewers a.b.c. washington post c.b.s. new york times whatever you know that big into that whole release are an automatic several million viewers that poll is going to be discussed other networks is going to be picked up by the associated press and so. you can be careless and get away with it next time you see a catchy headline based on a poll do the work the media doesn't want you to do read between the lines ok what mop and r.t. new york. breaking news we started with in germany is to reconsider its relations with turkey is relations worse in there so they go to
6:08 am
europe postpone and here is peter all of a skit more messy isn't it what do we know so far than today. it certainly is getting more and more messy as by the minute kevin we've heard from. the german foreign minister he has well summoned the turkish ambassador to the german foreign ministry for addressing down its roots or at least the roots of this latest. awful it's broken out relates back to peter he's a a german national a human rights activist who's been arrested in turkey now the germans are demanding that he be released there also wanting information as to why he was arrested in the first place but that has prompted some very strong words from the german foreign ministry out of the mouth of foreign minister gabrielle he has warned that german companies may not be investing more in the future that there may not be german government investment more in the future for turkey he's issued
6:09 am
a warning to turkish bases german business of a department saying it's up to you if you do business there but we must warn you that there is no legal certainty for your investments there may be expropriations we've seen these in the past there in turkey has also issued a warning to personal travelers business travelers as well saying that they're not saying don't go to turkey for what they are saying is if you do go then you should register with the german embassy or with the german consulate that's nearest to where you are really very rock bottom times when it comes to diplomatic relations between burley and and anchor it's been a while a long and messy road to guess here we saw the fallings out over the the referendum in turkey which gave president to one for more powers he had wanted to be able to campaign here in germany to the the many turkish ex-pats that live here he was told he wasn't allowed to by the german authorities that resulted in
6:10 am
a spot between the two countries there's also been problems over the attempted coup last year in turkey where. some of those that are accused of taking part or all who have sought asylum here in germany and germany hasn't told what anchors asked and send them back to turkey so we're at an impasse at the moment that's resulted in this latest announcement from the foreign ministry condemning turkey's actions in the arrest of this german human rights activist but also issuing demands saying they were issued statements saying that they can't guarantee investments in turkey travelers should be aware that they could care for all into they could be targeted for for action from the turkish side of course turkey crucial to the e.u. migrant deal that germany was so key in negotiating all the time ago that hanging by a thread at the moment really one of the deepest diplomatic problems that we've
6:11 am
seen between the european nation and turkey in recent memory it certainly shows no sign of going anywhere at the moment. and i guess the next step is e what the reciprocal response if there is from turkey what that's going to be what they're going to say about it and if you don't cover peter over you're a correspondent thanks for now. or if the u.k. next the b.b.c.'s and your eight week classical music marathon struck a political quarterly in the event one of the conductors at the proms preceded a beethoven performance with a play over rex it. it i so they usually tendencies and. that is that is a very narrow sense is something that is very dangerous and can only be fought with really great acts and on the education of the new generation the new generation they have to understand that greed and germany
6:12 am
and france and then mark have all this something in common called european culture. reactions swiftly followed from a political or musical spheres who turned on the b.b.c. and the problems for allowing the event to become politicized while music commentators said is going to tarnish the problem reputation while former u.k. independence party leader nigel farage called it lunacy is what another party member to say it's well known that the b.b.c. is fundamentally against breck's it's always has been always will be we need to check we need to actually evaluate whether the b.b.c. is achieving its purpose which is to disseminate the news and events attainments instead of be in what is now a political organization if it wants to be a political organization then let's find police shouldn't sec spec the united kingdom search area to pay for it needs to raise its own revenue if it wants to do
6:13 am
that if it wants to be a voice of the nation then you know we can do show not while it's it's a political organization and this is where b.b.c. reacted by saying the proms isn't a political platform i think that it's the artists right to speak to an audience and that it was a personal artistic decision so that's the end of the story there is for the b.b.c. is concerned. elsewhere in the developing story of a violence has erupted in bethlehem between palestinian protesters and israeli police after the west bugs leadership called for a day of rage is our middle east correspondent. oh overnight we saw clashes in the palestinian city of bethlehem this marks three nights of clashes between israeli security forces and palestinian rioters now some of those clashes have also been taking place in the old city of jerusalem and the surrounding arab neighborhoods israeli police have been in point riot control
6:14 am
measures now they've been using stun grenades they've been dragging protesters away protestors in response have been throwing several objects various objects at the police themselves and dozens of people are reported to have been injured yesterday was declared a day of rage by the palestinian fatah faction and thousands of palestinians converged on the old city of jerusalem now all of this violence was sparked by a deadly shootout on friday in which two israeli security officers were killed by three israeli arabs since then israel has closed most of the entrances to the alex a mosque and has reopened several but those that it has reopened it is opened with metal detectors now palestinians say that this is an infringement on the right of freedom to worship they are also concerned that israel might be trying to change the status quo now the israelis and jordanians are in talks the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said repeatedly that he has no intention to change the status quo and we also know that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has
6:15 am
urged to calm the situation but this is a hugely volatile area and many are bracing for more violence particularly ahead of a call tomorrow that has gone out by the jerusalem top muslim cleric and he has called for all mosques in jerusalem to remain closed and for worshippers to make their way to the compound so we are expecting another day of rage and potential clashes tomorrow friday will be across the coming up top of the e.u. to help italy which is threatening further draft to go after the latest crisis among the stories. thank. you.
6:16 am
they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so the president. had to go on to be this is what before. people get. interested in the water how. should.
6:17 am
i get several european countries are going to go for the ongoing crisis italy which is now accepting most of those coming to europe is in a big standoff with other members of the block over how the crisis is being handled . by you know activists have protested against refugee policies and violations of human rights while in greece and angry demonstrations being held against delays in the immigration process. the delays of less thousand separated from the families and stranded in greece divisions between different ethnic groups of all support emerging in the overcrowded camps to. the. reading.
6:18 am
problem which is there for. most of the just the way things sort of decisions. african people sometimes if they are just says start by saying they want to get their ride spidey their hand in floyd's subgroup of the. us a little bit considers to syrian people they can get assigned him quickly and it's also not true it will be. not the only party spots of. people coming from africa feeling neglected when they are arrived suddenly they faced the. different treatment because of their skin and skin color or because of
6:19 am
different other variables when you feel that not receiving your interview in a couple of months but in four five six months that you're seeing that there's a longer rejection rate for your community or for the group of people you are from your attention on your frustration raises. meantime italy's been desperately calling for help of course saying it feels abandoned isolated from its e.u. bloc neighbors the e.u. for its part they repeatedly voiced it's ready the us to help but it seems italy's patience is rapidly running out over dollars in reports now from sicily. the city of messina is the beginning of the main ferry transit route to mainland italy there you have it there are more and more migrants filling the local streets and there are no solutions coming from the central government and the european union brussels has been voicing repeated the reading is to help but italy says that saying something is different from actually providing real solutions and getting things
6:20 am
done we need a unity of purpose international regional effort and this is why the european union continues to work with the quartet for libya today that there is unity in approach the only thing that we are in europe is to me to lead to a location from we are continuing to push because in europe you know particularly you could actually in general the only thing that counts is odd negotiation italy has threatened with issuing temporary visas for migrants which will allow free travel all around europe and that will be of course a thorn in the side of the record breaking numbers of migrants and refugees have been arriving in the country in the recent months since january it's a we has received more than eighty thousand refugees but those are just official estimates the numbers may actually be much higher and that led to unprecedented
6:21 am
measures by the government for example restrictions on n.g.o.s that are trying to rescue the refugees that are coming from north africa on boats and also even leading to closures of here in sicily locals who are getting increasingly fed up with the situation there saying that responsibility must be shared i believe that welcoming people is the right thing but the european union must pay more attention to this phenomenon and support italy in this enormous effort social integration for these people is a must but the e.u. cannot just look at it from afar it needs to get involved and not abandon italy and sicily in particular. yes we feel abandoned i believe that the european union should really focus on. especially on the issues that affect the south of italy we have been welcoming talionis our true europeans sicilians have been welcoming and
6:22 am
supportive for years but we are not willing to be the fools of europe the e.u. has left us alone this is our country we will try in every way possible to block this arrogance and the selfishness which is not european after a serious of protests in the region mayors of local towns around the scene i have decided to gather at the municipality behind my back to find solutions to the crisis there's a glimmer of hope that this can be done a lack of action could lead to more protests here and also in the towns around the city. next electronically tagging the homeless you hear me right so that access to the movements can be bought by anyone to try it with an up twenty four seventh's sounds like some kind of face and glimpse into an oppressive future but it's happening to this happening right now in london the man behind it is an avant garde danish artist. bomb in central london during
6:23 am
a photo shoot of the home. yeah look a little bit more. if you're angry and your eyes. and you don't do anything for you you hate them. he will do next i. know you make me famous a. bit more about this guy's thought see it worse by giving people who sleeping rough a tracking device on display than access to it is day to day which is a soul for tens of thousands of pounds to anyone who wants to watch them any time half the money goes to the homeless volunteer their every day struggles also for the money get splashed across the web and social networks the intention of all this the creator says is to shine a light on abject poverty in an age when anything could be bought on our lives are always on show. and i love the fact that the buyers are part of the project and it creates awareness and it turns to problem upside down then make fun of it and they can see it in the ferrari or whatever and they can look free i am at the guys in
6:24 am
the park now it's november it's cold it worries me that frightens me chasing some sensational headlines that he is using and from abusing the vulnerable just as a product as a commodity to some unknown person and slave to abuse them and the i don't see what the end point is how the benefit will be for the homeless person like in all good business deals everyone gets. walks away from with a good sense so the homeless gets fifty percent of all after all expenses but only if they stay a year in the project and fill up their application in the country. in a way. what he's doing something else he called when you've got such. an imbalance and somebody puts in some of these vulnerable and somebody has got a lot of money you know if there was inequality fine you know if you had twenty
6:25 am
five thousand in time i have twenty five thousand and i want to buy you for a year we can strike a deal but as soon as you've got an inequality. what she's saying about that tell us keep track of. any of your other platforms and kevin always knew that you know through the afternoon the focus on that developing story we've been talking about between germany and turkey the spot between them seems to be getting worse for me though for now very good afternoon. i really think that liberal democracy is in deep trouble the liberal democratic
6:26 am
politicians has sort of created their own soul of what matters and they're leaving out more and more in a larger historical sense i would say liberal democracy has really reached its limit. credit is one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did it i took a line the whole gist i can be got and that that the debt style game data and it was far enough control. many lives have been broken by excessive that the banks got you into for a walk on all the big bankers got big prize so they're going to go on the banks but first i didn't think of the. last morning there is a back under don't buy creditors people see no future bad phase from happening you
6:27 am
know you become ill you're going to job your relationship breaks down you become a casualty is debt a life long trouble or is there a way out though not sure in front of it or know of marco to ditch a bill for morphed sysco him or. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media folk the 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 .
6:28 am
a lot of people like to use the word electro small very good analogy but when we have cell towers on every to every big building when we are going to put these five g. generators on every light pole on every street it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it in a box and in a shielded room away the same person that was helping us to shield found the right material to hold back that particular frequency that was coming in and burning my skin and we built a room it looks like a little foil but it's not it's three layers thickens like a very very fine chicken wire in the middle of it there were days that i didn't
6:29 am
know it the sun came up the sun went down and christmas came around we had christmas inside the cellar room as we like to call it. which you know pending on how you look at it could have been really sad but we made the best of it. having christmas in here meant a lot to all of us there were so many events so many school events so many things that my wife could not to she even missed her daughter's graduation to college it was three four hours away she couldn't take the drive and she could stay overnight . and you know the kind of thing you know really tell people because one don't think you crazy too they definitely want to stay in and that's why i bother so for the last. how many years since i've been i think for the last four years now i spent a minimum of ten thousand dollars each year on in a couple years and spent twenty thousand dollars just in.
