but u.s. is set to vote on further sanctions against russia but the e.u. warns of retaliation against washington if the move hurts european businesses. quote no magic solution to the refugee crisis can be found it to these interior minister warns that international talks and are too great travels to rule areas of the country to gauge the effects of the migrants and. iraq's vice president calls for a bigger russian presence in the country ahead of talks with adam and.

thanks for tuning in it's ten in the morning here in the russian capital you're watching our team to national with us and these two top story at this hour the u.s. is set to vote on further sanctions against russia on tuesday the bill which has already passed the senate and now goes to the house targets russia for allegedly interfering in u.s. presidential elections let's take a look at what's in the bill if your habits partnering with russian companies in a range of sectors including finance shipping and metals it also cost a sanction any company giving technology investment or export assistance to russian pipeline projects but the move is already facing resistance from the e.u. brussels warning it may retaliate if the move hurts european businesses the european commission is preparing to discuss sanctions the day after the vote in washington and earlier version of the bill has already been slammed by germany and austria. connotes accept the u.s.

through to impose sanctions that violate international law and affected european companies involved in the expansion of europe's energy supply europe so the g. supply is a month of for europe the united states of america it's up to us to decide who supplies us with energy and how according to rules of openness i'm ok competition the bill accuses russia of weaponize ing its gas exports but asking them often explains it would actually hand the u.s. more power to control the global energy market so after months of podium pounding and condemnations against russia the us congress is about to pass a bill penalizing russia not much to see here right just part of the ongoing confrontation well let's take a look at what's actually in the bill the bill is targeting the construction of a key natural gas pipeline in europe citing what it calls detrimental impact on european energy security furthermore in the same paragraph the bill talks about exporting more of america's resources in order to create american jobs strengthen

u.s. allies and strengthen u.s. foreign policy now that all agrees with a key component of u.s. energy strategy america's global dominance and finally we will acknowledge that energy policy. is not just a vital element of u.s. economic policy but it's also a viable element of u.s. foreign policy and one of the most important actions we can take is to use our massive shale gas resources to begin shipping liquefied natural gas overseas so there you have it but what does selling gas to europe have to do with protecting the sanctity of america's voting machines america's european allies are now crying foul saying that the usa is interfering with their energy policies with these sanctions and this conflict the relationship between russia and germany is not always free of conflicts but i cannot see how the politics of sanctions is hoping

that says there is an american saying if you're in a hole stop digging i think this would be the right's approach to this issue the united states wants somehow to have you know bigger share of the european market especially in german germany because the biggest market. so far what i saw is that the russian you know is somehow an enemy for the u.s. guy. from each state. and we have a very longstanding relations with the russian federation. in a market where you know you have longstanding relations and i see. a good example to mention. at this point russia counts for thirty eight percent of the european union's natural gas while the usa only accounts for two percent of the e use natural gas imports you can bet some slick wall street syndicates would like

to reverse that lineup so when you hear this explanation of the sanctions we'll continue to work with the house and the senate to put those tough sanctions in place on russia until the situation in ukraine is fully resolved don't forget about this one we are committed to securing your access to alternate sources of energy so poland and its neighbors are never again held hostage to a single supplier of energy u.s. leaders say that they don't like russia for all kinds of reasons but one thing they don't mention is that russia is a key exporter of oil and natural gas competing with the big monopolists cable baghban art see new york. donald trump's son in law of jared kirschner has the night oh i can see asians of collusion with russia during last year's election campaign he made a statement outside the white house let me be very clear i did not collude with

russia nor do i know of anyone else in the campaign who did so donald trump had a better message and ran a smarter campaign and that is why he won suggesting otherwise ridicules those who voted for him the president's senior adviser was called to testify in front of the senate intelligence committee the hearing was held behind closed doors but in a statement released ahead of the appearance question or explain the extent of his contacts with russian joining the presidential campaign has to story. he did put out an eleven page statement before him and in that document he outright denies all accusations of colluding with the russians or of having any knowledge of others in team trump having done so along with denying having any improper contact with foreign officials bush outlined each interaction he had with russians including the now infamous meeting with a russian attorney that the media has painted as no less than a kremlin agent cushion or was being invited to meet with

a russian attorney and it had been promised she would deliver dirt on hillary clinton and it is suspicious that they met with these people that they didn't consult a lawyer and that one of these people is a former k.g.b. she or you or the russian intelligence arm kirshner's explanation is much less exciting he claims that the meeting was about adoption and that he even had an assistant call him and get him out of it because it wasn't a good use of his time question or also draw attention to the fact that his job during the campaign was to be the point of contact with foreign countries and therefore the four times he did encounter russians was well within his scope realistically not having any to report would have been more concerning given the amount of foreign contacts he had during the campaign i had incoming contacts with people from approximately fifteen countries to put these requests in context i must have received thousands of kools let's isn't emails from people looking to talk a meet on a variety of topics including hundreds from outside the united states when i could

not be responsive to everyone i tried to be respectful of any foreign government question or how stressed the fact that he had only limited contacts with russian representatives and none of them were improper history has shown us that it is likely that the hunt for wrongdoing well continue political analyst charles or tell believe the rival democratic party has gained nothing from its relentless campaign against team trump. jarrett coaster did a great job in the primary a great job in the general election a great job in the transition and a fine job an outstanding job today so i would hope that the democrats were would realize it's actually in their interest now to use this new message that just rebranded just came out today and accept the fact that they lost because hillary clinton and her team ran a horrible campaign learn from that move on and select a new set of initiatives to try to sell the american people but i fear there are simply just not going to give up quite frankly i think we've seen enough we know

enough i think president trusts his stand up she should be encouraged to use the process formally and get robert muller says to produce results and then stand down . there's no magic solution to the refugee crisis according to italy's interior minister european officials manage an easier to discuss the problem on monday it to these been the most vocal over the migrant issue with the country receiving the brunt of all refugees coming by sea from africa interior minister mark on mynydd to stress the need for a common strategy there is no magic solution no nation can alone deal with the migratory flunks a new nation sheltered from it this year alone almost one hundred thousand refugees have reached the italian coast that's eighty five percent of all migrants have journeyed by sea to europe artist has been traveling across italy to rule area for the country to see how the crisis is impacting on like their. italy's come up with

a plan to ease the migrant crisis make them settle across the country even in the most remote areas one neighborhood saw an abandoned hotel turn into a refugee shelter overnight the result a divided community and a mere launching a protest. bad to a small town in the mountains which after a government decision was forced to accommodate dozens of migrants. i hope the mayor of this town mr cheever told can explain the system to me. can we see the hotel now. ok thank you. the media. didn't tell us in advance that migrants were coming but i thought everything would work out so the government told us that it would help us to cope with the migrants there already many problems like unemployment issues with infrastructure health etc

that's why some people around here are angry because the government chose to invest money into the relocation of migrants instead of providing time with additional funds. this looks like the hotel we're looking for they entered through the gates but stayed outside because there was no electricity the hotel hasn't been used for years to host tourists my next step was to try and talk to the migrants inside but they wouldn't let me in the gate was a dodgy looking men he claimed to be from a cooperative that had been put in charge by the authorities filming he said the mayor said that a very low percentage of people who are here are actually refugees most of them are economic migrants is about truth no that's not true the migrants are well integrated has never even contacts me he's lying i went on to ask where the migrants were from the man claimed they were always fiji's out of nigeria maybe but . just as i was negotiating we saw a couple with

a tray of sweets it turns out some locals were indeed glad to have the new neighbors finally he let me in without the camera the refugees said they'd only got warm welcomes from locals and were ready to become sicilians our journey continued to another small community where migrants haven't arrived yet but the government's intentions have already caused quite a debate in the usually quiet neighborhood. very small abandoned school local government wanted to place sixty my gran's in that small building. i think we have a chance to talk to the lawyer who is representing the local community. to meet you don't. understand the plan was to put the migrants here all speed out of the. border putting migrants here into buildings like this is racism the risk is that the shelter could turn into a kind of concentration camp because the migrants will have nothing to do here but

the problem is not just this it's bigger it's about the lack of ability and opportunities to integrate the boats won't stop arriving in sicily from north africa so let's wait till you hear similar stories from italy's many other. having blasted the rest of the. crisis italian officials seem to have taken up a strategy of a nationwide melting pot will be watching how it's put to the test you'll have a drink your tea in sicily. but there's no mistake losing ground at a stronghold there have been frequent warnings that many shahade us from europe may flee back home and start a twenty two year old dutch rapper could be one of them after you posted this on line. so people. can see. that rapper is among hundreds of europeans who left their countries to

join us on this day in iraq and syria the netherlands authorities believe two hundred eighty dutch nationals headed to the middle east to take up the jihad of that one hundred nineteen manage to join isis while fifty returned back home meanwhile eighty of those that left holland are officially classed as children. it seems many to hard as were determined from the outset to eventually return home and resettle in europe. i had expected to be a change factor in the civil war by fighting a shot that didn't succeed because the world is siding with the side and they always had the intention of returning after the war countries across europe have been ringing the alarm bells for some time over the risk posed by returning to harvests even though they were face criminal charges or some fear of the fighters will just say what the authorities want to hear. integration there were rocks with the individual who all to be integrated is sort of willing to integrate so the

question is when these people were born in the worst and then converted to islam their fled their home countries because they were called weak to islam and the are is a state of being the better choice but the question is really are they willing to change to change back to their roots or is it only some artificial. behavior in order to come back from the crumbling ice estate and then carry on fighting in western europe that's a question. iraq's vice president is meeting for adam and put in on tuesday during a four day trip to russia let's cross live to artie's cape archer's now for more details. hi there came i see this morning so what can we expect from this meeting. hi there emily as you say there that nuri al maliki is meeting president putin incent petersburg on day three of his four day trip here to write for day trip here

to russia and the meetings that he had yesterday were with sergey lavrov the foreign minister to discuss what about russian cooperation with iraq and how that they can develop relations further in particular speirs like economic space the political balance there and also in the military sphere and really called upon russia yesterday to increase its presence in iraq. iraq has historic ties with russia and now we need russia's political as well as military presence to restore balance in the region in the interests of the countries and nations living there. well as we're hearing there russia and iraq seem to have very good relations with in the meantime iraq's relations with the us haven't been so good leaky is a known and vocal critic of the american bases there and also how he's forced how uncomfortable the iraqi people are with the american presence he's also said that he's concerned about how the americans could also claim credit for the liberation in mosul against isis which he feels was effectively down to the iraqi forces on the ground rather than the american presence so lots of issues to discuss when it's

coming up today on day three terrorism one of them that's the big point there but also as you said before economic cooperation and moving forward on maintaining what he calls that political balance thanks for that k i'm sure we'll be coming back to you as a poet and meets with a iraqi vice president that was like a partition parting for us live there. an adult film about homosexuals syrian refugees sparking debate with discuss the issue right after a short break. people with stories to tell. those who deserve to be heard.

it's still on you since. you see first and this is. they're here to speak for you there to hear. in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around corners corporations run washington washington the media the media the voters elected businessmen to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . welcome back to the program and i don't movie about homosexual muslim refugees has sparked controversy and germany the film shows a night in the life of

a newly arrived syrian refugee in berlin who after suffering a hate crime meets a german man the director explained she was trying to change attitudes towards migrants. she didn't understand it. like the sound of it. if you are brought up with an idea that homosexuality is wrong. of course there will be people thinking that this film is showing something that is completely out of the question. but what i hope for and what i wish for them looking at it and getting emotional with the characters feeling for it and eventually. mine. the vast majority of

newcomers to germany are muslim with homosexuality for britain and islam we got reaction to the film from a syrian refugee. i came to europe from the arab east from syria not to see things like this but to learn from europeans the culture of good behavior i'm personally against it shouldn't gaijin this kind of action social commentator morons are and conservative writer my turn of age gave us their views on the story . if it can do some good to show people that muslims come in different kinds of shapes and forms but that's a great thing now there are naturally going to be people who are upset maybe some the graphic scenes in the sexual scenes it is an adult movie but the key themes are that there are different stories and some people want to tell their stories there's definitely some tension between the idea that europe needs to open its doors and walk them in millions of people from all over the world all those millions of

people often have homophobic values it's been proven there actually have to segregate gay people in the refugee camps because they do face violence and attacks in germany had a problem with out with gay refugees and we have some reports that recent in the u.k. and in france about asylum seekers who were gay and who were being so badly abused by guards in offices and other people that were not being protected that they have taken their own lives you're going to have a major culture clash if you walk a man a million new people who have a strong cultural identity and are willing to impose that culture ideally in their own social norms are the people who live in the host nation my kids one of these guys that belongs on the alternative or the far right now who have been peddling. ideas of war in the one nine hundred thirty s. would call the untermensch which is that there are people who are somehow less human they've got less human values they're monolithic bloc so i just remember one thing mike that homosexuality was made norful lawful in terms of there was no

crime or punishment to be meted out to people who were gay in the muslim world centuries before it was in the race the facts are the pew research has done multiple studies on this and multiple polling and fifty percent of people in muslim majority nations do believe that homosexuality should be a crime in question is is the muslim world now in the middle east now not three hundred years ago now five hundred years ago now are there except of homosexuals and gay people the answer is that they're not you have to change hearts through enlightenment through education through reaching out through engagement what you don't change hearts by is by pointing at people and demonizing them and making them feel under siege and downtrodden what you don't do is change hearts and minds by making people feel somehow untrustworthy or unworthy your. u.s. forces in afghanistan have been accused of killing eight civilians in an airstrike the bombing raid took place and nagar province on sunday and was targeting islamic state a spokesman for the regional governor issued

a statement if he told us. state militants were killed in the u.s. operation eight civilians were injured another eight killed including women and children. according to witnesses the strike hit a funeral procession several of the survivors are being treated at a local hospital artie's video agency probably managed to speak to some of them. but i had shots then a jet fine to last me siren it leveled five rooms to ground some people were killed and injured later i fainted when i opened my eyes i found myself in hospital. we were sitting in their own together and suddenly i had the must have been pardoned in which and i was injured.

the u.s. military has come for of the strike took place but said it wasn't aware of any civilian casualties while the un mission has promised an investigation into the allegations. the us warned of an escalating danger unless israel and palestine resolve their ongoing dispute over access to temple mount also known as the noble sanctuary and. it is extremely important that a solution to the current crisis be found by friday this week i thing the dangers on the ground will escalate if we go through another cycle of friday prayer without a resolution to this to this current crisis. temple mount. as is known to muslims as one of the most contested religious sites in the world for jews is the site of two reference temples was also home to is the third holiest shrine mosque the area is ministered by
