this lunchtime from moscow animosity and overhaul in the white house donald trump places his chief of staff and the current secretary of homeland security back in the next thirty minutes of the turbulence of infighting the current u.s. administration so far. coming up to life living in a hell they say human rights watch said police are abusing migrants in the french port city of galle while authorities are saying they're struggling to cope with the new influx of people our crew go there and. opposition protesters clashed with police in venezuela huge weekend head of a crucial vote on who will be involved in rewriting the country's constitution we're going to break down the situation from where it's heading coming up. do you

come down to those horrible political lynchings third you can down those horrific political assassinations. killed by the by or our own people doesn't live rovers and i think it's very unfair to say. very good afternoon from moscow me kevin though in here and out international today it's just one of the afternoon this saturday here at h.q. and thirty minutes of news starts with this barely a day seems to pass in the white house these days isn't it with new controversy new upheaval donald trump knows announcing his chief of staff ridge probus will step down to be replaced by the current secretary of homeland security john kelly is just the latest in a string of high profile officials to head for the exit in the past six months just a week ago the white house spokes press secretary sean spicer left his position seemed to. and quickly didn't surprise too many people though because he hadn't

appeared to many briefings of late however the earlier dismissal of the f.b.i. director james comey no that was a surprise that was back in may came as a major shock even to him one of the reasons trump gave the decision was the intelligence chief handling of the investigation into hillary clinton's much publicized use of a private e-mail server then of course before that is national security advisor michael flynn was forced to resign over alleged ties to russia it's been all go jacqueline vote at the next looks at how relationships in the white house is starting to resemble one particular t.v. series. between senate investigations and twitter wars the current us presidency has barely gotten the ball rolling but there has been plenty of drama we are strongest when we're unified. this is a bunch of scumbags. president was being small president it's not presidential at all. we're all going to sing rowdy this country.

mr speaker to call for the impeachment of the president boy have they tried i mean every single thing when i'm. here. when i'm finished i think they will absolutely. lately the bipartisan tug of war has shifted to being on the lines of the enemy of my enemy is my friend take attorney general jeff sessions not long ago he was considered one of trump most trusted allies whereas democrats were less than impressed he's a man of integrity a man of principle and a man of total utter resolve because the department of justice should be above reproach for the good of the country attorney general sessions should resign in just a couple of months trump's law for sessions has turned sour and lo and behold under chuck schumer suddenly coming to his defense i am disappointed in the attorney

general. he should not have recused himself even if the president has disagreements with him which i think are real found self-centered and wrong. you don't ridicule him in public apparently because that's the line between love and hate and that line is basically just a few mean tweet and it works the opposite way as well let's look at former f.b.i. director james comey when he spoke out on the hillary clinton investigation praised his valor while the democrats were far from fleet it took guts for director komi to make the move that he made it light of the kind of opposition he had. the f.b.i. director has no credibility oh how the times have changed since he's a showboat he's a grandstander the f.b.i. has been in turmoil you know that i know that the reason that tony was fired was because donald trump wants to cut off any investigation and it's not just

politicians who are easily swayed the media follows the changing tide as well george w. bush was slammed by the press and seen as one of the worst american presidents toward the end of his time in office he leaves office the most unpopular president in modern history this president performed so poorly we have a president to transcend at least stupid he is the worst president of my lifetime but a few well aimed comments in an interview turned him into a white house favorite i consider the media media to be indispensable to democracy we need an independent media to hold people like me to account it's very funny to the sense of humor is coming well he said oh well respected mr president we want to thank you. even former white house press secretary sean spicer who was one of the media's favorite punching bags for some time is now feeling the love following his resignation rumor has it he may even become a reality t.v. star the political positions are breathtakingly incoherent their scripts are

frantic with all due apologies to what is trump's saying we were against it it's like that groucho marx songs is whatever you're for i'm against it it just depends because this isn't about platform. it's not about conviction it's not about ideology it's about personality we have two parties in this country. and. thirteen the rule of thumb in washington these days is to keep your enemies both and your friend and even closer at least until it's more beneficial to turn a. party washington d.c. . police or the french court of color they are accused of abusing migrants on a routine basis human rights watch report says quote like living in hell for some of these asylum seekers there the rights group says that pepper sprays used on migrants in circumstances when the pose no threat police are also accused of confiscating sleeping bags and clothing from the migrants or disrupting access to humanitarian aid the town's authorities though say they don't want to return to the infamous refugee camp known as the jungle that was so publicly dismantled last year

. but we do know one the jungle to reappear we don't want people to arrive and stay here that's why we've been added to the police already here sudanese ordinance in order to prevent the influx we've seen over the past few weeks from continuing to grow back. to compound those fears migrants a still arising in cal a human watch human rights watch saying over four hundred are there now other estimates though put it as high as six hundred about a half of them are unaccompanied children how scary must it be for them police warning that the growing numbers could lead to a repeat of the violence that time so early at. the ease with the east.

the east the east the police admit they're struggling to cope with the migrants say they feel abandoned by the authorities. i spent my six month in college and the other one came and did this it to all the people you'll see in france will give you a fair part. work yet in your life then separately in the process enough to know you aren't in the seas. for us it's all normal actually more we have about six hundred migrants here now and we're expecting more there's a zero tolerance policy towards the settling of migrants and the reconstruction of the jungle the mission of the police is clear migrants must be prevented from sleeping in certain areas and from forming groups there's more and more tension including between the migrants themselves we also have difficulties with the far left with choice to promote

a world without borders and without police they are particularly nervous about the actions of the police they try to film in attackers that creates tensions so now that we have more work to do we've asked for reinforcements and i've received them from the interior ministry our job is not at all easy it's difficult to stop migrants from gathering in certain places meanwhile reports of dire conditions are coming from a migrant camp in northeast france along the coast charlotte do bensky went there. alcohol of violence and reports of rape that's the reality in this migrant camp that's being dubbed a humanitarian slaughter hit in metz. if. there is a problem with alcohol and violence even as a major were cafes problems they don't have food but they manage to get hold of alcohol we don't know how to handle the situation there is not enough security of her that amber of people here in the camp has been dismantled several times but

every time it's taken down new people come and the camp is reformed locals ferments are concerned about its impact. this problem has to be addressed quickly for their sake as well as for us there suffer in. the city of metz was not prepared for the count there thought it is empty but now there are seven hundred refugees back there again it's becoming a second we return to the camp after dark on route our taxi driver tells us about some of the problems. there are a lot of home break ins a lot of aggression they snatch women's handbags but no one talks about our own c.v. the migrants are everywhere in metz. at the camp we find out my current apparently facing aggression as well from certain community within the camp. not.

really. the problems why. do you fight this may take your money. as we speak with another man we're told to stop filming by security guards. people here are hiding from those who are looking for them in their own country. if we show their faces on t.v. you're putting their lives at risk we don't want journalists here. the worsening conditions and other issues both in and out of the camp more people continue to ride showing that even ski on t. ments. for boarding merrick's big trouble in venezuela this weekend huge weekend violent clashes a continue to wreak havoc ahead of the big vote on sunday about who's going to be responsible for rewriting the country's constitution just a case in point the situations deemed by air france for instance to be so severe right now it's council flights to caracas this weekend. or

as. up and with a country falling or so facing a constitutional crisis president madeira was called on venezuelans this weekend to elect a new body it'll be tasked with rewriting the current constitution that was set up one of the former president to go charges over five hundred representatives will be chosen from key groups in society but the initiatives angered the opposition big time they say it's simply a way of extending the president's powers we heard from both sides of the divide. the purpose is not all it's a right there comes a decision the purpose is to get rid of the national were to war with two thirds of the bow does precisely the reason and they have five percent of rejection of the regime sold the resources to the e.c.b.

go for it and unconstitutional obviously there's a presidential election in two thousand and eighteen were made during is going to be up for a vote the opposition is going to run for president regardless of the outcome of the constituent assembly it's an open democratic process the opposition can run their own candidates and they can participate in it but they have called to boycott it instead of taking part and if they have the majority as a state they do pick it easily run with a majority of constituents and change the constitution how they want to see a change instead of opposed a democratic process and called for violence in the streets of the response this is not of them. just not to try and do the demise of a little. and it. has been uncovered saying that they want to determine the outcome of the political process in venezuela they have long been funding to the tune of new orleans and millions and millions of u.s. taxpayer dollars to opposition parties to opposition movement no one wants us intervention even people members of the opposition that i spoke to do not want the the u.s. to intervene this is precisely they were. going to what you're going to eventually

is that only the united states now makes it go announce that the united kingdom the parliament why. last summer than twelve days. and seven minutes so that's a lot of the lives that it is people about fifteen hundred be wounded and we have almost two thousand people in jail the husband the price of a civic protests but it's this is just another lie that it's just a hunch certainly to justify foreign intervention in the country vast majority of those deaths that over one hundred deaths are caused by opposition violence over a dozen assassinations by opposition protesters against. people first of just for supporting the government i mean do you condemn those horrible political lynching surge you condemn those horrific political assassinations we are a peaceful opposition behold the whole world recognizes the european union is not

all of the united states trying to go on to say look at america the people. who have been so they say they are being killed by the by our own people thus are liberal always and i think it's very unfair to say it's exactly fifty minutes past one moscow time will iraq investigate claims of war crimes if the u.s. led coalition applies pressure we'll find ninety seconds from now we've got reaction from there after the break.

seems wrong. just don't. get to see. the attic. and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. again the u.s. led coalition surging iraq to publish the results of all investigations into allegations of war crimes committed by iraqi forces in the city of mosul it comes as rights groups intensified calls for washington to end its support for the

country's military here are some of the claims of abuse that human rights watch has documented in a recent report. a group of iraqi soldiers that for naked men down an alleyway after which they heard multiple gunshots. through the doorway of a damaged house the bodies of a number of naked men lying in the doorway they said one of the dead men was lying with his hands behind his back and appeared to have been handcuffed and there was a rope around his legs to sixteenth division soldiers to school did one observe and showed the seven head of with the soldiers said was an american female i says sniper who they had to cap it a did it was not clear whether they decapitated her alive or after her death the report claims that the executions were carried out by an iraqi unit that played a significant role in the liberation operation their member the security committee for the baghdad province told me that the u.s. should bear a degree at least of the responsibility as it trained those troops. problem is that

we are speaking of a close knit society people know each other as city as a large city but those who were and role devices are very well known within the city the people who were prosecuted by isis now are leading the sixteen division and basically they see it as payback time the sixteen division was formed by the united states trained by the united states and controlled by the united states so definitely if there is any human rights violation. it's very obvious that those who controlled or formed this division must understand all must pay some type of at least moral responsibility because i mean nobody here sympathizes with isis supporters or isis in numbers so but from

a legal point of view yes this is an issue that needs to be looked at. but the problem is with the atrocities of isis i find it very difficult to see that anybody would stand in the trial or would support the idea that isis should be given a fair trial because basically here in iraq if it or syria or any other place where isis is people understand these are not here member beings they should not be treated as such folks on the british prime minister trees amaze lost yet another of a top strategist she was also recently voted the u.k.'s most unpopular leader ever this stage of a premiership nonetheless despite the turmoil at home she's off to europe for a three week long holiday laugh the time she's had everybody needs a break polly boy takes up the story. the prime minister was meant to be getting away from it all but back in london yet another member of her senior team has

gotten away from her downing street now former director of strategy chris wilkens has quit this follows four other resignations of may's closest aides the prime minister has now been abandoned by the very people that helped set out her vision for brags that the choice is becoming ever more clear. me and my team with our eyes fixed on the future strong and stable leadership with me as prime minister to see us through brics it and beyond or a coalition of chaos but with the plans architects no longer in the picture to reason may is short of advise is at a time when she needs the most critically wounded prime minister she either disastrous election campaign an election campaign that she won since a twenty four percent or has and then losing this latest resignation of chris will cain is just not that example of part of the disastrous to even run though since the election rolling off the ship like rats i think. i've wounded government on the

wounded prime minister britain has less than two years to negotiate bragg's it on its current course but brussels is still waiting for clarification of the u.k. stance on key issues and to resume a struggles don't tend with brags that the scandal over the grenfell fire disaster rages on london's metropolitan police have now announced that local authorities are under suspicion of corporate manslaughter meanwhile to resume a has admitted the party has been wrong on gay rights in the pasta with may now being urged to compensate tens of thousands of men who had been convicted in the u.k. under anti-gay laws decades ago to reason may is now the most unpopular british leader one month after a general election opposition leader gerry corbin's fortunes have gone the all the

way his popularity is now thawing but despite talk of cabinet rifts and disagreements publicly to resume a senior ministers putting up a united front at least for now she goes into the election and we didn't get the majority she wanted but she won the most seats she won the most votes i think she will last they see no. a need for any more political coup for for what the british people want to see is a government that gets on with the job and they've got that with treason but in a sign that the party could be seeking to disassociate itself from its beleaguered leader to reason raise picture was removed from the conservative website although with the next two years expected to be dominated by tough talks with brussels perhaps the only thing keeping to reason may in the job is that no one else once set party boy k o r t london. us secretary of state's claim that

russia and china are partly to blame for north korea's recent missile tests. of us and says moscow and beijing are the principal economic enablers of pyongyang's weapons program and that the two countries have unique and special responsibility for the ongoing threat to regional stability thus far neither governments responded to that accusation but it comes after the north test fired that missile now into the sea of japan for the second time in a month shortly after the north korean test the u.s. and south korea their own joint missile exercise solve cari looking to increase its ballistic missile in response to the perceived threat from its neighbor the united states congress recently approved additional sanctions against north korea to a bill that also targets around and russia human rights attorney eric surat kid told us though that washington's not really figured out how best to deal with pyongyang yet. this is something that seems like saying to the administration or

sometimes to people around the world but really we have not tried anything new yet we have been caught in this entire circle of militarism of one thread versus another and bolstering up what the us does not seem to get on an ongoing basis is the failure to engage talk it took hundreds of meetings to end the. korean started it and the vietnam war it takes sitting and talking and a lot of effort to build a relationship and rebuild trust. now there's a thought we want to be a president even president seems to me time some time out to show if maybe the creative talent there for a sketch of the manhattan skyline by donald trump's been sold at auction to profit to five to twenty nine thousand dollars must be good and it's not the first world leader with a knack for find out. we proudly welcome you to
