7:01 am
political you condemn those horrific political assassination of. our own people. to say. this saturday off. on the musical chairs in washington because barely a day seems to pass in the white house now without you control the sea level donald trump has announced that his chief of staff. will be replaced with the current secretary of homeland security john kerry and he's just the latest in a string of high profile officials to head for the exits in just the past six months alone a week ago the white house press secretary this guy sean spicer left his position didn't really come as much of a surprise to many because he hadn't been appearing at briefings for some time however the dismissal of the f.b.i.
7:02 am
director james comey back in may that did come as a major shock even one of the reasons that decision was his intelligence chief handling of the investigation into hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server when she was secretary of state before that his national security advisor michael flynn was forced to resign with weeks of taking up the job over alleged ties to russia. next then looks at how the relationships in the white house are 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. this country. mr speaker to call for the impeachment of the president or have they tried i mean
7:03 am
every single thing but i'm. not. one 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 want to 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 trying fluffer sessions has turned sour and lo and behold senator chuck schumer is 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
7:04 am
don't ridicule him in public apparently there's a thin line between love and hate and that line is basically just a few mean tweets 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 pleased it took guts for director comey 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.
7:05 am
bush was rammed 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
7:06 am
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. so it seems the rule of thumb in washington these days is to keep your enemies post and your friend in me is even closer at least until it's more beneficial to turn on the other party washington d.c. . police in the french quarter being accused of abusing migrants on a routine basis human rights watch reports that it's. quote like living in help for the asylum seekers the rights group says that pepper spray is being used on migrants in circumstances when they pose no threat police are also being accused of confiscating sleeping bags and clothing from the migrants while disrupting access to humanitarian aid the town's authorities say they don't want to return of the infamous refugee camp known as the jungle which was dismantled last year. but we don't want the jungle to reappear we don't want people to arrive in station here
7:07 am
that's why we've been added to the police already here sudanese ordinance in order to prevent the inflicts we've seen over the past few weeks from continuing to grow . to compound those fears the migrants are still arriving and kalai human rights watch says over four hundred now they're with other estimates as high as six hundred people about half of them are unaccompanied children police are warning that the growing numbers could lead to a repeat of the violence the town saw earlier. the old. french police admit they're struggling to cope with while the migrants themselves
7:08 am
say they feel abandoned by the authorities. to spend my six month in college and then the other one of them came and did this it to all the people you'll see in france going to men will give you a fair part in your work she had in there maybe build your life then the it separately in the process enough to know we are in the cease fire and not as an excuse for us it's all normal actually more we have about six hundred migrants here now and we're expecting more like there's a zero tolerance policy towards the settling of migrants and the reconstruction of the jungle with the mission of the police is clear that 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 which 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 now that
7:09 am
we have more work to do we've asked for reinforcements and have received them from the interior ministry our job is not at all easy it is difficult to stop migrants from gathering in certain places. meanwhile reports of die conditions are coming from a migrant camp in northeast france shiela do bensky is there. alcohol violence and reports of rape that's the reality in this migrant camp that's being dubbed a humanitarian slaughter hit in metz. the problem 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 over the number of people here in the camp has been dismantled several times but every time it's taken down the new people come in the camp is reformed locals formats are
7:10 am
concerned about its impact. this problem has to be addressed quickly for their sake as well as for us their suffering. the city of metz was not prepared for the count therefore 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 their own c.v. the migrants are everywhere in metz. at the camp we find out migrants apparently facing aggression as well from a certain community within the camp. not. really. the problems why. fight yes they take your money.
7:11 am
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 driscoll we don't want journalists here. despite the worsening conditions and other issues both in and out of the camp more people continue to arrive showing that even ski r.t. metz. elsewhere italy activists are holding a maritime protest to show solidarity with the migrants risking their lives to come to europe via the mediterranean sea the demonstrators assailing to the port of could tanya in sicily it's been chosen because the city's a starting point for mission called defend europe which is suspected of aiming to disrupt migrant rescue operations that group's been accused of being anti immigrant but it claims its aim is simply to prevent n.g.o.s working with people smugglers
7:12 am
italy is currently seeing record numbers of migrants landing on a children's goals in the ninety five thousand people of which the country since the beginning of this year alone. the u.s. led coalition is urging iraq to publish the results of all investigations into alleged war crimes committed by iraqi forces in the city of mosul it comes as rights groups intensify calls for washington to end its support for the country's military. there and been consistent reporting of the legend laws of armed conflict violations recently any violation of the law of armed conflict is unacceptable and should be an investigated in a transparent parent manner we meet routinely with our partner forces to advise them on the expectations for thorough and transparent investigations and accountability for anyone found responsible for abuses and public disclosure of findings and actions taken. human rights watch has documented the allegations of
7:13 am
abuse in mosul it claims that suspected members of his state's were executed without trial some of the victims were found beheaded children were reportedly among those killed as well it also says the iraqi army used bulldozers to bury the bodies on the rubble report claims of the executions were carried out by the sixteenth brigade of the iraqi army it played a significant role in the liberation of mosul the unit's been trained by the us military since twenty fifteen a security official in baghdad province so told us that the us beds some responsibility because it trained the soldiers in question. 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
7:14 am
united states trained by the united states and controlled by the united states so definitely if there's 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 of 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 and in iraq if it or syria or any other place where isis is people understand these are not here men being as they should
7:15 am
not be treated as such. as yet more trouble in venezuela violent clashes are continuing to wreak havoc ahead of sunday's crucial vote on who will be responsible for rewriting the country's constitution as an indicator of just how serious this is seemed air france has canceled all flights to caracas this weekend. with the country finding itself facing a constitutional crisis president maduro has called on venezuelans to elect a new body it'll be tasked with rewriting the current constitution set out under former president hugo chavez over five hundred representatives will be chosen from key groups in society however the initiative has angered the opposition they say it's simply
7:16 am
a way of extending the president's powers we've heard from both sides of the divide . purpose is not all it's a right there comes a decision the purpose is to get rid of the national were to reward with two thirds of the bo does precisely the reason and they have now but they did five percent of rejection of the regime sold the resources to the c.b. go. in unconstitutional 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 they say 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
7:17 am
of the political process in venezuela they have long been funding to the tune of millions and millions and millions of u.s. taxpayer dollars to opposition parties to opposition movements no one wants us intervention even people members of the opposition that i spoke to do not want the us to intervene this is precisely. 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 you know people about fifteen hundred be wounded and we have almost two thousand people in jail the husband the price of a civic protest 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 would be one hundred deaths are caused by opposition violence
7:18 am
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 are being killed now they 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 a death in police custody has sparked clashes in london i'll have the details of that for you and all of these world news continues in just a couple of minutes. when else truths seem wrong. why don't we just don't. let me. get to shape out these days atika. and in detroit equals betrayal.

police brutality in london has resulted in clashes with police. protesters gathered on friday evening to demand justice for a twenty year old man who died in police custody last week rally began near the place where the man was arrested police in riot gear were deployed challenging the protest as they responded by throwing bottles and final works. of staying with the u.k. prime minister to resign. top strategists she was also recently voted britain's most unpopular leader ever at this stage of a premiership nonetheless despite the turmoil at home she's off in europe for a three week long break well everyone needs a holiday when he 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
7:21 am
gotten away from her downing street now former director of strategy chris wilkens has quit this follows four of the resignations of may's closest aides the prime minister has now been abandoned by the very people that helped set out a vision for brags that the choice is becoming ever more clear. with our eyes fixed on the future strong and stable leadership with me as prime minister to see as 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 a devises at a time when she needs the most critically wounded prime minister she either disastrous election campaign election campaign that she won since a twenty four percent ahead 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
7:22 am
the election rolling off the ship like rats i think that this is a wounded government and 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.'s stance on key issues and to resume a struggles don't end 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 j. admiral election opposition leader gerry corbin's fortunes have gone the all
7:23 am
the way his popularity is now sawing but despite talk of cabinet rifts and disagreements publicly to resume a senior ministers of 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 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 resign may's 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 resume a in the job is that no one else wants it polly boyko r.t. london. next the us secretary of state has claimed that russia and china are
7:24 am
partly to blame for north korea's recent missile test. rex tillerson says moscow and beijing of the principal economic enablers of pyongyang's weapons program and that the two countries have a unique and special responsibility for the ongoing threat to regional stability and the the government's so far responded to that accusation that comes after the north testified a missile into the sea of japan for the second time this month. shortly after the north korean tests the u.s. and south korea held their own joint missile exercise seoul is currently looking to increase its ballistic missile firepower in response to the perceived threat from its neighbor the united states congress recently approved additional sanctions against north korea in a bill that also targets iran and russia human rights attorney eric surat can told
7:25 am
us however that washington has not figured out how to deal with pyongyang. you know 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 u.s. does not seem to get on an ongoing basis is the failure to engage talk it took hundreds of meetings to end the. korean i'm sorry that and the vietnam war it takes sitting and talking and a lot of effort to build relationships rebuild trust. and now even presidents need some me time some time out to show off their other creative talents and so now
