those horrific political assassinations. killed. our own people. say. saturday's three pm here in moscow. from international stop trying to get a state on the merry go round of pennsylvania avenue because many a day seems to pass within the white house with that new controversy. donald trump is announcing his chief of staff prince rebus will step down to be replaced by this man homeland security secretary john kelly think he's just the latest in a string of high profile officials to head for the exit in the six months a week ago of course it was this guy sean spicer he called it a day didn't come as much of a surprise to many people because he hadn't been appearing in briefings for quite some time however it was the. the f.b.i.

director james comey back in may that did come as a major shock especially for him one of the reasons for that decision was the intelligence chief handling of the investigation into hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server while she was secretary of state before that with his national security adviser michael flynn he was forced to resign over alleged ties to russia. looks now at how relationships in the white house are starting to resemble those in 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. that we've organized in rowdy this country. mr speaker to call for the impeachment of the president boy have they tried i mean
8:03 am
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 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 trump's love for sessions has turned sour and lo and behold under 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
8:04 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. bush was slammed by the press and seen as one of the worst american presidents
8:05 am
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 schizophrenia what is trump saying we were against it it's like that groucho marx songs is whatever you're for i'm against it
8:06 am
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 . 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 port of calif being accused of abusing migrants on a routine basis human rights watch reports that it's quote. like living in hell for the asylum seekers 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 a return of the infamous refugee camp known as the jungle which was dismantled last year. but we don't want the jungle to repeat here we don't want people to arrive in
8:07 am
stay here that's why we've been added to the six 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 migrants are still arriving in cal a human rights watch says over four hundred are now there with other estimates as high as six hundred people about half of them are on a company children and police are warning that the growing numbers could lead to a repeat of the violence the town so rarely. police admit they're struggling to cope while the migrants say they feel abandoned
8:08 am
by the authorities. i spent my six month in college and one of them came and did this it to all the people you'll see in france will give you a fair part of. what you had in your life then separately in the process and after . the cease. for us. 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 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 an attacker's that creates tensions now that we have more work to do we've asked for reinforcements and i've received them from
8:09 am
the interior ministry i would job is not at all easy it is difficult to stop migrants from gathering in certain places. meanwhile reports of dire conditions are coming from a migrant camp in northeast france. alcohol of violence and reports of rape that's the reality in this migrant camp that's being dubbed a humanitarian slum hit in metz. the problem there is a problem with alcohol and violence even as the 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 and the camp is reformed locals ferments are concerned about its impact.
8:10 am
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 therefore it is empty but now there are seven hundred refugees back there again it's becoming a second calais 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 my clients apparently facing aggression as well from certain community within the camp. where not. only. their problems why in the world. fights this they take your money. as we speak with another man we're told to stop filming
8:11 am
by security guards. people here are hiding from those who are looking for them in their own country. if you 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. in ski r.t. mats elsewhere in italy activists are holding a maritime demonstration to show solidarity with the migrants risking their lives by crossing the mediterranean the protesters are sailing to the port of qatar in sicily that's because the city is a starting point for a sea mission called defend europe which aims to prevent illegal immigration while the group behind the controversial operation is accused by many of being anti migrant it claims that n.g.o.s are working with people smugglers and that it just wants to monitor them it's a of course is currently seeing a record number of migrants landing on the shores only ninety five thousand people

have reached 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. 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 in public disclosure findings and actions taken as we've been reporting on r.t. human rights watch has been documenting the allegations of abuse in mosul it claims
8:13 am
that suspected members of his learning state were executed without trial some of the victims were found beheaded children were reportedly among those killed to it also says the iraqi army used bulldozers to bury the bodies of the rubble the report claims the executions were carried out by the sixteenth brigade of the iraqi army it played a significant role in the liberation of mosul that unit's been trained by the u.s. military since twenty fifteen a security official in baghdad province told us the u.s. bears some responsibility because it trained the soldiers in question. problem is that we are speaking of a close knit society people know each other city is 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
8:14 am
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 in iraq if it or syria or any other place where isis is people understand that these are not here member beings they
8:15 am
should not be treated as such. violent clashes are continuing to wreak havoc in venezuela ahead of sunday's crucial vote on who will be responsible for rewriting the constitution but one indication of how severe this is being regarded france has canceled all flights to caracas this weekend. i think. with the country finding itself facing a constitutional crisis president maduro has called on venezuelans to elect a new body it will 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 initiatives angered the opposition they say it's simply a way of extending the president's powers we've been hearing from both sides of the divide. the purpose is not all it's a right there comes
8:16 am
a decision the purpose is to get rid of the nationalists on the we're to war 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 oppose the 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 u.s. to intervene this is precisely they were. going to what you called intervention 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 protest but it's this is just another lie that it's just a hunch thinly 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
