headlining now and i'm also seeing an overhaul in the white house donald trump replaces his chief of staff with the homeland security secretary we look at all the turbulence and in fighting the current u.s. administration it's seen so far. also this hour the french president promises to rid the country of refugee camps to better accommodate migrants amid claims police are abusing people who are returning to the site of the notorious jungle. and german police admit the suspect in the stabbing attack in hamburg on friday is a known and failed asylum seeker the details this hour.

there were if you're watching this is r.t. international money five pm saturday afternoon here in moscow we're going to start with the white house musical chairs first of all there's been another major shakeup in donald trump's top team and this time he's pushed out his chief of staff reince priebus typically the president announced it on twitter adding that homeland security secretary john kelly now had the job of course is the latest in a string of high profile officials to head for the exits in the past six months a week ago of course it was the white house press secretary sean spicer he abruptly left his position that didn't come as a complete surprise to many though because he hadn't been appearing at briefings for some time however the dismissal of the f.b.i. director james komi back in may did come as a major shock especially to him and one of the reasons that trump gave for that decision was the intelligence chief handling of the probe into hillary clinton using a private e-mail server while she was secretary of state before that of course it

was national security adviser michael flynn he was forced to resign within weeks of taking on the job over contacts with russia. looks at how 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. 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 but 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 thunder 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 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 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 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 it just depends because this isn't about platform is 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 . our t. washington d.c. . next the french president some filed an ambitious plan to rid the country of its migrant camps to better accommodate refugees by the end of this year this time across pledge came during a ceremony welcoming france's newest citizens in the city of all evil. let me. the first battle is to house everybody in a dignified manner by the end of the year i will know more women and men in the streets in the woods last it's a question of dignity a question of humanity but also the fish and see everywhere with the emergency housing is built to welcome them i want administrative steps for their cases to be examined. francis struggled with refugee camps for years of course in fact migrants are still arriving at the site of the former infamous jungle camp which is in the

port of cali in the north that was dismantled last year but human rights watch says over four hundred people are now there other estimates say could be as many as six hundred about half of them unaccompanied children police are warning that it could lead to a repeat of the violent scene there in recent years. as the refugees return to cali again human rights watch is accusing police there of the be using migrants on a routine basis describing it as quote living in hell the rights group says the pepper sprays big used on migrants even in circumstances when they pose no threat

police are also being accused of confiscating sleeping bags and clothing from the migrants or disrupting their access to humanitarian aid the police there admit that they are struggling to cope while the migrants say they feel abandoned by the authorities. to spend my six month intelligence. and this it to all the people you'll see in france will give you fair farm. work yet in your life then separately in the process enough to know you're in the service. for us all normal actually 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 the interior ministry i would job is not at all easy it's difficult to stop migrants from gathering in certain places. meanwhile reports of dire conditions are also coming from a migrant camp in northeast for a child to do by the skin is their. alcohol 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 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 or the number of people here in the camp has been dismantled several times but

every time it's taken down a new people come in the camp is reformed locals formats 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 balance heavey the migrants everywhere are immense. at the camp we found out my quince apparently facing aggression as well from a certain community within the camp. were not. only. the

problems why in the world during the fights yes they take your money there. as we speak with another man we're told to stop filming by security guards one of the 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. ments. violent clashes are continuing to wreak havoc in venezuela ahead of sunday's crucial vote on who will be responsible for rewriting the constitution perhaps an indication of how severe this is being regarded elsewhere air france has canceled all flights to caracas this weekend.

on sunday venezuelans will decide whether they want changes to the country's legislative body from the very beginning the initiatives being angering the opposition which says 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 a douche and the purpose is to get rid of the nationalists on the we're 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. and 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've 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 they've opposed a democratic process and called for violence in the streets of the response this is not of them. and we're just not trying to legitimize it for a little and. and the. cia 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 u.s. 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 really this is just another lie that it's just a hunch certainly to justify foreign intervention in the country the 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 lynchings

third you can damn those horrific political assassinations we are a peaceful opposition they hold the whole world. is not all of the united states trying to go on to say look at america the people are being killed now. they are being killed by the by our old people. and i think it's very unfair to say. a man suspected of a stabbing rampage in hamburg on friday is a known islamist according to german police the attack left one person dead and six others injured in a supermarket peter oliver has more of the story. well as we find out more information about what unfolded on friday evening in hamburg we've heard from the interior minister of that city state he's described the assailant he's in custody as a known islamised. the suspect was known to authorities there are indications of

radicalization as for the motive there is a reference to religious motivations on the one hand and islamic motives but on the other hand there are also signs of psychological instability. we do know though is exactly what he did he went into the store he took a kitchen knife from one of the displays in the supermarket opened it from its packing packaging and then attacked people who with their not attack led to a fifty year old man suffering injuries from which he died while i was drinking coffee when i saw a young man approaching the area he pushed one person off the bike and then stabbed another one near a car and then three more people he was shouting. and brandishing a knife and after that he tried to run away the fact that this suspect was known to police was known to authorities as having connections to radical. islamic groups is certainly going to raise questions if we cast our minds back to the end of last

year and the horrific terrorist attack that took place in berlin whereby a truck was driven into a christmas market that the perpetrator was also known to police as well so questions are going to be raised over just what it means to be on one of these watch lists what we do know that the main suspect the person that was arrested at the scene is a failed asylum applicant which is in turn turning questions again towards angola merkel's policy when it comes to refugees and migrants and seeing many people criticizing her government again for that policy there's been an arrest in east london over the death of a black man under arrest it's among the story still ahead on r.t. . in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around.

preparation washington washington media the media and the. voters elect. to run this country business because. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. every the. period. according to josh.

and over again the u.s. led coalition is now urging iraq to investigate claims of war crimes committed by its military it's after a number of human rights organizations called on washington to end its backing of the iraqi army unit there and been consistent reporting of allegedly laws of armed conflict violations recently any violation of the law of armed conflict is unacceptable and should be in it investigated in a transparent parent manner we meet routinely with our partner forces to advise them on the expectations for throwing transparent investigations and accountability for anyone found responsible for abuses and public disclosure of findings and actions taken here are some of the claims of abuse that human rights watch has documented the watchdog has reported that suspected members of islamic state were

executed without trial some were found beheaded children found among those killed to some observers say the iraqi army used the bulldozers to try and bury the bodies on the rubble we put these allegations to a member of the baghdad province security committee for his response they will know that some of the images you're about to see are disturbing. 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 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 of numbers so but from a legal point of view yes this is an issue that needs to be looked at the. streets of london have been hit by unrest after a protest over the death of a black man resulted in clashes with police. the protesters were seen throwing fireworks at the police who attempted to disperse the crowd several bins were also set on fire in the middle of a street demonstrators have gathered on friday evening to demand justice for the twenty year old black man who died after being arrested last week a rally began near the place where the man was apprehended an independent

commission investigating the. same with the u.k. though prime minister to resign may's last yet another of her top strategists she's also recently voted britain's most unpopular leader ever at this stage of a premiership nonetheless despite the turmoil at home she's enjoying a three week long break in europe well i guess everybody needs a holiday party boy has 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 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 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 ahead and then losing this latest resignation of chris wilker is just not that example of part of the disastrous to. the election running off the ship like rats i think the. wounded government or 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 the local authorities are

under suspicion of corporate manslaughter meanwhile to resume a has admitted the party has been wrong on gay rights in the ponced 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 the way his popularity is now soaring but despite talk of cabinet rifts and disagreements publicly to resign may's senior ministers a 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 in the job is that no one else wants it polly boyko r.t. london. one for our lovers now a sketch of the manhattan skyline by donald trump has been sold at auction for guess what twenty nine thousand dollars for his he's not the first world leader either to try and show that he's a dab hand at drawing take a look. we proudly welcome you to a gallery of some of the most extraordinary out pieces ever produced here you can see the new york skyline and in the center it's trump tower standing tall and proud like i'll let you interpret that one this is a classic example of the work of donald trump the original piece was sold for over

twenty nine thousand dollars it's amazing that great is that god ever created by a genius next is a very reflective self-portrait by george w. bush you can visit an exhibition of his other works for just sixty five dollars it's a perfect psychological journey of self reflection a chance to wash away your problems historians look back and say gosh we could have done it better this way or that way. moving on to our next piece on a popular doodle by barack obama representing for us senate is the piece was snapped up the two thousand dollars i get. i and finally the jewel in our collection purchased for over six hundred thousand dollars and if you fancy brushing up on your painting skills you can join an open class with the artist himself trying to think through.

what. i. wherever you're watching us thanks for choosing us to get your news at this hour get in touch as well tell us what you think we're on facebook and twitter that this is out. there with the with me and let it go they can all those get a little bit below as. well said the lawyer but i. but. it was. just he refused to omit the city.

where they. won't get a good area for him and it's this we never really know for sure but this has been a active area. and. when i started my. economic development is all about really pleased to report this quarter we are one hundred six mourning. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think that there are c.e.o. mike do. over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart is that c.n.n. with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. it is

not just you know a free market would. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and they're all in debt and what exactly divided society from the part of the government tried to do that nicely. it might be making things worse . by saying this is not work this is. hopelessly disastrously wrong. i am a scratch or this is the guy's report look i got the evidence write a check it.
