in moscow thanks for choosing six pm on saturday let's start with the revolving door on pennsylvania avenue there's been yet another major shake up in a top team this time he's pushed out his chief of staff reince priebus typically the president announced on twitter adding that instead homeland security secretary john kelly now had that job and priebus is just the latest in a string of high profile officials to head for the exit in the past six months alone because a week ago the white house press secretary sean spicer he abruptly left his position and that didn't come as a complete surprise to a lot of people because he had been appearing at briefings for quite some time now however it was the dismissal of the f.b.i. director james comey back in may that did come as a shock especially for him and one of the reasons that for that decision was that the intelligence chief handling of the probe into hillary. into news in
11:02 am
a private e-mail while she was secretary of state before that he was his national security advisor michael flynn forced to resign within weeks of taking on the job of a contacts with russia 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 u.s. presidency it hasn't 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 is not presidential. for this country. mr speaker to call for the impeachment of the president boy have they i mean every single thing when i'm.
11:03 am
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 transfer 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 trumps law 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 don't ridicule him in public apparently there's a thin line between love and hate and that line is basically just
11:04 am
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 that 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
11:05 am
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 they're schizo phrenic 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 sort of my conviction is not about ideology it's about personality we have two parties in this country. and.
11:06 am
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. . the french president bush's plan to rid the country of its migrant camps and to better accommodate refugees by the end of the you must across pledge came during a ceremony welcoming france's newest citizens in the city of all evil. let me know but the first battle is to house everybody in a dignified manner by the end of the year i will know more women than 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 because francis struggled with refugee camps for years in fact migrants are still arriving at the site of the former infamous jungle camp in the port of

kalai which was dismantled last year human rights watch says there are now more than four hundred people there some estimates say could be as many as six hundred about half of them unaccompanied children and police are warning that it could lead to a repeat of the violence seen there in recent years. well as the refugees return to cali again human rights watch is accusing police there of abusing migrants on a routine basis describing it as quote like living in hell the right group says pepper sprays big used on migrants even in circumstances where they pose no threat
11:08 am
the police are also being accused of confiscating sleeping bags and clothing from the migrants while disrupting access to their humanitarian aid. the police admit that they are struggling to cope while the migrants say they feel abandoned by the authorities. to spend my six month intelligence came and did this it to all the people you'll see in france will give you fair farm. work yet build your life then separately in the process enough to know you're in the seas. 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 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
11:09 am
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 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 is difficult to stop migrants from gathering in certain places. meanwhile reports of dire conditions are also coming from a migrant camp in northeast france john to do bensky is there. 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 over
11:10 am
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 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 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 balance heavey the migrants are everywhere are immense. at the camp we find out my quince apparently facing aggression as well from a certain community within the camp. where not. only. the
11:11 am
problems why. during the fights this may take your money. as we speak with another man we're told to stop filming by security guards. 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 driskell 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. at even ski r.t. mats. next 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 one indication of how severe this is being regarded elsewhere air france and iberia alliance have canceled all flights to caracas this weekend.
11:12 am
i. i. i. i. i. i. on sunday venezuelans will be deciding whether they want changes to the country's legislative body from the very beginning this initiatives angered 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
11:13 am
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 now but they did 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 in 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. not to try and do the demise for a little. and it. has been uncovered saying that they want to determine the outcome
11:14 am
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 the regime. 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 protest but it's really this is just another lie that is just hans thinly to justify foreign intervention in the country vast majority of those deaths that would be one hundred deaths are caused by opposition violence over a dozen assassinations by opposition protesters against. people first of just for
11:15 am
supporting the government i mean do you condemn those horrible political lynchings third you condemn those horrific political assassinations we are a peaceful opposition the whole of the whole world recognizes the european union is not all of the united states twenty eight going to see a lot in america the people are being killed now. they say they are being killed by the by our own people that's really rovers and i think it's very unfair to say. man suspected of carrying out 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 all of that has more on 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
11:16 am
radicalization as for the motive there is a reference to religious motivations on the one hand 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 this store he took a kitchen knife from one of the displays in the supermarket opened it from its packaging and then attacked people who were there that 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 a bike and then stabbed another one near a car and then stopped three more people he was shouting allahu akbar 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
11:17 am
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 angela merkel's policy when it comes to refugees and migrants and seeing many people criticizing her government again for that policy. there's been unrest in east london over the death of a black man and the rest it's among the stories still ahead off.
11:18 am
seemed wrong wrong just don't. get to shape out. the ticket and it. equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground. in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is built around. corporations from washington to washington post media that. voters elected a businessman to run this country business it. must it's not business as
11:19 am
usual it's business like it's never been done before. today's world news now i'm 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 colon washington and its backing of one army unit in particular. there have 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 in 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
11:20 am
findings and actions taken here are some of the claims of abuse that human rights watch has documented what still gets reported that suspected members of islamic state were executed without trial some were found beheaded children were among those killed some observers say the iraqi army used bulldozers to bury the bodies on the rubble and we put these allegations to a member of the baghdad province acuity committee of his response we must warn you though that some of the images you're about to see are upsetting to watch. 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 these 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
11:21 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 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 had by an rushed after a protest over the death of a black man resulted in clashes with police. i think. some of 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 the demonstrators had gathered on friday evening to demand justice for
11:22 am
a twenty year old black man who died after being restrained by an officer a week ago the rally began near the place where the man was apprehended an independent commission is investigating his death. staying with news from the u.k. and prime minister to resign may's lost yet another top strategist 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 currently enjoying a three week break in europe i guess everybody needs a holiday it takes up a 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 television for brags that the choice is becoming ever more clear. with our eyes fixed on the future strong and
11:23 am
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 a devises at a time when she needs the most critically wounded prime minister she either disastrous election campaign and 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 run though since the election rolling off the ship like rats i think that this is a 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
