here in the r.t. new center in moscow saturday evening at seven a lot to get through this hour not least of all the revolving door of pennsylvania avenue which is where we're going to start another major shakeup in donald trump's top team this time he's pushed out his chief of staff rents priebus typically the president announced it on twitter adding that homeland security secretary john kelly now had that job previous is the latest in just a string of high profile officials to head for the exits in the past six months a week ago of course the white house press secretary shoulder spicer he also abruptly left his position although that didn't really come as a complete surprise to a lot of people because he hadn't been appearing at briefings for quite some time however the dismissal of the f.b.i. director james comey back in may that did come as a major shock especially for 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. will serve while she was secretary of state but before that the national

security advisor michael fled he was forced to resign just weeks into the job over contacts with russia jacqueline 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 has barely gotten the ball rolling but there has been plenty of drama we're our strongest when we're unified. this is a bunch of scumbags. president was being small president it's not presidential at all. for this country. mr speaker to call for the impeachment of the president boy have they tried i mean every single thing 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 just 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 the cross 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 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 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
12:05 pm

12:09 pm
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 of receive 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 also coming from a migrant camp in northeast france china do better is there. alcohol violence and reports of rape that's the reality in this migrant camp that's being dubbed a humanitarian slum here 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 managed 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

12:12 pm
i. i i. i. i i. i i miss all the build up to sunday when venezuelans will decide whether they want changes to the country's legislative body from the very beginning the initiatives but i get the opposition which says it's simply a way of extending the president's power as we've been hearing from both sides of the divide. the purpose is not all it's a right there comes a delusion the purpose is to get rid of the nationalist were to war with two thirds
12:13 pm
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. gold. and unconstitutional 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 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. and we're just not to try and do the demise of a little. and it. has been uncovered by 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.
12:14 pm
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 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 of i believe 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 honestly 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 lynchings
12:15 pm
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 it's going to say let's in america the people who are being killed now whether they say they have been killed by the by our own people that's really rovers and i think it's very unfair to say. a man suspected of stabbing rampage in hamburg on friday is a known islamist according to german police the attack left one person dead and six others injured peter all of a 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 states 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
12:16 pm
a reference to religious motivations on the one hand and islamic motives but on the other hand there are also signs of psychological instability so. 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 why are 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
12:17 pm
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 unrest in east london over the death of a black man under arrest it's among the stories we've still got ahead for you here on r.t. . twenty twenty five years the smartest people in the world have left their industries and their disciplines join wall street as quantitative traders or money

12:20 pm
among those killed to 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 for his response but please be borne that we are about to show some images of graphic violence. 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
12:21 pm
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 hit by a rash staffed or 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 one street the demonstrators had gathered on friday evening to demand justice for 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 the u.k.
