joining us from a run the world this hour welcome to moscow and to r.t. international i'm you know good to have you with us our top story there has been another major shakeup in donald trump's top team this time he's part of his chief of staff priebus the president announced that on twitter that homeland security secretary jim kelly the job priebus is the latest in a string of high profile officials to head for the exit in the past six months but a week ago the white house press secretary shaun spicer also abruptly left his position about didn't come as a complete surprise to many as he hadn't been appearing at briefings for some time however at the dismissal of the f.b.i. director. komi back in may dig come as

a major shock one of the reasons trump gave for the out the season was the intelligence chiefs humbling of the probe into hillary clinton using a private e-mail server while secretary of state before that his national security adviser michael flynn was forced to resign over contacts with russian. next looks at how relationships in the white house are starting to resemble a very famous 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 are strongest when we're unified. this is a bunch of scumbags. president was being small president not presidential. but we've organized. this country. mr speaker to call for the
1:03 pm
impeachment of the president boy have they 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 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 the 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
1:04 pm
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 fleet 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
1:05 pm
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 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
1:06 pm
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. . to another headline stories this hour the french president failed an ambitious plan to rid the country of its migrant camps on to better accommodate refugees by b. end of the year mr mccraw plage came during a certainly welcoming some of france's newest citizens. 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

1:09 pm
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 is difficult to stop migrants from gathering in certain places. meanwhile reports of dire conditions are also coming from a migrant camp in northeast front sarti charlotte dubin ski 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

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 they've opposed 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 . 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 us intervention even people members of the opposition that i spoke to do not want the us 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
1:15 pm
almost two thousand people in jail as being the price of a civic protests but it's this is just another lie that it's just hans thinly 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 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 trying to go on to say look at america the people are being killed now. 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. suspected of a stabbing rampage in homburg on friday is
1:16 pm
a known islamist according to german police the attack left one person dead and six others injured picking up the story peter over. 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 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
1:17 pm
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 stopped 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 be 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 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 in seeing many people
