over a hole in the white house donald trump places his chief of staff with the homeland security secretary we'll look at all the turbulence and infighting the current u.s. administration has seen so far. also coming up this hour the french president promises to rid the country of refugee camps to better accommodate migrants make claims police are abusing people returning to the sites of the notorious former. german police admit the suspect in a stabbing it. on friday islamist failed asylum seekers.

a very warm welcome to our international my names you don't know me your company there has been a major shake trumps top team this time he's pushed on his chief of staff priebus and as you might have guessed the president announced it all on twitter that homeland security secretary john kelly the job is the latest in a string of high profile officials to head for the exit in the past six months or so when we know that a week ago the white house press secretary shaun spicer also abruptly left his position that didn't come as a complete surprise to many as he hadn't been appearing at briefings for some time however the dismissal of the f.b.i. director james comey back in may did come as a major shock. one of the reasons trump gave for

a vote the citizen was the intelligence chiefs of the probe into hillary clinton using a private e-mail server while secretary of state and before that his national security advisor michael flynn was forced to resign over contacts with russian. relationships in the white house and how they're starting to resemble a notable 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. this country. mr speaker to call the impeachment of the president or have they i mean every single thing.

when i finish 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's 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 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 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 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 what is trump's 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 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. . the french president has unveiled. to rid the country of its migrant counts on to better accommodate refugees by the end of the year mr mark rowlands plage came during a search of money 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 housing is built to welcome them i want administrative steps for their cases to be

examined well from struggle with refugee camps for years in fact migrants are still arriving at the signs of the infamous former jungle camp in the port of kali which was dismantled last year human rights watch say there were four hundred people are now there but other estimates say it could be up to six hundred around a half of them are on the company children police are warning it could lead to repeat of the violent scene there in recent times. ah. ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah. ah ah ah. ah ah ah ah ah or. one. or well as the refugees return to cali again human rights watch is accusing police there of

abusing migrants on a routine basis the scribing it was quote like living in hell the rights groups pepper sprays used on migrants and even in circumstances when they pose no threat police are also accused of confiscating sleeping bags and clothing from the migrants while disrupting access to humanitarian aid. when the police admit they are struggling to cope well the migrants say they feel abandoned 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 we'll give you a 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 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 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's difficult to stop migrants from gathering in certain places. you know all reports of dire conditions are also coming from a migrant camp in northeast friends or to charlotte dubin ski is there. alcohol violence and reports of rape that's the reality in this migrant camp that's being dubbed a humanitarian slot here in metz. the problem there

is a problem with alcohol and violence even as a major were cafe's 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 the camp has been dismantled several times but every time it's taken down new people come and the camp is reformed locals ferments are concerned about its impact. this problem has to be addressed quickly and for their sake as well as for us there suffer in. the city of metz was not prepared for the count the authorities emptied 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 that on

t.v. the migrants are everywhere in metz. at the camp we found out my quince apparently facing aggression as well from certain community within the camp. where. i really got the problems why. the fights yes they take your money there. 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 countries 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. another big story of the week a man suspected of

a stabbing rampage in hamburg on friday is a known islamist that is according to german police the attack left one person dead and half a dozen others injured peter all of our has been following developments for us 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 a reference to religious motivations on the one hand islamic motives but on the other hand there are also signs of psychological instability us 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's. suffering injuries from which he died while i was drinking god 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 stab three more people he was shouting aloud 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 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 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. with the white house signaling that donald trump is ready to sign off on the anti russia sanctions bill america's top diplomat has explained the thinking behind the legislation rex tillerson sees moscow should take greater steps to get relations back on track the near unanimous votes for the sanctions legislation in congress represent the strong will of the american people to see russia take steps to improve relations with the united states we hope that there will be cooperation between our two countries on major global issues and these sanctions will no longer be necessary. well there's been a response russia had with country measures on friday it told the united states to

cut the number of diplomatic stuff it has in the country by the first of september most schools so said it would cease to u.s. diplomatic property starting next month and that includes a warehouse in the size of moscow with a hefty or you more than two thousand square meters u.s. diplomats will also be stopped from using the riverside retreat located in one of the capital's parks it was used by staff members for leisure and barbecue get togethers. meanwhile the russian embassy in the u.s. has puzzled by secretary to lucian statements on the sanctions it sais that washington has failed to realize that pressure isn't working in relations with moscow let's discuss all of that now with charles or to lose a private investor right or hi there charles yes so one of the situations here we have. sanctions good incentive to improve relations not what's really what we're

hearing from rex tillerson your thoughts. well there's a reason they selected him as our top diplomat and. i think you know when you cut through all this the tit for tat sanctions really started under the obama administration and what people have to understand for inside the united states and outside the united states is that for so long is there is a special counsel robert muller who has the power to take an investigation and the resources financial resources to take an investigation wherever he wants to take it sitting members of even our house and senate are going to be in the executive branch are going to be quite nervous about doing anything that makes it look as if they favor russia so i think unfortunately the president was maneuvered into a place where he had to go house and senate was maneuvered into a place train where they had to get this bill passed and now we're donald trump will have to sign it when we you know take

a gigantic step back from the abyss of this discourse i mean i think it's important to realize that the united states internal market is by far and away the largest consumer market in the world by a factor of like four times. and so it's a very important market for every country it's a market that rushes to want to sell into equally russia is a potential very important strategic partner to the united states and to other allies that wish to stamp out your previous story radical islamism around the world so i mean i think we're in a place a dangerous place i like to see them all investigation particularly now that mr browder testified to believe yesterday that he's claiming that this crazy dossier which i think most people believe is false. it may actually have been paid for by one element of the russian government so it's sort of her posture is to believe you know based on what we know today that russia was trying to influence even the two

thousand and sixteen election against trump because i mean it's just yet where we are right. it is in a place where the most response to this charles of course moscow is saying that this type of pressure is not working and indicated that it could use more kuntar measures so we're we're again left with less diplomacy more hostility what kind of reaction did washington expect in your opinion well you know i would like you know i'm very proud to be an american and there are many good things about our country but we think about american foreign policy from like one nine hundred forty five forward. it's tough to find many great examples of what we've accomplished so what the american forces foreign policy establishment expected what they're trying to do you know i think it's time for a total and complete overhaul of how we conduct our international business or governmental international business and as i said you know as far as sanctions are concerned one could argue that the sanctions regime that we put in place against

iran even against north korea gets tiny economy is has not really worked all that well so you know sanctions against the u.s. economy are certainly not going to work and russia is a very large economy there ways around all kinds of economic sanctions so i think we need to you know let this spectacle play out but i hope in private there are back channels of responsible grounded powerful people who are thinking through how to move our joint relations to a new place where we can be constructive together charles or tell private investor and writer thanks for taking the time this hour. or years ahead in order to international right after this. something seems wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just to. educate and engage with equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose 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 the media the media the voters elect the businessman to run this country business if. you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before.

you're back with our to international the u.s. led coalition is now urging iraq to investigate claims of war crimes committed by its military that's after a number of human rights organizations called on washington to end its backing of one army unit in particular. there have been consistent reporting of allegedly 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 thorough and transparent investigations and accountability for anyone found responsible for abuses and public disclosure of findings and actions taken well here are some of the claims of abuse that human rights watch has documented the watchdog has reported that suspected members of islam mixtape were executed without trial summer fun beheaded children among those

killed some observers say the iraqi army used bulldozers to bury the bodies under rubble we put those allegations to a member of the province security committee a warning some of the images ahead are disturbing. problem is that we are speaking of a close knit society people know each other and 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 ices now are leading the sixteen division and basically they see it as a 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 annual tank by all flown competition kicked off near moscow as part of the international army games initiated by russia but for the next two weeks nineteen countries will be competing in events based on speed and accuracy to decide the winner the games are not only a chance to show off your country's military might but also an opportunity to judge combat readiness games will be held. by john bell or. with the final schedule for the twelfth of august. something
