know me welcome to the program our top story donald trump has dismissed his chief of staff writes priebus in the latest shake up of the white house team as usual the president broke the news on twitter announcing that homeland security secretary john kelly. the job a week ago the white house press secretary sean spicer also abruptly left his position and had been widely expected as he had not been appearing at briefings for some time however at the dismissal of the f.b.i. director james cole me bach in may did come to shock one of the reasons trump gave for the season was the intelligence chiefs hunting of the probe into hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server while secretary of state and before the national security advisor michael flynn was forced to. zein over his contacts with russia just look
6:02 pm
at how relationships in the white house are starting to resemble a notable t.v. drama between senate investigations and twitter wars the current u.s. presidency 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
6:03 pm
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 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 law 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 the 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 that
6:04 pm
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 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
6:05 pm
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 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
6:06 pm
turn the other party washington d.c. . the french president has unveiled a. plan to rid the country of its make shift migrant bed. accommodate refugees by the end of this year. the first battle is to house everybody in a dignified manner by the end of the year i will no 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 administered two steps for their cases to be examined. well last year french police dismantle the country's most notorious refugee camp the so-called jungle in cali but human rights watch say's more than four hundred people are still there living out in the open about a half of them are on the company children the area is used as a launching point for crossing to the u.k.
6:07 pm
. the for the law or. the. or or. less the refugees returned to calif human rights watch has accused police of abusing migrants on a routine basis the rights groups say the situation is quote like living in hell pepper spray is apparently used on migrants even when they pose no threat police are also accused of confiscating sleeping bags and clothing from the migrants while disrupting access to humanitarian aid and the police admit they're struggling to cope while the migrants say they feel abandoned by the authorities. it's been my
6:08 pm
six month intelligence there that one of them came and this is to all the people you'll stay in france will give you a fair part of the work you have to build your life then the it separately in the process enough to know we are in the seats. 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 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 of receive them from the interior ministry i would job is not at all easy it is difficult to stop migrants
6:09 pm
from gathering in certain places. meanwhile reports of dire conditions are also coming from a migrant camp in north east france their forests charlotte dubinsky alcohol of violence and reports of rape that's the reality in this migrant camp that's being dubbed a humanitarian slaughter if. there is a problem with alcohol and violence even us and they do work our face 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 the number of people here the camp is been dismantled several times but every time it's taken down the 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 as well. there suffer in
6:10 pm
. 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 their own c.v. the migrants are everywhere in metz. at the camp we find out my quince apparently facing aggression as well from certain community within the camp. not. really. the problems why. do you fight yes they take your money. as we speak with another man we're told to stop filming by security guards. people here are hiding from those who are looking for them in
6:11 pm
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 showing that even ski r.t. metz the suspect in friday's stabbing rampage in homburg is a known islamist according to german police the attack left one person dead and six others injured following the developments for us artie's 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
6:12 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. 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 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
6:13 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 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. the u.s. secretary of state has explained the thinking behind the latest sanctions bill against russia after the white house said president trump is ready to approve the legislation. the near unanimous vote 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
6:14 pm
between our two countries are major global issues and these sanctions will no longer be necessary russia had back with countermeasures on friday the foreign ministry told the united states to cut the number of diplomatic staff in the country by the first of september moscow also said it would cease to u.s. diplomatic properties of the includes a warehouse in the south of moscow with an area of 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 you know of the russian embassy in the u.s. is puzzled by secretary tillerson statement on the sanctioned it says that washington has failed to realize that pressure is not working in relations with moscow former british diplomat craig murray thinks it's a bizarre attempt at sending a positive message it's not the most logical thing to say we want to improve
6:15 pm
relations therefore we are imposing sanctions to be fair to to listen he's slightly less crazy than many of the people involved in american politics senior level that's not a very high bar but he is slightly less crazy and i think he his statement was trying to be diplomatic and lessen the impact and be less insulting to russia than the he might otherwise have been i think that's why you have a logical statement explaining these sanctions to which was not really any sensible justification at all riots or broken i don't eat enough story and more in about ninety seconds time.
6:16 pm
here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's the law and. the only show i go out of my way to the times you know what it is that really packs a punch. yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is saying we are apparently better than the blue. sea people you never heard of love jack tonight president of the world bank so take. seriously send us an email.

6:18 pm
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. me in my tea with our eyes fixed on the future strong and stable leadership with me as prime minister to see as through bricks edge 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 an election campaign that she won since a twenty four percent or has and then losing this latest resignation of chris will
6:19 pm
cain is just not an example of part of the disastrous to go since the election rolling off the ship like rats i think that they see i've 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 bragg's it the scandal over the grenfell fire disaster rages on london's metropolitan police have now announced that local authorities are under suspicion of corporate manslaughter meanwhile to resume a has admitted the party has been wrong on gay rights in the pasta 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
6:20 pm
a general election opposition leader gerry corbin's fortunes have gone the all of the way his popularity is now snoring but despite talk of cabinet rifts than disagreements publicly to resume a 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. a need for any more political coup 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 reason ways 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 reason may in that job is that no one else want to set. the london for. the u.s.

allegations to a member of the baghdad region 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 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'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
6:23 pm

i. and that is how the news looks for another result of luck wood will keep the updates coming at the top of the hour program continue after this. well the past twenty twenty five years the smartest people in the world have left their industries and their disciplines and joined wall street as quantitative analysts traders or money managers there is a pool of intelligence in wall street that is unparalleled big claim is marching into that pool of intelligence.
6:26 pm
this then with the with me. no skin a little. bit cooler than. most of the millennium but i. know both of you want to but i guess we're kind of. scientists you. know but if you dump on a handwritten note she refused to go into the city. where the blue you won't get a good area for immigrants it's hit and miss we never really know for sure but this has been a active area. next year so i. am. no where when i started no i.
6:27 pm
welcome to redact as i. believe the camp tonight i'll be tearing up the propaganda put forward by usa today one of our country's most radical newspapers but before that i'm talking with an excellent reporter jordan cheriton from the young turks he did a lot of on the ground reporting it standing rock in flint michigan and many other places now he's releasing a new book entitled corporate con job how mainstream media aids the oligarchy and he pointed out chapter by chapter and so far the first two chapters are available here's my conversation with jordan shared. joran they remain there
6:28 pm
but they latex rather than your book is the first two chapters actually and put it out chapter by chapter like this in your first job you talk about interviewing people outside the democratic debate between bernie sanders and hillary clinton why did you think it was important to talk to the dead try this the mold the scum you know the left overs knowing known as the american people when you do like the rest of the journalists you stay in the press van where it's warm and there are sandwiches. you know. you know pays me a billion billions of dollars so i figured i'd go talk to people no i mean i've always thought and i always got pushed back when i worked in corporate media why are we like just relying on pundits and all these out of touch people why don't we go talk to people and that's more expensive to do it that way it's less sexy but i always thought like how my going to report to my viewers what's actually going on if i'm not actually talking to real people and i'm not connected to what's going on
6:29 pm
so throughout the campaign whether it's at the rallies it was almost like i was like a very very. on a different on a different planet i'd be out at burnie rallies the rest of the media would be on stage where the media set is with their cameras and this and that and i'd be the only one out in the crowd actually interviewing voters before bernie spoke or after i was just in kentucky at a bernie rally same story two weeks ago i would all the time be the only person speaking with people and that's why i think i had the knowledge to know oh well i don't think hillary clinton's going to win because i kept talking to people person after person and that's what nate silver and these geniuses in the ivory tower in new york and d.c. don't do they look at their algorithms of the data and the spreadsheets but they don't actually talk to living breathing human people yeah and it's incredible that it's gotten to the point that talking to actual americans is almost.
