looks like. president trump finds his chief of staff in a major white house overhaul we look at the turbulence and infighting within the administration. the french president promises to rid the country of makeshift refugee camps while the rights group accuses police of abusing migrants. and german investigators say the suspect in the deadly stopping in hamburg is a known islamist and failed asylum seeker. bringing you the latest news live from moscow i'm resigning or couldn't you're watching our international. donald trump has dismissed his chief of staff ranks

priebus and the like to shake up of his white house team as usual the president broke the news on twitter announcing the homeland security secretary john kerry now has the job a week ago the white house press secretary sean spicer also abruptly left his position and that had been widely expected as he had not 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 shock one of the reasons trump gave for that decision was the intelligence chief handling of the probe into hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server while secretary of state and before that national security adviser michael flynn was forced to resign over his contacts with russia jacqueline looks now 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 it has barely gotten the ball rolling but there has been plenty of drama we are strongest when we're you know. this is a bunch of scumbags. president will be. small president is not presidential. for this country. mr speaker to call for the impeachment of the president or 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 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 because that's the one between love and hate and that lying 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 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 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 an ambitious plan to rid the country of its makeshift migrant camps and to better accommodate

a. if you g.'s by the end of the year the premium but the first battle is to house everybody in a dignified manner by the end of the year i want no more women and men in the streets in the woods last it's a question of dignity a question if humanity but also the fish and see everywhere where the emergency housing is built to welcome them i want administrative steps for their cases to be examined last year french police dismantled the country's most notorious refugee camp the so-called jungle in cali but human rights watch says more than four hundred people are still there living out in the open about half of them are on the company children the area is used as a launching point for crossing to the u.k. . it was we were.

one. as the refugees returned to cali human rights watch has accused police of abusing migrants on a routine basis the police admit they're struggling to cope while the my current say they feel abandoned by the authorities as mentioned that the author ities have been struggling to cope with the influx of migrants to that camp. spent my six month in college and came and did this it to all the people you'll see in france will give you a fair part. work yet and maybe build your life then separately in the process enough to know you're in the seats. for us all normal actually 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 with 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 our 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 province altie shola dubinsky is there. alcohol of violence and reports of rape that's the reality in this migrant camp that's being dubbed

a humanitarian slaughter 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 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 formats are concerned about its impact. this problem has to be addressed quickly for their sake as well as for us their suffering. the city of metz was not prepared for the count the authorities emptied it but now there are seven hundred refugees back there again it's becoming a second kaleri 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 a certain community within the camp. not. really. the problems why. fight yes they 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 showing that even ski r.t.

metz. the suspect in friday's stabbing rampage in the german city of hamburg is a known islam missed according to german police the attack left one person dead and six others injured peter all of a has been following the developments 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 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 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 in 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 that's 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 between our two countries a major global issues and these sanctions will no longer be necessary russia hit back with counter measures 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 that 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 their signs retreat in the city 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. is puzzled by secretary tellus and statement on the sanctions it says that washington has failed to realize that pressure isn't 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 relations therefore we are imposing sanctions to be thirty two to listen he's slightly less crazy than many of the people involved in american politics at 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 over the he might otherwise have been i think that's why you have that part of it logical statement explaining these sanctions to which was not nearly any sensible justification at all speculation is growing over a plan to replace the british prime minister that story and more still to come. please.

little. dropping bombs brings peace talks the battles they don't believe the new socks credit tell you that will be gossiping by files of the most reporters today. telling me you are not cool enough to fight. the hawks we live our lives were. welcome back now the streets of east london have been hit by an rest over police brutality.

crowds gravatt on friday night to demand justice for ch'an charles a black man who died after being apprehended by a police officer in a shop a week ago a video of that incident in which an officer can be seen pinning the man to the ground in a tight headlock has caused widespread outrage an independent commission is investigating the case. while staying with news from the u.k. prime minister to resign may has lost yet another of her top bricks it strategists she was also recently voted britain's most unpopular leader ever at this stage of a premiership nonetheless despite the turmoil that home she's enjoying a three week long break in europe the media has been rife with speculation of a plot to replace polly boyko house 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 a vision for brags that the choice is becoming ever more clear. with our eyes fixed on the future strong and stable leadership with me as prime minister to see as 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 advise is 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. this latest resignation of chris will is just not good example of part of the disastrous to. the election rolling off the ship like rats i think the. wounded government or 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 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 a j. admiral election opposition leader gerry corbin's fortunes have gone the all the way his popularity is now snoring but despite talk of cabinet rifts and disagreements publicly to resume a senior ministers approaching 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 need for any more political coup for 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 resign may's 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 resume in the job is that no one else wants it polly boyko r.t. london. in other news this hour an intense battle has been raging between armed groups in lebanon on their the country's border with syria you said early is there forty. the operation to free ourselves which is the mountainous region of eastern

lebanon from the control of terrorists was concluded just a few days ago and the operation was conducted by hezbollah the lebanese resistance group in coordination with the lebanese army who took a back seat to that operation. operation which wasn't without some control to see the lebanese prime minister saad hariri describe the operation as illegitimate leading critics to say that he was sheltering terrorist groups and that the terrorist group with links to al qaida now we also managed to speak to some hezbollah commanders and they told us that they managed to kill around ninety minutes and take a hundred kilometers squared of territory as the militants as they said were exhausted after months if not years of fighting in the region and the bottom of the line this is what may have been many of them away. and this is the last any else

knows that a how long did that battle take to free the whole area of the holiday area of. this of. need it between forty eight to seventy two hours not more now what remains to be seen is whether this victory will be permanent or whether the terrorists will come back what we heard today though that many of them are joining the so-called islamic states and getting ready for yet another battle. the u.s. led coalition is urging iraq to investigate claims of war crimes committed by its military there and 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 it investigated in a transparent and apparent manner we meet routinely with our. forces to advise them

on the expectations for throwing transparent investigations accountability for anyone found responsible for abuses in public disclosure findings in actions taken . earlier human rights watch made some details allegations against an iraqi unit the report says suspected members of islamic state were executed without trial during the liberation of mosul a number were found to head it with children among those killed some observers say the iraqi army used bulldozers to bury the bodies under rubble or we put those allegations to a member of the baghdad region security committee we should warn you some of the images you're about to see are disturbing problem is that we are speaking of a close knit society people know each other and this 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 is now are leading the sixteen division

and basically they see it as a payback time 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 or must pay some type of at least moral responsibility because i mean nobody here sympathizes with. supporters or isis of numbers so but from a legal point of view yes this is an issue that needs to be looked at that's it for me for now i'll be back with more news in thirty minutes time.

i'm going to do just that and you're watching our. people have got to know whether or not fair present or supply american people deserve to know the answer first at this point does it mean must guard against the military industrial war we shall never go.

to war you should know that there is still yes we do what we. think oh yeah. future doesn't say. the mission of news with you is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say that i think average viewer knows that r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what to cover how long the coverage or how to say it that's the beauty of archie america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more

that journalists are not getting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. welcome to on contact today we discuss corporate crime with investigative journalist russell macabre all the checks and balances from the public interest groups to criminal prosecutors are slowly being cut back. when. chryssavgis. corporations have not only seized control of the executive legislative and judicial branches of government but have used their money to take over the non-profits and regulatory agencies that once protected the citizens from predatory corporate

practices transparency international usa for example supposedly dedicated to combating corruption receives corporate grants from exxon mobil citi group raytheon and bechtel corp the sierra club has received twenty five million dollars from the natural gas industry leading civil rights groups including the n.w. c.p. and the national urban league have been heavily bankrolled by the telecom industry making them unlikely partner in the effort to kill that neutrality the american diabetes association is underwritten by grants from coca-cola and oscar meyer process to be the american heart association excepts money from the national cattlemen's beef association and a v.a. poor and domino's pizza r t correspondent on your part looks at how the animal agriculture industry has silenced non-profits. we think about climate change which contributing factors do you blame the most we are taught if we want to mitigate our

damage on the planet we should drive less change our life all that and recycle but in two thousand and ten a report by the united nations environment program concluded that to defend against climate change the world needs to shift away from a diet rich in meat and dairy especially as humans continue to surge in population so why do we rarely hear climate change campaigns targeting the animal agriculture industry let's follow the money according to open secrets the agribusiness industry spent nearly thirty three point five million dollars on lobbying so far in two thousand and seventeen alone last year the industry spent nearly one hundred twenty eight million dollars here's one example of how this lobbying works to under. mine the movement to eat less meat in two thousand and fifteen several major corporations like walmart and mcdonald's partnered with meat industry representatives like the beef marketing group the national beef packing corp and the national cattlemen's beef association to korea.
