international. donald trump has dismissed his chief of staff writes priebus in the late to shake up of his white house team as usual the president broke the news on twitter announcing the homeland security secretary john kelly now has the job a week ago the white house press secretary sean spicer also abruptly left his position or 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 about decision was the intelligence chief handling of the probe into hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server while secretary of state before that national security advisor michael flynn was forced to resign over his contacts with russia jacqueline looks now at how relationships in the white house is 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

are strongest when we're you know. this is a bunch of scumbags. president was being small president not presidential all. right so good reorganizing rowdies for this country iraq is today mr speaker to call for the impeachment of the president or have they tried i mean every single thing but i'm. 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 said 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 and 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 thunder 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 the line between love and hate and that line is basically just a few 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 a 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 turn on the other party washington d.c. . the french president has unveiled an ambitious plan to rid the country over its makeshift migrant camps and better coma. refugees by the end of the. permian 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 of 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 dishpan told 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 a half of them all unaccompanied children the area is used as a launching point for crossing to the u.k. . we were.

one. as the refugees returned to calibrate human rights watch has accused police of abusing my courts on a routine basis the rights group says the situation is quote like living in hell pepper sprays 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. the place of mit they are struggling to cope while the migrants say they feel abandoned by the authorities to spend my six month intelligence came and this is to all the people you'll see in france will give you a fair part. maybe build your life then separately in the process enough to know you. for us 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 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 from gathering in certain places or meanwhile reports of diet conditions are also coming from a migrant camp in northeast france altie showed you bensky is there. alcohol violence and reports of rape that's the reality in this migrant camp that's being

dubbed a humanitarian slum the problem there is a problem with alcohol and violence he's given us a 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 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 there suffer in. 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 calais we returned 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 one c.v. the migrants are everywhere in metz. at the camp we find out my currents are apparently facing aggression as well from a certain community within the camp. where. i live about the problems why one of them of being fights yes they take your money. as we speak with another man we're told to stop filming by security guards or. people here hiding from those who are looking for them in their own country. if we 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.

mats. the suspect in friday's stabbing rampage in hamburg is a known islamist according to german police the attack left one person dead and six others injured page one 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 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 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 he would there not 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 allahu akbar 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 mind 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. strains again towards angola

merkel's policy when it comes to refugees and migrants and seeing many people criticizing her government again for that policy. u.s. secretary of state hans 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 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 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 more sco 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 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. is puzzled by secretary tillerson statement on the sanctions it says that washington has failed to realize the pressure isn't working and relations with moscow former british diplomat craig mari 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 fair 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 so i think that's why you have a logical statement explaining these sanctions to which was not really any sensible justification at all. and intense battle has been raging between armed groups eleven on near the country's border with syria it's early is there for r.t. the operation to free ourselves which is the mountainous region of eastern lebanon some 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 controversy the lebanese prime minister saad hariri described the operation as illegitimate leading critics to say that he was sheltering terrorist groups and that

a terrorist group with links to al-qaeda 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. and this is the last any else knows that a how long did that battle take to free the whole area. area of just a few of us of those that 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 but what we heard today though that many of them are joining these 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 allegedly of armed conflict violations recently any violation of the law of armed conflict is unacceptable and should be an investigation in a transparent and parent manner we meet routinely with our partner forces to advise them on the expectations for throwing transparent investigations accountability for anyone found responsible for abuses and public disclosure of findings and actions taken earlier human rights watch made some detail that occasions 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 the headed with 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 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 close knit society people know each other 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 i says 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 streets of east london have been hit by all the rest over police brutality. crowds gathered 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 tourism a has lost yet another one of her top bracket strategists she was also recently voted britain's most unpopular leader ever at this stage of the premiership nonetheless despite the turmoil at home she's enjoying

a three week long break in europe and the media has been rife with speculation of a plot to replace her polly boyko takes up the 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 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 basic 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 cain is just not that example of part of the disastrous to. the election rolling off the ship like rats i think. 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 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 general election opposition leader gerry corbin's fortunes have gone the all of the way his popularity is now soaring but despite talk of cabinet rifts and 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 by with treason but in a sign that the policy 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 reason may and the job is that no one else one set. in all the news this hour donald trump's decision to ban transgender people from the military has sparked a huge protest outside the white house the president said to move was due to high spending on medical bills the pentagon has plenty about the norm coleman but expenses of calif mopin explains. donald trump recently announced that transgender people will not be able to serve in the u.s. armed forces in any capacity he says this is being done in order to save money now the decision has been widely regarded as controversial by some americans we decided to ask people here in new york city what they thought was a good way for the pentagon to save money and for comparison we have a few examples of how the pentagon spends its cash the military spends roughly forty one point six million dollars each year on. the number two million dollars on

strip clubs casinos by personnel misusing their government credit cards and number three in uniform in afghanistan that does not match the landscape of the country and the last one hundred eighty three thousand five hundred dollars spent by the defense department on birdwatching which one do you think is true the strip clubs yeah where going to go with the bird watching. for and so i mean yes they're all true and all of them are true. really wall. that's why was when you said true it was like they all sound true to me yeah that's ridiculous by agra i. come on the vagabond scary doesn't surprise me but a little scary to me one point six whole jesus sounds pretty wasteful i'm sure they could use that money a little bit better towards other things like fighting wars make use of the money go use the money just because there is wasteful it's absolutely disgusting i think they should be held accountable how do you feel about the decision to cut spending

by banning transgender people while spending on these projects is ridiculous this whole thing is absolutely ridiculous but as usual what do you what can you expect a sketch of the manhattan skyline by one donald j. trump has been sold at auction for twenty nine thousand dollars and the american president is not the first well made that show off his artistic skills. we proudly welcome you to a gallery of some of the most extraordinary pieces ever produced here you can see the new york skyline and in the center it's trump tower standing tall and proud like i'll let you interpret that one this is a classic example of the work of donald trump the original piece was sold for over twenty nine thousand dollars it's amazing that great is that god ever created by a genius next is a very reflective self-portrait by george w. bush you can visit an exhibition of his other works for just sixty five dollars it's a perfect psychological journey of self reflection

a chance to wash away your focus is stories a look back and say gosh you could have done it better this way or that way. moving on to our next piece on a popular doodle by barack obama representing four u.s. senate says the piece was snapped up to two thousand dollars i have a good idea. i and finally the jewel in our collection purchased for over six hundred thousand dollars and if you fancy brushing up on your painting skills you can join an open class with the artist himself if you think. so impressive all what i remember you can get your news on the base by downloading the all the free and i'm back for more here almost.

what politicians do this. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go right to be precise this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should. slur used to be a professional hockey player who won a stanley cup and the moment the girl who was living the dream but his success had

a dark side in the time i was fourteen to sixteen i was raped one hundred fifty times by a coach of mine and i was more us in a dark room and so you know every time i close my eyes or from sleep after many years of silence he speaks up and unites with other victims so you are going from toronto to ottawa to walk in and from now or walk into the victor walk it's to create awareness and promote you in your on the subject child sexual abuse this type of behavior is absolutely acceptable because of the sentences that are handed down through the justice system. i know they're not.

we going to avoid all ship would rush in and tell me i did that so much it's only displaced persons that flee that fluid recently from clashes that have been. a lot of good people are separate across frontlines and they can cross the front line a lot of people that fled without knowing where the husband where their child that child or their mother is. where they are were even though they were captured or they are alive most of the times we live with a load to look for the story that's a quote actually i read if i families. that. have so we got precise phones because if you were just going to drag it up to the jacket it will be ok.
