three members of an a tory a street gang have been killed in a shootout with police at a moscow region court as. the dictator or do you know it's a very imperial towards washington sanctions venezuela's president nicolas maduro targeting his private assets with a voice going off to the country's oil sector. white house communications director anthony scott a move she has been fired less than two weeks into the job is the latest in

a series of reshuffles in teen sparking speculation of chaos in the cabinet. the french government is too open to new migrant centers near the port town of kalak a this comes less than a year off to the infamous jungle town was created. thank you for watching r.t. international broadcasting live from moscow i'm kate partridge. understand with some breaking news three members of an a tourist street gang have been killed in a shootout with police in a moscow region courthouse the three were trying to avoid trial for ambushing robbing and killing drivers on moscow's streets for more on this let's cross live now to ramon who's at the city. tell us more about what's happened.

the courthouse. gunshots were heard. inside. the courtroom going up the elevator on the third floor when they viciously attacked the guards grabbed their weapons and began. now. apparently. in the shoot out by the suspects managed to pry open the door and get. one of the police managed to. kill three. others but. one member of the national guard were. injured.

heard. many. moments. when they viciously murdered. in the region. very few. people back. in full swing. vigilante raids. catch. report.

killings happen in places like this i'm surrounded by forest trees and the traffic is fairly quiet here at night the criminals spread spike along yeah then there's a loud bang and when the drivers stop to change their tires the criminals go in for the kill which means you may get into trouble i mean the kind of lost in your life i mean you make it kills i'm going open about it so please bear that in mind when anything can happen when we get it right now the man behind me is giving out orders to the people who actually have guns with them there are ten to fifteen people with a real live so part of the plan is to watch out for cars parked on the side of the road but that doesn't bear any fruit vigilant is also think southern inspections could help find the killers traces they surround cars gas stations bombard people with questions. if i were a driver i'd be really upset if i ended up being like that. wherever we arrive i

keep hearing all clear but the leader looks a bit downcast innocent drivers being scared off seems like the only result of the sweeps but the hidden wrong killers are still at large. r t. now washington has imposed new sanctions against venezuela's president nicolas maduro that's off to he claimed victory in a controversial election for a new constituent assembly as a result of today's sanctions all assets from a door subject to u.s. jurisdiction are frozen and u.s. persons are prohibited from dealing with him other than that. i do know it's a bay imperialists i do know is of government today no ever imperial orders i'm free independent the president should but also. aerialist i'm against

american imperialism coming out of. well the sanctions target materials assets as well as those of top bennis wailin officials they also ban u.s. firms and individuals from doing business with the president however those one economic restriction the us seems unwilling to use in this diplomatic war little pin explains despite the fact that the girl was democratically elected us leaders call him a dictator a dictator dictator we will work with our partners to hold accountable all those responsible for the school leaving violence and ongoing human rights violations but one section of venezuela's economy which according to many reports and speculation is not being targeted by sanctions is oil ninety five percent of that as well as export revenue comes from oil resources they sell oil on the international markets and at this point u.s. treasury does not intend to target the oil sector of venezuela's economy with

sanctions when they were asked about venezuela's oil exports this was the response from u.s. officials from arco maybe making some changes in terms of our export of like her as well as for curbing venezuelan oil imports is that still on the table but let me just say we will continue to monitor all of our specific timely stations against oil i'm not going to comment on that what i will say is we will monitor all of our options it seems we all knew about this toxic relationship. is a dictator who disregards the will of the venezuelan people not on the to me about your feeling that they know that it should be the sort of apathy of the not knowing what a lot of them he thought of pete up but i'm encouraged by the way the government. is by letting its own constitution. has played out over the head on pump oil into the equation and politics is. brushed straight under

the carpet his facts of how black gold unites them. for decade this out american states being the third largest exporter of crude to the us and numbers are growing up seven percent to around six hundred seventy thousand barrels a day but will it stop them absolutely not the citgo petroleum corporation based in texas belongs to wait for it venezuela's state owned oil company which means the country has access to these refineries the total capacity of about seven hundred forty nine thousand barrels per day so far the sanctions that have been a mention have been against refined venezuelan oil products and against individuals in the venezuelan government they have not been for the importation of crude the fact that they're not including crude speaks to that interdependence and the fact that us all producers and export are don't want to up in the market and potentially that ten percent extraction of venice on oil could spike us gasoline prices as well

so i think that that is the concern. well meanwhile process in venezuela have continued ever since sunday's election which the opposition has slammed as illegitimate it also insists officials are lying about the turnout we do as governor says more than forty percent of the electorate took part in sunday's vote in the assembly will be times when three relating the concert and will have the power to dissolve the current parliament the voting took place amid fears protests and deadly clashes to sixteen people were killed over the weekend. reports from. well as you can see the city has been a swell of the day after nicolas modo claim big story in the course of doing assembly vote. to sort of those in order to get here it's been a very violent for more here in venezuela. since the broad goals of this is

started on april first. one hundred twenty one according to attorney general's office those two sounds like more trouble on the way as you can see these discoveries come out. the white house is today facing claims that it's in meltdown softer its new communications director was the latest upon himself on the scrap heap after only ten days in the job his sackings widely regarded as an attempt by the new chief of staff john kelly to assert his authority well reshuffles are prompting speculation of chaos in trump's cavernous but there might be another reason behind the changes as jacqueline zucker explains the never ending drama coming out of the white house has recently been bolstered by a number of shake ups in the west wing staff and each time another employee bites the dust the media cries that chaos and disaster are reigning in the white house

the turmoil inside the white house is real and on full display torrent of profanity obscenity and humiliation this is a rec. notion that six months into this presidency is a fail of the failed presidency we've been seeing trump repeatedly attack members of his own staff often on social media causing headlines to erupt questioning the president's sanity these insane tweets some of donald trump's most insane tweets you know trump is completely insane a growing number of democrats are openly questioning president trump's mental health and listening carefully to donald trump and i think he's a narcissistic maniac but man this though it may be is there a method to it darcis a sick maniac. it's no secret that democrats hate trump he really on the republican ticket so frankly one can expect no less but the thing is the president's own party also fosters a fair amount of opposition to him what was proposed yesterday is not what this party stands for i worry about the president's understanding of some of these

issues. he's a race baiting zina phobic religious bigot and i am not going to get it done a. lot of the future on the other hand continues to defend his administration and the choices he makes the with the democrats against him and his own party is not exactly solid support term seems to be trimming the fat leaving only those he can rely on reduce warren general kelly he will do a spectacular job i have no doubt thank you president elect for the confidence that you have shown and donald trump understands the problem with readiness of our military and is committed to restoring that readiness i have someone who's never done this who's actually created a real jobs donald trump is doing just that he speaks from the brain he speaks from the heart i mean all these trump insanity claims perhaps the president is simply used to running himself but those are very few he truly trusts. r.t. washington d.c.

well early of my colleague neil harvey gauge reaction to trump's decision to sack the man known as the mooch. the law the ridicule all mind of this but should we be more serious about they switch talking about the people who are basically running the country here we've been distracted the last forty eight seventy two hours by you know the the arrival and departure of mr party and i think it's really important that we get promptly back to business and we have north korea exploding we've got you know lots of things going on here it's not as if our relations with us and russia are going that well at the moment i mean there are a lot of problems much bigger then you know converting about you know temporary decision to let somebody who probably would have been more comfortable the bot of being called you know the soprano's in there as a communications director what we really need is a silvertone order. we're not even talking about that north korea russia china

we're talking about potential theoretical world war but now we're talking about anthony the move c.n.n. is playing this do you think the hate each other missing the point altogether donald trump has been under intense media pressure he's been warring with them effectively for six months is the precious starting to show because we're seeing him now let go some of the people who got him into power the likes of ryan spree this shore inspires people you would have thought were trusted the being that being ushered out now is that the pressure starting to show or is it something else if we think through the campaign period right when trump trump announced the immediate reaction of the mainstream press was he's it's a joke he's never going to fill out his financial forms they have been wrong about every significant aspect of dollar trump's campaign his general election campaign and of his presidency today they haven't gotten it right so again i don't really put a great stock into what they're saying it's start from the morning and they just keep

repeating this and it all it's tends to create its own path and pretty soon people say well you know there's there's chaos who says there's chaos you know during. more till george marshall one of our great generals fired people every week that was called leadership of this called doing what's right mindset of it's kind of doing his general flynn was fired jeff sessions is being attacked and now scary movie is out so if you are a person with considerable talent so the kind of people now who are going to be applying for jobs in the trump white house are going to be mediocrities they don't really have any talent they don't have much going on so they are they want to be close to power so they'll think oh i'm not giving up nothing if i get fired is this white house in chaos is this a traveling circus always this always how strong was going to roll it's classic white house the second emergency room i merge the room seems like chaos but that's what it deals with it deals with chaos and when in rome do as well you know the

rest of the story white house is relatively steady shape with a lot left to accomplish for the benefit of most americans oppose people who cherish freedom and economic growth around the world well it's the opposite of business as usual trump is trying to change the system and he's being backstabbed by republicans i've long said the greatest threat to donald trump is not the d.n.c. it's actually the r. and c. so what appears to be chaos is mainly a civil war going on with republicans who want to put america first versus republicans who want to be globalist. the deputy man of the french city of cal a tell us he fears and has a massive migrant camp springing up we'll tell you why after the short break. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us senate is full on

awesome miller's show i go out of my way to punch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the. john oliver of arc to america is going to say in fact that we are verily better than that i see people you've never heard of love redacted the next president of the world bank so very early in many areas like some of the e-mail. bubble blog sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to stop spreading tell you the lobby gossip to the public by. the bad guys who tell you that you are not cool enough to buy their products. that we along the border will want.

welcome back from this will open to migrant centers near the port city of kalai ofter a court ruled the government must provide humane conditions for refugees trying to reach the u.k. the new migrant centers are set to be built in and twelve all those about an hour's drive from cali where the infamous jungle camp was located artie's shiela do bensky reports. this comes after the french government seems to be backed into a corner by the french courts which had ruled that. decision to not provide clean water and sanitation facilities to the migrants in cali was wrong and they described that as degrading treatment now that's because the french government and the interior minister said they were trying to avoid the stain mistakes again we don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past but we also want to handle the problems in cali the reference there is to the new tourist camp in cali which was

known as the jungle and when it started around a thousand migrants were housed there in temporary accommodation such as tents but it grew and grew it became a mecca for people who mainly were trying to reach the u.k. from by the time that camp was eventually properly cleared around ten thousand people were living there in some really schooling conditions it was basically a camp that was out of control and when the authorities did to close it down last year there were violent scenes as ati's poly boyko witnessed this is the front line of the part of the jungle that's meant to be evicted today now we don't know how close we can get but you can see the riot police here in their shields with their mosques ready for any sort of action that might take place all of these settlements these hot say have been marked for demolition and the bulldozers just

in the distance over there are making their way quite quickly through this part of the camp that you can see those fires burning and over there just in the distance there are a number of refugees who are stood on top of their tents they are refusing to leave and that's why there's a heavy police presence here as we know despite the attempts there to completely close down that camp it hasn't quite been. is there are still estimated to be around three hundred fifty to four hundred migrants a living in cali and that's one of the reasons why they will be moved to these new centers the problem is though that there's no guarantee that these new centers of them selves become a mecca for migrants and that we could see some of the conditions that we saw in cali reemerging for example here in paris a center that was opened in the last year has become such a mecca for migrants that every night it's completely full and many migrants are yet again forced to sleep on the streets with every few weeks the police having to

clear it yet again when they clear more migrants come and there is nothing to stop that from happening at these two new centers while there is also nothing happening to stop any migrants going back to cali basically this is a cycle that nobody seems to be able to break. the deputy mayor of another massive migrant camp may spring up at any moment. a new jungle could emerge any time if we're not careful we refuse anyway was a call to say that we should ships in cali because associations are burning so we should fix in co a kind of facilities the europe going as experienced already everything show was toilets camp and we see all the time it's a disaster but on a cousin of before when he was. mr said there would be no way

to accept you comes we know the old the experience you've been. by the past. will be successful. russia's counter sanctions against the u.s. take effect from this tuesday moscow's ordered the us to cut its diplomatic presence in russia by more than seven hundred fifty personnel by september two diplomatic properties have also been seen as too many so is it one of them and has more of the impact of the new measures behind me is the summerhouse that the u.s. diplomatic mission must be kate by today as part of russia's counter sanctions against washington as you can see right here the property has been locked and sealed as of today and this comes just one day after the u.s. diplomatic staff claim that they were denied access to this summer house right here and according to sources from the russian foreign ministry they say that's because the trucks sent by the u.s. embassy did not request for permits in a fancy which is something that's required to enter

a conservation area such as this and the russian deputy foreign minister today he said that nobody is trying to stop them from collecting their personal belongings here in this episode retreat and that before this properties was sealed unlocked we did see about five or six or u.s. diplomatic trucks large sized trucks leaving the area leaving the property to collect their personal belongings and that's because this summer house is one of the two diplomatic properties. that moscow has announced it will be taking back from washington as part of a reaction towards the fresh round of sanctions that the u.s. congress has approved to target russia earlier last week take a listen to what the russian president had to say about why such actions must be taken more than a thousand people both diplomatic and technical staff are currently working in russia seven hundred fifty five of them will have to stop their activities and that's painful we've been waiting for quite a long time so that maybe something would change for the better we had hoped that the situation would change but it looks like even if it does change that it won't

be in the near future quarter i decided it is time for us to show you we will not leave anything on here that the u.s. congress approved the sanctions to target russia over alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen presidential election and in response to that while russia has announced the twelve hundred u.s. diplomats and technical stuff working in the country have to be cut down to four hundred and fifty five that's to mash number of russian diplomats currently working in the u.s. and on top of that to diplomatic properties will be taken back including the riverside retreat and summer house right behind me well last week the u.s. congress passed a bill imposing new sanctions on russia iran and north korea washington says the restrictions on come in response to alleged russian meddling in the u.s. election sanctions target a range of economic sent to us including energy projects. well the bill will punish any companies involved in developing or maintaining russian related pipelines that therefore places a number of european companies in its scope one of the key projects affected will

be the north stream two pipeline from germany austria france and the netherlands have agreed to invest almost five billion euros and it's around half the projects total cost once completed it's meant to substantially based russian gas supplies to mainland europe via the baltic sea well meanwhile the e.u. has threatened to retaliate against the u.s. moves if they threaten to harm european business interests the german foreign minister claims washington is using sanctions to promote its own business interests we will defend ourselves against america first industrial policy masquerading as sanctions they managed joan problems and they are focused on themselves those sanctions are illegal and it is absolutely inacceptable that america is harming countries for their internal politics sue we do not expect a day look so much what the alliance in europe say but i am quite happy that the europeans say very clearly what they think about sanctions.

it is clear america is proposing to sanctions only because of internal politician political issues and not because of real misbehavior by the russians. and if you want to know more about that story head to our website. i'll be back with more news at the top of the hour. with more make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. with the famous.
