after yet another round of musical chairs at the white house the media starts to question whether trump's administration is in turmoil return more inside the white house is real on for despoil torrent of profanity obscenity and humiliation. the french government is too open to new migrants centers near the port city of cali this comes less than a year after the infamous jungle camp was cleared. and three members of a tourist street gang have been killed in a shootout with police at a moscow region court.

thank you for watching r.t. international coming to you live from the russian capital i'm kate partridge. the white house is facing claims that it's in melbourne to trump's new communications director was all was the latest to fall on his sword after only ten days in the job the constant hiring and firing by the president has prompted speculation of chaos in the cabinets but there might be another reason behind the changes jacqueline berger 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 a torrent of profanity obscenity and humiliation this is a recognition that six months into this presidency it 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 fantasy 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 garcia says that may mean. it's no secret that democrats hate trump he ran on the republican ticket so frankly one can expect no less but the thing is the president 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 declare you don't

like that no matter 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 of 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. for the confidence that you have shown in donald trump understands the problem was readiness and our military is committed to restoring that readiness you have someone who's never done this who's actually created 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 with those very few he truly trusts. r.t. washington d.c. well earlier my colleague neil harvey gauge reaction to trump's decision to sign. 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 a 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 they 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 sprit 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. or to george marshall one of our great generals fired people every week that was

called leadership of that's called doing what's right mindset of it is kind of doing is 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 of those 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 globalists. and it's been a busy twenty four hours in washington along with the reshuffles in trump's cabinets new sanctions were also imposed against venezuela's president nicolas maduro that's after he claimed victory in a controversial election for a new constituent assembly. dictator dictator as a result of today's sanctions all assets of the doro subject to u.s. jurisdiction are frozen and u.s. persons are prohibited from dealing with him other than him but i do know it's a bay imperial ordinance i do not obey foreign orders of government neither today nor ever will i obey imperial orders i am free independent president but also the

imperialist i'm against american imperialism. well the sanctions target materials assets as well as those of top but as well and officials by also ban us firms and individuals from doing business with the president however there's one economic restriction the us seems unwilling to use in this diplomatic war. stations against oil it seems we all knew about this toxic relationship. is a dictator who disregard the will of the venezuelan people not on the kelly stuff you telling me about your feeling that they know that it should be destroyed on a deal that lawyer or do they mean the the bill to put them into it probably did the government. is violating its own constitution. limits. but pump oil into the equation and politics is brushed straight under the

carpet his facts of how black gold unites them. for take a discount american states being the third largest exporter of crude to the us and numbers and 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 are 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. france will open to my consensus near the port city of carl a ofter a court ruled the government must provide humane conditions for refugees trying to reach the u.k. the migrant sentence us set to be built in by you and twelve zero both of. most drive from cully where the infamous jungle camp was located. 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 of 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 polly 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. we know despite the attempts there to completely closed down that camp it hasn't quite worked because there are still estimated to be around three hundred fifty to four hundred migrants who are 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 would themselves 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 told us 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 what the call to say. we should fix in cali because associations are running so we should fix in kind of facilities that my year off going has experienced already everything shy was toilets. we see all the time it's a disaster but on our cousin earth before when he was. mr said.

there would be no way to accept you comes we know that all the experience. by the past. successful. well the u.s. is to investigate links between the growing production of afghan opium and america's heroin crisis details on this and other stories coming up after the short break.

the future we go through. every the world. that you get out of the old world. according to josh. welcome back a top u.s. watchdogs urging the trumpet ministration to investigate potential links between the record production of opium in afghanistan and america's heroin crisis the u.s.

special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction added the situation was an anomaly. it's kind of in the movie most come from a gun is stone used we use a little too. well for more on this let's cross live now to wolf in his new york well how they kept on me how widespread a problem is this well it all just comes down to the report we have from the afghanistan reconstruction special inspector his report says despite the united states providing eight point six billion for counter-narcotics efforts in afghanistan since two thousand and two the area under cultivation continues to rise basically the enormous amounts of money that continue to follow in and continue to be put to counter narcotic efforts in afghanistan are not cutting into the opium production the rise of opium production continues to go on as money flows in this doesn't exactly fit the narrative of the u.s.

drug enforcement agency which at this point claims that only one to three percent of u.s. heroin comes from afghanistan however if you read the report from the special inspector it says something quite different this is what their report says in towards the fourteen southwest asian heroin accounted for only one percent of the total weight of heroin in the u.s. meanwhile the states of maine the states of massachusetts the states of the state of new hampshire the states of new york governments have declared opium epidemics now at this point overdoses related to heroin have actually reached historic levels in the united states between one thousand nine hundred nine and two thousand and fifteen the amount of heroin related deaths in the usa actually tripled three times what it was before at this point over fifty two thousand people die annually from

heroin in the united states so worrying numbers that kaleb open azziz correspondent in new york thank you very much indeed. three members of an a tory a 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 streets. was at the scene. shooting that sack has happened here in the moscow reagents a day when see gunshots were heard by one lawyer witness in this terrifying shoots out right here inside a courthouse near the russian capital at two pm and five suspects from the savage g.c.a. street gang were being marched to the courtroom the elevator on the third floor when they suddenly you viciously attacked the guards grabbed their weapons and began firing the four apparently broke in that shootout says well but the suspects managed to pry open the doors and open fire on officers while trying to flee police

fired back killing three of the suspects and the wounding of the rest officers send one member of the national guard were also injured by the gunfire the grim g t a gang first headline says they sparked terror across russia viciously ambushing and murdering some seventeen people on a region motorways back in eleven very few managed to escape their brutal tactics alive back in twenty fourteen as the hunts for the gang gained full force art seize it had to try and join the vigilante raid with a local activist to catch the dreaded group a state of the killings happened in places like this i'm surrounded by forest trees and the traffic is fairly quiet here at night the criminals spread spike long yeah then there's a loud bang and one of the drivers stop to change their tires the criminals go in for the kill. you may get into trouble i mean the kind of trouble of will be the last in your life i mean you make it kills i'm being open about it so please bear

that in mind anything can happen where we're heading to right now the man behind me has given orders to the people who actually have guns with them there are ten to fifteen people with real live ammunition 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 the vigilant is also think southern. actions could help find the killers traces they surround cars and gas stations bombard people with questions check prongs 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 the leader looks a bit downcast innocent drivers being scared off seems like almost the only result of the swoops but the hidden wrong killers are still at large you have to train go r t. i mean aid groups operating migrant rescue ships in the

mediterranean have been outraged by a new code of conduct being forced on them by italy so goes against our mission which is to save lives it goes against it's really goes against our hearts what we are as a medical and humanitarian organization and it's not something that. well actually says those refusing to sign will no longer be covered by the system of sea rescue and will face the consequences well let's take a closer look at the rules under this new code first is obliges groups to allow police officers on board aid boats must also take migrants to safe ports themselves rather than transferring them to other vessels and phone calls or flares from ngo vessels are now banned as they could signal to human traffickers when it's safe to send a boat to sea we talk to gerald canals bottle made from the spanish ngo proactive open arms he's signed the code but has concerns about his. it is not but if you see

think in many of the points. one through the movie there are one thing one of those it was not the need for these goals we all the organization. or the operating under all the laws on the legal framework. which is. that so let's. look at it for years so we have all of these flaws so those are legal. actions but. these court of we are not there we are actually saying we we. are the overage and. we also got reaction from the defend europe group which is against mass migration to europe and is trying to put a stop to the work of aid n.g.o.s because we are gainst mess immigration to europe

wants to stop this madness and sheol madness in the military and you know and because everybody's just talking in the what is acting feeling you're stepping in what you're doing going to do is you are going all watch the and you also and i think what they're doing there is it's nothing to it because they're actually a support factor and basically they had a reason for this mess migration get a receipt people twenty ends up making a fortune for this human trafficking rings in libya destabilizing the country i think the future for africa can't like europe the future for europe cannot become a second africa. meanwhile more than sixty migrants have violently forced their way into spain hundreds attacked border guards with sticks and stones wounding three and use cutting tools to try and scale the razor wire fence separating spain's autonomous city from morocco sixty seven immigrants are said to have got through though over a dozen were injured and have been taken to a thirty hospital african migrants make regular last attempts to cross. a six metre

high fence on the north african coast. 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 more than seven hundred fifty posts now by september two diplomatic properties have also been seized and really soon is it one of them and has more on the impact of the new measures behind me is the summerhouse that the u.s. diplomatic mission must be killed 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 property was sealed unlocked we did see about five or six hundred 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 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. thousands of 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 and it won't be in the near future i decided it is time for us to show you. we will not leave

anything on them since the q. of 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 and 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. i will be about was more news at the top of the on. what else should seem wrong. why don't we all just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days comes out to get an ingenious read equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. with both. it was you know provision on my back when i wanted to be. there so you know i lost his boss because. we saw. any of those in person but the pressure on us i don't mean that has been. showing us you know part of us you're not. you know just i mean most. of the i mean the lord. has been up and i must say i mean i really feel so i just don't get off on getting the rest but those were the oath they speeded to sound those people are going to respect i'm one of the. my family fussy credible

but just but that's already yes it will be and he thought of getting up there calling you seem to mean take it.

a little a child. a great childhood a of two amazing parents that gave me a withing i needed. an echo flat when i was young. i mean we were poor but it was so much love there we didn't really notice. we grew up in an environment where out in never really knew who was going to have. that key so over and say i'm to. compared to previous generations the queue might be put skin who might not be able to for the best pair of shoes it went on is an imperfect see. we make plenty of money make we make plenty of money it's not like we won the lottery and moved into a big scene see neighborhood. my integrity is what i had you know a long time ago peoples were.
