2:01 pm
good evening to you my name is neil harvey you're watching our internet. the white house is facing claims that it is in meltdown that soft trump's new communications director was the latest to fall on his sword after only ten days in the job the constant whoring of foreign by the president has prompted speculation of chaos in the cabinet there might be another reason behind the change is this just in food or explains the never ending drama coming out of the white house has recently been bolstered by a number of shake ups and 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 of profanity obscenity and humiliation this is a recognition that six months into this presidency it is a fellow free. presidency we've been seeing trump repeatedly attack members of his
2:02 pm
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 narcissistic mania. 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'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
2:03 pm
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 in me donald trump understands the problem with readiness of our military and is committed to restoring that readiness to 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 surrounding himself with those very few he truly trusts jaclyn who go r.t. washington d.c. . lily we gauged reaction to trump's decision to sack anthony scaramucci the law to ridicule on line of this but should we be more serious about they switch talking
2:04 pm
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
2:05 pm
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 that 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 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 parties are. people say well you know there's there's chaos who says there's chaos you know during world war two george marshall one of our great generals fired people every week
2:06 pm
that was called leadership that was called doing what's right mindset of it is 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 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 psych 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
2:07 pm
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. it's been a busy twenty four hours in washington along with the reshuffles in trump's cabinet new sanctions will also imposed against venezuelan president nicolas maduro and something he claimed victory in a controversial election for a new constituent assembly. dictator dictator as a result of today's sanctions all assets from a doro 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 imperial orders i do not obey foreign orders of government neither today nor ever will i obey imperial orders i am free independent president but also anti
2:08 pm
imperialist i'm against american imperialism. with sanctions targeting duros us as well as those of top venezuelan officials they also banned us firms and individuals from doing business with the president but as one economic restriction that the us seems unwilling to use in this diplomatic. time we stations against oil it seems we all knew about this toxic relationship. is a dictator who disregards the will of the venezuelan people not on the telly stuff you're only going to meet your feeling that they know that it should be destroyed on a theater without knowing what order they mean but either but i mean the government . is violating its own constitution. no not even a. pump oil into the equation and politics is brushed straight under the carpet his facts of how black gold unites them. for decades south american states being the
2:09 pm
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 that 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 there have been to 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 exporters don't want to up in the market and potentially that ten percent extraction of venezuelan oil could spike u.s.
2:10 pm
gasoline prices as well so i think that that is the concern. france will open to migrant centers near the port city of cali after a court ruled that the government must provide humane conditions for refugees who are trying to reach the united kingdom the new migrant centers are set to be so built in bayeux and twelve they both about an hour's drive away from cali where the infamous jungle camp was situated on. 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 my quince 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
2:11 pm
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 it grew it became a mecca for people who mainly were trying to reach the u.k. from cali and by the time the camp was eventually properly cleared around ten thousand people were living there into 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. 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
2:12 pm
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 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 become a mecca for migrants and that we could see some of the conditions that we saw in curly 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
2:13 pm
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 money going back to cali basically this is a cycle that nobody seems to be able to break. the deputy mayor of kalai told us that another massive migrant camp make spring up at any moment. a new jungle could emerge any time if we look careful we refuse any way what the courts you see that we should fix in cali because associations are. we should fix in a kind of facilities that may your off going as experienced already everything shy was toilets camp and we see all the time it's a disaster. on our cousin earth before when he was a. minister said that it would be there would be no way to accept you camps we know
2:14 pm
that all the experiences that are being done by the past. have not been successful. at least twenty people have been killed in an explosion at a shia mosque in afghanistan no one has yet claimed responsibility for the blast in herat in the west of the country herat governor's spokesperson said that the suicide bomber stormed into the mosque and opened fire before blowing himself up the assault also wounded dozens of people interior ministry that early claimed that the explosion may have been caused by a car bomb police said that there appeared to be more than one attacker with one suicide bomber and the ninth another throwing grenades at worshippers the mosque was packed at the time of the assault which came in the middle of the evening prayers ok let's get more details on the story and speak to the afghan journalist blasts joins me on the line now but what more information can you tell us.
2:15 pm
speaking to iraq police and health officials there telling us that at least thirty four people are now confirmed killed and dozens of people or wounded some of them very critically some of the victims have been badly burned so they cannot be recognized and we have seen photos of dozens of young hereat these are lining up to donate blood we have also heard from here police officials about clashes between angry residents and the police. paused close to the mosque a local resident was shot dead when. what is being described to us as a mob by herat police try to burn down this police checkpoint because they're quite angry asking why the police couldn't provide security for the mosque so it is a tense situation one local resident that i was able to speak to earlier on was
2:16 pm
telling me that is ice could see did bodies all around him i wasn't quite sure whether that was a very accurate description or he was simply very emotional understandably because he must of lost his loved ones his friends but this is a mosque that usually can house almost a thousand worship or at any time this is a shia neighborhood to the south of the city of herat have lived in full harmony with the sunni population in the province of herat in the west of afghanistan on the border with iran. u. two thousand shia muslims and of course they've been a major target for islamic state do you think that we will see the terrorist group claiming responsibility for this attack. i simply don't know that's the honest answer but in the past we have heard couple of attacks targeting shia mosques in the city of herat and at that time the officials including police have
2:17 pm
been saying well this is the work of the islamic state some people in western province of here are would tell you that it's iraq and it's trying to be stabilize that part of afghanistan so it's quite difficult but the islamic state is seen as a growing threat in iraq in the provinces of foreign fighter in that region and they have the ability to carry out attacks obviously the islamic state in afghanistan is a different chapter in islamic state in the middle east if you speak to afghan officials most of those representing the islamic state in afghanistan are former disgruntled taliban commanders who have joined the islamic state but as a say it's too early to say anything because we're still waiting for officials but it's heartbreaking because herat province in the west of the country has enjoyed some degree of peace and prosperity compared to the rest of the country sort to
2:18 pm
have an attack like this on a worshipper is i think heartbreaking you know least twenty people killed by a suicide bombing in iraq province in afghanistan afghan journalist sarwar rebring is the latest that. three members of a notorious street gang have been killed in a shootout with police in a moscow region courthouse now the three were trying to avoid trial for ambushing robbing and killing drivers on moscow's streets auntie's around cost of explains. 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 court room the elevator on the third floor when they suddenly viciously attacked the guards grabbed their weapons and began firing the diffs were apparently broke in that shootout says well but the suspects
2:19 pm
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 but officers sense of 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 in moscow 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 sees it had to try to join the vigilante raid with a local activist to catch the dreaded group as they call it the killings happened in places like this i'm surrounded by forest trees in the traffic it's fairly quiet here at night the criminals spread spiteful long yeah then there's a loud bang and when the drivers stop to change their tires the criminals go in for
2:20 pm
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 and. actions could help find the killers traces they surround cars their gas stations bombard people with questions check pranks. 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 almost the only result of the sweeps but the hidden wrong killers are still at large. r t.

a groups operating mind rescue ships in the mediterranean to be outraged by new code of conduct is being forced on them by italy this goes against our mission which is to save lives it goes against this it really goes against our hearts what we are as a medical and humanitarian organization and it's not something that. literally says that those refusing to sign will no longer be covered by the system of sea rescue and that they will face the consequences so let's take a look at the rules under this new code first of all it obliges groups to allow police officers to physically come on board a boat also take migrants to safe ports themselves that's as opposed to transferring them on to other vessels phone calls or flares from n.g.o.s they're now bound it's thought they could signal to human traffickers when it is safe to send a boat to sea we spoke to representatives of aid groups both those who support the
2:22 pm
code and those who oppose it they shared their concerns. it's not but if you see think in many of the boys in the pencil you want to read to me one thing one of the said was not the need for these schools we only organisations that i know my router the operating under all the laws on the legal framework this means i was ahead more people and it's totally against our image of home or any terry and thinking for being here in our society to move the story points off this. sunday it will be hard to say and so the last this points out all the against international law against see the. 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 against mass immigration to europe we wants to stop this madness this n.g. all madness. and because everybody is just in the what is acting feeling you're
2:23 pm
stepping in what you're doing going to do is you are gone we all watched and she also and i think what they're doing there is it's nothing to it because they're actually a support factor and basically the other reason for this mess migration get a recent people twenty ends up making a fortune for this human trafficking rings in libya destabilizing the country i think that a future for actually good europe the future of europe cannot be to become second africa. meanwhile more than sixty migrants are violently forced their way into spain hundreds attacked border guards with sticks and stones wounding three and they used cutting tools to try and cross the razor wire fence separating spain's autonomous city from morocco sixty seven immigrants are said to have got through over a dozen were injured in a been taken to a sincere hospital african migrants make regular mass the chance to cross the six metre high fence on the north african coast. and.

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. it's kind of in the movie mostly comes from of gun is stone used we use a little too well this statement comes amid reports from a watchdog in the united states showing that as the usa pours eight point six billion dollars into counter narcotic efforts in afghanistan the poppy fields are growing and cultivation of narcotics is spreading across the country now furthermore the report goes on to point out a kind of contradiction between the statements of u.s. officials and the facts according to u.s. officials in the drug enforcement agency only one to three percent of the heroin in the united states originates in afghanistan however according to the special inspector for afghanistan reconstruction it could actually be much larger according
2:25 pm
to ham u.s. heroin comes from canada and most of the heroin coming in from canada originates in afghanistan this is the contradictory statements we're hearing about drugs in the united states meanwhile the states of maine the states of massachusetts the states of the state of new hampshire the state of new york they go vermouth have declared opium epidemics this point heroin related fatalities in the united states are reaching historic levels between one thousand nine hundred nine and two thousand and fifteen the number of people in the usa who died from heroin overdoses actually tripled at this point approximately fifty two thousand people are dying annually from heroin. is a big meddling in the american electoral systems again but this time no one's pointing the finger at russia because it was poet of a cyber security challenge to spins even managed to get one of the voting machines to sing.
2:26 pm
while the hackers had fun they also demonstrated a serious point managing to crack over thirty electronic voting machines majority still in use across the united states it only took ninety minutes for the first of all new abilities to emerge experts say the defcon challenge shows that hacking electronic voting machines is easier than previously thought. this software just isn't up to modern standards it's not even as strongly protected as a p.c. it just took us a couple of hours on google to find passwords that let us unlock the administrative functions on this machine plenty of new machines available for purchase they're not being purchased because states don't want to spend money hopefully with all of the controversy around this election. we will see. either the states or the federal government allocate money to upgrade it and buy new machines
2:27 pm
that are much more secure and where we can at least write off the the theory. of the unproven theory that our election can be hacked. get for more details and i've also recently had to a website that's on a don't see at the top of the on the back with the latest headline. ratings and salutations located just under forty miles from the nation's capital the historic african-american community of carver road in haymarket virginia sits
2:28 pm
at the center of a fight you you may of never ever hear about in the mainstream news media because it involves the internet sales giant amazon and the newly crowned richest man in the world jeff bezos you see amazon through one of its kind of lackey corporations is trying to muscle power lines through the historic community to power and amazon data center expansion in the area now one would think that any story involving amazon is. storch minority community fighting for fighting for their neighborhoods that includes properties acquired under eight hundred sixty six law that allowed freed slaves to own land would make for great anger to your average journalist but sadly apart from a few local papers and alternative news sites this story has been largely ignored but why would this be well journalist adam johnson of fairness and accuracy in reporting has found a very interesting pattern of coverage concerning mr bay's those amazon and tech reporting in general by
2:29 pm
a least three of the biggest newspapers in the united states the new york times the wall street journal and the washington post johnson writes a review of one hundred ninety articles from the new york times wall street journal and bezos own washington post over the past year paints a picture of almost uniformly uncritical at times boost coverage in fact the last time there was any kind of investigative journalism found in any of the big three was a new york times critique of amazon's labor practices almost two years ago in august of two thousand and fifteen so in a world where freedom of the press has preached a lot more than its practice just how much rain does the mainstream press give to the world's super rich and powerful let's find out and start watching the hawks.
