relationship between nato allies america. again in the spotlight after u.s. led coalition forces exchanged with. rebels. the u.s. has found itself between a rock and a hard place in syria namely between kurdish and turkish forces both of whom are supposed to be american allies but consider one another anime's and it seems tensions are on the rise with a coalition spokesperson revealing that u.s. backed forces exchanged fire with pro turkish rebels not once but several times in
6:02 am
recent weeks when patrolling areas held by the forces turkey supports. patrols that have been conducting patrols in the area to keep tensions down received multiple times over the course of the last two weeks now the u.s. has told turkey to pass on to the rebels they support that firing on u.s. led coalition forces is quote not acceptable adding that patrols will continue and warning that coalition forces are always prepared and ready to defend themselves if need be which is not exactly the kind of dialogue you'd expect between two major powers meant to be important friends and allies but the reality of the situation is that northern syria is now a metaphorical minefield of possible clashes with conflicting alliances that could unravel at the slightest misstep.
6:03 am
turkey remains a nato ally and an important part partner in the fight against dash we expect both those relationships those multilateral issues ships to continue. going to continue to work with the white b.g. as a part of. syrian democratic forces. merica i told you many times you either side with us terrorist organizations you haven't had a good growth them and that's why the region is turned into the sea. up till now america has more or less managed to navigate the murky waters between the turks and kurds even deploying a number of troops to northern syria months ago with the specific task of deterring
6:04 am
the two parties from attacking one another but that effort has met with little success leaving few surprised in the wake of these recent skirmishes and fact conflicts like this one have been a long time coming if it's and then american military advisers go to. fool sleeps with no kids american. carries out the will of assad by accident if you rockets can hit them now the u.s. was of course never invited into syria but rushed in anyway perhaps without fully understanding the lay of the land. now washington finds itself trying to keep peace between its own partners all the while distracting from the real enemy at hand i still just r.t. washington d.c. or turkey specialist emory color sky believes the interests of washington and in syria on no longer the same. there might be two things on the table first of all there's a lack of actually cooperation between the two sides basically turkey doesn't
6:05 am
inform the americans or do i said or so or the second option might be this might be a mistake and of course there's a third option which is more dangerous that turkey does not control the free syrian army any more today indeed in united states and americans interests are not any more overlapping because for the future of syria and turkey. turkey is interest all quite different than the american ones. the battleforce i saw from war torn iraq has devastated civilian lives and parts of the country with children particularly affected in fact even before the liberation of most all of the battle for talent far the number of youngsters desperately in need of help exceeded five million there are no present day figures but the numbers now expected to be much higher. investigates. these children have seen more bloodshed and agony than most adults will in
6:06 am
a lifetime nearly ninety percent of children have lost a member of a family either they were kidnapped or killed and when they were escaping from the fight many of them have lost family members they were shot at from behind or falling on booby traps it has been a horrible experience. so this helicopter flies that are. dropping down on the floor and i'm carrying some of them my some of them feel when they see for a mess some of them feel when they see you know people that they are not comfortable with some of them shut up and say no what for quite a long time until they could actually opened up definitely they go all the extreme distress and also physically unfortunately i'm one of them
6:07 am
a wounded. many of the hospitals we visit confirmed that. the biggest number of civilians they have in the hospitals are children traumatized in mind and body but alive lucky by local standards though let's be frank stuck in orphanages and refugee camps in iraq and you believe given the sheer magnitude of the problem thousands and thousands of orphans and little. do you believe you can adequately help them we are helping those sold and we we see certainly we don't have enough resources the children are almost everywhere but ultimately the support comes from family from government and the extended family that once we connect children they are everybody scheme to receive them and the support of the problem is made. king the connection all of these orphans iraq e so many
6:08 am
a foreign children of isis fighters. and how big it is much better a foreign children were reunited with their families they will have problems here with documents in schools with health care they need their families love problems is putting it lightly in iraq tribal culture venerates blood feuds and revenge isis harmed millions there are those who would use these children who hate them for what their parents did. vulnerable for abuse they are vulnerable for trafficking. or for. any danger that children exposed to in today's technology any. bad group. could get those children unharmed them some of these lost children a raped their assaulted abused and abandoned killed for their organs hated
6:09 am
for the sins of their fathers the un and you do what they can to protect them but there are too many getting them out is a reward unto itself. we helped identify and reunite a number of these children yet it isn't straightforward uni set for example once these kids identities protected fearing stigma or exploitation we know we tell our children. if we do not allow our children to normalize tensions that we do not know how do we think of allowing a child that have gone through the. crisis. to be exposed into
6:10 am
a big comma it's a hard choice you can show their faces for everyone to see and let their relatives recognize them or pray that they find them themselves one desperate young refugee among the rocks millions more i guess. for many believe iraq. brown university a member of america's elite league group of universities and colleges has long put fixing historical injustices as one of its key priorities. people took things that didn't belong to them. without permission they were taken
6:11 am
from the communities they were taken from. how we. see how we use our. first fears. in the dark. but now the university is on the defensive after a native american tribe set up a protest camp on its premises insisting the land was stolen from them hundreds of years ago and now they want it back we've done everything possible. to enjoy the powers that be in this. and we're just an invisible invisible tribe we don't exist this was our principal and though we want this to recruit to our. spiritual hydros that and hope for. these things will come.
6:12 am
brown claims warm relationships with local indigenous tribes and hosts and you will meetings to raise awareness about minority group issues and they made headlines off the renaming the federal holiday columbus day to indigenous peoples day this was last year however when it comes to the tribes demands the university is refusing to budge. the pa cannot get tribe is not recognized by the federal government or more importantly by the other federally recognized indigenous communities there is an important technical difference between holding need of ancestry and holding nation status and that is at the heart of the issue here or the captain has already been on the campus for more than a week the tribe insists it's staying there has also taken the case to court the co-founder of the code pink activist group thinks the dispute shows the universities are progressive stance is more likely just a facade. talk is cheap it certainly is the in thing now or
6:13 am
corporations universities sports associations to talk that talk about and have progressive they are to adopt the language. but when the call is for land to be given back or for reparations to be made for slavery or anything that involves actual financial restitution that's where they draw the line is all the international and u.s. nuclear weapons take center stage in germany's election race and more after the break.
6:14 am
6:15 am
i could have you with us today for your news a report by swedish police has revealed that in less than two years there's been a dramatic increase in so-called no go zones across the country the number of what swedish officials call areas has now reached sixty one according to the same report up to five thousand criminals are believed to be living in them making up some two hundred criminal networks currently active that problems and all the districts which are heavily populated by migrants well the problems do remain the same. my.
6:16 am
they sell drugs openly they carry weapons i have heard that there are so many weapons in kister that they could take over accused in a few hours. there has been quite a lot of shooting very brutal mistreatment of entrepreneur a lot of robbery. if you are not good at it. you need to make a clear shift in direction we cannot continue in this direction ten more years to say i didn't used to do more we need to do more we need to focus on the serious here the problem is that cultural differences and that these immigrants who come to sweden to not want to integrate or some of them don't want to integrate we see this
6:17 am
in in is facially many of the european countries where they have taken a lot of immigrants we don't see it in for example poland hungary but in germany in this country where i live in denmark we also have not courtrooms in copenhagen for example and in sweden also so especially in the places where they have taken in a lot of immigrants we see these problems also in france and belgium and in sweden government people didn't want to admit that this is. actually of property so they were did don't want to mention. it no go zones it has no cold symptoms. britain's failing to deport foreign terrorists because it's quote too expensive an explosive report ordered by the government admits to use unnecessary churkin to investigates.
6:18 am
the terror threat level in the u.k. is that severe discrepancies in the system set up to tackle terrorism are continually highlighted britain has been hit by four terrorist attacks in recent months and in three of those the attackers were known to the authorities one of the tools available to the u.k. in its fight against extremism is called deportation with assurances meaning suspects can be expelled if guarantees are in place they won't be treated badly back home centrally this could mean potential threats won't be able to be sent back to countries like syria libya sudan or yemen a report published this summer ordered by theresa may when she was home secretary has highlighted of alrighty of cracks in the system only eleven people have been deported under this scheme and over twelve years and comparison france has deported
6:19 am
one hundred and twenty the report also mentions the process is costly and complicated britain can only handle negotiations with two countries at a time although the u.k. home office argues it's actually up to four and that cost isn't an issue deportation with assurances remains a valuable policy which allows us to remove those who threaten to do us harm while meeting international human rights obligations authors of this latest report claim over forty foreign terrorist convicted in the u.k. have avoid. to partition using existing human rights laws including those freed after serving their sometimes shortened sentences such as the hardest with links to the failed july twenty first part in two thousand and five on legal aid and clearly that's a cost to the country on top of the general costs of security and it's not in some ways one might say it's not the most effective use of scarce resources in relation to creating security but nonetheless at the moment unless. we decide that we are
6:20 am
going to pull someone in breach of the european convention on human rights which we haven't decided to do and we haven't decided at the moment as you know to withdraw from the convention then we have to continue going through the legal process as it stands the last prominent deportation case won by the government cost taxpayers one point seven million pounds back in twenty thirteen but it's understood that no successful deportations have been carried out under this system since. r.t.e. london. germany's foreign minister has said he would like to see american nuclear weapons sent packing from his country gabrielle made the statement during a visit to washington where he met with his u.s. counterpart rex tillerson let's bring in our peter all over for more details on this story here and it's good to see you opposition. putting a nuclear weapon it stepped up pressure against the chancellor ahead of the
6:21 am
election. well it's a much needed pep in their step as you say their campaign is flagging but what we saw on this visit this official visit to the united states by l. was right at the very end he came out and he said that he would fully support what martin shultz has said in the past that u.s. nuclear weapons it's time to open dialogue about getting them off german soil. of course i'm convinced that we need to finally start talking about arms control and disarmament once again in this regard i agree with mr shultz is point that we need to get rid of the nuclear weapons the distinction did our country well it's understood that there are around twenty u.s. nuclear warheads in germany based in the southwest of the country and just last week the s.p.d. candidate for chancellor martin shultz the former european parliament president of course was down in turkey have right in the southwest of the country giving
6:22 am
a speech about how it was time to get rid of these nuclear weapons we can hear what he had to say right now. as. of the nuclear weapons currently stationed in germany. well sigma gabrial has said on defense in the past that the us is demands for a two percent of g.d.p. payment by all nato members was unrealistic for germany and it does seem that along with martin schultz they're pushing this no to nukes policy really because it's one of the few ones that they can really go with the german chancellor on the s.p. day the closest rivals to angola merkel currently trailed by around fourteen points if you look at the latest opinion polls in nuclear weapons is really the only position that they can attack angela merkel on the german chancellor is accused in some circles here in germany of following the american line far too closely
6:23 am
particularly when it comes to nuclear weapons and the esprit de want to set themselves aside in doing so they're going to put themselves in line with what has the party of peace really is how they're going to try and market themselves with just under a month to go before the german parliamentary elections take place here they're really far behind they're going to have to push very hard over the coming weeks if they're going to try and topple angela merkel from her position as german chancellor all right peter thank you. teachers and british schools are increasingly reporting cases of possible radicalization among students it comes amid widespread criticism of a government initiative called prevent which is aimed at combating the problem at the prevent strategy was introduced back in two thousand and six with three main objectives challenging ideology supporting terror of protecting vulnerable people also that of supporting sectors at risk of radicalization our critics claim it
6:24 am
alienates muslim communities and impacts human rights and freedom of expression earlier we discussed this with the founder of mothers against radical islam and shari'a tony bugle and from the muslim council of britain. well first of all i think that the numbers are actually the probably a lot higher because we have to ask ourselves how many are not being reported i think if these concerns are being brought forward by teaching them it's a real concern and one that we have to take very seriously and it's something that needs to be addressed now because it essentially is child abuse there is no other way of looking if you take a child and you teach a child that much hatred that to me is an awful thing to be teaching any child some of us are rightly concerned about the integrity of our country rightly concerned about the security of our people and rightly concerned about the issue of radicalization and terrorism get carried away by the perceived view of muslims and
6:25 am
islam in this country i think what we need to recognize is that as a general thing to say i really get tired of this whole you or me don't know months after that on the morning on a plane that's i would say you do do you come out with this rhetoric of some kind of which on this is hatred towards muslims the problem is these things are happening and when anybody says anything about it the first thing we're told is that we're islamophobia the fight against radicalization and terrorism is a fight of all of ours muslims more muslims all ally and therefore we have to be extremely careful that we do not create a condition and a narrative in which almost and are seen as suspect sometime that is what happens and i'm sorry if it offends people that we need to take this very seriously it needs to be dealt with and i would also to help why is it your can ease in doing more muslim community is doing whatever it can and should do but we as
6:26 am
a community has no greater responsibility than any other section of the society i see it again it is all of ours and we all have to fight and yes it was ideology and initiative had all. you say we need to be careful i say let's stop being careful and let's not she address this problem properly and talk of it head on without fear because that is what stops political correctness and fear is what stops us from watch addressing this problem as often international facts are joining us so far for a busy wednesday of worldwide news headlines so my colleague kate paunch will take over with your news in about half an hour's time thanks for joining us.
6:27 am
about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each spring . but then my feeling started to change you talked about more like it was a case still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave
6:28 am
6:29 am
we. we flew for these waters out there and these racist groups. and we find shot and shells people shooting at the migrants. twenty years ago i started going out to the desert like we're doing right now to bring water to people that are across because the people that are across you know quasi all the way they damn they cannot get visas there's no visas for these people so they risk their lives crossing of the desert or the mountains or the ocean where
6:30 am
other cities like san diego there's a wall where there's no cities there's no wall and that's where people cross and that's where people die so every summer more people die because of the wall that exists right now then the entire history of the berlin wall. and you can see this is part of operation gatekeeper one nine hundred ninety four and as we walk walk to the end right here just on the bottom of this little hill that's the the a wall that was george bush and if you look further down there's no wall. now is out of doubt most of the people in the united states do not want the wall all of the people in mexico do not want the wall and i guarantee you mexico is not going
6:31 am
to pay one penny for their wall because the wall this is stop people the wall kills people. so if trump builds what he wants to build it'll be a little longer a little higher it'll just take a little longer to cross but it's not going to stop anybody. if you're lucky of course. you can see that somebody was walking through here there's footprints right here. we put out maybe two or three thousand gallons every summer and i would say maybe three hundred of them or use another three hundred or sabotaged broken and and then some are just left out there maybe an animal or nobody ever uses them but as long as one of them is using to save one person's life. so we don't try to hide the bottles so we try to. bottle right here because what the person will do
6:32 am
is oftentimes are going to wait right here because of cars going to come later on so the main way to do it in the shade or in a teaser brush because they realize there's a border patrol coming through here to leave it in a spot that it's clearly visible that way here. just like that. the situation now is going really bad because a trump where you have all these hate crimes in attacks on people and and it's really sad. so now we have more volunteers than ever more donations because people are very mad people do not want donald trump. oftentimes behind those big routes up there they're sleeping bags and clothes because they this will hide all the way.
6:33 am
he says he wants to build a wall congress doesn't want him to build a wall the people of united states do not want a wall there's already a wall that covers a third of the border but i believe he will get a little bit of a wall built in addition to what already exists and then he's going to stop one because he didn't they don't have the money for it and to because there's no need for that wall. so this. is what the. liberals are leaving out for him they're leaving food and water. and before these bleeding heart liberals and started leaving water and stuff so that they would only make it in a couple of miles before they ran out of water and the reaching on the side of the road waiting to be picked up because they couldn't go any farther but now they know
6:34 am
there's water along the whole way. well if they didn't encourage him then there wouldn't be people coming over but they'd play the the p.t.t. card you know where it's like or saving lives were helping were all. used to helping in two of the biggest illegal activities in the country human smuggling and dope smuggling. looks like they had to leave in a hurry and. the animals got to it. who pressed it best. when he got there he was going to have a party. confederate. because he didn't realize he was this close to a road probably or
6:35 am
a car town and just took off so there's probably last night there was is trash everywhere. if you want to see any humanitarians doing this picking up trash. this political correct bolt needs to go away we need to enforce our own was. if i climbed over the fence and snuck into mexico it's automatic here in a mexican prison. i know what he want to do a year in a mexican prison you know here all's adap ins is their pictures taken their fingerprints are taken was thrown back over the fence. four days later they're back again live in this. see this they. pushed the fence down. they just step right through. there's a lot of spots where there's not even last or they cut it. down here at the bottom
6:36 am
. is a big wash this area right here on the other side where these big trees are that's what's called a lay up area so they'll come up and they'll sit there in the bushes and wave in mexico until the guy sitting up on that mountain tells them it's ok then they come across. we've heard from in the past four or five administrations going we need a fence for the in a wall when the defense they ok building the wall back in two thousand and one but they never gave the money for. stillness and politicians. who just tell you what you want to hear. we have to go back a hundred years we have to go backwards by that i mean one hundred years ago they
6:37 am
had al posts along the border and they had guys in the outpost and then they fanned out from the elbows and stop anyway and everything coming through. the people who are sick or a number of the. law and lunatic oh i'm living in. the middle. apostle woke him up in the temple will bungle so some of those men the most famous film the one with a pull the quote alone the last. of us up both to some of us that is a. what i. call
6:38 am
a discourse a. pleasant and almost total sadly but it's a joke i mean not in accord with them lesson but i want to. you know what it took him a bite out of who other friends of coretta. know i don't appear that it. was the little bit of. lost income or the little. bit of it that i mean by let's look at also my most immediate need and to get into the moment at that moment i don't mean oh.
6:39 am
yeah. the body of work and. that. i was driving under the influence. and i have got the police me. me. back to mexico i got a report of four years are all. i strained to well back to. los angeles. reporter fourteen times i went back thirteen times my fourth in all of science so i was trying to. well. i want to try. to boil them a little minute cute but i'm a boy. about them i look forward. to come up on one of the.

6:42 am
a little bit before this on the celestial get out of the traditional story son not just buy him some money yes you can ask we don't spend money into a school most days and i'm on my feet while the city's tried desperately not to collapse all powerful corporations collect the profit of. the supper will probably go on the dole coffee cup at home in the bushes up the on saabs knock up the supposed to me of a new and to. find balance. is a tourist phobia will fail fall into an identity. the two thousand and eight economic crisis turn some countries into pigs these are the countries with weaker economies that needed austerity policies if you are in a situation of flow bloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who
6:43 am
are unemployed see their wages decline almost a decade how good are the results. by the people gathered in which to watch people. will be she. mean to for legal. challenge must. think they see something and not get it. while the same mission is still in place to one of the consequences to. libor. will first one of this is the truth the consumer is the consequences are actually quite accept. the bow to the decision makers. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or
6:44 am
rejected. so when you want to be president or injured. or somehow want to be rescued. it's a right to be prosperous what before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of mccall's. first sip. a dream in your dreams or in english. you awake because somebody is watching you this time to memorise them to go but now they're talking to you in the spanish oh. you heard. so it's

community is refusing to budge as a native american tribe claims come first land. alone welcome to r.t. international coming to you live from moscow partridge. relations between nato allies america and turkey are again in the spotlight after u.s. led coalition forces exchanged fire with turkish rebels near the syrian city of man beach things are there explains how events unfolded. the u.s. has found itself between a rock and a hard place in syria namely between kurdish and turkish forces both of whom are supposed to be american allies but consider what another anime is and it seems tensions are on the rise with a coalition spokesperson revealing that u.s. backed forces exchanged fire with pro turkish rebels not once but several times in
7:03 am
recent weeks when patrolling areas held by the forces turkey supports. patrols that have been conducting patrols in the area to keep tensions down received multiple times over the course of the last two weeks now the u.s. has told turkey to pass on to the rebels they support that firing on u.s. led coalition forces is quote not acceptable adding that patrols will continue and warning that coalition forces are always prepared and ready to defend themselves if need be which is not exactly the kind of dialogue you'd expect between two major powers meant to be important friends and allies but the reality of the situation is that northern syria is now a metaphorical minefield of possible clashes with conflicting alliances that could unravel at the slightest misstep.
7:04 am
he remains a nato ally and an important part partner in the fight against dash we expect both those relationships there's more to our alicia's to continue. going to continue to work with the white b.g. as a part of we're urging syrian democratic forces. because i've told you many times you need to side with us terrorist nations you haven't had a good growth and that's why the region you see. up till now america has more or less managed to navigate the murky waters between the turks and kurds even deploying a number of troops to northern syria months ago with a specific task to turn the two parties from attacking one another but that effort
7:05 am
has met with little success leaving few surprised in the wake of these recent skirmishes and tracked conflicts like this one how little a long time coming if it's and then american military advisors go to our forces would not care if american. carries out there. by accident if you rockets can hit them now the u.s. was of course never invited into syria but rushed in anyway perhaps without fully understanding the lay of the land. now washington finds itself trying to keep peace between its own partners all the while distracting from the real enemy at hand i still just want to go r.t. washington d.c. and the battle to force iso from war torn iraq has devastated civilian lives in parts of the country with children particularly affected even before the liberation of mosul and the battle for tal afar the number of youngsters desperately in need
7:06 am
of help exceeded five million there are no present day figures but that number is now expected to be much higher auntie's what i guess the of takes a look at what problems these children face in the struggle for normal life. these children have seen more bloodshed and agony than most adults will in a lifetime nearly ninety percent of children have lost a member of a family either they were kidnapped or killed and when they were escaping from the fight many of them have lost family members they were shot at from behind or when they were falling on booby traps it has been a horrible experience. so this helicopter flies around. dropping down on the floor and crying some of them my some of them feel when they see for a mess some of them feel when they see you know people that they are not
7:07 am
comfortable in with some of them shut up and say no what for quite a long time until they could act what opened up definitely they go all the extreme distress and also physically unfortunately many of them are wounded. many of the hospitals we visit confirmed that. the biggest number of civilians they have in the hospitals are children traumatised in mind and body but alive lucky by local standards though let's be frank stuck in orphanages and refugee camps in iraq and you believe given the sheer magnitude of the problem thousands and thousands of orphans and little. do you believe you can adequately help them we are helping those sold and we we see certainly we don't have enough resources the children are almost everywhere but ultimately the support comes from
7:08 am
family from government and the extended family that once we connect children they are everybody scheme to receive them and the support of the problem is made. king the connection all of these orphans iraq so many a foreign children of isis fighters learn how busy it is much better a foreign children were reunited with their families they will have problems here with documents in schools with health care they need their families love problems is putting it lightly in iraq tribal culture venerates blood feuds and revenge isis harmed millions there are those who would use these children who hate them for what their parents did. vulnerable for all abuse they are vulnerable for trafficking or for. any danger that children
7:09 am
exposed to in today's technology any. bad group. could get those children and harmed them some of these lost children a raped their assaulted abused and abandoned killed for their organs hated for the sins of their fathers the un and uni said do what they can to protect them but there are too many getting them out is a reward unto itself. we helped identify and reunite a number of these shoulder and yet it isn't straightforward uni set for example once these kids identities protected fearing stigma or exploitation we know we tell our children it's playing chess. because if we do not
7:10 am
allow our children to normalize tensions that we do not know how do we think of allowing a child that have gone. really. crisis is. to expose him to a big comma it's a hard choice you can show their faces for everyone to see and let their relatives recognize them or pray that they find themselves one desperate young refugees among the rocks millions more i guess do you have. for many believe iraq. brown university a member of america's enemies ivy league group of universities and colleges has long made fixing historical injustice one of its key priorities.
7:11 am
people took things that didn't belong to them. without permission the people that they were taking from the communities they were taking from. i. know we are good to see how we use our. officers. to calm the dog. but now the university is on the defensive after a native american tribe sets up a protest count on its premises it says the land was stolen from the hundreds of years ago and now they want it back. we've done everything possible by law to engage the powers of the industry and we're just an invisible invisible tribe
7:12 am
we don't exist this was our principal approach and we want to see you back to our charges about our spiritual high ground here and hopefully. these things will come . or grown claims to have more relations with local indigenous tribes it helps annual meetings to raise awareness about minority group issues and it made headlines after renaming a federal holiday from columbus day to indigenous peoples day last year however when it comes to the tribes to mons the university is refusing to budge the block a naga tribe is not recognized by the federal government or more importantly by the other federal recognized indigenous communities there is an important technical difference between holding native ancestry and holding nation status and that is at the heart of the issue here. we encountered has already been on the campus for more
7:13 am
than a week the tribe insists it's staying there and is also taking the case to court the co-founder of the code pink activist group thinks the dispute shows the university's progressive talk is just a facade talk is cheap it certainly is the in thing now or corporations universities sports associations to talk that talk about how progressive they are to adopt the language but when the call is for land to be given back or for reparations to be made for slavery or anything that involves actual financial restitution that's where they draw the line. now germany's foreign minister has said he'd like to see american nuclear weapons removed from his country. made to the statements during a visit to washington where he met his u.s.
7:14 am
counterpart rex tillerson peter oliver as more but we saw on this visit this official visit to the united states gabriele was right at the very end he came out and he said that he would fully support what martin shultz has said in the past that u.s. nuclear weapons it's time to open a dialogue about getting them off german soil of course i'm convinced that we need to finally start talking about arms control and disarmament once again in this regard i agree with mr shultz is point that we need to get rid of the nuclear weapons that are stationed in our country. well it's understood that there are around twenty u.s. nuclear warheads in germany based in the southwest of the country and just last week the s.p.d. candidate for chancellor martin shultz the former european parliament president of course was down in turkey have it right in the southwest of the country giving a speech about how it was time to get rid of these nuclear weapons we can hear what
7:15 am
he had to say right now is. true of the nuclear weapons currently stationed in germany well sigma gabrial has said on defense in the past that the us is demands for a two percent of g.d.p. payment by all nato members was unrealistic for germany and it does seem that along with martin schultz they're pushing this no to nukes policy really because it's one of the few ones that they can really go with the german chancellor on the s.p. day the closest rivals to angola merkel currently trailed by around fourteen points if you look at the latest opinion polls in nuclear weapons is really the only position that they can attack angela merkel on the german chancellor is accused in some circles here in germany of following the american line far too closely particularly when it comes to nuclear weapons and the esprit de want to set themselves aside in doing so they've got to put themselves in line with what has
7:16 am
the party of peace really how they're going to try and market themselves with just under a month to go before the german parliamentary elections take place here they're really far behind they're going to have to push very hard over the coming weeks if they're going to try and topple angela merkel from her position as german chancellor. over back with more news out of the show for. one. seemed wrong. but. just don't. get to shape out. active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
7:17 am
7:18 am
what swedish officials call a vulnerable areas has now reached sixty one according to the same report up to five thousand criminals all believed to be living in them making up some of the two hundred criminal networks currently active there or the problems it is in all of this tricks which are heavily populated by migrants and they remain the same. they sell drugs openly they carry weapons i have heard that there are so many weapons in kissed that they could take over accused in a few hours. there has been
7:19 am
quite a lot of shooting very brutal mistreatment of entrepreneur her a lot of property. if you are not good at it that. you need to make clear shift in direction we cannot continue in this direction ten more years so i didn't used to do more we need to do more we need to focus on the serious here the problem is that cultural differences and that these immigrants who come to sweden to not want to integrate or some of them don't want to integrate we see this in is facially many of the european countries where they have taken a lot of immigrants we don't see it in for example poland hungary but in germany
7:20 am
in this country where i live in denmark we also have no horse farms in copenhagen for example and they're in sweden also so especially in the places where they have taken a lot of immigrants we see these problems also in france and belgium and in sweden in government people didn't want to admit that this is actually a problem so they one did don't want to mention. it no go some say yes no cold something's. britain's failing to deport foreign terrorists because it's too expensive according to an explosive report ordered by the government artie's anastasio finds out why.
7:21 am
the terror threat level in the u.k. is that severe discrepancies in the system set up to tackle terrorism are continually highlighted britain has been hit by four terrorist attacks in recent months and in three of those the attackers were known to the authorities one of the tools available to the u.k. in its fight against extremism is called deportation with assurances meaning suspects can be expelled if guarantees are in place they won't be treated badly back home centrally this could mean potential threats won't be able to be sent back to countries like syria libya sudan or yemen a report published this summer ordered by theresa may when she was home secretary has highlighted of rioting of cracks in the system only eleven people have been deported under this scheme and over twelve years and comparison france has deported one hundred and twenty the report also mentions the process is costly and complicated britain can only handle negotiations with two countries at a time although the u.k. home office argues it's actually up to four and that cost isn't an issue
7:22 am
deportation with assurances remains a valuable policy which allows us to remove those who threaten to do us harm while meeting international human rights obligations authors of this latest report claim over forty foreign terrorist convicted in the u.k. have avoided to partition using existing human rights laws including those freed after serving their sometimes shortened sentences such as the hottest with links to the failed july twenty first lot in two thousand and five legal aid and clearly that's a cost to the country on top of the general costs of security and it's not in some ways one might say it's not the most effective use of scatchard. source is in relation to creating security but at the moment unless. we decide that we are going to deport someone in breach of the european convention on human rights which we haven't decided to do and we haven't decided at the moment as you know to withdraw from the convention then we have to continue going through the
7:23 am
legal process as it stands but last prominent deportation case won by the government cost taxpayers one point seven million pounds back in twenty thirteen but it's understood that no successful deportations have been carried out under this system since. r.t.e. london. now the debate over freedom of speech in the u.s. has reignited with the state of california now at the forefront of the disagreement two right wing rallies were canceled over the weekend reviving calls to impose legal regulations to control hate speech and this rhetoric on both sides of the country's political debate escalates it's not clear who's going to be affected snick on the court banning or canceling right wing to rallies and even events featuring conservative speakers has become pretty commonplace within the past few months here in the us. and you know as well as i do that they have a message that we don't believe in the message of hate most recently organizers were compelled to cancel two rallies one in san francisco and the other in berkeley
7:24 am
i left has made another appearance in berkeley california planned to end time marxism rally on sunday was canceled because of fears of west wing violence those fears turned out to be justified. but was. ok it wasn't working space to stay back earlier this month the free speech rally in boston was labeled a white nationalist gathering despite denials by the events organizers we don't need to say but my message is clear to this group we don't want you we don't want you to comment now with hate speech accusations being thrown around the us remains the only modern democracy in the world without a legal definition of hate speech resulting essentially in the term coming to me i don't agree with the speech was. the. drone. so where do we draw the line and if the us does eventually take
7:25 am
a legal stand against hate speech would it not strike those accusing others of being white supremacists that's. not. the idea of hate speech being something legally outlawed has been rejected by the supreme court. it is rejected by all kinds of precedents but it reflects an underlying bad idea which is the idea that we should try to respond to words with force that's what hate speech law would be would be that this person said something we disagree with so we're going to use force to shut them up the war rhetoric will only escalate as both sides will defend their right to free expression but also use that speech as an excuse to shut down the other side of the spectrum. samir han our washington d.c. . moscow is ready to support the international mediation mission to resolve the crisis around the economic blockade that's according to russia's foreign minister sergey
7:26 am
lavrov who are him at his consumer account. reports surrogate flew into doha from the united arab emirates before that he had been talking to the official mediators kuwait mr lavrov has told journalists at the press conference that moscow wishes the blockade crisis war over as soon as possible although technically it is not a mediator in this conflict but russia remains in close contact with all the parties i asked foreign minister mohammad al tani about the real effects of the economic and political blockade and he replied to me that indeed still has been going through some very difficult times throughout the summer but the sanctions gave them an opportunity for alternatives when it comes to the economy and also taught them how to diversify trade and once again revealed that any nation
7:27 am
should know how to rely on itself there are always two sides to the story when it comes to putting political pressure through economic measures like this. i'll be back with more news at the top of the. basile in the dubrovnik in venice are all fixed travel destinations so it must be nice to live there or is it. crowds of tourists disrupt the city's economic and social life in them and to leave before the sun the celestial god was such a traditional story some not just stands by him some but to see that as we don't spend money in a school my face and i'm on my feet while the city's tried desperately not to collapse all powerful corporations collect the profit of
7:28 am
a nickel we'll put the couple who probably global on the dole coffee cup at home in the bushes up little on saabs knock up the suppose it's immunity. to. run. as a tourist phobia will fit into our own identity. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to. have to go right to be precise it's like that before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. first sip.
7:29 am
greetings and sal you see this week well the united states government convulses in the horror of having to react to another crisis of whether there are a few other or horror shows that have conveniently dock. under the radar of the news cycles let's start with the recent revelation that according to a bread roll court judge. the democratic national committee and former d.n.c. chair your friend and mine debbie wassermann schultz did indeed hold a bias and work to endorse hillary clinton at the expense of bernie sanders and his supporters despite dismissing the class action lawsuit brought by burning supporters seeking redress for lost campaign donations federal court judge williams lock in his court order states in a value waiting plaintiff's claims at this stage the court assumes their allegations are true that the d.n.c.
7:30 am
and wasserman schultz held a palpable bias in favor of clinton and sought to propel her ahead of her democratic opponent but while the d.n.c. primary rigging got off with really nothing more than a vigorous scolding by the judge attorney general jeff sessions and president donald trump decided that a militarized police force is a good police force speaking out the perturbed order of police police convention in nashville tennessee attorney general sessions exclaimed we will not put superficial concerns above public safety the executive board of the president will sign today will ensure that you can get the lifesaving gear that you need to do your job and send a strong message that we will not allow criminal activity by a once and lawlessness to become the new normal my jeff sessions and person nation yes because we all know armored personnel carriers and those lifesaving grenade launchers and bayonets are perfect perfect for combating all that criminal activity
7:31 am
and lawlessness lives but what happens when citizens practice their constitutionally protected rights of freedom of speech and assembly how how lawless of them so the d.n.c. gets to keep on cheating in law enforcement gets back to you know gets back their equipment beating on people looks like it's. yeah it looks like it's time for us to start watching the hawks. would you. like. as you were to pull out of it. like you know i got. this. week so. well corona watching the harks i am tyrol voted for and. so the d.m. c.
7:32 am
will slap on the wrist meanwhile hey let's put some more military gear back in the hands of the polies because they do so well with it they do they really do they love it really. right and you know what your show me earlier today illegal district so had they been great. police there's a police department that just takes care of the l.a. school district but they get them. tested for high school get before we get in the grenade launchers for high school kids because we all know that police guarding high school kids in l.a. apparently need grenade blowing right and obviously. law and order yes speaking of law nor a lack thereof federal judge williams lock dismissed the lawsuit the class action lawsuit that was brought against the b m c our good friend debbie. stating in a judicial order that even assuming that the allegations are true which she's basically saying look you have got assume the allegations are true that they did do
7:33 am
this it's impossible he's saying the judge is saying it's impossible to test any fraud claims against the d.n.c. in federal courts basically telling these people that like look whether this actually happened or not it's not up to the courts to decide whether this was right this is up for you because the d.n.c. is technically a private organization. to figure that out now d.m.c. does good public money so there's kind of a gray area there whether they're public or private at this point but that is up for others of the b m c democrats to solve themselves it's a private organization but you know a lot of private companies i mean corporations get tax breaks technically public funds are through but for they're not a government agency about why this whole act of war if then so many was an act of war you know and we should have done all this if that's all we're going to say and i don't care that it's a political party that or a private organization that's private citizens coming together doing that. private citizens got together and decided to steal the election for what i did i stole a lot of election battle and i think this is
7:34 am
a whole politics i'm sure the republicans have done and the same thing by a dad which is deflect from anything that's going on and make sure nobody wants i mean by the about the incident is there a little idea the judge did kind of wave a smart a little bit. yeah so lawyers for the d.n.c. as you said had argued this whole thing was they weren't bound by a law to create fair elections even though like we had during that they said well you know we could be in backrooms just decided with a bunch of people smoking and decide we don't have to even have primaries which is a whole very strange thing that's what angered and upset a lot of the progressive base so the judge kind of said this whole thing about that the argument that the d.n.c. lawyers made but impartiality and even handedness are nothing more than political rhetoric not enforceable in federal courts what he wrote was quote the court does not accept this trivialization of the d.n.c. is governing principles the d.n.c. through its charter has committed itself to
7:35 am
a higher principle and quote i would say the judge has to remind the democrats what they stand for they have to themselves up to hold themselves to our principle what they say they don't have to the democrats say they don't care how beautiful all old voted for these two parties it's absolutely ridiculous the idea that there is no problem i think that's all it is it's there's democratic principles are a wonderful thing as are certain republican principles the problem is nobody's following them anymore and even to judge that you know this judge is like no you know what you know there's a wonderful thing a military is probably. the american civil liberties agrees with. that through the media we have an epidemic in the united states of police using excessive force particularly against people of color with. the part of the logic to arm the police with weapons of war so well with the democrats on one side basically said. well actions are kind of we don't care we can be as we want and the republicans and from
7:36 am
the other side saying the police. what is there. in an effort to clean up our waterways and cut down on fossil fuels over the last decade governments around the world have started implementing various forms of taxes and bans on those thin plastic bags some of gently nudge consumers in the right direction by incentivizing reusable bags while others have taken a stricter approach implementing punitive taxes are banning and plastic outright no country however has taken an approach to chromium as kenya where after three attempts the government has finally succeeded in banning plastic bags because they're punishable by a fine of up to forty thousand dollars and four years in prison seriously and not only does the law target stores and businesses police will have the power to arrest anyone spotted carrying a plastic bag on the street so the question is how tough is too tough in the war on the ultra thin but ultra controversial plastic shopping bag wow what a lesson i never i never knew that this rule i mean i knew it was good for the
7:37 am
environment you don't want to use plastic but i didn't realize it was this heavy oh yeah there's no important. measure you know whole foods or trader joe's with a plastic bag of sugar water orders but instead of just the passive aggressive condescension you get from the person that they can't even bring around bags you. know it's going to be like you don't bring your own bags. police or your borders and forty graeme pearman over what's interesting is you're in the u.s. like in most places around the world we get let off easy we you know we'd like to you know complain all the. taxes you know the taxes we put in to try to get people to stop using course it will work but if you go to a place like ireland thirty seven as a great hong kong fifty actually there's a city in texas. the chargers as much as a dollar every time we use this plus the. many many many countries especially over
7:38 am
the ones i've actually complete ban is completely you can't use them whatsoever. for using them but i don't think anyone's really have this every year but for your final throw because of the present for using pasta you know that's serious one of the. thing is. it's there's a good side the downside of this it helps the environment obviously we shouldn't be using these petroleum products in general that's fine but there is a little bit of an issue that hasn't really been thought through is that kenya about three percent of their population actually is employed in plastic bag industry which is a tough thing when you're actually having all these manufacturers and people are getting jobs from it. so that's going to be a number a target that you know and you're talking about tens of thousands of workers that are i mean if the back if the band works that's great but what could end up happening is that you have kenyans who are living on two dollars a day. one more in less than two dollars
7:39 am
a day getting forty thousand dollar fines now this is a great it's going to disproportionately hurt poor people a lot more than it's going to hurt the people at the top. we always see that across the board and i think that's also an interesting microcosm of the look we have to stop using certain products we are using you know these plastic boiler and radical animals or microbial and things and yeah you know we've got to stop using things but at the same time that we stop using these things and get you know humanity off the addiction to it was the damage ourselves on the arab and around us we also have to start looking at what are we going to do to put in place to make up for the loss of job when you say ok the three percent of population come here works in the bad plastic bag making it a street. you've got to come up with something for those people to do otherwise like you said just that and those are out of a job now because you also have business owners who have put a lot of money into this and if african country after african country starts doing
7:40 am
this bostic bag bans and they may that's a huge part of a business in kenya and other places there those those business owners are going to be in alert and i know people are going to me to help and there needs to be some sort of structure and that is that's where that next stop is you can break a window you can get out to say pass a law but then you have to have that process of what do you want to get rid of the bad thing yeah exactly and i think we i think will see that i think we're going to see the resourcefulness step up people's you know humanity's resource gas pressure now we're going to step up and say now we have a better idea because we're going to do and i get all right as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know when you figure the topics we've covered a facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are dot com coming up terrible wallace to be o.b. truth behind the flooding that we're seeing take place in texas and then sean stone sits down with journalist. to discuss the latest on the crisis in venezuela's state .
7:41 am
7:42 am
a very bad idea it doesn't work it makes millions of people very unhappy those who are unemployed see their wages decline. decade how good are the results. by the. i mean to for legal. while the same measure is still in place who one of the consequences. of this is the truth you consider is the consequences are quite acceptable to the decision.
7:43 am
in response to the great mississippi river flood of one nine hundred twenty seven that displaced over six hundred thousand two hundred thousand of whom were poor minorities american poet robert lee frost wrote blood has been harder to dam back than water just when we think we have it impounded safe behind new barrier walls and lead it breaks away and some new kind of slaughter following the one nine hundred twenty seven flood than president herbert hoover did little to help the african-americans sparking the migration north to more industrialized cities led many blacks to leave the republican party and change the face of politics for a century this week's natural disaster in texas especially the houston area is a result not just of bad luck and increasingly violent storms but a political failing both to the residents of texas and to the land itself so what happened well part of the problem can be traced back to excessive unregulated
7:44 am
housing development in wetland areas nearly six point five million people currently reside in the houston woodlands sugarland area that makes up the metropolitan area including and surrounding the city of houston up from around four million people just twenty years ago more people coming to houston to pursue jobs in the booming energy health care and aerospace and biomedical fields meant the need for more housing and construction workers who would also need housing despite federal regulations governing need destruction of wetlands or saturated lands made up of marshes or swamps he used it has seen over fifty thousand acres of wetlands destroyed or paved over in the last twenty years houston's fort bend county saw fifty three percent increase in impervious surfaces like asphalt and concrete between two thousand and one and two thousand and eleven during the same time period harris county saw twenty six percent and crease and the k.t. prairie area saw
7:45 am
a seventy. percent increase of course houston needed homes no one can deny that but where and how those homes were built and the infrastructure around it has put the entire houston area and its two decade economic boom in serious jeopardy so weapons aren't just smelly places where mosquitoes live they play an incredibly important role in the abatement of flood waters and you probably ask yourself how does wetlands help in a flood well wetlands act as natural sponges that hold and slowly disperse things like rain snow melt ground water and most importantly flood waters according to the university of maryland center for environmental science natural ground cover like wetlands creates just ten percent runoff with the rest being absorbed in the air or ground into the water table but with impervious ground cover like concrete you get over fifty percent run off with only fifteen percent absorbing into the groundwater tables this means that the very flat city of houston is covered in asphalt and concrete to such an extent that when heavy rains and storms come which are more
7:46 am
frequent there just isn't anywhere for the water to go so it sits destroying homes and lives regulation should have done its job but as with most environmental regulations no one is overseeing the implementation or administering punishment to those who break these regulations and a lot of people are breaking those regulations in ninety nine it became federal policy that there would be no net loss to wait in the united states that means that of developers want to pave over a marsh they have to get a special permit and they must create mitigation for the last two years ago the houston chronicle found that over half of the permit records they reviewed showed little to no evidence of compliance with federal mandates compliance could be as little as just creating retention ponds they also found that since ninety ninety the army corps of engineers has issued over seven thousand permits to destroy wetlands in the houston area and they are in no position due to budget locals.
7:47 am
politics to change that right before retiring after eighteen years having houston's harris county flood control tester act might help told pro publica last fall that his office had no plans to study the effects of climate change that he doesn't believe in the scientific evidence that shows that development is making flooding worse and asserts that the idea that these magical sponges out in the prairie would have absorbed all that water is absurd here's the thing those retention ponds gutters and sewers are designed based on the science and natural activities of those magical sponges we call wetlands and well houston tired of floods are last year that guy hasn't got the budget or any staff says his appointment in may in addition republicans in congress are laser focused on removing any even more environmental regulations to building a housing development how democrats are more interested in clutching to conspiracy theories than protecting lives and the environment it doesn't seem like washing is
7:48 am
ten swamp will be very useful and bringing back the swamps we need. most definitely true to all of them. to the brilliant brilliant breakdown that you gave of what's going on in houston by also saying that the u.s.d.a. and natural resources conservation service did an inventory back and nineteen ninety two regarding weather lands being converted to other uses and by on the between eighty two and ninety ninety two around seven percent of us wetlands had already been converted into developments that's incredible in. my father's political career i want to get personal my father of political career was based on trying to save a wetland in the neighborhood i grew up with him when he ran for mayor of brooklyn park back in the rally of nine hundred ninety nine he was doing it because the city wanted to put him storm curb and gutters and storm sewers and basically pave everything over one we already had ditches in a well i'm going to act as a natural system we have water to. go and interview stores this is
