respected militants what he said to the presenter that he expected to be back in beirut in a number of days the background of the story if i can just summarize is that for the last year while mr hariri has been prime minister in lebanon there was a great deal of pressure and expectation on him from the saudis in particular new crown prince mohammed bin salman to redress and renegotiates the power balance in the region both in lebanon and outside lebanon and it's just emerged in the last twenty four hours about crude critical to this deal with the horse the crux of this entire to buckler is. the saudis believe that there's been a shift of hezbollah forces from lebanon to yemen in the last few months on the rocket attacks on the saudi capital riyadh which we've seen in the last couple of weeks have been responsible have been have been linked to hezbollah forces being in

yemen so we now have something on the table we can then go see it and wrangle with and there's a certain amount of pressure on her riri now to get back to lebanon to negotiate a deal with hezbollah where by possibly those forces could be removed from yemen as a token gesture now you come if he comes back to lebanon and most people suspect he will next few days he would have a lot more leverage on his side to negotiate a deal with hezbollah meanwhile the french president emmanuel mccrone has invited her riri and his family to france according to the president's office they are expected to arrive in the coming days. i spoke with crown prince mohammed bill sammon and prime minister saad hariri we agreed that i would invite the prime minister in his family to france for a few days is also a gesture of friendship in the willingness of france to contribute restoring calm and stability in lebanon. an anti-racist group in the u.k. has accused the european you. of criminalising people who help refugees cross

borders the institute of race relations claims that governments are taking advantage of people trafficking laws to punish humanitarian efforts now one person mentioned in the document is former u.k. soldier rob lowery he hit the headlines back in january two thousand and sixteen when french authorities charged him for trying to help a four year old girl and her father illegally cross into the u.k. he found them living in a sewer pipe at the notorious jungle camp in kalai rob spoke to r.t. if you know i went over to help. in france the notorious jungle and i was building shelters that. i befriended a young afghan girl and their father and she used to help me for many weeks and you know months building shelters until one day i found out she had a family who lived literally two miles from myself and i decided to you know with

with you know a little bit of thoughts of what would i decided to try and get still her family it was quite obvious that you know i didn't do it for money it was quite obvious i didn't do it for you know any political gain or anything like that it was quite will be she and i have purely did it out of the humanitarian the desire to help this little girl the french government the other three judges in the costs of all this for what it was they viewed it as a stupid act by next soldier. that crime of compassion as it was described in the media could have landed him five years in prison but his punishment was reduced to a one thousand hero fine here's rob again on the french authority if i could only presume that agenda would be that if they were to stop aid workers and humanitarians actually turn allies america with itself coupled with the fact that

donald trump is completely out of his depth with any kind of knowledge of refugees around the world so if the governments think by restricting humanitarian aid workers other volunteers are charities to help on the ground that kind of kid him selves in that kind of trying to sweep you know the issues under the under the cappy so to speak the situation is going to grow while we realize you know something has to be done coming up in the program a european country is accusing the u.s. of interfering in their upcoming election find out who after a short break. every single minute there's a new drug for some phantom disease like shakey like sentiment they make up then they get a grant from some corrupt congressmen in america billions of dollars and the side

effect is always make may mean do suicide to me and decide what you know that the american flag is inducing suicide because you look at that you say oh it's a form a caucus and. here's what people have been saying about rejected a night with you i was actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of party americans do the same we are apparently better than the blues nothing is better i see people you've never heard of love redacted the night my president of the world bank though he doesn't write me seriously he sent us an e-mail.

welcome back to the program the racial divide in the united states is being seized upon by a group of right wing activists they've been training school campuses with poster declaring it's ok to be white a move that's offending both students and teachers. an unidentified bunch of people have been plastering signs and stickers like these in neighborhoods and campuses across america claiming it's ok to be white wow one of the vice of comparing the nation is in shambles i live lake really shocked that someone like had the guts to do this because it's like we try to promote diversity so much but see in the melting pot that is america everyone is always proud of their heritage you have the african heritage studies you have the hispanic black jewish heritage months cultural appropriation movements and so on but these people who want to publicly state that there is nothing to be ashamed of being white are hiding their faces so

much for diversity harvard law school will not let that happen here we live work teach in learn together in a community that is stronger better and deeper because of our diversity we are taking this seriously and are investigating this incident this may be part of a concerted national campaign to form racial and political tension in our school and community but who would even come up with this crazy idea the ford chair and chat room the so-called troll kingdom these guys have been responsible for spreading trends and movements whose purpose was one thing only trolling and about two weeks ago they again initiated just that they asked their followers to spread this poster with very carefully crafted guidelines such as a no way coming in contact with the left keeping a polite non-aggressive font and no vandalism among a few other pointers amazing that was in it for chan created another obvious

trolling complain with the purpose of exposing many people's sensitivities making them act a little crazy towards a flyer. put it out there publicly to say hey we're going to told these people and see how they react the media knows it but these do react anyway because they think that this act is so reprehensible well before five letters on a regular she did paper is just going to destroy the whole world meanwhile a writer for the new york times is questioning whether it's right for his children to be friends with white people here's anthony brian logan again he blames the media for exaggerating the racial conflicts in the country well i think the racial problem is overblown i don't think there's really that many racial problems in the united states many of the problems they people think that we face are just rich made by people in the media like the guy who wrote the article in a new york times and many others most people pretty much get along there is some separation of people but they just is basically alone cultural lines that could be

within of races as well so it's not so much about this big racial division there is some racial tension but i think the media who wants to have that be the normal thing they pushy and some people unfortunately fall into it. there's a people in the southern african country of zimbabwe where the military has seized power in the tain the long time president robert mugabe on wednesday there were reports of heavy gunfire and explosions being heard in the capital tanks have been stationed at key points across harare after the military took over the state broadcaster now that move has prompted speculation of a possible coup but the military says it's targeting corrupt individuals around the president this was an intense power struggle within the country's leadership. with the crisis unfolding in zimbabwe let's take a look at who the key players are in the country first the president robert mugabe he's ninety three years old and has been at the helm for almost forty years next

his former vice president known as the crocodile he's been mugabe's right hand man says the very start his most trusted and loyal supporter and was tipped to become the successor. that was until mugabe unexpectedly sacked him earlier this month for disloyalty disrespect deceit fullness and unreliability why would mugabe do that many point the finger at his wife grace rumor has it gabi wanted to pave the way for the fifty two year old first lady to become the next president over the years greece has been ascending the political ladder thanks to her husband back in twenty fourteen she was appointed the head of the ruling party's women's league and despite enjoying some support for her charity work she's widely known in the country as gucci grace for her extravagant shopping sprees and lavish lifestyle. that doesn't sit well with many zimbabweans especially at

a time when the country is suffering a financial crisis given mugabe's age she started openly pressing him to choose a successor stating her interest in no uncertain terms so i have said to the president you can also leave me in charge you can also give me your position given the job and that we did very well because i am good i can do a great job but the sudden appearance of military in the streets of zimbabwe's capital could very well crush those aspirations. hungary has a kid's washington of trying to interfere in the country's upcoming election hunger in foreign ministry summoned the u.s. ambassador over plans to follow media the ministry of foreign affairs and trade has summoned the u.s. judge or defer asking for an explanation. and told him we consider this a political intervention by the u.s. department of state's head of the elections the us state department said on monday it would provide seven hundred thousand dollars for media outlets in hungary the

funds will be used to train and support local journalists and what the u.s. considers to be objective reporting daniel mcadams executive director at the ron paul institute believes this is a clear case of meddling well it is absolutely blatant political intervention the united states is going to go to the hunger in countryside it's going to prop up certain newspapers that it considers to be pro democracy which is pro washington and this is in advance of national elections coming up next year the state department has been opposed to viktor orbán his feet as party from the very beginning and this is absolutely a politically biased political motivated attempt to change the media in the home here in countryside and break up the popularity of the doorbell if you just government i would think it's hypocrisy on one part because without any evidence the u.s. accuses russia of intervening in its a turtle affairs in an election and then the u.s. blatantly overtly intervenes and interferes in hungary an election you don't go and

you know prop up certain newspapers in the countryside and it just in advance of an election and call not meddling and that if the russians were were subsidizing american media that was in favor of the russian favorite candidate the entire america would have a panic attack they've had a panic attack with no evidence so now it's absolutely poc received on the part of washington. and other news a right wing politician in denmark has caused a stir by calling for a ban on doctors with islamic beer and for up from the danish people's party has been highly critical of the growing muslim present presence in his country but his latest idea has drawn widespread ridicule.

all of the scientists come from every corner of the planet probably has there is a bomb point or another i believe in jesus christ had appeared in and he was there literally killing the secretary's mission there the whole idea of a being against a particular religion the thing for another religion descends very antiquated in the twenty first century and somebody beds is about as ridiculous as it sounds for all the wrong reasons. that's a wrap up of the news this hour but don't forget you can find the details of all of those stories and more at our website r.t. dot com and i'll be back at the top the hour with more so do stay with us.

i would see him we don't have any protection for the worst at all if you do have but i. think the public sector as well as in the private sector that information would have to be can be made public and that actually puts pressure on the parliament to become more on this. and. that business is in favor of all the public.

they get a grant from some corrupt congressmen in america billions of dollars and the side effect is all this make may do stu's i mean do suicide me and do suicide well you know that the american flag is inducing suicide because you look at that you say oh it's a farmer to conquer say. listen to a long. sleep . this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm bart chilton filling in and i'm beyond the machine coming up we'll talk cuba after president barack obama visited the island nation last year and the various restrictions there was an expectation that there would be a flaw in relations from the once antagonistic circumstance we've had for more than

fifty years now president trump is reversing course why we get into that and now after the failure to pass a repeal and replace of obamacare the focus shifted to getting tax reform and this year now republicans on capitol hill are trying to do a two part and adding health care to the tax legislation could we see two major legislative victories that here will tell us plus hotels and a home run away like air b.n. b. home away and b r b o co-exist in the shared economy how's that working out we'll get both sides but before he gets all that bianca talk about the major stories in finance and business on wednesday were turned cordray director of the consumer financial protection bureau announced his resignation in an e-mail sent to the agency's staff. wrote i'm confident that we will come that you will continue to move forward nurture this institution we've built together and maintain its essential value to the american public he added that he'll be gone by november adding your after nearly four years there the news follows lots of previous
