i asked my son what they did with the man who came to see them my son was stunned and said they made the right potato i asked what else they did he rape me that was his answer i was lost for words i called another mother she told me her kids had the same story. my son decided to tell me everything he told me i was so afraid they said they would draw me in family it would lock me up in real. for the rest of life thankfully. the. children say that one of the supervisors who brought them to this man and his friend just watched them being raped and all the boys saw how they gave money to

the supervisors the small children didn't even know what the banknotes were so they just described them as green bits of paper. and also the issue of the bags piece of. legislation yet it wasn't good enough to us that we need. to. believe it and assume they're ripping each other and also kids they're talking about it openly state here and tell the night to listen for yourself once they're talking about it their school how was. it. to be able.

to get was framed there accusing him of something he didn't do the director of the orphanage who let former inmates into the school they stayed overnight there they're the ones who did all of this with the kids and now they're just protecting each other. so i complained about wrongdoing at the orphanage about abuse he was so naive to do this he filed complaints about the orphanages directive that kids are taken for a walk in windsor without proper clothing that the older kids are beating up younger residents that they're not giving them food sometimes you know even in that you. investigate the claims of abuse in. now underway her child welfare specialists are also carrying out assessments of all from the judges in the chelyabinsk region we can tell you. the german justice minister is warning there could be a surge in the number of islamist extremists in the country's prisons in the coming years officials say that conditions in detention facilities are leaving many was

lame in made vulnerable to radicalization is a europe correspondent. germany's jails need to face up to the risks of islamic radicalization that says stats from law enforcement say that there's one hundred fifty dangerous islamists in the prison population and it's got politicians concerned. in the next few years who must expect away from extremists in our presents the number of. muslims is is big enough to. create a group who influence. others jews because of the others not organize in any form the number of terror investigations being launched is also on the rise at the end of last year the german government released the figures showing they launched five times as many terror probes in twenty seventeen as they

had done in the previous year with eighty percent of those having a link to radical islam that is putting a strain on germany's prison system in the city of college who prosecutors opened over a thousand terror investigations last year from hate preaches to assassins to battle hardened return needs from the fighting in syria all need to be housed among the prison population the police are also complaining about a lack of staff and resources to deal with the numbers while guarding against radicalization with the elite berlijn anti terror unit amongst those calling for help and resources union say there are dangerous shortfalls across the board we have too few civil servants and employees in the penal system in germany we estimated two thousand people are needed as well as security personnel psychologists teachers a medical staff staff are doing a lot of overtime it's not just a german problem in the u.k.

the government has warned about self-styled m.e. is actively looking to recruit. people in jail while in france radical islam in prison was blamed for a strike by guards who say it's no longer a safe place to work you know the justice minister has allegedly offered an increase in salary to prison guards but the people here say it's just not enough what they want is a safe working environment and it's something they want right now the german coalition deal between angle of merkel's conservatives and the social democrats has promised an extra two thousand staff for the judiciary however these are mostly jobs in the courts not in prisons themselves where there's a need for people to identify and work to stop those detainees looking to spread islamic extremism in jail there are societies not prepared for dealing with such problems so i think we have to really think turn up just so usually the legal basis

is of course that parliament would need to be prepared to discuss debate it decided what is the purpose of keeping them in our prisons instead of solving the problem by sending them deporting them back to their countries of origin deportation is something that threatens their existence and therefore i think this would be much much stronger of a signal compared to just social reintegration programs in prisons. also the news today and gun campaigners in america are stepping up their fight to have new firearms laws passed they've now published a list of over two hundred fifty members of congress and they accuse of receiving money from the national rifle association which is a powerful lobby group a long running row over gun control is intensified of course since last week florida school massacre was seventeen people were killed trustees led to a wave of impassioned calls for action to finally be taken. this is my pretty been. legally registered a ar fifteen which i purchased

a little thirty years i've decided today. i'm going to make sure this weapon will never be able to take a life. and. feel now. one way. well despite clearly heightened emotions across the us right now for it all there are still many continue to staunchly defend their right to buy and carry guns when we discussed it on air earlier we heard pleas for tighter controls to protect schools on one side but they were roundly rejected by gun supporters on the other who suggest the solution is to arm the teachers. when you think about the power of the n.r.a. you really have to think about the control of the narrative that they have in the way that politicians that are for more guns and against gun control you know pretty much for repeat the same buzz buzz lines and points that the n.r.a.

kind of puts out this is totally overblown to suggest that any one group has way more sway or the ability to like truly put lives in danger to enter a certainly as is a powerful special interest group but there's probably you know a dozen twenty thirty i don't know it's hard to say who is more powerful but if the power of the n.r.a. is not in their campaign contributions it's the way they reflecting the american people who value their liberties i think it's false vats the majority of american people supports what the n.r.a. puts out there many studies have actually shown that many people on the ground actually don't exactly support the same line by line arguments at the n.r.a. you put out there after the florida shooting president trump said he believes teachers should be armed which is a controversial stance in of itself well let's take a listen to his exact words it's called concealed carry where a teacher would have

a concealed gun on them they'd go for special training and they would. be there and you would no longer have a gun free zone gun free zone to a maniac. because they're all cowards the gun free zone is let's go in and let's attack because bullets aren't coming back at us that is the only step that could reasonably protect every kid in america today you can ban all the guns you want today you can ban every sale every manufacturer you're not going to stop a single shooting killer every killer is going to find a gun there are over two hundred thirty million guns and almost one per person in this country you're not going to get rid of them and you shouldn't get rid of them they were the best way to defend against a criminal with a gun is somebody who is loved by eating with a gun if we're talking about specifically education and schools we really have to think reflect and think what does education really mean to us and if we want to

militarize these areas if we want to introduce weapons and encourage teachers to carry weapons i think that that's absurd and you know for me and for the majority of american schools are a place of human development and growth and free thinking and critical thinking and not a place for weaponize suppression and fear and intimidation which happens from guns because that's what they do they kill a lot of motions on both sides that i leave you with full of snow across all the latest to both good not so good coming in today from those little pigs in south korea from the heaven oh and thanks for watching.

a play for many clubs over the gays so i know the game inside out. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch or the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each of killian erroneous and spending two to twenty million of them play it. it's an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game but great so it will transfer. the piece is going to. new charges filed against former trump campaign chairman paul not a forte in the russian investigation the charges were put under seal was one hind muller's latest move we'll take

a look at that on this edition of politic. welcome to politicking on larry king on wednesday special counsel robert mueller filed new criminal charges against paul not afford the former manager of donald trump's twenty sixteen campaign but mr muller placed the charges under seal obscuring the nature and import of them leaving many to wonder what this development means we'll start there with richard. clarke university of minnesota he was the chief white house ethics lawyer during the administration of george w. bush and he's currently vice chair for citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington he joins us from minneapolis ok richard what do you make of this and why do you think it's sealed. well the number is a prosecutor would want

a sale and indictment portions of an indictment and usually other reason is to not disclose to other potential subjects of the investigation of the information that the prosecutor know. and he is continuing to investigate a number of different things not just the money laundering with respect to the mastermind of fort mr gates but also the russian ferrous and the election whether they had anything to do with it and there are a number of people being investigated in connection with the russian inner ferret's with a election and robert miller may not want to tip his hat as to what he is and what he doesn't know what the stage of the investigation the judge and the judge has to approve that right yes the judge approves it's filed under sail the judge thinks it's a reasonable request to file it under sail the judge will. will keep it under sail

at least for the time being it will eventually get out it would be really very very difficult not impossible that someone criminally with an indictment that remains under sail through the trial is it generally the indictment of another person or could be in addition to the indictments of gates and men of war it could be on or there could very well be indictments of other persons that have been filed under sail but this sounds like it's an addition to the indictments of gates and matter for there are media reports that men and force a gates is negotiating a plea deal with the mole or is that going to be troublesome eventually for the white house. well you should these play details are troublesome for anyone else who is the subject of the investigation because the played a. way involves an understanding that the person who is pleading guilty will also

cooperate with the government fully and completely and if they do not cooperate then the play deal is off and the charges get ramped up the more play dalles that molar strikes like this where someone pleads guilty and then cooperates the more information he's going to get and he's already got a couple in the bag a couple of canary birds in the cage i might say andy's going to be adding more as he goes along also and was a trump attacked attorney general jeff sessions tweeting that his people should ask him why the obama administration isn't the focus of the russia probe what do you make of that well if he is suggesting and that he was struck to his attorney general to investigate they obama administration or hillary clinton that investigate his political enemies and prosecute his political enemies that is abuse of power that is exactly the type of thing that

a president should be removed for that was one of the concerns with respect to president nixon one of the reasons he would have been in page to fear and not resign the use of the power of the justice the pa going to get political enemies that's not something we're going to tolerate in a backcross way and that is not the type of fight we should tolerate from our president was donald trump jr's on a trip to india this week helping sell a condominiums in the trump organization project which was started before his father was elected president the state department says in a statement the don junior's visiting india as a private citizen and not as in a fish in any official capacity for the government do you have any problem with that richard. i got a lot of problems with it first the president of the united states donald trump continues to own all of or a vast share of the businesses that are being operated by donald trump showing you're an eric trump his brother so the conflicts of interest grow we're right out

of the white house second there may be foreign government money for foreign sovereign wealth fund money foreign government owned bank money coming into these deals and if so that's a violation of the constitution the monuments clause of the gust to ship or have it's a united states government official from receiving any money profits or benefits from dealings of foreign governments third we have a situation where donald trump jr is apparently talking about united states foreign policy on these trips so he's talking about united states government policy at the same time as he's trying to cut they'll then raise money for the trump organization that suggests a close relationship between the two and somebody somewhere is going to cross a line it is suggesting a quid pro quo and the minute that happens you have a credible if ounce of soliciting a bribe offering a bribe or could spare a say to bribe a public official and you would not need to present the united states or in the

white house to go along with a quid pro quo to have criminal conduct taking place in india or anywhere else so he is very very ill advised to be talking about united states government business the united states foreign policy at the same time to seize try to solicit money for his kata many names usually you make thank you and on twitter speak out against trent in the in a call to the bully. and what do you make of all these kids in the rally in the march coming to washington that they're concerned for their fill schoolmates who are shut down. i think the kids are scared that i want a base shot because this could happen to any school any place and we don't have reasonable gun measures we don't require even registration of these assault weapons so you know where they are there no measures taken to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous by people and we have had more school shootings than

a country in the world it's a very dangerous situation we're not protecting our kids and they're upset about it i'm glad to say the younger generation taking. taking action making out all i've heard from the right way made in the white house a number of people who are trying to kill some of these kids a big play actors or something like that now this is the real they all this is not theater which is always thanks so much for your time today well thank you very much larry i'm not joined by bob livingston former republican member of congress from louisiana and founding partner of the livingston group we're going to talk to him about lots of things including gun legislation the russian investigation and the latest controversy to engulf the white house over security clearances for top days in the term the administration he joins us from washington ok bob we have another tragedy terrible shooting in florida kids are taking action i know you support

strongly the second amendment what do you think washington jefferson adams hamilton would have thought about these school shootings. well larry this is a phenomenon that's been going on for the last ten or twenty years and it's just tragic marred goes out to all of the families who have lost young ones and also to the people that were wounded there's there's no explaining it it's madness it's evil. we'd like it to stop immediately but the gun didn't walk into that school and do it by itself it a human being crazed walked in and shot killed seventeen people and a lot of other people. all young wonderful people snubbed out in the prime of life . larry. lost a son as a parent i know exactly what those people are going through it was an accident it wasn't anything like this but it was still much too hard to bear. but. good

motional islam doesn't cure this thing. emotionalism and passing laws won't solve the problem if laws would solve the problem in chicago there wouldn't be ten murders a week or whatever they are one hundred hundreds of murders in the last few years because they've got the strongest gun laws around gun laws can't solve it we've got to use common sense and we've got to stop it by putting armed guards in schools of necessary i think that's will stop it we can increase the. regulations on. making sure that mentally ill people don't get guns there already are laws on the books for that but they need to be strengthened i'm sure we need to probably do is the president said and pass these by

a bump stock things that make. guns more automatic than they are and we may entertain trying to cut down. a magic rifles both with stronger laws than are possible but somebody can walk in with a pistol and kill a bunch of people and all of the a r fifteen laws are going to solve that they can take a car and run over people and no gun law will stop that we've got to realize that humanity has just gone bizarre in the last thirty years. maybe this too many people but i'm going to change that but obama put down strong stetsons against mr. well i. and what about the end of power in the n.r.a. in this country is immense you got to admit that bob. an ira is not doing anything

other than expressing the views. and as in congress when they're giving him a lot of money. the money's not that's not the issue the issue is abiding by the constitution you know for every person that's killed there are thousands of people who don't want to be killed and want to have a gun to protect themselves if somebody and i walks into their house and tries to attack their family so it's we really have to understand passing laws don't work if if passing laws worked there wouldn't be any killings in chicago they would many killings in washington d.c. because they have strong gun laws. no it's passage of simple us if a person larry is going to commit murder he doesn't care much whether or not he violates the law and that's really what it comes down to we've got to somehow get a hold on mentally.
