yahoo's policy even as a german. you know there is another side to all of this though in his work honey chance mocked and criticized other world leaders as well though this cartoon here comparing turkey's president of the one to stalin and the hitler but that time around when there was an outcry the newspaper defended the artist freedom of speech we heard from israeli journalist gideon levy he says european media outlets are trying to avoid criticizing israel to avoid being accused of anti semitism. whenever it comes to israel not only turn ateneo to israel in general immediately the european media is being accused and the symmetries and while any other leader can do whatever you want whenever you draw israeli statesmen whenever you criticize israel immediately it comes up all on the symmetries and and europe is afraid really scared paralyzed of being labeled as

anti semite rightly so by the way the only problem is that this has nothing to lose on this and it isn't and i hope the german colleagues in the german media will raise a voice of protest against the scandal of firing this cartoon it's. a mother of one of the victims of the texas school massacre has revealed her daughter had rejected the shooter shortly before the deadly attack at the motives of seventeen year old to me transports its who killed ten people on friday a still unknown the girl that was one of the very first who was killed in the shooting. started shooting several people down to florida. i don't want to. learn it didn't. know my friend got shot in our new home. once when

on every. and you just started running outside and they think you know everybody in that you you're. just random thing to the years that i get high. according to some american media the number of people killed in school shootings in twenty eighteen is more than twice as high as the number of fatalities among military post i know however it should be noted that the number of us students is fall greater than the number of military personnel but inevitably the latest shooting has reignited america's gun control debate as caleb mufon reports in the aftermath of yet another school shooting the gun control debate is heating up again you know we have to do everything human we possible to keep guns out of the wrong hands they mention background checks for gun sales faster background checks ok our

strategies to keep guns away from people like this guy i want to ban have a total ban on assault weapons anyone who carries that gun openly is willing to use it to kill someone it is a shame that the united states congress has not done anything anything to protect protect our students from gun violence there's all kinds of proposals in congress to stop and limit gun sales however is selling new guns really the issue at this point there's over three hundred fifty seven million guns in the united states that's more guns than people and at this point over four hundred thousand guns are stolen on average each year to put it simply the usa is awash in guns and the firearms owners protection act makes it illegal to track them the f.b.i. can conduct criminal background checks on the people who purchase firearms but there's a catch the records of those background checks must be destroyed within twenty four hours so that no record can be kept of who purchased what gun congress now has for

proposals. on the table two of them are for tougher background checks another is an outright ban on the sale of assault rifles and in addition to that there's a proposal to lift the age for purchasing firearms from eighteen to twenty one all of these proposals impact gun sales but don't do anything about the millions of firearms floating around already even if there were miraculously some new gun laws that made it much more difficult to buy guns guns that are already in circulation are enough to keep killing people for decades to come so that's why there needs to be a whole host of new regulations that gun owners have to be registered that the guns have to be registered and much more control over the black market sale of guns the problem is everything it's all weapons it's the gun culture it's the lack. of the money into our schools so they have the counselors they need but will it be

enough to change the second amendment in this country unfortunately i don't think so. locked in a fight for clean water claiming british cultural businesses are depleting local supplies for example here on the right is what the main rip off to talk of village knowledge looks like previously one of the main swimming locations that is now fully dried up through years of permanent use to irrigate u.k. owned avocado plantations a new report says locals have to resort to drinking water with high levels of human waste. but it is people who thought he. was. one of them so nobody. got him and that. i don't know that. and are now believe that if you talk a province is the country's largest avocado producing region and villages cultural

company. yes of illegally destroying water reserves with rivers in the region drying up and people being forced to use polluted water avocado farming it does require a lot of water use local say producers of violating their rights. in some way lot well we collect water from the bath shower dishwasher and here you can see the foam we used the same water to water trees and to give a little life to the field because we don't wanted to stay dry forever we hope one day the water will return. it ws as a go i think this river basically droid because the province of to talk of became the country's most important district in avocado production exports those exports the being made at the expense of and in violation of the human rights. wanting us here on there is a lot of anger and pain and suffering from seeing that they accumulate large amounts of water while the rural community is drinking one of from water trucks.

meantime e.u. avocado imports are on the rise saying one hundred million euro plus increase in the space of two years alexander pena's pinto from the environmental group that published the report on chile says the water shortages there have existed for almost ten years. lifeguard be going to burlington too if your theory since you don't have enough water to really get your plants and to raise your any money and then remove it doesn't exist anymore is dr promoted and dangerous has become our god because dumb people is one of the river now you don't have nothing of the last year and she explores more than a hundred sixty thousand tons of salt i'm. thirty two thousand more than two thousand and six you believe the expertise is increasing that's because a bracelet i look at it can go for that and the other the benefits of it by the end of my work out anything to do with you is in china last is

a group another group will benefit from this situation now that is a company that supplied its products to the little water because the government has invested in more than one hundred and twenty six media over euros in the last six years for what is the playbacks mark miss that really key question who benefits suddenly not in. the british retail consortium representing the major supermarkets in the u.k. it says all of the shops are now aware of these allegations raised its representative say the problem is going to be tackled as one of their main objectives is keeping the welfare of people and communities safe. so almost all of the votes counted in the presidential election in venezuela we'll give you the results on much more after the break.

but politicians 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 be. answered right to be for us to see what the full story of the morning can be good that. i'm interested always in the laws of. this city.

the polls have now closed in venezuela and with almost all of the votes counted the incumbent president nicolas my daughter looks to be reelected with about sixty eight percent of the vote however has been criticized with some opposition figures refusing to take part citing electoral fraud well for weeks the us has been demanding the election be suspended calling it a shot on friday washington impose sanctions on some of the top brass in the country's ruling party accusing them among other things of drug trafficking. the government in caracas fired back saying washington is just frustrated as a couldn't change the course of the election. radically aeration just a show of this to ration the price of the participation and the developments of the

election in venezuela they don't have the minimum capacity to top rate in this time the message that the venezuelan people are sending or they don't have the minimum capacity for their only capacities to wipe out and. has its own way. my president my daughter has also promised to restore the economy to counter the effects of u.s. sanctions professor of global and latin america studies william robinson says the current poor state of the venezuelan economy is not the fault of the majority government alone. downplaying the mismanagement of the economy by its image or government by the venezuelan government but i want to point out that the us has imposed a financial blockade and economic strangulation on the country so that includes that venezuela cannot we negotiate its debt venezuela cannot get credit to invest in the oil sector or earn anything else than a swirly cannot import its medicines and other and other goods and then there is internal hoarding and we have all of the documentation and this is not new that the united states has encouraged the opposition business community to in turn to do

economics ever charged in that cell of the black market so all of these different factors are coming together so again i think that the u.s. strategy is to strangulate economically the country and that combines with the government's mismanagement an over reliance on oil there's also been a tolerance of corruption absolutely corruption should be cracked down on it is also a bureaucracy so all of these factors come together but again i want to highlight the u.s. role because for me that's the biggest story here in these elections. now to south africa chaotic scenes could be seen on sunday in cape town where the police were locked in battle with protesters who were taken to the streets demanding land and housing.

clashes erupted in the palm wood area of cape town after more than two hundred residents gathered to vent their anger at police fired rubber bullets through stun grenades and protesters all described old residents threw molotov cocktails and set fire to tires i thought africa is known for its strong protest movement media even calling it the protests capital of the world. u.s. presidential candidate hillary clinton has attended a graduation ceremony at yale university and she followed tradition by wearing an unconventional hat a russian was good to have. u.s. president donald trump has raised the stakes by threatening to investigate the f.b.i. trump tweeted that he would make an official announcement on monday he wants the

department of justice to look into whether the obama administration directed the bureau to snoop on his presidential campaign for political purposes it's an allegation he's made before that was slammed in the media when he first made it. as far as. wiretapping i guess by you know this past administration at least we have something in common where is the proof that anyone here disagree he wasn't holding anybody otic where to get these ideas where is he getting his information the intelligence committee has not seen evidence of this is occurred what the president charged president obama with wiretapping him it's not true there was no thoughts wiretap. but now the american media have done a u. turn of sorts by an f.b.i. mole in trump's campaign team yes suspected informant his stuff on how a seventy three year old professor from cambridge university in the u.k. he's a u.s.

citizen with longstanding links to american and british intelligence and served in three republican administrations it was reportedly part of a nine hundred eighty s. high profile spying operation for ronald reagan's campaign that infiltrated president jimmy carter's administration now the d.o.j. and the f.b.i. didn't deny media allegations that there was a mole in the trunk campaign but they just quibbled with the language or using the word informant by they refused to name him for security reasons when the political commentator steve malzberg says such spying is a wiring sign for democracy. if the obama administration played a role in putting a spy you could call an informant out to spy inside the presidential campaign of the opposition party i mean you know this is this is huge they say bigger than watergate this just wipes watergate bush's war get right off the map can you

imagine what this means for our democracy and reportedly steffen help for not only met with george papadopoulos more to get him paid for a trip for him to come to london and then end papadopoulos didn't know who this guy was basically and then when he got there and he was meeting with them said so you know all about the hacking of the russian e-mails right but he also tried to get the cochairman of the truck campaign to enlist him hire him as a foreign policy advisor so he was trying to get inside the campaign right there for all to see never of course telling him he's investigating anything said to me that's a spy it is an international thanks for sharing some of your monday with us here on this channel your. program which runs with more research.

banks and other financial for vinyl john today was all about money laundering first to visit this cash into three different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas or became an island or do we go all these banks are complicit in the rights of congress to decide to give mccall and say ok i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got home got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again for a match you know what money laundering is highly illegal. much kaiser of course. in some american cities the police have built themselves cling to reputation for people who walk on the streets of the united states who are at risk from the very

people who are supposed to protect that poor people are no more afraid of the police than. you can see something happening this is like i don't want to call the cops. rather than call the cops in those young black men lose their lives chasing the same goods on the trigger you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to pull a gun yet unfortunately around around here we end up killing our guns are. stolen from such preclusion this place to. welcome to sophie and comb sophie shevardnadze the american pullout out of the iran

nuclear deal is causing a headache to think europeans guarantors off the treaty in case of germany's threatening firms that made a large investment in iran will berlin and the e.u. deal with this well i ask again to our friend who again former vice president of the european commission. washington scuttling over the iran nuclear deal that's taken europe by surprise german business in the middle eastern country now under threat of renewed american sanctions maybe turning to russia to keep the nuclear agreement on board can be on debacle restore broken times between russia and germany will occur injuries be able to mount a concerted effort to maintain the nuclear deal and will it be enough to save it cantor for her again former vice president of the european commission welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us today. hello sophie good to see you so after trump took america out of the it on deal which means that you are paying

companies a need on maybe subjects to american sanctions they fired back actually waiting a law that would block european companies from complying with us to say on it on any your opinion who is going to out sanction who here the united states or here of . the three. d. americans have to biggest stick here if you will know you'll be a company or drive and make a for instance and you would look at the figures what kind of business are you doing and you know what kind of business are you doing in the united states do you have that much choice and you will decide to not to invest in. continue to invest and to make business in the u.s. and if the european union really promise to compensate for all the losses. i can promise you that goes far beyond the financial capacities of the european

union so i'm really afraid that the american american policy of unique union that the election the american policy of taking hostage other nations and companies can be successful at the end so that european statute that has been activated prohibits companies from canceling their business with iran due to american sanctions so say that if i do european company it on i have to suffer the consequences brought on to me by the americans and if i quit on them e.u. will go after me doesn't this put a u. kompany is between the devil and the deep blue sea how is that making their life easier annoy i don't think that the problem is. all of the companies. in india and the problem is that the promise

that went with the. deal was that we would do more. to develop the economy and to increase their living standard of people much much more investment than we have done in the past and what i have said is and i would like to the pete that you cannot expect new major investment in the coming four major companies in particular those who are. who are leading in technology and innovation and what i'm really afraid that the american american action. will. get and we have no real defense against it so regardless of europe's countermeasure still he's saying the deal will survive without the americans i think it could it depends very much on

the coal pollution between begun to countries in particular russia china. and to european countries as far as i can see they are committed to it to do everything they can to keep the dealer life for the people in iran of course the question will be does it be at the end of that i can or cannot see but we can see. this deal is clearly the deed and this idiot in jeopardy is the whole system of nuclear and on put it fully should not only in the middle east but but everywhere and it might change the whole security pattern of the book which would have only serious very busy a serious situation. and in this situation it would be extremely important to augur nice cooperation between the us or. of the dia i have already

mentioned in order to create a count of eight so in the wake of the united states' decision on it on donald tusk says that with friends like us you don't need enemies and trying to set the same can be said about a u r u s m e u n m is from now on. absolutely not i must say. well and i like him very much and normally he is not using strong words. of us it is surprise so my understanding was that he was. angrily about the communication is the americans wouldn't use the term enemy but it is obvious. but the ship between united states and do you opinion is entering

a new new age it's it's not like it wasn't. more or less the americans at the europeans shit the same use. except it that americans have to do to ship. to the americans. enough to provide security i think that's finished that's finished and been need to leave the fine. ship and the only thing i would like to see is i know it's be in you'll be should not make the mistake to believe that the presidency. is just. a short short living mistake. i'm afraid that trump is scruples and doing america much more than obama group was and to do america should be oh well this policy will probably continue with the

america i mean the america first policy so the french finance minister is calling on the european leaders to defend europe's economic sovereignty from the united states now at the same time he and his german colleagues are courting their u.s. counterparts the new chain trying to get exceptions for is there a company's from the looming sanctions so kind of sour and it is this if europe is repeatedly finding itself in betting positions towards the united states. you know it's the old the old problem the discussion is really old. how to do is to americans and to different views. then you need to have to have to work i have to confess and i'm not surprised because the french interests and the german interests a different you know it's not the same and so far. it's the two shits did not manage. to create

a common position and my my view is that it would be difficult very difficult do we want to have to create a trade war with united states and united states is the strongest economic partner for you opinion and vice versa. very much dependent on each as or there will be no win no winner. in a trade war and my view is it should be avoided as much as become difficult because not except that the americans dictate the terms of the business has to be it has to be partnership but as long as they do not know whether the partnership is levy finished should try to keep it alive so in germany he was previously slammed by the united states for failing to pay its share of to percent

of its g.d.p. to the nato budget tromp now assess member countries must pay four percent of their g.d.p. to nato it's your money planning to meet this target if almost nobody viewer up is even meeting the two percent are you how is washington going to make everyone pay for i can tell you that's a strong majority of germans and in my view a strong majority of europeans every b.-a is slick against the new one. does soon. not see didn't meet. higher defense spending. by. that defense meant this we have started to do that but. i would stick the oppose the idea that if you have to spend two percent.

a common defense and it's in my view an even higher percentage is. not debatable so trombones so says that those underpaying to the nato budget will be dealt with whatever that means that's almost whatever that's almost at the same time as haste threatening sanctions on europe over iran i mean why does europe and germany in particular our united states to play quell them here and there because that's what it looks like from the outside. yes i. do you. get to it. be. american but is he was always a mixture. of megalomania and strict obedience so we never we never found the. middle ear

so we need to need to discuss no. people off and need to tell the. american friends that until no. less exis most again. full the full peace but. but. debt excess this is disappear as. the bill have more tensions vill have to build have more conflict. come closer. to the final to perhaps they define a complete and nobody nobody even mr tribe i believe nobody can convert anyone had to be the must do i was saying be kind to to prevent a situation from happening.
