european media outlets are trying to avoid criticizing israel to avoid being accused of anti semitism whenever it comes to israel not only to an attorney oh to israel in general immediately the european media is scared of being accused and this image isn't why any other leader can do whatever you want whenever you draw israeli statesmen whenever you criticize israel immediately it comes up all on this image isn't 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 and this time it isn't and i hope the german colleagues in the german media will raise their 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 demetrius because it's who killed ten people on friday a still unknown though the girl was one of the very first who was killed in the shooting. active shooter several people down in egypt worried about him. i don't know we're not. there it didn't surprise him a friend got shot in our home and you see the alarms went off and everybody just started running outside and they think you know everybody in that you you're. doing what you meant it is randy's value thanks to the years for it that i can hide.

according to some american media the number of people killed in school shootings in twenty eighteen is more than twice higher than the number of fatalities among military personnel 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 maupin 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 that 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 purchased 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 the amount of guns that are already in circulation are enough to keep killing people for decades to come so that's why there need to be a whole host of new regulations they gun owners have to be registered with 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 living 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. villages and locked in a fight for clean water claiming farms and supplying supermarkets that depleting the local supplies here on the right for example is what the main river of petaca village now looks like previously one of the main swimming locations that is now fully dried up through years of permanent use to irrigate avocado plantations and

you report says locals have to resort to drinking water with high levels of human waste. but getting people to to go. yeah the pursuit of nuclear winter they are one of the well so not only those cattle and bones that they can sign on with for us i don't know that oh well . and. believe me they can but these are all the talk of provinces the country's largest avocado producing region and villages there accuse agricultural companies of illegally destroying water reserves with rivers in the region drying up and people being forced to use polluted water avocado farming does require a lot of water the locals say producers of violating their rights. lawwell 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 are wired to stay dry forever we hope one day the water will return. it to us as a go on this river basically droid because the province of to talk of became the country's most important district in avocado production exports those exposed to being made at the expense of and in violation of the human rights. wanting us here on there is a lot of anger pain and suffering from seeing that they accumulate large amounts of water while the rural community is drinking water from water trucks meantime e.u. avocado imports are on the rise seeing a one hundred million euro plus increase in the space of just two years i think on the pioneers pinto from the environmental group that published the report on chile says the water shortages that have now existed for almost ten years. life's going to be going to burlington if you're kristen's you don't have enough water to really get your plans and to raise your any money and then remember doesn't exist anymore

is dr promoted and then two years have begun are going to produce the people the smaller they really are now you don't have nothing of the last year and she explores more than one hundred sixty thousand tons of metal cover. thirty two thousand more that in two thousand and six you believe the expertise is increasing that's because it breaks when i look at it calmly you know for that and the other the benefits are there by the end of our work out of anything to do with you it's in china last there is a group another group who will benefit from this situation now that is a company that supplied its products to deliver water because the government kind of invested in more than one hundred twenty six media over euros in the last six years for what it is the playbacks are nice and really key question who benefits suddenly not. in time the british retail consortium representing the major

supermarkets in the u.k. says all the stores are now aware of the allegations raised its representatives say the problem is going to be toppled as one of their main objectives is keeping the welfare of people and communities safe. ip most always for you here on our team we are back in just a. dropping

. to the chicken hawks. for you to tell you that. probably by. the hawks we. thank so much for joining us today for this program and the polls have closed in venezuela and with almost all of the votes counted the incumbent president nicolas maduro will be reelected with around sixty eight percent the vote however has been criticized with some opposition figures refusing to take the citing electoral fraud

well for weeks the u.s. has been demanding that the election be suspended calling it a shot on friday washington impose sanctions on some of the top brass in the country's ruling socialist party accusing them along other things of drug trafficking. the government in caracas fired back saying washington is simply frustrated as it was unable to eventually change the course of the election. just a show of the spirit in the face of the participation and the developments of the elections in venezuela they don't have the minimum capacity to operate in the stand the message that the venezuelan people are sending or they don't have the minimum capacity for their only capacities to wipe out and venezuela has its own way. the president has also promised to restore the economy and to counter the effects of u.s. sanctions first of a global and latin american studies william robinson says the current poor state of the venezuelan economy isn't the fault of the my daughter government alone.

downplaying the mismanagement of the economy by them adore 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 swirl it 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 in 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 governments 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. former

u.s. presidential candidate hillary clinton has attended a graduation ceremony at yale university and she followed tradition by wearing an unconventional. a russian hand it would be ok had he didn't try not to meantime u.s. president donald trump has raised the stakes by threatening to investigate the f.b.i. and 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 is an allegation he's made before and that was ultimately 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 going to hold anybody otic where did trump 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 such wiretap or to really. but now the american media have done a u. turn of sorts by outing an f.b.i. mole in trump's campaign team they are suspected informant right here stefan helper a seventy three year old professor from cambridge university in the u.k. he's a u.s. citizen with long standing links to american and british intelligence and served in three republican administrations he was reportedly part of the one nine hundred eighty s. high profile spying operation for ronald reagan's campaign that infiltrated president jimmy carter's administration earlier the d.o.j. and the f.b.i. didn't deny media allegations that there was a mole in the trump campaign but they quibbled with the language using the word informant and not spy they refuse to name him for so-called security reasons and

political commentator steve malzberg says such spying is a wiring sign in these times of democracy. if the obama administration played a role in putting a spy you could call them informant all 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 and bush's war to get right off the map can you imagine what this means for our democracy and reportedly steffen help where not only met with george papadopoulos mortgage paid for a trip for him to come to london and then end up but that was 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 the campaign right there for all to see never of course telling him he's investigating anything said to me that's fine it's been a pleasure having you with us on this monday here on our international many more of your worldwide news headlines to come your way in about half an hour. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race based on often spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

in some american cities the police of schooling to wreck each nation people who walk on the streets of the united states who are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect that were people are no more afraid of the police than not . you can see something happening this is like i don't want to call the cops. rather than call the cops in. 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 so yes unfortunately around around here we end up killing our guns are stolen from such precautions true.

but after a time here we're going underground as venezuela these stabilized for centuries by washington unveils results that will decide the fate of the revolution coming up on the show. the head of u.k. defense secretary gavin williams and committees are more oh we investigating reported the de facto nature back to conflict displacement all around the world and even if tereza may adopt a defacto jeremy cool bit in business on the customs union what will brics it mean for ireland westminster's newest m.p. all the begley of shin fein gives her first international interview to this program on the heels of a meeting with britain's recently appointed secretary of state for northern ireland karen bradley plus for the other side of the story we talked to sammy wilson shadow breaks it spoke to both of the do you pay the keep strays a million power in britain all the support coming up today is going underground but

first today the un security council debates libya seven years since britain bombed the country and destroyed all hinge of civic society in what was africa's richest capita country in two thousand and eleven an international coalition included the us france and great britain to military action in libya later that year mortgage after was ousted from power thank you british prime minister theresa may supported the war and then leader on saturday british forces went into action over libya the first british cruise missiles were fired from triumph at seven pm subsequently r.a.f. tornadoes were deployed in several missions because plain to see there for some of water then home secretary would do in power this year for tornado g.r. falls ne storm shadow missiles at a military facility some fifteen miles west of homes but what of libya now that

syria is instead being bombed by british armed israel well jerry corbin doesn't mention it much now though he did during britain's destruction of the country and coalition forces britain france and the nato forces said it was a no fly zone in reality it has been the bombing of infrastructure. targets as well as military targets throughout libya and there's been considerable bombing going on in tripoli itself and what we've done is involved ourselves in a civil war between the sensational government and the gadhafi regime in tripoli and i suspect this is going to run for a very long time and get incredibly nasty like that and there are human rights abuses being reported on both sides including the treatment of african people by the transitional government as well as the treatment for opposition people by the government of market basket yes the treatment of african people since the british bombed libya a man addressing an unseen. big strong voice for fun one for four hundred.

seven hundred. eight hundred numbers of. these men are sold at twelve hundred local pounds four hundred dollars a piece. you are watching an option a human being. yes the voting of britain's prime minister tourism may not only help create the largest refugee crisis is the second world war not only help catalyze ices diagonal the mediterranean but turn back the clock in africa's richest country to one like when britain used to trade in slaves tourism a supported that war which the u.k. parliaments foreign affairs select committee would judge is symptomatic of failures in british leadership intelligence and bureaucracy the consequences of our actions certainly have been catastrophic well it's catastrophic numbers of civilians are forced from their homes you didn't factor u.k. back conflict i'm now joined by the director of the internal displacement monitoring center and xandra biller whose new global report on internal

displacement is out now under welcome to going underground to tell me about your report which clears eighty thousand people were displaced by conflict or disaster each day in twenty seven yes indeed our report shows that there were thirty point six million new internal displacements across the world by cons. violence and disasters and it's true that the conflict figures in particular are quite alarming the highest numbers that we've recorded in over a decade with eleven point eight million new displacements by conflicts most of these displacements have been caused by ongoing violence and high levels of violence actually in attacks against civilians in syria iraq and the democratic republic of congo and now for syria and iraq the high levels of new displacements were actually linked to government offensive in certain cities like mosul in iraq or in syria to retake areas that have been controlled by by previously

so that led to repeated displacement of people who had already been displaced previously so we're looking at people i.d.p.'s internally displaced people who became displaced again throughout two thousand and seventeen and in fact we've got even reports of people families who have had to flee up to twenty five times over the course of the last few years of conflict in syria syria iraq given in libya britain is involved obviously britain bombed syria bombed iraq when bombed libya britain's arming the saudi coalition against yemen when you research as a working on these reports do you see these correlations well i mean it's obvious that a lot of conflicts across the world are complex mix of national and international factors you know that that will determine the levels of severity of the conflicts and the amount of time during which we are reporting these high levels of displacement yemen actually didn't have we weren't able to report good numbers

there's insufficient data right now in yemen that's largely due to the fact that there's not enough access on the ground so our data collection our data providers we're not able to access many of these extremely vulnerable populations so even though yemen's the figures for yemen are relatively low compared to syria and iraq and other countries in sub-saharan africa it doesn't mean that this it's. gratian there on the ground has improved and in fact we're emphasizing this points to make sure that yemen still gets the international attention that it deserves which it's which is very much lacking well the british government is certainly very heavily involved if we go to syria and the report clearly states and i quote directly from it that russia turkey and iran the deal they struck in a stalin or on syria could greatly improve the lives of a large number of people. in the corporate mainstream media we don't hear about the astronomer agreement we hear about other agreements involving major powers why is the astronomer agreement important in alleviating the displacement in the

number one country in europe but i think it's important to consider that all peace building efforts are necessary right now to at least stabilize the situation in syria we're looking we're talking about a number of people now possibly considering returning to their areas of origin whether it were the syrian refugees or syrian i.d.p.'s themselves and in order for those returns to be sustainable for them not to lead to more displacement in the future there needs to be a minimum level of security and stability and we concern that if returns happen without that degree of security. they will they could lead to further further destabilize the british government complains of interference from russia and iran usually in syria if we move on to another country here what is be going on in congress recently the situation has become worse it intensified already in two thousand and sixteen when conflict new conflict erupted between local militias in

the custody province of congo that was a new development and it was very difficult to respond to that human it became a humanitarian crisis because it had been largely. humanitarian agencies had been largely absent from that region up until then now the cons. the political tensions that of that of continued throughout the year have also led to renewed armed attacks throughout the eastern provinces of north kivu and south keep going all the way down to thank you so there is where we're looking at a very dynamic situation very volatile where people are having to flee often just like in syria on a repeated basis they're fleeing their homes they're moving from one place to another simply to escape the imminent danger is caused by these armed groups and i know you have to be a dispassionate ngo but the pentagon the cia have poured weapons since the nine hundred ninety s. into congo to paramilitary groups using them as

a base with their rwanda and uganda and allies to attack neighboring countries and within it jus not feel that some of that funding from washington has contributed to what you just explained in kong but i think that just like in many conflicts across the world there are of course a number of international factors at play but i think right now many observers would agree that the crisis that's unfolding the humanitarian crisis that's unfolding in the east is very much a congolese crisis is the reticence in your report about displacement because of your funding from usaid the australian government the european commission all of which are involved in major wars in the countries you know our main objective is to advocate for better responses for national governments to also take their responsibilities in dealing with this issue at the national level that's of particular relevance when we look at disaster related displacement where we have positive examples of national governments developing because of all of. it and i

know because in the report you advocate countries themselves playing a leading role in solutions with the international community but they in congo as is known very well president kabila is pivoting to china. does that mean the. we have because he is for a country like run by mr kabila and the international community is the brics community not. i think not is a traditional international the recommendations that we're making in the report about national governments taking more responsibility in addressing this issue is very much directed at governments that are in a more stable position right now it's true that a country like the d.l.c. or syria that's still in the throes of conflicts it's hard to put that forward as a as a realistic recommendation at this point in time but there are other countries for example in sub-saharan africa like ethiopia nigeria accenture that have want to

take ownership over this problem and they want to of course they acknowledge that they need extra help from the international community but they want to address the issue of internal displacement as an integral part of their national development plans for example to try and find longer term solutions so there are positive examples out there and we'd like to build on those positive examples as a model for the future because we could do an interview with the about each country that would really libya which is one of the top five in terms of new displacement in twenty seventeen the british government i was proud to bomb libya. believed it was doing this for freedom what is a failure in terms of conflict displacement numbers in europe well libya actually you mention libya alongside syria iraq big because you were looking at the middle east actually libya has a relatively lower number of new displacement globally as compared to other countries so why are people being displaced from libya is because of british policy

. well no it's not directly because of british policy just a number of. violent events in libya i would have to check exactly which ones of the people to be disposed is a very uncomfortable being the head of this institution when that when he comes from the state department and as i say each one of the countries that are named it is nato nations that are deeply entrenched and involved in campaigns or so so their critics would say destabilization campaigns using covert militants our mandate is to report on the scale of internal displacement in countries to try and understand the patterns to try and give us a sense of how these situations are going to evolve over time so that we can give the right kinds of tools to governments to policymakers to international agencies to better respond or role is not to carry out geo political analyses. of conflicts across the world even though of course we recognize the direct link

between that and displacement but that's not what our mandate covers. thank you after the break has tourism a signalled a referendum on a united ireland. is a maze defacto coalition about the imminent consequences of brecht and no amnesty for the british army or the irish republican army all the civil going up about to have going underground. for many. so i know the gang even so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the fun of school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager. and spending twenty million.
