it's not exactly clear why that would be they haven't communicated that this is just the latest episode in the ongoing spat between the trumpet ministration and the intelligence agencies showing that there is a high level of division and insecurity in washington d.c. . 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. i. mean if you can't beat him try no. way the winning. combination. for twenty eight. russian wiki leaks i inherit nothing from the democratic party. i mean it

was bankrupt it was on the verge of insolvency there is still a very large proportion of the population that is uneasy with positions of leadership. this just shows how frail hillary is i think she gave a speech to the democratic women leadership convention i think a couple of days ago in washington and more or less admitted she just can't let it go and i think i think it's worrying because the u.s. needs a strong opposition right now and hillary clinton really isn't it over and over again. and then putting out. just now i mean over and over again she shows that she's not fit she has a very polarizing effect on american politics the democratic party sold in america and without having somebody some giant figurehead i don't think we'll see any great

change right now and i think it's likely that trump will will forge ahead in the next election. italy's a new populist euro skeptic alliance has met the country's president proposing political novice just set me. up prime minister before the meeting leaders of the two parties in the coalition stressed of that in their new government italy must come first. they were. only there you tell you aren't even going to pretty much. all the time president is expected to decide on tuesday whether he accept. prime minister to formally bitter rivals the anti-establishment five star movement and right wing northern league came together in a populist alliance unprecedented for europe. it's been

two and a half months around about since those elections took place in italy and it's taken all this time for the two parties that's leg and the five star movement from the left and the right of the spectrum to come together to form what they would like to do which is to create a coalition government with the leaders of those parties have been meeting with the italian president today putting forward this name of the person that they would like to be the next talent prime minister well his name is just picante he was put forward as a candidate by five star movement and the league who both said that they wanted him to be the next italian prime minister what do we know about him well not very much we know that he's a professor of law and he's also the author of the five star movement justice program during the election but he is the man that will now lead italy possibly over the next few years where the two parties a five star movement and leg came together despite many differences during the

italian at elections to form what they want to see as being a coalition government a government for change is how they've described it in their manifesto some almost sixty pages long which they both approved on friday well what do we know what's in that manifesto well first of all many things that perhaps other countries in the european union may not like too much including the idea that they would like to scrap the sanctions against russia they also want a flat tax in italy they want to curb migration and perhaps most controversially they want to renegotiate some of the new policies the e.u. commitments they've already been warned by a german minister and the french finance minister that they need to keep those e.u. commitments but these are two parties who have never shied away of saying exactly what they think to the e.u. . the choice. people have made is

a step towards freedom for the whole of europe away from constraints and insecurity we want to rebuild europe based on people not bureaucracy we want to be listened to otherwise all these sectors and industries that are suffering from injustice because of european treaties and directives will have to be reimbursed well some say the reason that they won that election they've been able to join to form this coalition ideology is because they were both euro skeptic parties and that seems to have gone down well with the italian electorate and they still popular recent polls showing that they are getting still sixty percent support from the italian population you must do something about immigration because it's a mass i love the collison plan of course who want lower taxes especially for businesses so it's illegal to harden immigration we need to solve this problem but the more. i'm worried about how five star and illegal going to make good on these

promises it will be difficult because the powers that are strong well now the new italian prime minister has approved these two parties well now set to form that government but the manifesto that they've prepared this change of this government for change still needs to be approved by a tally a new make is when the i's are dotted and the t.'s are crossed and the dust all settles on that it will mean that italy will be the only country in western europe where the euro skeptic governing coalition at its helm. the syrian army has reportedly driven islamic state out of its final enclave near damascus development means that all areas around the syrian capital are now back under government control so television footage from the country shows the army celebrating its a victory and firing rounds into the air after retaking the. district and.

palestinian refugee camp the area has seen intensive fighting between the terrorist insurgents and government forces in recent weeks local journalist muhammad ali brings us this report from the newly liberated suburb of damascus. the syrian army has taken control of has an area and yet moved refugee camp and saw there in damascus following through should spike seen what i sold serous also known as down it. was you know does it. securing president assad and that you had moved refugee camp means that this is now a terrorist free city for the first time with this countryside since seven years securing them would save the capital damascus from deadly mortar attacks that were previously launched from jos here we are on residential governments how porous the

mosque is syrian army to continue its future operations across the country the syrian army command issued a statement saying that the syrian army is currently much more stronger and much more determined to continue its military operations until every end of syrian soil after terrorist groups currently damascus and it's going to decide is a terrorist the area the army is to continue fighting and it is expected that the army will be heading towards either the north and or the south and got off. the public inquiry into london's grunfeld tower fire began with seventy two seconds of silence earlier in memory of the victims of last june's tragedy long awaited hearing will give their relatives and friends time to pay tribute to those who died but not everyone managed to make it to the inquiry as artie's public explains. well

the focus of the inquiry is on what caused what spread the fire that took place almost a year ago and took the lives of seventy two people and one of the most moving accounts that we heard from the public testimonies that were taking place to today was that of a man who lived on the twenty first floor of red bell tower and at the time of the blaze his wife was seven months pregnant take a listen to his heart wrenching account of what happened. hoping it's all. we should pray. for any kind of miracle. that you just. because. she's made of the hottest material you know.

it was true. some of the relatives of the victims of this haven't been given visas to come here in time for the beginning of what's taking place one moroccan man named lucy who lost his sister in the fire he applied for a visa to come to the inquiry in december but he said he was crushed off to having to wait for months for it to be processed and now the home office have said that the visa had been issued on wednesday and that all visa applications are looked in on a case by case basis so he is finally getting his visa but by the time that you arrives it will be at least three days in to the inquiry and the opposition labor party says that's not good enough and that the government is continuing to fail the

victims of the grand tragedy the gradual families have to look beyond even to get a partial panel although tourism a said she would leave no stone unturned in this inquiry she also promised victims would not suffer irrespective of their immigration status but is now fully in the family and. so the scandal surrounding the fire hasn't died down a hole and the burns house shell of the building is still standing in the middle of the bar of kensington and chelsea it's become a bit of a symbol of government bailey isn't a housing inequality and social injustice and there are still big questions surrounding whether ultimately someone needs to go to prison but the inquiry aims to oncet those questions it's going to take a while. public inquiries out by that very slow moving beast said this one is no exception. villagers in chile are locked in

a fight for clean water claiming farms are supplying u.k. markets are depleting local supplies here on the right is what the main river of. village in chile now looks like previously a favorite with swimmers that is now fully dried up through the years of use to irrigate plantations environmental groups. had raised concerns long before the issue hit western headlines. pretty good here. so nobody those cattle and that they can sign on with us i don't know that. and. believe that these are well petaca provinces the country's top producer of the fruit and villagers there accuse agricultural companies of illegally destroying water reserves with rivers in the region drying up and people now forced to rely on

trucks carrying contaminated water for their supplies that's because of a cut of farming acquires massive water use local say producers are violating their rights. when we collect water from the bath shower this washer and here you can see the foam we use the same water to water trees and to give a little life to the field because we don't want to stay dry forever we hope one day the water will return. this river basically droid because the province of to talk of became the country's most important district in the production exports of those exposed to being made at the expense of violation of the human rights watch. there is a lot of anger pain and suffering for. seen that the accumulated fletch in months of one a while the rural community is drinking one of from water trucks. or mean time e.u. of a cargo imports are rising fast up over one hundred million euros in sales in just

two years alexander punished intel from environmental groups moderate team of says that there have been water shortages for years now life's going to be going to burlington if you're prisons you don't have enough water to really get your lands and to raise your any money and then remove doesn't exist anymore is dr promoted and then two years has become a garbage dump people swallowed the river now you don't have nothing of the last year and she explores more than a hundred. thousand tonnes not ok i'm. thirty two thousand more than two thousand and six believe the expertise to this increase and that's because it breaks when i look at it calmly you know for that reason and the other the benefits of it my you know if i look out anything to do with you it's in time the last. group another group 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 grand the big media over euros in the last six years for why the supply banks are this are really key question who benefits suddenly not going to the car. the british retail consortium representing supermarkets who import much of the fruit says all stores are now aware of the allegations representatives promise the problem will be addressed and insist the welfare and safety of people and communities is key to that. washington is ramping up the pressure on crisis stricken venezuela and has slapped fresh sanctions on the caracas government the punitive measures come in response to socialist president nicolas maduro disputed reelection on sunday and the new restrictions banned u.s. companies and citizens from purchasing debts owed to the venezuelan government it will now also become more difficult for caracas to sell off state owned assets in

order to raise money maduro won sixty eight percent of the vote on sunday bunch two of the most popular opposition leaders were not allowed to take part and there were claims of voting irregularities the us vice president called the election a sham the latest sanctions bolster others that america introduced on friday against top members of venezuela's ruling socialist party the crackers government for its part says washington tried to sabotage the vote and is waging a campaign of imperialist aggression. when i least we heard from told us america's actions against iran as well actually undermine washington's own agenda. you have to wonder what the ultimate goal is because you know you had an election process that actually by all accounts was free of any major irregularities that was competitive in which you had a genuine opposition leader who was participating and the choice of both the u.s.

and of course some of the major opposition parties in that as well was to call for a boycott and it does seem that that was widely followed i mean the story here is that these elections really were won by a very wide margin by mature oh but there was a very low turnout and in fact polling from just a few weeks ago indicated that had there been a high turnout that is if. the opposition parties and also the u.s. had you know basically supported these elections and you know mobilize voters. you might well have seen nicolas maduro lose these elections in fact that was a very probable scenario with high turnout. palestinian activists hurled eggs at a u.s. diplomatic vehicle in the west bank on monday to protest washington's relocation of

its embassy in israel to jerusalem oh no no no. no. no no the demonstrators also how the. american government is not welcome in the occupied palestinian territories u.s. state department said its diplomats were. to promote cultural exchange and condemned what it called the violence and intimidation in the region have flared dramatically since the israeli military killed scores of protesters in gaza on the same day the new u.s. embassy opened. the gates of hell pretty dramatic but that's how locals describe this huge molten cavern in turkmenistan central asia filled with flaming natural gas it has now been burning day and night for more than forty years and our video agency ruptly.

that does it for me headlines in about thirty minutes stay with us.

for the transatlantic alliance system is whether the number of storms during its seventy year history we are told this is because of sustained american leadership but can the same online system survive the storm named truck. greetings and salutations from nine hundred seventy six to one nine hundred eighty six in california there were forty four rapes and twelve murders connected to a perpetrator dubbed the golden state killer four decades after the violence began a seventy two year old retired police officer was arrested and is being held on

multiple charges of first degree murder based on d.n.a. evidence now try to imagine if that d.n.a. evidence had been lost destroyed or simply left on a shelf for decades to rot and ultimately be forgotten well that is what is happening in california a state wanted for its work clearing a backlog of over six thousand rape kits just ten years ago now has an estimated thirteen thousand untested rape kits and it's backlog again which is why democratic state assemblyman david chow recently introduced a bill that would require all law enforcement agencies medical facilities crime laboratories and any other facilities that receive maintain store or preserve sexual assault evidence kits to conduct an audit of all sexual assault evidence kits in their possession and report certain data to the department of justice by no later than july first twenty nineteen it's also why senator connie leyva of chino hills california wants to change the existing laws wording from should the process

all evidence kits to show how and why california twiddles it stems for another decade arguing semantics in late two thousand and seventeen detroit committed to testing their backlog of over ten thousand rape kits and do you know what happened they identified eight hundred and thirty potential serial rapist for crimes in forty states. eight hundred and thirty combined with the capture of the golden state killer maybe it's time we speak up for these forgotten victims find some solutions and start watching the hawks. the. real that is what. a large. part of. what it looks like you're like i got. this.

week six am. welcome everybody to watch him a hard time top of the wall is and joining me today is legal expert and media expert line no line on media how are you today excellent so why not since one thousand nine hundred ninety three the rate of sexual assault and rape in the united states has fallen by sixty three percent a number that should you know make us happy there should be something to say for that but yet according to the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the united states raid only six out of every one thousand perpetrators of sexual assault will end up in prison and the average rate clearance rates for police departments bear that out when you look at it statistically where murders tend to be in the fifty's fifty six percent to sixty percent range of clearance rapes are at twenty six to thirty at best and most cities so why not how do a law enforcement agencies justify ignoring this problem yet again.

yet they don't they don't imagine if they did the same thing for drug abuse or drug trafficking in this and you know we've got all those drugs are and as you know you have to test the substance to make sure it is what you say it is imagine if there was a bag of cocaine. bath people would be screaming but you know what fascinating about this is that you have now by virtue of the the genius of d.n.a. and s.t.r. sequencing and all of these fascinating tools you have a very interesting case here a lot of the time to think about this when every you have a sample from a person who claims to have been the victim of sexual battery and they have a sample of d.n.a. there is an extremely powerful likelihood that that substance that matter come from

a possible serial rapist or somebody who's done it again those who rape once more than likely have done it before so it is another reason to focus because it is still a a rare in the scheme of things event you know that in twenty sixteen in cuyahoga county they looked at. two hundred forty three cases fifty one percent and this jibes with the two were say fifty one percent were linked to the serial rapist they state they saved at the time forty eight million dollars and terms of not that money should be concerned but for people who have to put a price tag on things in terms of incarceration getting people off the street there's no reason not to do this it makes complete and total sense and how this now remember that's the that's one part you still have the other part proving it because consent it's not like murder you can presume no one

consented to their own murder but was sexual battery you do have this little glitch and that's that yes you may have found samples you may have found evidence of this but you also have the consent part of it then you also have some time situations tab of the where you have other people who other by virtue of this s.t.r. sequencing you find other d.n.a. how do you ferret that out and let's assume there is an innocent individual who may have deposited a sample innocently or by consent does that go into a database as well does that of the innocent go there as well and it's d.n.a. it's not just a fingerprint it's who you are and that's your genome family history and the civil liberties questions just explode right and i would be remiss if i didn't bring that

up i mean i am the last person and i am not making any excuses i think if the idea that there are any rape kits still after all of this i mean you had us all s.b.u. episode about it it became a much thing it was a major case and now it's like well it's twice as bad as it was before but you know money this is one of the strange things where there's this. shoe of privacy and wall on the one hand it seems to make sense we should absolutely be more centralized databases for people who are already been convicted of sex crimes and they can run these things against people who are in those d.n.a. databases for criminal activity but what happens again when someone who gets cleared which happens a lot you'll get a d.n.a. profile in order to clear somebody who did have consensual sex or somebody who was there but they're checking does that do you do we have a right as americans to then say i was found innocent i was cleared of any man i want my d.n.a. expunged from that database is that something that may have to come on oh the road

absolutely absolutely let me give you an analogy when i i used to prosecute and used to defend used to have my private practice of people who were charged with a variety of. child abuse child abuse but abuse abandonment neglect people who were clear parents who might have been accused of beating their children who didn't or you have a vindictive child who calls a child protective services rats out their parents turns out it was bogus now we have to go and ask that their record be expunged you don't want to be on the hit parade for the rest of your life what they told me was only oh no this isn't this isn't a rap sheet this isn't like some bad fight goes score you know this is just our it ministry the record that this case yeah but it's still there now let me go back to one other thing which i know this is going to be very taxing for some people to

have the because the last thing in the world anybody's concerned with is the genome privacy of a suspected or convicted rapist so a last thing we're digging up but d.n.a. is you it's not a fingerprint is something hair samples it's you the technology gets faster. it's fascinating but if you have a rapist was out of a sect to me now there are other ways to look at the theory yourselves too but this is not as simple as they think you have multiple samples and that sort of thing but when you have this and we also have hippo laws we have remember lionel's law the law always lags behind technology you say what do we do this i have now i have tabitha wallace's d.n.a. this is your genome this is you i know about your family medical propensities perhaps maybe one day sexuality intelligence who knows political affiliation the more we learn about this what do i do with you and it almost takes of

a fascinating status it's not just a piece of forensic evidence now do we owe any duty of privacy or removing it expunged from this database how do you say well you for example hipaa laws and insurance are very very strict but do we say but not if you're accused what if i was exonerated well we'll get to you later nobody's thought about this and frankly nobody listen they haven't thought about it so much they're not even at analyzing that the you know that the test cases sharks is worried about genomes and the like well moving from cold cases to cold war hillary clinton spoke this weekend at yale and i'd love to get your thoughts part of the event is this idea of donning these over the top house and and she got up out of passion one for the kids let's take a look a russian half of the law.
