the thought that they too could have lost their lives and now they're after a clarification from the government as to what's going to happen next to resolve those problems and action to be taken in a dear tutor r.t. . the u.k.'s housing minister has said that the government is listening to concerns and will discuss the policy review concerning a ban on flammable materials in construction when in the meantime over two thirds of former grenfell residents side yet to be really honed while some eighty two households are still residing in emergency accommodation we've spoken to a campaign about the tragedy. corresponding option on to see action it's difficult to believe the government what asked for consultation if would know that the outcome boss to all my tools still around butin studio we should discuss it in part of it we should take action to d. because we need to have an adult greenfield they should be versity they should be

presentation if there is no representation in democracy is not democracy is not just issue rudd to cause more year to argue that we need a diversity in that it is. to see that we view what was obvious how long will it justice. a group of filmmakers have been looking into the tragedy and its aftermath and the documentary called failed by the state now you can watch it on in full on the red face you tube channel and on facebook but here's a quick preview for you. it was my home for twenty five years the firewood for each of the hold in a world. that was the most heartbreaking thing i've ever seen in my life it was so it was beyond traumatic you know we will felt by the state before and after the fire. to change everything you talk politics now and how we can take power.

if we continue to stand and make the noise and people out we can change this community. we need to realize that collectively we have real power we real real power to shape our destinies and to be our designs of office so we need to seize these opportunities and move. don trump has ordered an investigation into his own investigators and independent inspector general will now look into whether the f.b.i. is twenty sixteen probe into alleged russia collusion was legal and is caleb maupin explains it's starting to become difficult to find someone that hasn't been caught up in the wave of suspicion. the u.s. department of justice is currently expanding its investigation into whether or not its investigation of donald trump is legal are you confuse don't worry so are lots

of americans but this is just a slice of the pie political leaders on both sides of the aisle are being investigated for criminal offenses with their opponents calling for them to be locked up make america great again. that's our president and the media is fantasizing about seeing him in handcuffs or if he fires any secret service agent who would allow the federal marshals and one of the ultram simply decides i don't have to follow the law i refuse to be held under the law no marshal can get into this white house and any secret service agent that defies me is fired well at some point he's going to have to come out of the white house trump's old nemesis isn't in the clear either i think that there is a lot to investigate.

she may not be in the headlines very much after her electoral defeat however we did find out last week that she's still under investigation much to the delight of donald trump who once promised to put her behind bars it's just awfully good that someone with the temperament of donald trump is not in charge of the law in our country because you'd be in jail secretary clinton. and then there's obama's topps by john brennan the former cia director he was concerned about because of known russian effort. trying called him a disk. race to the american intelligence community and one former u.s. attorney thinks he ought to be assembling a legal team n.b.c. news is consultant the former director of the central intelligence agency the most

partisan pick leader of the cia in history needs a very very good lawyer criminal lawyer yes criminal oh yes and then there's devon newness now he's been digging up dirt on the intelligence community but now he's got some of his own we are going to get the documents. members of congress want him to be looked into basically what he has done is he has got old and put a cloud over his own investigation and he has become the subject basically he should be investigated it's a real problem investigations are flying like bullets in a western shootout high profile politicians are being accused of breaking u.s. laws and could face legal proceedings this is leads fighting one another and this kind of legal war and that has nothing to do really with the american people and

it's a great distraction actually from the issues that are important to the american people but it's consuming the white house now consuming the f.b.i. it's consumed the democratic party there's enormous tension between both sides if things are pretty ugly right now pretty ugly between the sides and i think it's going to get worse i really do is this just politics look at some of these charges actually stick. r.t. new york. the syrian army says it has driven islamic state out of its final enclave near damascus and development means that all areas around the syrian capital are now back under government control local journalist mohammed ali brings us this report from the new liberated suburb of damascus. the syrian army has taken . full control of has it a less wide area and yet a move refugee camp in southern damascus following through should spicing with eisold serous also known as doris.

army will be heading towards either the north and or the south and got off. still to come on r.t. international a bribery scandal that may have allowed thousands of illegal migrants to remain in germany and is putting pressure on officials and i've got the details for you after the break. but i was selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that go. to new socks for the tell you that will be gossip and tabloid myself a little bit. while i'm off the bat doesn't help you on the fool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all the one.

her. thanks. thanks. thanks thanks. thanks thank you welcome back a top danish minister has sparked outrage after she called the effects of ramadan a risk to everyone in the story book said that false thing leaves muslims observing the holy month lacking energy and it becomes dangerous for the rest of society i

want to call on muslims to take leave from work during the month of ramadan to would negative consequences for the rest of danish society i wonder if a religious order commanded observance of fourteen hundred year old pillar of islam is compatible with a society and labor market that we haven't demarc into eighteen this can be dangerous for all of us me outspoken politician clarified that bus drivers hospital workers or people operating heavy machinery are a danger to themselves and others if they have an eternal day the minister is already known for making controversial statements aimed at denmark's muslim community in two thousand and seventeen the politician posted a photo of herself holding a cake to celebrate the current of the country's fiftieth measure on tougher immigration laws and with the refugee crisis continuing to divide denmark guest earlier debated why people also split on the issue. there are millions of people here in the united kingdom who are benefiting from muslim doctors muslim nurses

most important drivers in people working in takeaways or restaurants and in every walk of life who are contributing to society as well as they are practicing their faith can we sure it sees other companies insurance is aware of those people who are actually fasting then becoming a risk not eating or drinking for ten hours nor do you know these exceptions and if the person is not well of the issues and they can like to further period of time but surely the insurance company should know if your job in a boss and your fasting then they should know it's common sense increases in traffic accidents do occur it is a fact i'm sure those drivers who drive people says around having those conversations you know if stephen god forbid was to be admitted to a hospital and he was to be seen was likely by a muslim who was fasting would be what he paused and said well i don't really want

to be seen by this guy because he's a muslim and he's fast in the issue out here is that this is an attack against islam and muslims ability to practice our faith no it's not it's an issue of health and safety mohammed our outfit and safety your religion every time muslims are partaking in the health and safety conversations there is no whether it is to suggest there is no evidence to suggest that muslims are deliberately ignoring health and safety all muslims are less able to carry out their jobs no one in the bush industry has ever talked down into a risk of fatigue index when doing the rotors that should be in because that drastically affects them levels of fatigue index. germany's refugee agency known as bank is looking into what is reportedly a mouth bribery scandal possibly involving over a dozen michael. office centers in the country the country's interior minister has

said the extent of the problem could have consequences for him too as an internal investigation gets underway into claims that immigration officers were giving people asylum illegally this comes after a reported one thousand two hundred asylum applications were approved without grounds between two thousand and thirteen and two thousand and sixteen in the city of bremen one former official and five other employees are being investigated the federal migration agency also plans to review about eighteen thousand previously approved applications and the agency's head said it could see some migrants have their status as well vote. we're continuing to review our budget decisions made by the edge and see blanche in bremen these are about eighteen thousand cases since two thousand and if they have locations don't meet the necessary criteria who will consider whether these decisions to grant asylum should be cancelled will be also considering sanctions against certain employees of the federal office for migration

and refugees. and the scandal has sparked outrage even among some left wing politicians in berlin it's questionable whether the events in bremen were really the exception trusting the federal office for migration refugees or shaken we want the office for migration and refugees to be able to work in accordance with the law starting now and not just a few years from now. the allegations against the migration agency come as confidence in the body is at a low with eighty percent of germans saying their trust has run out geopolitical consultant rayna roles gave us some additional insights and thoughts on the scandal . asylum seekers have said that they have paid one thousand euros to their lawyer and then they did not even have to show up in the demon and it's obvious that claimant has taken asylum decisions far too hastily without making also security background checks this might only be the tip of the iceberg and

many more similar cases may have occurred in other. dependencies the bomb itself is not the real problem what is the real scandal is that the detection of the problems has occurred already in twenty fourteen and nothing has been done by by the former minister of interior. we've reached out to germany's migration body to clarify exactly how many of its branches are under scrutiny we'll get back to you as soon as we had a reply. thanks for choosing on the international basis with all the latest my colleague you know neil will be here at the top of them.

we are now experiencing the end of a thirty year bull market in bonds which means are entering a period of rising interest rates and so the urgency to get deals done before the any cost is applied toward financing whatsoever needs to happen quickly so i predict in the next twenty four months you're going to see the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever in history by a factor of ten as just thirty or forty percent of everything that's traded out there gets gobbled up and taken from. 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 he's 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 i think 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 conny leyva of chino hills california wants to change the existing laws wording from should to process all evidence kits to show and well 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 deal with. the part of.

what it looks like you're like i got. this. week so i. welcome everybody to watch him a hard time top of the wall is and joining me today is legal expert and media expert lionel of 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 and they said you know we've got all these drugs or 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 back to cocaine and people would be screaming but you know what's 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 ever 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 in 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 that 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 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 big money 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 and involvement 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 not child abuse but abuse abandonment neglect people who were clear parents who might have been accuse 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 in 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 thinking of but d.n.a. is you it's not a fingerprint it's not a hair sample it's you the technology gets fascinating it's fascinating what if you have a rapist was out of a second. now there are other ways to look at that with you 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

a tab of all of his 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 expunging it 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 or 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 charges or hear about genomes and the like well moving from cold cases to cold war hillary clinton spoke this weekend

at yale and i would love to get your thoughts part of the event is this idea of donning these over the top highlights and and she got up brought a special one for the kids let's take a look a russian hand the i mean if you can't be. oh yeah i was you know is she also going to flop on a james komi mask with that hat because. i don't know what is do because it's hard because i keep trying to defend this idea that you know she's of course allowed to be of course these things but at some point what does that teach a roomful of college graduates from an ivy league school standing there holding up this there are one hundred twenty nine russians and there are twenty nine million russians across the world varying amounts of like whether it was your ancestors or you live there and many ethnic groups what does that say to the world when we're up

there making cracks about a half. especially by the way that hat symbolizes one of the reasons why we vanquish one of the worst serial of you know monsters in the history of humankind you know and we just celebrated that with russia's contribution where i forget that you know tolstoy said history would be a wonderful thing of only it were true well this woman's perspective would be wonderful if only it were true you know top of the i've asked a lot of my friends and we just reacted and you know we say almost without exception this is sad we're beyond the anger part let it go it's spiteful and then we're going to find out the she's going to go to harvard to receive the i guess the second place participation trophy because because she was a part of this the radcliffe award for transitioning. for transition yes she transition a trump presidency so what we're seeing right now is my question to you and to the

world to youth think she is just cosmically organically intellectually bereft of any ability to make the connection of how silly this looks yeah that would be better just to move on absolutely and i wish we had more time but apparently don't even have time to talk about her work. thank you very much live now. back as we go to break cock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter fearful shows that are he dot com coming up dumbfound sat down with one of low author of hitchhiking in the axis of evil to discuss the epidemic of distrust during his round the world hitchhiking expedition on r.t. such as the three best of the continue to russian and why big island tuned to watching.
