with north korea the north koreans are going to say how can you make a deal with the u.s. if they break agreements. almost a year on the gravel fire in london in which seventy two people died a public inquiry is officially being launched it opened with emotional testimony from victims' families on the survivors one spoke of how his son was stillborn just hours after the tragedy these people where you may find somebody following video upsetting to watch so i held my son. hoping it was all a petri dish. she's made to harvest the cereal. that was stripped kosovo be.

more survivors will give very accounts over the next week or so the probe of then look into wider issues like the government's response time and preventative actions in deraa chewed has been to meet locals who say they're frustrated at how little has changed. it's almost been a year since the devastating blaze and what's left of the grenfell tower could be seen here behind the scaffolding it's a harrowing reminder of a tragedy that has left many questions unanswered.

there are over a hundred tower blocks in london alone similar to a grandchild and people living here want their government to make sure that it is all still like that does not happen again it's like a year now and we're still living in the same situation when we found out altered it was just it was when. it just costs us praise and just thinking this cheap why would you risk the lives of so many people and see this film comes on the street. so we know that it's obviously not safe before it could happen again at the moment for her to come on the program the homes were so what can the residents of tower blocks like these do in an emergency they advised used was to stay put but now according to the london fire brigade is being changed to similar evacuation because

of the farmable clopping however the government is yet to ban it to resume promise to spend four hundred million pounds to replace unsafe cladding on high rise public housing blocks just sixteen other tower blocks have had their having material replaced with non combustible materials so all the authorities doing enough awful lot of government haven't done enough. to the needs of those afflicted by going through in terms of the for their experience when family i don't think they're doing enough for them not nearly enough no i think the issue with the clothing they should have resolved upon our. roads i could see i mean the gardens that one sort of coming over and sleeping the things. what struck me as i've spoken to a number of residents who live here at the child courts estate in camden is the fear in their eyes at the thought that they too could have lost their lives and now they're after clarification from the government as to what's going to happen next

to resolve those problems and action to be taken now dear tutor r.t. . while the u.k.'s housing minister is said that the government is listening to concerns and will discuss a policy review concerning a ban on flammable materials in construction. over two thirds of former gram for residents yet to be re housed to while some eighty two households are still living in emergency accommodation one campaigner whose home overlooks the charred remains of graham says he got little hope that the government's words are going to turn into anything more of. we haven't seen corresponding option on to see action it's difficult to believe the government why ask for consultation if we know that the outcome boss to all my tools still wrapped around buildings today we shouldn't discuss it in part of it we should take action to d. because we need to have another growth they should be versity they should be

presentation if there is no representation in democracy is not democracy is not just issue right to cause more years to argue that we needed adversity in that it is to kind of want to see that we view what was obvious how long will lead to justice a group of filmmakers be looking into the tragedy and its aftermath creating a documentary called fell by the state if you were to catch the kind of the redfish you tube channel and facebook is a very quick look at what. i was born to go full tower it was my whole for twenty five years the fire in the four easy to hold in our world. now that was the most heartbreaking thing i've ever seen in my life and it was so it was beyond traumatic you know we will felt by the state before and after the fire good food changed everything we talk politics now and how we can take power. if we continue to stand and make the noise i'm not sure people out we can change

this community. we need to realize that collectively we have real power with real real power to shape our destinies and to be artisans of awfully so we need to seize these opportunities in an organized much. thanks a bunch of women come back a lot more a couple of minutes donald trump sort of an investigation into his own investigators to find out more stay with us here in just a couple of minutes from about. cho's seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me.

yet to say proud to stay active. and engaged in equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when you choose to look for common ground . good politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be. right. this is what the korean people. interested in the water. question.

so as i said just for the break seems donald trump sold an investigation into his own investigators at independent inspector general is now set to look into whether the f.b.i. is twenty sixteen probe into alleged russian collusion was legal or not this kind of open explains next it's starting to become difficult to find someone that hasn't been caught up in the wave of suspicion of renault. 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 the locked up make america great again. that's our president and the media is fantasizing about seeing him in handcuffs but if he fires any secret service agent who would allow the federal marshals and what

i've done from 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 june secretary clinton. and then there's obama's topps by john brennan the former cia director he was

concerned about because of known russian efforts. trump 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's consultant the former director of the central intelligence agency the most partisan 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 is

scuttled 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 shoot out 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 what 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. star refugee agency has been accused of illegally granting asylum to

hundreds of migrants in some cases the taking cash is the allegation the agency called be. told see that it's expanding its investigation into the claims scandal initially broke out in april with media reports of mass bribery at a bureau in bremen. the federal migration agency now says it plans to review a further eight thousand five hundred approvals in nearly a dozen branches that's on top of some eighteen thousand cases in bremen it's thought around twelve hundred asylum claims were approved illegally between twenty thirteen and sixty one former official and five other employees are already being investigated very vital in we're continuing to review our budget decisions made by the edge unsealed lines in bremen these are about eighteen thousand cases since two thousand and if the application is don't meet the necessary creative area and all consider whether these decisions to grant asylum should be cancelled or all the also considering sanctions against certain employees of the federal office for

migration and refugees. while the allegations against the migration agency combers confidence in the body is staggeringly low seems eighty percent of germans say their trust has run out with the scandal sparked outrage even among some left wing politicians in berlin two it is questionable whether the events in bremen were really the exception trust in the federal office for migration and refugees is shaken we won 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 when some responses germany's migration agency has pointed out that just because there's an ongoing investigation it doesn't necessarily mean that violations are taking place we spoke to a political consultant wainer office he says the problems long been known but no action had been taken into law recently. 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 lehman and it's obvious that payment 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 bombs by the former minister of interior. keep an eye for the evening on the on going or was until recently when donald trump south korea counterpart me to see what comes out of that you can follow it online as well r.t. don't call me and follow all our stories and so much more and of you will say as well here in moscow this said tuesday evening it's eight twenty four to eight

news breaking today we'll get up to speed with margot sussed from american university and there's another media merger battle going on regarding c.b.s. steve law's bird helps us understand the lay of the land and what has become a personal feud for control of the media giant plus lou we look at wells fargo and consider how things got so bad for the bank and there's more trade war news on china alex my hyla which brings us up to speed first let's get to some stories topping today's business in financial headlines. the chief executive of campbell soup company denise morrison is seeking other opportunities morrison who had been c.e.o. since two thousand and one resigned abruptly last week with the news breaking on friday campbell's released a statement shortly thereafter citing unacceptable earnings results ms morrison had notably championed an attempt to steer the company's image and product lineup away

from their iconic canned soup line up towards fresher and healthier options it doesn't appear to have worked so far based upon the numbers at least and the numbers as we like to say here matter the company now includes a fresh sector that manages the bolthouse farms brand of juices and other similar products plus campbell's fresh seems to have lingered on the shelf longer than the competition with the unit posting an operating loss of one thousand million dollars in the first quarter of the year. and general electric is emerging its troubled rail operation g.e. transportation with locomotive manufacturer web tek in an eleven billion dollar deal g. he will receive two point nine million dollars and much did capital from the deal as well as a fifty point one percent stake in the merged company though only nine point nine percent of that will be held by g.e. with the remainder going directly to g.e. shareholders web tech formerly known as westinghouse airbrake technology corp will

keep its c.e.o. the merger is the first major move by a new c.e.o. c.e.o. of g.e. john flannery who has signaled that he wants the spin off significant portions of g.e.'s sprawling corporate structure investors expect mr flannery to share plans for g.e.'s keep our health care and aviation units by the end of next month while plans for fixing g.e.'s long term financial services are expected to take a little longer. and there continues to be breaking media merger mania news two stories today are making headlines both doors of all comcast the largest and the company in the world by revenue the largest cable company by revenue and many know comcast by the x. finity brand just behind a t. and t. comcast is the second largest pay t.v.

company and the largest u.s. cable t.v. and home home user of internet the news today is that you can regulators say that they will not raise and i trust your public interest concerns over the comcast bid to buy british broadcaster sky for thirty one billion dollars here to discuss is margo software the professorial lecturer at american university thank you again for being with us what's going on well this news today really opens the door for what could be a really major deal for comcast to buy part of sky and really take its business out of the united states and into the u.k. as well as germany and austria so i think media watchers around the world are seeing this this u.k. decision that they will not fight any any comcast purchase of this part of sky and they're seeing this as a real. you know a real shake up of the media conglomerates when they say that it didn't raise

public interest concerns is that the same as antitrust concerns over here that's right it's similar and i think that what you have to remember is that rupert murdoch's fox and fox company twenty first century fox own still a majority stake of sky so we have to remember this and it has been trying to get back the remaining are thirty nine percent of of a season and it's been trying to present a sky excuse me and they've been trying to get back on. one hundred percent ownership of this for the last few years and remember the fox went through a pretty big phone hacking scandal back in two thousand and fifteen which kind of put the brakes on a lot of its of its business decisions so what has happened is they have been actively pursuing this and regulators have said that they don't want the murdoch's to have in the u.k. they don't want the murdoch's to have that much control over the media that it has in the u.k. so they've said continuously said it looked like they would not greenlight that

kind of a sale of the remaining shares of sky back to back to fox so now what you have is comcast essentially getting the green light that rupert murdoch has been waiting for for several years really interesting case but you don't comcast is a big but it's not big news twenty first century fox so it just appears that the concerns about public interest or antitrust just weren't at least for the british regulators and of course in that because they have different the comcast doesn't have the same stake in europe that it has here in the united states i think that for the u.k. it's just not a question of a monopolistic practices they're not going to have that much control they don't have any control over print to the same way that rupert murdoch's fox company has so i think that there's just not as much of a concern for comcast to go in and take take over that part of sky interests and the other story breaking news today is that comcast wants to once again horn in on

an offer that disney is making to buy twenty first century fox for fifty two billion bucks we've reported on that before but it seems comcast bowed out due to some regulatory concerns i don't really understand and now they're back what do you make of it well i think that what your viewers have to keep in mind is that june twelfth is a key date in all of these discussions we should that's right that's when the department of justice is going to say whether or not the time warner merger is going to be able to move through and most people think that at the most. industry insiders think that the department of justice will allow that merger to go through and that comcast is now waiting with what what industry insiders have said is a sixty billion dollar all cash offer that they're prepared to make for the fox properties that are going to go on the chopping block that disney has wanted since december so it's going to be fascinating to see what's going happen with with this deal and whether or not there's value in the all cash offer are whether or not

shareholders want to see some growth in they want the stocks and whether or not those are going to increase over the next you know five to ten years really just so much interesting moving forward but i think that eighteenth tee time warner deal is going to be heat to see how that moves forward and whether or not comcast thinks it will be able to get through regulatory hurdle just real quick we only got about fifteen seconds left but sometimes these seem like these are very personal decisions not just business decisions and we're talking about murdoch's the roads don't succeed and i just wonder sometimes you get what's called the winners cursed that is you may win the merger deal but you may have overpaid is that something that could happen here i mean all anyone needs to do is google a oh well time warner and they can see what a bad deal looks like but that being said i think global entertainment is the future of media and i think that these guys personal or are not these guys understand that that is where the growth is it's overseas. we really appreciate you being here professor lecturer at american university thank you so much my pleasure
