the eat. the police responding to gas and we got the tub in that's at c.v.s. . the at the. at what. up. this process looks like it's a no win me it's a completion and the police in the streets out in force surrounding waiting to find sound once again if any more violence happens here. almost a year on from the gravel far in london in which seventy two died a public inquiry has officially been launched it opened with emotional testimony from victims' families and survivors one spoke about his son was stillborn just

hours after the tragedy please the way you may find some of the following video upsetting to watch. so i held my son. coping. is what i treat my wife. she's made of the hardest thing to do i know. it was a strength coach so what we have. more

survivors will give the recounts over the next week or so the probe event look into wider issues like the government's response time and preventative actions it is going to meet locals who say they're frustrated though and how little has changed. it's almost been a year since the devastating blaze and what's left of the grenfell tower can 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 grand felt and people living here want their government to make sure that it is also 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 between when. it just costs us praise and streakiness cheap to why would you risk the lives of so many people to this point comes in the street. so we know that it's obviously not safe before the top of the guy at the moment signs are becoming the book of mormon homes with so what can the residents of tower blocks like these do in an emergency the advise 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 tourism a 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 alum in the imploding material replaced with non combustible materials so are the

authorities doing enough awful lot of government haven't done enough. to the needs of those of us which 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 cloud is they should have resolved upon our next move even as i could see i mean to go against 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. . well the u.k.'s housing minister says 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 grenfell

residents yet to be rehearsed while some eighty two households are still living in emergency accommodation one campaigner whose home overlooks the charred remains of grenfell says he has little hope that the government's words will turn into anything more 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 around buildings to do we shouldn't discuss it in parliament 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 year to argue that we need a diversity in that it is to kind of want to see that we view what was obvious how long will it pass to get justice. and some terrible scenes from there will be a group for money because i've been looking into the tragedy and its aftermath

creating a documentary called fail by the state if you want to watch it you can catch it on the redfish you tube channel and facebook is a very quick look at what they've produced. i was born a girl for the hour 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 it was sight it was beyond traumatic you know we will felt by the state before and after the fire. when food changed everything we talk politics now and how we can take power. if we continue to stand and make a noise and not shut 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 office so we need to seize these opportunities and move in as much as.

donald trump has ordered an investigation into his own investigators an independent inspector general now is set to look into whether the f.b.i. is twenty sixteen probe into alleged russian collusion was legal or not and nexus caleb maupin explains tonight it's starting to become difficult to find someone that hasn't been caught up in the big wave of suspicion over it all. 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 adult 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 wants 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 effort. tom called him a disgrace. 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. artsy new york. germany's

refugee agency is being accused of illegally granting asylum to hundreds of migrants in some cases and taking cash bribes the agency cold bumf has no told pti it's expanding its investigation into the claims scandal initially broke out in april with media reports of mass bribery in abreu and in yemen. rehman the federal migration agency now plans to review a further eight thousand five hundred approvals in nearly a dozen branches that's on top of eighteen thousand cases in bremerton it's twelve hundred asylum claims were approved illegally between twenty thirty and sixty while former official and five other employees are also being investigated. if the applications don't meet the necessary crating area 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. that

was ahead of germany's migration refugee agency he was also under investigation over whether she knew or not about any problems it true its troubles like those which have seen public confidence in the agency plummet with eighty percent of germans saying their trust is now run out in it and it sparked outrage among some of the country's left wing politicians too it is questionable whether the events in bremen were really the exception trust in the federal office for migration and refugees is 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 germany's migration agency point so in return that just because there's not going to burst a geisha doesn't necessarily mean the violations have taken place we need time to a political consultant rain across the told us the problem has long been known about but no action has been taken into 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 the man and it's obvious that kleeman 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 that 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. ten prominent saudi feminists have been arrested in craters for undermining the kingdom's national security the detention comes just weeks before a ban on women driving cars in saudi arabia are going to be lifted one of those

jailed was a woman caught driving in to buy and she was extradited back to saudi arabia to face charges human rights watch stressed that the only crime committed is the women's rights in general and denounce direct addition riyadh responded saying the detained feminists undermine fundamental religious and national laws and accused them of cooperating with foreign groups that undermine national security. very accused of trespassing against the country's religious and national foundations suspicious communication with foreign entities recruiting people working in government positions funding hostile groups abroad to undermine saudi national security stability social peace and destroying social cohesion. saudi arabia's crown prince has called himself a reformer who advocates women's rights doing those changes are essential to the kingdom's development he also previously said he wanted to return the country to moderate islam saying he wants an open society not a hardline one well that sort muhammad been salman praised by celebrities and

politicians during the recent tour across the u.s. hollywood actor dwayne johnson for example said he supports bin salman's modernization efforts and he wants to visit saudi arabia soon we have from the coordinator of the antiwar coalition there who told us the reforms could actually make things worse in saudi society met with leaders of. the entertainment industry met with a financial and industrial leaders really met with the whole spectrum and they think they are trying to give a legitimacy to saudi arabia and. i think that's a problem because saudi arabia is becoming. more and more problematic in the whole region of the middle east this reform use is just a facade and when women take advantage of the very slight openings that have happened in saudi arabia there is a crackdown. i think a lot of the purpose of the facade was to placate forces outside of saudi arabia

and not really for the saudi people themselves. you can follow stories we just covered so much more of course saucily great resource don't call my service twenty four seven talking about services twenty six minutes past monday night here and more scope this choose dating this be done and dusted for now thanks for watching this planet in more for me in just over half an hour's time more great programs for you in your part of the world right after this break. 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 just thirty or forty percent of everything that's traded out there

gets gobbled up and taken pride. in some american cities the police. cling to ricky to the. people who walk on the streets of the united states who are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect the people and afraid of police them if. you can see something happening and this is like i don't want to call the. president call the cops in. their lives chasing the. dream goes on the trigger you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to gun so . unfortunately around and around here we end up killing our guns. from some. place to.

put them so. the lawn. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury or something i want to be friends. that's it like to be for us this is what before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our. quest to. greetings and salutations from nineteen 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 two thousand and nineteen it's also why sen condi 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 its thumbs 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 would be a large. part of. what it looks like you are going to. the police. this.

week sam. welcome everybody to watch him a hot time top of the wall is and joining me today is legal expert and media expert lionel a vinyl 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 in 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 are and as you know you have to test the substance to make sure it is what you say it is a measure of there was a back cocaine. bath 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 and terms of not that money should be concerned but for people who have to put a price tag on things it terms of incarcerations getting people off the street there is 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 sometimes situations taboo 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 these 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 it as a whole s.p. you 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 man i want my d.n.a. expunged from that database is that something that may have to come on the 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 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 used 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 thinking of but d.n.a. is you it's not a fingerprint the sun a hair sample it's you the technology gets faster. it's fascinating but if you have a rate versus that of a sec to me now there are other ways to look at the theory yourselves too but this is not as simple as the 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 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 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 show which is already 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 highlights and and she got a processor one for the cat's 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 too because it's hard because i keep trying to defend this idea that you know of course allowed to be upset 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 hundred twenty nine russians and twenty nine million russians across the world varying amounts of like whether it was your ancestors or you live there and many ethnic groups right what does that saying to the world when we're up there making crocks about a half. especially by the way that that symbolizes one of the reasons why we vanquished one of the worst serial 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 what 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 that 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 do you think she is just cosmically organically intellectually bereft of any ability to make the connection of how silly this looks yeah that it would be better

just to move.
