3:06 am
also what is the functioning of the. harbor and this could heart massive implications on a population which is already. a significant. and it's a. huge amount of assistance it's a manmade crisis. and by extension given to some of its crisis there is the possibility for the parties to the conflict under international barker's to stop the fighting and. to engage in talks that we view the humanitarian situation. the israeli prime minister is expected in germany later today who is on a three day trip to europe to drop support for amendments to the iran nuclear deal we may find it hard going as european signatories to the agreement and determined to see it rescued after the u.s. withdrew. a leap for europe to meet three key leaders wrangler merkel emanuel mark

cronin treason may no reiterating the new old untruth israel will not lesser on obtain nuclear. or government regrets the decision of the us administration to withdrawal from a deal that diminishes confidence in the international order what do we want to be fossils that would have a long beach what americans tell them we are it's a state so much in keeping these agreements number one top economic relations with iran with acting already the european union never to make sure that so the nuclear agreement is preserved yeah trump has lost the battle no one followed his decision and now we have to make good on the feeling our obligations. america abandoned that hard won deal with iran in may the graham occurred iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions it was signed by france germany and britain megabuck trust who's head of the political sciences at hell one university cairo believes
3:08 am
those three are not going to break under u.s. israeli pressure anytime soon either. meeting you who is. playing a show. in the european partners with his european partners to abandon the deal but i am in doubt that he can be successful in this endeavor his european council for. mean the. germany france and the u.k. have expressed their. political position that they are not abandoning it i believe that the national interests of those three countries that they want to secure strategic relations with iran and they are not sacrificing it for this week of the u.s. . and iraqi court has sentenced
3:09 am
a french woman to life in prison for joining the islamic state terror group but she did escape the death penalty it has to be said molina by idea was captured last year in mosul and sentenced to seven months in prison for entering the country illegally after the end of that sense and she's due to be deported home to france but prosecutors demanded a retrial they say she violated the country's antiterrorism law by following her husband to iraq they say he went there to join the terror group explicitly well meantime sides of all this the bigger problem of radicalization in french prisons as authorities raising the alarm five hundred terrorists are now imprisoned in france around twelve hundred prisoners are reportedly radicalized and to a large lot of people in france forty a jew for release back into the public domain over the next two years the country's leading counterterrorism prosecutor wants that move poses a major threat to the public. measures a major brisk of seeing people who are not at all repentant at the end of their
3:10 am
sentence leave prison and yet be even more radical after their time behind bars so with many question in remission if shola do bensky went to visit europe's biggest jail. not only is there concern over the threats that these individuals may pose to the outside world but also while they're incarcerated this is a flaw. it's europe's largest prison and amongst the thousands of inmates being held here some unknown joe hardest see. ya done move every day in france prison guards are attacked we have been off the next one thousand one hundred supervisors of the next four years but for now we
3:11 am
don't see anything happening we're tired of this you are the first t.v. channel i'm telling this to but yesterday we had a suicide and since january we've had ten other cases exhaustion among staff and concerns for their own welfare spilled over into protests. still the calls for help going on oncet and now prisons like this could soon be and locking their doors to let those radicalized inmates back into society zero say la pook on this prison is the largest in europe there are four thousand three hundred inmates it's overcrowded and we don't have enough staff we have more than one hundred twenty radicalized inmates here so you can imagine i difficult it is for a prison supervised to handle this the forty alleged radicalized inmates who will soon get out of jail will likely find themselves on account to terrorism watch list a list that already once into the tens of thousands four thousand of whom are
3:12 am
considered dangerous tragically even those on the watch list often slip through the fingers of security services. french authorities say they have to do more to properly monitor for me inmates and with france having suffered so much through terror attacks in recent years many would argue it's about time they did charlotte even ski r.t. paris. in italy the newly formed euro skeptic government sent a tough message for illegal immigrants coming into the country the minister of the
3:13 am
interior mateo selvi in the also described by many as italy's answer to trump says it's time to pack your bags here you know people is really need enough. for you. if you are going to be. speaking in the sicilian port of catan he promised to reduce the number of migrant arrivals he also pledged to get to work on the deportation of illegal migrants a policy that's led to division in italy. i think this so venus writes i hope he stops these illegal migrant arrival was what can they do here they are people without a house they have nothing so so very should not be in the italian government today each country is composed of diverse ethnic groups and diverse people you can't completely close immigrant traffic aopa i think it's ok to take a break he has to set rules migrants can come indiscriminately they will create many problems in italy there are many problems already for example there is
3:14 am
a lot of poverty and there is not enough jobs promised that i am sure that so many will not be able to stop migration he will not have the parliament support. italy's been a favorite destination. for north african migrants and refugees of upsets hundred thousand arrive this is twenty fourteen now recent polls suggest fifty eight percent of a tallies are afraid of immigration the director of the italian institute for international political studies part of my great spoke to our worlds apart specifically about this issue ninety percent of the migrants violence need only comes from libya libya was that important trading partner libya is a source of gas which is important as you know you can buy all you somewhere but gas needs pipe and the pipe from libya to to italy and it's a source for migration. so all of course we are affected and we played in this every element of all. the out of the did that duffy could discuss or worse
3:15 am
on why he took that he did and we could discuss for minutes on why e-coli had to follow. i'm not saying that and said that that good duffy's was and had to be he or she was a dictator but as you know we have been used to leave along only dictators in many other countries. ten fifteen monday morning here in moscow a nice sunny day here it is with you that you're a day is going to go ok you can say with me for at least the next fifteen minutes to hear about international coming up despite u.k. authorities pledging to eradicate child poverty millions we can report is still living on the breadline a special report ahead after this break. seems
3:16 am
wrong but i. just don't. get to see how to stay active. and engaged equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. we have the privilege of being the most allied ally of the united states. send to see to and many other alliances promoted by the west united states in particular for members while we also have the privilege of being the most sanctioned. of that to any group of countries so while it sounds contradictory it is contradictory and this shows that pakistan will do what is in its national
3:17 am
interest it will know it's just cool with the wind but we'll be a. good one for moscow so don't trust attorney the former new york mayor rudolph giuliani said it caused a stir by claiming that the us president cannot be indicted he said that even if he shot his ex f.b.i. chief james komi congress needs to be impeached before taking legal action against him but in the same interview he also went on to say that the president's unlikely to ever use his power to pardon himself. do you in the present attorneys believe the president has the power to pardon himself. he's not but he probably does the mayor has no intention of pardoning himself but he probably doesn't say can't well those comments came after the u.s. president pardoned a filmmaker who he thought was unfairly prosecuted by the previous administration
3:18 am
move cause discontent in the american media and among the country's politicians caleb maupin picks up the story. donald trump is once again drawing outrage from the democrats this time for pardoning right wing political commentator dinesh d'souza now d'souza pled guilty in two thousand and fourteen to making illegal campaign contributions trump is being blasted now from some quarters because they allege that essentially he's letting a political ally off the hook president drumm seemingly passing out pardons to heroes of the far right almost as eagerly as oprah once gifted pontiacs to suburban moms there are questions about his judgment and intent the president mining people my dad he can pardon you are. and i'm going to. but if you look over the history of presidential pardons and sentence commutations they've always kind of been handed out this way back in april donald trump gave a full pardon to scooter libby a former member of the bush administration scooter libby had been involved in
3:19 am
outing the identity of a cia agent and then obstructing justice in order to cover it up george w. bush had already communities set back in two thousand and seven scooter libby decision was a sort of fair and balanced says don't forget about the biggest case of tax evasion in all of us history marc rich was convicted of defrauding the u.s. government of roughly forty eight million dollars rich was going to face three hundred years in prison until bill clinton stepped in to give him a second chance now it also happens that marc rich was a big contributor and supporter of bill clinton's presidential campaigns marc rich was on the f.b.i.'s ten most wanted list bill clinton on his last day in office pardons him a lot of people were shocked and surprised including his political allies even after marc rich died money from his estate continued flowing into hillary clinton's foundation and then there was an investigation that determined there was no foul
3:20 am
play between marc rich and the clintons richard nixon stepped down after it was revealed that he had spied on his political. opponents and then obstructed justice in an attempt to cover it up now gerald ford who were placed in the oval office decided to let bygones be bygones he said it was an act of mercy all right your are for. the president of the united states granted and by these presidents to grant a free and absolute pardon under richard nixon the first presidential pardon in u.s. history was handed down by george washington the leaders of a rebellion that had taken place at the time the man dubbed the father of america hoped that this act of forgiveness would help bring a new country together but roll on two hundred years and it seems that presidential pardons and sentence commutations are a little last about honor and healing and a little more about you scratch my back i'll scratch yours over centuries now
3:21 am
there's been a process of volved where you have something called the office of the pardon attorney people meticulously review the cases and decide which one should make it to the president's desk dinesh d'souza he was railroaded under the obama administration he was aggressively prosecuted for an offense that is generally not prosecuted to the level of this one was and his life was virtually ruined root in this country we have a crisis because the mainstream media the corporate media refuses to accept the idea that donald trump is a legitimate president united states entitle to wield the legitimate powers that every united states president has we all the while in office that's their core problem until they get over that they're going to be writing a lot of fake news. at least twenty five people being killed after a volcano erupted in guatemala authorities also report at least twenty been injured as well the mountain spewed rocks black smoke and ash ten kilometers up into the air what a mess there more casualties feared as emergency services are conducting rescue
3:22 am
operations in the affected areas it's called the vulcan doof way go that means volcano or fire city living up to his name in it it's the right thing for the second time this year this one is said to be the biggest since one thousand nine hundred seventy four. at the turn of the millennium the british government pledged to eradicate child poverty by twenty twenty but as our deadline approaches over four million children in the u.k. still live in poverty the redfish media companies produce a special report on the worst hit areas i can tell you can watch the full video on this site or on you tube or facebook last week the first part aired now we've got the second part of this eyeopening report. we're in the sixth richest country in the world with a welfare system in place meant to help those most in need and yet that's not what we've been hearing at all it's like we've witnessed two completely different worlds . full million over four million of our children are living in poverty and the expectation is that's going to grow and the government at the same time is cutting
3:23 am
all the resources that. previously expected experts say that children living in the most deprived areas are most likely to suffer from physical and mental health problems that will follow them into adults but even in london second richest kensington and chelsea the extreme levels of inequality here were brought to their national attention last year when seventy one residents of the ground. were killed in a fire that had been blamed on reckless cost cutting measures by the conservative led council in the shadow of the burnt out tower sean mendis runs the sport for children in the area you know you see that the bar has spent millions of pounds refurbishing millions of pounds on a new museum and millions of pounds refurbishing exhibition road in the meantime on the breadline when the family happened to access food banks every single day just that you can feed themselves you know that's really promised within three weeks

3:25 am
a symbol of two britons the houses to my right is the britain of footballers and many of their houses to my left is the britain of lucy. struggling to make ends meet getting by day by day with very little support from anyone i knew growing up in what can only be described as poverty we're going to have a situation where we've got an underclass when we have a whole section of society that has not had the same advantages as other sections and we're talking about a big percentage which we can about a third of children so we will have children who will have been undernourished all their lives who will have not had the same access to coach. fresh air and exercise as are the children who haven't had the same chance to experience the things of the children.
