the migrant crisis when hungry closed its borders many migrants made their way through slovenia but they were trying to get to france to germany and into britain they didn't stay in slovenia so what do people where you are really think of the migrant crisis they will establish that if you're just going to mostly intercept the ball or get into a box of crayons and don't. do it who are a little bit surprised you see then the how many of them when i asked would you like to stay here this trip no no you are full. of money or whatever. people. like the highest. over from their neighboring italy the freshly formed euro skeptic government is also sending out a hostile message to illegal immigrants the new interior minister material salvini in some of the scribes italy's donald trump said his country will not become

a refugee camp and that newcomers need to make other plans. but there you know treatment is really. not yet fully played out for you. if you are going to be. in the sicilian port of to turn your he promised to reduce the number of illegal immigrants arriving in the country he also as you saw pledged to get to work on deportations a policy that's proving divisive in italy. you know i think the soviets right i hope he stops these illegal migrant arrival was what can they do here they are people without a house they have nothing. so then he should not be in the italian government today each country is composed of diverse ethnic groups and diverse people he comes completely close immigrant traffic i think it's ok to take a break he has to set rules migrants can come in discriminately they will create many problems in italy there are many problems already for example there is a lot of poverty and there is not enough jobs i am sure that's

a leni will not be able to stop migration he will not have the parliament's support . well just a reminder it clearly has been one of the main points of entry into europe for migrants on refugees coming from north africa and the middle east over six hundred thousand of arrived in the country since twenty fourteen and one recent poll suggests that fifty eight percent of italians are fearful of immigration the director of the italian institute for international political studies the scot says the issue today on our team is worlds apart ninety percent of the migrants legally comes from libya. was that important trading partner. which is important as you know you can buy all your. needs pipe and the pipe. to it to easily and. fold them for migration. so of course who are affected

and we played in your right and relevant role. the. experts investigating the grenfell tower fire in london said that safety measures were inadequate and that the authorities advice to stay part had effectively field the dumbing assessment comes as part of a public inquiry into the tragedy in which seventy two people were killed last year with an update on monday's hearing here's the deal richard for the purpose of the inquiry is to obviously look at the circumstances surrounding the night of the tragedy to see if it could have been prevented and the emergency services were looked at as well as the cladding now if you look at the emergency services it says that there should have been forty six minutes between the first phone call to nine nine nine and a response that didn't happen in fact they said that there was

a total failure of the stay put policy they also looked at the cutting and this was really interesting actually when they talked about certain materials that we use during we furbished meant a material called poly ether lein which is a highly combustible polymer was used and apparently it melts when exposed to fire and it acts as a fuel when it comes to fire mr mallet millett who is leading the inquiry said that this was the worst loss of domestic life by fire since world war two and we all know what happened that night.

following this tragic night the government obviously promised to house all. those who lost their homes but in fact what's happened in practice is only sixty two added two hundred nine have been house since this has caused widespread protests to car across the country over the year and people have been demanding answers but this inquiry it's not a quick fix i have to warn you of that they gave a whole timeline as to how long it was going to take it's going to be months they have one hundred thirty five witness statements alone to look at so yes you know the public want our answers but they are going to have to wait until they get all the answers and further action taken. the american president appears to believe he's in an invincible position within the white house

it seems just a few hours ago donald trump tweeted that among the powers that is the supposal is want to even pardon himself or his lawyer former new york mayor rudy giuliani went on record explaining that trump would need to be impeached before facing any legal action for whatever reason do you in the present attorneys believe the president has the power to pardon him self. he's not but he probably does. he has no intention of himself but he probably doesn't say again you know those comments come after the u.s. president pardoned a filmmaker and political commentator who trump thought was on for early prosecuted by the previous administration the move caused discontent in the american media and among the country's politicians killed my been 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 from 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 daddy can pardon you on. 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 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 play between marc rich and the clintons richard nixon stepped down after it was revealed that he had spied on his political. ponens 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 fool 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 hope 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 little less about honor and healing and a little more about you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours over centuries now there's been a process involved 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 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. that it's pretty hard to believe but it is just ten days and counting until football's biggest offend kicks off here in russia so what better time to catch up with former brazil defender and two time world cup winner himself food he gave us some insight into how his nation might perform at this summer's tournaments. expectations really high not only concern in the world cup in russia but also concerning the world cup in general especially regarding the brazilian team pressure is high you are fighting for

a world cup with the brazilian team there are more than two hundred twenty million brazilians that's two hundred and twenty million football coaches two hundred and twenty million football fans so there is additional pressure on players to have a great world cup when we come to the world cup we come to when no one plays at the world cup just to save a plate we come to ween of course sometimes it doesn't happen the way you wanted to but you can be sure that the won't be and the lack of commitment and brazil is going to have a great world cup and he was the bottle player himself will say. is fired up and ready to go for our special coverage throughout russia's first ever world cup.
