what do you just said that there is proof militants used chemical substances who punished them have they received any punishment did the coalition and attack them immediately i did not see anything like that because of. germany's refugee agency is being investigated for corruption it's accused of offering asylum for bribes chancellor merkel's noles been dragged into the scandal with claims that she was aware of the problems but did nothing to reform the organization our europe correspondent peter all of a picks up the story for you as the cash for asylum investigation into the german federal office for migration and refugees all come from gap is speed public focus has turned to the german chancellor angela merkel and what she knew about the agency's problems its former head frank here good advice gave an interview to a leading german sunday tabloid in which he said he held a face to face meetings with the chancellor and made it explicitly clear that his

agency couldn't cope with the pressures being put on it by refugee policy. there was no structure or organized development in the form of specific tasks set of priorities or occult collation of personality acquirements since no instructions were available everyone could work as they saw feet in response to those claims a spokesperson for angle merkel had this to say. of course there was an ongoing intense process of changing the work of the german federal office of migration and refugees when the refugee crisis broke out i'm just trying to make clear that mr vice is repeated reported on these changes in the prove months to the how the federal states the blunder stuck the cabinets he spoke at press conferences and again and again to the public and major league the chancellor was informed about the plan of the reforms and the measures taken in this agency. the investigation began after it was alleged that an employee at the time fought for us in bremen wrongfully granted asylum to twelve hundred people on the list though security

services say were two islamic extremists one of whom they describe as an actual terror threat while forty four others belonged to islamist groups prosecutors allege that the female employee took both money and gifts to grant asylum wrongfully between twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen as the investigation continues she did nice those charges against her politicians both from the opposition and from within and glimmer of course on coalition partners saying they want answers. it is not about accusations it is not about vindication of a conspiracy theory but rather about a sober investigation. we have to investigate the accusations of negligence and corruption and you have to do it quickly and everyone who was involved should give testimony the former refugee card to nato and the interior ministry there is a way to be done in this investigation last month the country's largest opposition

party alternative for germany launched a loss. suit against anglo merkel's refugee policy they say that the chancellor's decision to welcome around one of the half a million refugees to the country should have gone through a vote in the stock and the fact that it didn't is unconstitutional and so we put the legal course in front of the court to question whether there there is a legal. explanation or a legal reason to open our borders hopefully we'll have a special committee to go into that scandal well the point we're making is probably the scandal is not something about. someone one office environment and has to do with political responsibility and we have to look who is responsible for everything what has happened there but for now the big question remains if the chancellor knew that the migration and refugee agency was struggling why was

nothing done to relieve the pressure betrayal of r.t. . the main critics of our globe work all's liberal migration policy the right wing party who came for the country's general election last year meantime the right to show a strong showing in slovenia clinching a quarter of the vote there on sunday the increase in support for the s.t.'s party there's been widely linked to the migrant crisis almost half a million people pass through the country between twenty fifty and sixty attempting to cross into western europe s.t.'s leader claims why groups would be better off staying in their own countries. which during the biggest wave of mass migration we told our european partners the better life for those who want to come to europe should be secured in their home countries slovenian for loss of us level dziedzic told my colleague colleen bray that the rise of right wing nationalist parties is being driven to things by fundamental disconnect these days between politicians and large swathes of the public. it is just same process all at all western europe

united states and so on and so on the ruling liberal elites is usually say last song doctor we so called we're going to be all of you know you want to get us all simply don't eat it but it's end by european institutions and these opens up the strays and i don't see any good indications as far as slovenia is concerned at the height of 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 go to the established thought that a few days they're going to mostly intercept the border into a box of crayons and don't spot that directly to australia and who are a little bit surprised incidentally how many of them when i asked would you like to

stay here this is no no you are full. of money or whatever so. we will be tracking like at the highest point. just nine days now and counting to football's biggest event kicks off in russia so what better time an excuse to catch up with former brazil defender in two time world cup win a cat food he gave us some insight into how his nation might perform at this summer's tournament enjoy. expectations are 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 still hundreds 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 a world cup we come to when no one plays at the world cup just to see if it's late

we come to ween of course sometimes it doesn't happen the way you wanted to but you can be sure that the and the lack of commitment and brazil is going to have a great world cup is a glorious line a quick recap of the champions of the last five told him and for you starting with france ninety eight then brazil then of course italy and spain the current trophy holder then germany there's the german as well team our teeth fired up ready to go with our special coverage of fifa world cup twenty eight it's going to be russia's first time hosting the event and hope it's going to be great. hello.

that sort of see you. all go. yeah it's going to be huge we've even got radio on side with us and great reports come up over the next couple of months a social stay with us for the best coverage of course from the from russia now off the break here so they also look forward to tomorrow we're reporting from the baikonur launch pad today where the three crew going to getting ready for their

mission tomorrow to the international space station some great pictures come about from there we'll tell you all about it. thanks. you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want. you to go and. this is what before. you get. interested. in. anything he wants to say.

he can't fire you know it won't be another election until twenty twenty and he's gliding in twenty eighteen probably won't even live. representatives support in this election this year. since national's twenty post head of the morning mayor of moscow is kevin owen with more the news of federal prosecutors working on the russia probe of accused the u.s. president's former campaign manager of pressuring witnesses to give full service instead of a trial full mana ford said who failed to register as a foreign agent when he lobbied for ukraine in twenty twelve however america itself is no stranger when it comes to interference in other countries affairs but is a nice sethi explains that does seem to be a good excuse for this war they matched meddling in the two thousand and sixteen

u.s. presidential election still dominates headlines stateside russian meddling into the twenty sixteen election russian interference in russia is again trying to disrupt our elections russia did meddle in the two thousand and sixteen election but he didn't need a history lesson to understand that foreign meddling is a global game one that the u.s. plays very well. through our history when we tried to manipulate or influence elections or even overturn to governments it was done with the best interests of the people of that country in mind given the traditional reverence for human rights according to studies between nine hundred forty six and their two thousand great powers intervened one hundred seventeen times in foreign affairs with the us making up a large chunk of those statistics. part design in the cold interventions in other words situations when great powers that intervene in elections in other countries in an attempt to determine the election result the united states intervened in elections

of this in a do one elections in this manner in forty seven countries for this purpose between one thousand nine hundred eighty six and two thousand here's a few examples the say i publicly admitted it was behind the notorious nine hundred fifty three case of iran's democratically elected prime minister hey insisted oil should be nationalized which perhaps wasn't in the best interest of iranians or washington's it seems so he was overthrown and the shells were all installed for the next twenty six years to safeguard the west all ambitions in the country until it all ended and the west an islamic revolution. the one who is an enemy is america that is not based on prejudice or a pessimistic point of view but rather it stems from experience from a crippling and real understanding of the actual realities of the world from a wrong to chile two decades on and the cia is supporting

a bloody military coup in south america the pinochet government prisons torches and killed some forty thousand and also political enemies including us citizens and the f.b.i. surveillance like caesar peering into the colonies from distant rome nixon said the choice of government by the chileans wasn't acceptable to the president of the united states the attitude in the white. house seemed to be if in the wake of vietnam i can no longer send in the marines then i will send in the cia he with this in mind is alleging russian meddling in the us election a little hypocritical the reelection campaign a former russian president boris yeltsin was secretly managed by three american political consultants they spilled the beans to a us magazine about their collaboration with the clinton white house to bump up his approval ratings although the americans spoke no russian and worked through translators they began secretly laying out an american style campaign to counter

the public sentiment running against yeltsin the plot was thrilling so much so showtime made a movie about it based on a true story from the russians how deeply you did not just bury you whether they wanted to win. the election were held today apparently stalin getting. it seems as though outside intervention in domestic politics is as old as politics itself and when it comes to u.s. meddling it'll change your country for the best whether you want it or not. the death toll from the volcanic eruption in guatemala i was reach sixty nine according to officials of the seventeen of those people have been identified so far the number of dead could grow further to scores of people still missing this morning urgency workers are trying to retrieve bodies from layers of ash and destroyed villages over three thousand have been moved to safety many in temporary shelters works being hampered by the lack of electricity in the most heavily affected areas

this comes as a five point two quake struck off the coast of guatemala on monday as well a volcano the volcanic before you go city living up to its name the mountain of fire erupted sunday covering nearby villages and coffee farms and loads of ash that is considered to be the biggest eruption in guatemala and over a century this video shows the moment it all kicked off. it. was your idea out of reality. i mean. the fifty six mission to the international space station set to blast off on wednesday from the baikonur launch site in kazakhstan with an international crew onboard it's expected to take the three month crew two days to reach that orbiting lab up there jacqueline virgo is there for the launch. we rode into the baikonur

cosmodrome as the sun was rising in order to catch the first glimpses of the craft as it left the assembly platform to slowly surely and ever so cautiously make its way to the launch pad. the so you system is actually made up of two parts the rocket and the spacecraft itself first one of the gate was the rocket which contains the most i catch in aspect the first stage boosters which measure around twenty meters long they will burn for only one hundred eighteen seconds before falling away at which point the second the third stage rockets take over the top half is the actual spacecraft and it can also be broken down into three sections at the very top of the orbital module where the crew will sit for takeoff. currently the site you system is the only one in the world used to get crewmembers back and forth to the international space station behind me you can see the rocket taking its final position on the

platform before takeoff. the final system is finally in place here at launch pad one also known as the garden start named in honor of yuri good are in the first man ever launched in the space back in one nine hundred sixty one and that was just a few years after the first artificial satellite was also launched right from here and on wednesday i'm going to get a chance to witness my very own lift off. indeed i will bring you all those pictures those great to see that thing going off the way the world looking so far this tuesday will be a most good twenty seven it's no him saying thanks for watching we'll programs for you after the break. in july twenty seventh in el set up

a freelance journalist working was on to people close to militant shelling in syria . the owner of his second highest quality has established a holiday also to have a memorial they will recognize more reporters who often risk their lives for the sake of the truth and through that these you can submit to your published works in a video or written form until june the twelfth go to alone doughty dot com. one else holds the same wrong but all roles just don't hold. any old belief yet to say proud disdain comes to advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.

hey this is max a bit about your this is a report only got on the good stuff for you today. max but i want to bring up the issue of squirrels because the squirrels in this world are the bane of my existence we have many schools around here in north carolina and you know i notice because they're always dodging in front of my car and then i have to screech to a stop and they were running in front of the road and they have a little acorn in their mouth and they're like they think i'm going to stay alive and i spend all day long so so busy so engaged in burying all these

acorns all over the place because they're stupid and they have a bad memory so they don't learn from history that the fact is that they lose their cones all the time though they are so afraid of somebody stealing it and this is how stupid i think we as a human race are this is a very interesting analogy that you're making there what the squirrels you know they've got their own economy coming down hard on the squirrels they nuts and other squirrels fine and it's a big economy it all works out in the squirrels have been around for a long long time they were here before humans were here their ancestors and they'll be here after all gone because they've got a unique way of surviving this world well even think about it they bury these nuts and then other squirrels find it now look at this whole resistance movement in america and the media space we have they basically ran on

a platform of outrage and looking for anything to get the other side fired and now it's back firing on a lot of media personalities here in the united states from the left wing the from the resistance i might point out joy reid. samantha bee everybody's looking we as a media and cultural people are spending our time searching i go some thoughts on us well we're searching for those little knots that have been planted the seeds that acorns and nuts and somebody planted in an old blog post from like twenty years ago and we're trying to say fire that person fire that person yeah you got the squirrels versus the maximum credit tours in the white house that have lunch roasting up squirrel meat of all these media personalities here's the deal you've got basically profanity arbitrage you've got a profanity arbitrage in the making you see tron can say anything he wants to say and he can't fire on you know it won't be another election until twenty twenty and

he's gliding into twenty eighteen probably won't even lose many representatives and support in the in this election this year so he says something outrageous he says something profane that's not profound in any way and then celebrities like a sarah silverman or it's a samantha baby or is roseanne barr and there's got to be some guys too in this mix can't think of any at the moment but they say these outrageous things they tweet these outrageous things and the course corporate america will immediately fire them and they are out in the street because there's profanity arbitrage so it reminds me of we were living in the south of france if you recall and we live next door to a very famous chateau and this is where the rolling stones recorded one of their earliest records and style main street exile on main street and a lot of the locals trying to keep up with keith richards with his heroin years and

they all died but keith richards lived because keith richards is immortal but everyone else died so it's like these guys are the equivalent of us girls that run in front of the car and don't have somebody as nice as i to stop and let them. yes most people just run them over but i stop you know actually when you talk about trans tweets and he gets away with it if you look throughout history and mad emperors the mad kings if you look at the series the tutors it's a good demonstration of this henry the eighth was deranged ok he killed all his friends he executed half the royal family to kratz all over everybody and everybody around him had to go. you. you're such a benevolent king and of course this is the same thing with the grotesqueness of charles and his tweets when you see europeans when you see asians when you see

everybody responding as if they were close allies of america even though trump has tweeted like they're bimbo's over there and we're never going to we're going to slap on some tariffs and we're not going to deal with those people in there like they have to be polite and pretend that everything is easy in america has become like british or european aristocracy and they have forsaken their role of telling truth to power years ago decades ago they've become an instrument of corporate power and very little media so i agree with trump when he calls people from n.b.c. c.b.s. a.b.c. fake news because they are. using twitter to go directly to the public has worked brilliantly and i take on bridge at insulting king henry the eighth like this because of course he did invent the church of england which in america became a biskup alien ism which is my my religion also lets a researcher that there are other stories that of you know in this hyper active media world where you have twitter all day long and you need you know excitement

and people forget the news cycle within a few moments just like schoolgirls screaming at where they buried their eight corn we have stories like that story i don't know what really happened but some. pretend assassination a fake assassination that happened in ukraine because the ukrainian media or the lobbyist in the think tanks couldn't wait the ukrainians correlate with media amnesia station fake assassination of ukraine and all the major fake news networks in america n.b.c. c.b.s. and a.b.c. with this fact and it got egg on their face and it was quickly forgotten what exactly because the likes of rachel maddow couldn't wait for the real story to happen since i just grew up so they b.b.q. . oh well i lost it when i don't know i got it by car yeah is a fake story it's a fake assassination but just like the story about tax returns that she was so excited like it's tax returns i have this tax returns and they should be paid

thirty three million dollars in taxes that year and she's like oh i guess that's not so we're going to crawl down rivero al capone's tomb that was the beginning of this fake news cycle he was ahead of the curve or old oh yes i was like twenty years ago people might not remember that but i'm going to talk to a story about well in twenty years time again people might not remember this guy mike i'm a rube by michael ruggiero's profiles i think it's the new york times is one of these big papers has one million dollars in student loans how did that happen escalating tuition and easy credit have yielded a class of student loan borrowers with spectacular debt they may never pay back due to escalating tuition and easy credit the u.s. has one hundred one people who go at least one million dollars in federal student loans according to the education department five years ago just fourteen people owed that much more could join that group well the typical student loan borrower owes seventeen thousand dollars the number of those who at least one hundred thousand has risen to around two point five million nearly six percent of the

borrowing pool according to the edge of her department right and they know nothing about it when they go to these colleges and universities they study things that have no marketable after a college value. whatsoever like philosophy or. art school but they are willing to take on a million dollars in debt so that they can enter the workforce find themselves at the mercy of the government's military industrial complex that will say hey we figured out a way for you to pay off your debt become a drone operator and kill people remotely in villages across the world they're going to say this is quite multi-layered first of all we do need a dentist this guy mike maroon is an orthodontist doctors perhaps we need lawyers who knows we need plumbers we need electricians we need. people who can make our coffee for us we need these sort of people and we need to educate and train them

right so there is a need for this but have we gone about it in the most drange the way possible we spent a lot of time just like i said about those squirrels they look really busy all day long running around trying hard to you know plant these little acorns that think oh my mom or a stick of a million dollars a month to learn how to be a plumber not yet they're actually making hard money cash and they have a savings account and they're buying the eighteen percent debt of the student loan repackaged and they're make an big bucks mess and these ridiculous debt mongers in fact the u.s. government meaning the u.s. taxpayer backs almost all student loans this happened under bush essentially during the financial crisis and banks and when all these bad debts and the subprime loans said and when the student debts the government took it on and of course what happened since the financial crisis is the debt to issue went up because the government is now backing the debt so everybody could take out

unlimited amounts of debt this is something passed under then the collective stupidity in america keeps escalating yes even though we have paying millions and billions and hundreds of billions to in debt a whole generation of morons. yes and of course many in our sort of a condom we value debt we think credit and debt are so they're like that amazing this girl has found it so good he's going to go bury this and make sure he find it later well of course in twenty five years time when the student debts expire this guy mike munro he owes a million dollars because he only borrowed something like six hundred thousand dollars to go to u.s.c. dental school medical school than dental school and. it keeps he keeps keeps building because he doesn't even pay anything down towards the principal he doesn't even cover the interest on the debt so by law he doesn't have to pay it after

twenty five years it just basically expires so in twenty five years his debt will be two million dollars even though he's going to pay thirteen hundred dollars a month towards as ten percent of his income have his after tax income according to the law here of year and you know if the government owns your debt essentially. in twenty five years time some taxpayers of the future will find his acorn which is this pile of debt that expires they're collectively stupid and then they're going to monetize up by repackaging these stupid student debt bombs and then sell them into pension accounts suttle go to zero every time we say who i think of this viral video that's out there now the fluctuating kangaroo or a few saying that but this kangaroo is flat is elating and then it waves away the with it waves it away and actually it was brought to my attention by a.p. reporter the in washington only met only link to this flesh living kangaroo so here's a guy who's in the.
