2:07 pm
elections say's russia has hacked the state's a voter registration system but the local authorities say there is no information to back up about claims picking up the story. bill nelson democratic senator from florida has some alarming news he says that russia has hacked its way into the state's voter registration records they have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about well time demand the battle stations this is big news except for some reason no one in florida has ever heard about it there are revelle from the florida department of state says that no law enforcement is aware of anything of this nature she says they have received zero information from nelson about his claim and that the f.b.i. the d.h.s.s. and all the florida law enforcement have is observed nothing of the kind the department of homeland security in washington d.c. has now confirmed that they've never heard about it spokesperson sarah sendek says
2:08 pm
that it didn't happen to she says we have not heard any news of compromises by russian actors of the election infrastructure build nelson however says he has obsessional inside information about russian hackers in florida but he can't tell us the details because it's classified he can't tell us which counties have been hacked because it's classified and he can't tell us who told him this you guessed it it's classified nobody in florida has heard of it the department of homeland security has not heard about it but let's take bill nelson at his word let's say the russians actually have hacked into the voting records don't you think that bill ought to be giving whatever information he has to the d.h.s.s. and to florida officials shouldn't he be telling them before he tells the media if they haven't heard about it yet shouldn't they have heard about it now and shouldn't they now take that information and stop the breach why is bill not swing into action getting all the local and federal officials involved well that's
2:09 pm
classified so classified that bill is holding all the cards and leaving the rest of america in the dark talk of russia is certainly a headline grabber but this time no one is rushing in to save the unnamed counties in florida and that's what makes it a bit too fishy it sounds a bit like somebody isn't telling the truth and that somebody is a lot closer to miami than to moscow. spain has no surpassed both italy and greece as europe's main entry point for migrant arrivals with almost thirty thousand people are reaching its borders so far this year on thursday we know eighty seven asylum seekers docked in the southern spanish port of . with the local america claiming the city doesn't have the resources to cope with them we were not informed of anything as man i have to ensure citizens interests and i don't want social imbalance here the spanish have big hearts yes but on this
2:10 pm
issue we have to use our heads because there is not enough money since january over twenty three thousand refugees have arrived in spain by sea alone that's a sizable increase compared to last year and as they must have influx shows no sign of slowing down concerns have reached the spanish capital to the go after i don't know we need to take more measures to help this migrants in their countries of origin but there's no one bothers to compete with the surge grandstanding the law is it's all about politics they're simply playing with people. we can't let these people simply die in the sea but this has been happening for a long time and it will let these things happen again and again. well today suddenly a new migrant deal between spain and germany came into force under the agreement refugees traveling from spain can be returned there within forty eight hours of arrival at the german border here so the german interior minister described the
2:11 pm
deal. thus the german governing coalition wants a procedure with the main affected countries to negotiate the process of repatriation of migrants i hope that soon we will get some clarity and see if it works out in the end the german people would not understand if we took in more refugees and we sent back this wouldn't fly politically. or president of a right wing spanish political movement respect claims the country blindly follows any orders it gets from berlin. but a lot of the only purpose of the symbolic agreement is to help merkel save face before her own government which is in trouble right now and of course spain is going to obediently take whatever merkel throws at us europe cannot accept any more migrants every week we see problems plaguing spanish cities or because there's no way to control the inflow of migrants because there's no way to give jobs to the newcomers all the while thousands of skilled young spanish people are leaving the
2:12 pm

2:16 pm
access. this is what we call an in and inside the risk is being highlighted over the past several years by various sources including i are. you know with all the security measures that we have around we've got the passengers it has been warned that we need to start looking into employees but unfortunately it's not a very popular subject within the industry people need to realize that look flying an aircraft is not flying it correctly is the heart so i understand that there's a ton of they know that there's astonishment by people how could this go on pilot that the aircraft well this is not the first time. in the sixty's we had a u.s. u.s. air force mechanic stealing a u.s. air force transport aircraft and ending up crashing so this is you know this is nothing new to the industry. right staying on the west coast of america california police chief solomon has been arrested for an attack on an elderly sikh man two

2:18 pm
this seems to be more of their trend after post nine eleven and in america they were in treaty tracking the shape crimes on six but after certain incidents including deaths in the post nine eleven or deaths of sick men they started tracking it and now in two thousand and fifteen and the estimates are for this year one of the majors six in right organization estimates it to be once a week now so what we do know is that this tiger tracking it about three years ago it was no one so he and it definitely has escalated in their trunk their own more and it is a direct correlation between fact there was a study you know after nine eleven which showed that how the correlation between those two people in america perceived to be terrorists primarily bitter going on and at it looking or anyone who is are terrible looking men and they just supposed
2:19 pm
those are correlated there to do people who are doing the same things although it's actually it's an accurate. the company at the center of the long running scandal over polluted water supplies in the u.s. city of flint in michigan is a partner lining up to be a private supplier in nigeria a country where millions still don't have access to clean water eager to down off picks up the story. nigeria is a country going up against all sorts of hardship poverty corruption the resurgence of terrorist groups but there's an even more fundamental one water about forty percent of the country's population almost seventy million people live without access to clean water for eighty thousand people who live here there's only one borehole for every sixty households used to walk miles to fetch water by the river now we fetch from this bore hole nearby and have time to cook and wash it all the uses the water for cooking and the laundry of course. we don't need to drink

2:22 pm
access pipeline which was accused of ignoring heritage and putting business before people. well frankly nigerians don't stand to lose much when it comes to water supply it's so scarse activists have called for a state of emergency but with business sharks calling the shots the country's crisis kind of down the drain entirely so-called investors are ready to call in and then there's more to be made so between one million to four deliberately government it is just purely business commodification of what the financial as usual just like all i did do the beautiful little revolt people will go to accept it because

hawks. i'm afshin rattansi we're going underground as germany's angela merkel goes to spain to meet with new prime minister petro sanchez and with the continued imprisonment of democratically elected politicians in the european union coming up on the show as even president obama's u.n. ambassador appears to have qualms about half price support for the u.k. backed war in yemen what now for the world's worst humanitarian crisis we go to southern to speak to save. the children the stories of a continues to sanction the training of war played pilots bombing the country and
2:26 pm
on the film's thirtieth anniversary we speak to the award winning director of heathers like a lehman about creating leaks from the cafeteria to congress plus merkel goes to madrid but from the spanish civil war to the catalonia referendum is one region of the iberian peninsula emblematic of the fundamental lack of democracy in the european union all of them all coming up in today's going underground but first britain continues to train the warplane pilots bombing yemen as it faces what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis u.k. minority government may defends the policy by saying britain is a great arms exporter we have one of the strongest regimes in terms of exports of alms anywhere of any kind and he loves cats not even the way mainstream international media sees it arguably the british government is now coming under fire from critics who say billions of pounds in british made weapons sold to saudi arabia are being used to blow up yemeni hospitals and commit human rights abuses

2:28 pm
the so-called thirty u.a.e. coalition shouldn't be bombing hospitals today saudi u.a.e. coalition baba hospital yesterday unicef reported that they have repeatedly attacked facilities that provide drinking water horrifying in the extreme u.s. and all the port full court press on sept peace talks in the shadow of a bomb or administration officials making extraordinary you terms of alleged war crimes like that and a group claiming continued bombing of the poorest country in the middle east by our a.f. trained warplane pilots we're going to hear from ngo save the children joining me now from for the by skype is our son bashar assad welcome to going underground the i.c.r.c. has been telling r.t. in the past few days the dozens of civilians have been killed mostly children in u.k. armed saudi strikes in dian in the saga something save the children can corroborate what the i.c.r.c. is saying actually it was very tragic what we receive these of the mission about an explosion attack against a best seller for kids and to look for children and it happened twenty five
2:29 pm
kilometers northwest of solder city. the numbers and dozens killed and injured this was a very very horrifying incident and of course you had a bad incident one week ago that happened in an area in the hospital of farah those incidents keep targeting civilians and the casualties are not kids and civilians who have nothing to do with this war so there must be equal protection these baddies disobedience must be conflicted and women from any active force and they must be investigation and those sorts of laws are supported these attacks the speed of the council and of save the children were directly affected by the one in a day there but just before we get on to that one the official saudi press agency of saudi arabia is being quoted as saying the school bus bombing was a legitimate military action and saudi arabia saying children are being used by the community as human shields. roberta beers about those carrots is that they're heading to a some account that's an activity the ministry of education is doing in the
2:30 pm
summertime and they're bringing kids to schools to do activities sports and such so that's that imported statement about the bus and who was incited a majority of the way it could be a legitimate military action there is knowledge it is see in attacking civilians who are not picking up aunts and one not fighting in front lines civilians children's war men they must not be targeted in areas where there are no classes or where they cannot be seen as hostile or participating in this in this in this war so no we cannot we cannot see how this is a legitimate the british britain exports billions of pounds or other warplanes and bombs and terrorism is as we have the one of the highest standards of arms export.
