missed by the president and donald trump was a host on the reality t.v. show the apprentice he really took the show's iconic catchphrase to heart you're fired you're fired you're fired. now that donald trump is the president getting fired by him isn't exactly a career setback take the case of michael cohen this is michael cohen's lawyer urging people to support michael cohen with an online fundraiser for hoping that he will get some help from the american people so we can continue to be in the audience isn't it they don't appear ready to donate some people might be laughing but the cash is flowing and then there's peter strock the disgraced former f.b.i. agent who sent to trump messages to his mistress now he's raising money online he's already raised four hundred forty three thousand dollars hoff a million dollars i want to go fund me just for heating donald trump this cancer patients on that site that are like hey we hate him too can you pay for my

treatments like no you really hate him we could tell and then there's andrew mckay the f.b.i. director who was fired without benefits now mccain has already managed to raise five hundred thirty nine thousand dollars this issue of him raising some money in order to pursue this you know that's one issue it's a nasty cool issue it's it's something that you know doesn't reflect good character and if you want to get more creative than crowdfunding you can always write a book i'm rosa manigault newman's new book unhinged tells stories from inside the white house thirty four thousand copies were sold within the first ten days and before on the rose it was james komi the fired f.b.i. director now he wrote a book about donald trump and within the first week six hundred thousand copies flew off the shelf writing books about donald trump is a smart move this year every single title on the new york times nonfiction bestseller list has been about the. donald trump so if donald trump yells his

natori is catch phrase that you don't sweat it it could be a ticket to making more money than he paid you to begin with what people have to realize one of the bout is that donald trump has been more. a source of jobs for more people who have done nothing more than become or exist as a disgruntled either former trump fan or employer or associate i mean right now it is a cottage industry to see how much you can hate donald trump be trade donald trump and cash in in the mean time i have never seen any thing like this and obsession a fixation and obsessive compulsive disorder a focus to big way should i can think of no other way no no psychological construct that can best describe this unnatural and unhealthy.

focused rage and not just not let me clarify not over a particular policy program platform vision idea no it's just ham. after scaping islamic states imprisonment and fleeing to germany a girl from iraq skews e.g. minority says she came face to face with a bicycle cops on rapist not once but twice in the european country we spoke to us work who told us she still lives in fear. john hamm or i we were saudi seven girls captured by fighters in taken to syria the worst time in my life was the moment when i separated me from my family they took us away from our mothers fathers brothers they even have a ducted eight year old girls they tortured us raped test sold us into slavery who were looking for gasland anything sharp knife scissors when we couldn't find

anything to cure selves with. is one of thousands of girls and slaves while i still throughout the middle east. had them in the medical profession and i got a. chill on my that essay. about an abominable push but i knew no more and passed on but i can add though that he wanted it bad that my flesh. you know now is not. allowed in my lower level in the alpha would not have found.

nineteen years old she was captured by so four years ago after several months though she managed to escape and flee to germany once there she claims she again met at all meant. germany was willing to take in one thousand women who had escaped from jail i went there to forget what i'd been through i said abou as i was going home after school i couldn't believe my torturer could have found out where i lived the next time i saw he was two years later a car pulled up beside me he asked me if i was and i said i didn't know he were walk how is it possible that my rapist is living here and has the same rights as me my boss called the police and told them what he looked like and they scratched his face and it looked the same i told them there had been no other witnesses i told them i'd never imagine the possible for fighter to be in germany however the police were unable to trace his name german prosecutors however say the information provided by ashok wasn't enough to identify the man fearing for her safety in

germany she decided to move back to iraq thinking i told my dad that the person who raped me it was in germany that i didn't want to leave there no matter what my dignity is more important than being in germany i put my life in danger to escape from myself to retain my dignity and he wanted me to stay in germany knowing that the one who was responsible for my misery is free in that country all i wanted was to be somewhere safe but after meeting him i was afraid the whole time that he heard me again so i couldn't stay there anymore. well that's it for this half hour join us again just a short break for more news. still seems wrong but well we just don't all. get to shape out just to educate and in detroit it was

a trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. our.

welcome back so our tears and ash will russia's the french ministry has warned of an imminent provocation being prepared in syria in lang's terrorists are going to stage a chemical attack and lay the blame allegedly on the assad government a strike on case using poison laden missiles is planned within the next forty eight hours that some players outside the region are preparing yet more provocations on syrian soil involving chemical weapons with the aim of destabilizing the situation there and undermining the positive dynamics of the ongoing peace process. my colleague and he discussed the story with artie's done quarter. well the latest report comes from residents from the province in syria and they say that a group of civilians is being trained in a nearby area called coffers to carry out the aftermath of a chemical attack to be blamed on the assad government now eight barrels of

chlorine have already been apparently delivered there and the white helmets are ready to perform a fake rescue basically as the ministry says they want to send footage to arab in english speaking media outlets and we asked the white house once for their comment on this on their involvement in the situation but they have yet to respond now muska has raised concerns not just about the possible actions of those on the ground hasn't it yeah absolutely just a few days ago quite out of the blue actually john bolton said that washington would be willing to respond very strongly if it thinks that the assad government potentially used chemical weapons let's hear what he had to say we now see plans for the syrian regime to resume offensive military activities. obviously. the possibility that it may use chemical weapons again if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly now

interestingly enough around the same time as john bolton statement the u.s.s. the solomons was deployed to the persian gulf and according to the russian defense ministry this is a destroyer class ship armed with cruise missiles and the ministry also claims that the u.s. the u.k. and france might be prepared for a strike there now it profitless what is the situation that at the moment who controls well it's the last terrorist stronghold in syria after the syrian government's victory in and around damascus they cut a peace deal where saving thousands of civilian lives but the trade off was safe passage for the remaining terrorists in the area they were sent in buses to live now for terrorist groups now control that area the most. powerful being. formally known as ties to al-qaeda and the others are jaish al islam and. now they're not exactly unified they started warring putting thousands of civilians in danger there's already reports regularly coming out of the area of beheadings

caging people and even using people as human shields and other reports are suggesting that some of these groups are gathering for a final push against government areas hoping to stage both a chemical attack and to gain support from the west now the situation is made even more fragile because this in this specific area was deemed a deescalation zone after negotiations between russia turkey and iran so with these reports pointing to western intervention the reorganization of terrorist groups it's hard to see how any. deescalation would happen any time soon. of a british police officer slapping a full two year old girl during the arrests the images spread online and added a divided public opinion just a warning the video does contain scenes of violence. that you're.

too right. police say they responded to a disturbance involving a youth fighting and in attempting to get the girl to control a male officer struck the teenager in the face while they claim this was in response to her trying to grab a taser and police radio the girl at a fifteen year old a fifty two year old woman was arrested on suspicion of assault the two officers involved had to receive medical treatment for bites and cuts here's just some of the reaction there's been to the controversial incident why would a fully grown man police officer need to palm strike a fourteen year old girl the video shows nothing more than police brutality agent

john donne no excuses for resisting arrest there's no deserved or not about it he used adequate force to protect himself and detain the suspect the open palm head was to disorientate her so they could get her arms she was being very violent in my opinion and that force was very necessary the officers in question need sacking police chiefs have justified the officer's actions they've said the video does not give a full picture of the situation early on r.t. former british police inspector peter kirk and social justice campaigner george barda debated the incident. clearly to many people like myself it seems that there must have been a better way of dealing with that situation than bashing that go in the head in bashing a head into a metal shutter to grown place officers can find a way of restraining a fourteen year old go back to them i'll tell you what you say tell us i just tell us if that's why this is this is wise and tell us your the police officer you tell me the only alternatives available to the officer that i could see were allowed to

keep a name and snatching his taser and radio which wasn't very well take it to the ground and you've been moaning about every place officer on the floor you all go on their own and if the officers use of force isn't right then he would be prosecuted all disciplined for it that act of bashing that was bashing that girl in the head and i do think it makes a difference that she was a forty year ago if she was a you know six foot called man i think would be a different situation in terms of your place again i think if the police aren't trained to deal with fourteen year old girls that are being violent in ways that don't require them to bash them in their heads into metal metal shutters since any police officer uses any force whatsoever it's described as police brutality which it isn't you also keep saying for a girl like that has any relevance fourteen year old girls can calls are just like anybody else in telling me that two grown police officers two grown police officers with four limbs to deal with on one person they can't restrain those four limbs and

and the body without bashing the head into mental chatter and to go back to a point i made before and i don't for you this wasn't about using a hate to a man you should use or have talked about. this is about recognizing that if the police can respond to a video like that with with pure defensiveness i think the problems are only going to get worse between sections of the public that already have a lot of doubts about the police black clothes matter in the us for instance it's not as if the police haven't been brutalizing people for many years it's that people now have smartphones and can record it would be better off supporting the police in trying to keep order and questioning why fourteen year old girls have brawling in the street with the children of that age instead of questioning the actions of the police doing their best to deal with that situation. well let's set for myself in the team. will be with you in thirty five minutes for the latest global news updates.

politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to try to be for us as a white woman for three of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. city.

but i am not fond of the film enough that it can get up early now how does it let on thousand people point by. wanting you to leave you with it if you have even pointed found that out in me. plus is that going to be plus to people whom i didn't. know but i thought it might have been my little bit of a wonder from about a little bit of traffic but out of money going to drive much of the way for tomorrow not to get there but it. this is london is slightly blue. some forces of the. perceived. differently will both of.

them. are. welcome to a part of the iranian nuclear deal once branded as a major achievement of american diplomacy has now become the poster child for the absence of a dull trans decision to remove not only reopens a major international problem but it also calls into question the very means of solving it with betrayed adversaries befuddled how should the world navigate its way. for for well to discuss that i'm now in joined by jarrett blanc senior fellow

at the carnegie endowment for international peace and formerly a u.s. state department chords in a very very raw new claim from mentation mr blank it's so good to talk to you thank you very much for finding time for us thank you now i'm sure you are greatly disappointed by president terms decision to walk walk away from the j.c.b. zero eight but hopefully there is still some room for damage control how much of it do you believe can still be salvaged well i suppose you could call damage control there from the u.s. perspective no good outcomes here one possibility is that the path that we're currently on the successful and that's that immediately after president trumps announcement president rouhani said ok we're going to stay in the deal for a little while and give time for the other participants mainly the three european countries to see what they can offer us to make it worth our while to stay in long term that could succeed it would be good from the perspective that would keep her on the nuclear program under control and under inspection but it would leave the

united states very isolated and europe for the position to confront other problematic iranian policies alternatively those negotiations might fail which would lead to a resumption of industrial scale enrichment and a serious serious problem for the region in the world now trump is obviously in violation of the american obligations but to some extent he's choosing his word because last winter he gave the europeans what looked like an ultimatum that he was going to do it on last the transatlantic could it gree on sound ways of shoring up the deal and i gather from your article is that the talks which began in january were progressing fairly well what do you think may have happened to upset all about progress well i think it's a combination of a lack of sincerity on president trump's part he wasn't really looking to come to an agreement with our allies he was looking to. act on his and in the story his predecessor barack obama. and also the total chaos and dysfunction in this

administration so the president gave his ultimatum senior officials worked on negotiations with the europeans i don't think there was any process to brief the president on the progress and so you know he heard about it from president mccrone and from chancellor merkel but but had not been buying into the decisions made along the way as you pointed out in one of your articles they were a number of things that trump could have done he could have extended the sanctions waiver to allow a little bit more time for the talks and yet he decided to end it abruptly after all those meetings cordell meetings with president mccrone and chancellor merkel to the russians that looked kind of through a do you think he was trying to make some point to some some nasa edge to the europeans or is it just mr trump being who he is you know it's hard to know if he was trying to send

a message but certainly after all the bonhomie of the mccrone meeting after the supposedly improved atmosphere in the merkel meeting and then he actually treated his intention to make this announcement and sort of telegraphed where it was going while foreign secretary boris johnson was actually in washington trying to convince vice president pence and the secretary of state to continue the negotiations it whether or not he was intending to be rude whether he was trying to send a message this clearly isn't the way allies behave toward one another the russians are often accused of and into taking all sorts of conspiracy theories and i personally think that's a cultural thing rather than political because we enjoy it counter-intuitive explanations and one such conspiracy theory that's been. stalking me as a vice preparing for this program is a thought of whether or not iran is the main thing here do you really think that. the major thing here asked me. sas is this fear of iran's potential nuclear

program oh absolutely not if the concern were ron's nuclear program the solution was the j c p u. if anything the pulling out of the running the risk that iran will restart industrial scale enrichment that raises the possibility of increased conflict across the board so if you want to conflict with iran this is the way to go this is obviously not about trying to contain iran's nuclear ambitions but also that what i think this is really about is barack obama president trump is trying to tear down the accomplishments of his predecessor i think it's pretty clear from his public remarks that he does not understand what was in the g. c.p.u. a or what is in the g. c.p.o. a and it doesn't really matter to him he doesn't have a policy objective he just wants to disparage barack obama and what about the so-called european allies because. there are some many issues involved i mean the

the fate of the european. exemptions from tariffs on steel and aluminum is still very much up in the air mr trump is supposed to make his decision until june first now there is a threat of. secondary sanctions we are talking about very very large chunk of the economy do you think all these economic issues and i'm trying to phrase it very carefully not to be accused of russian bias but still do you think these economic issues are going to be featured in the political discussions on the run sure i mean the first thing you need to say about this is that from your from europe's perspective iran does not matter economically so whatever decisions you're going to be national security could decisions and political decisions if they want iran to stay in the j.c. peel away they're going to have to offer some additional economic benefits but that's not because europe is you know deeply in amort of the possibility of. with iran i do think though to your questions your broader question europe is perceiving

all of these things as a piece of the steel and aluminum tariffs the recent sanctions on russia the resumption of sanctions on iran i think you see the united states disregarding the needs and interests of its allies and europe and other allies are going to have to look at this and decide how to respond in order to protect their own console and yet mr blank you suggested before that in the event of troops pull out your of will likely side with the united states even if it blames the current administration for ruining this deal and if it does i think the european leaders will essentially have to accept that their level of credibility is the same as trump is that they are moral equals and i personally don't think there's much trouble on that side of as far as the u.k. is concerned but when it comes to germany when it comes to france. do you think they can afford it from a moral point of view do you think chancellor merkel for one can bring herself to

be seen as standing shoulder to shoulder with trump on that well first of all i think that's a little bit unfair trump is the trump is the actor he is the decision maker in this terrible decision the european leaders are now stuck with a series of very uncomfortable dilemmas that they will need to resolve but but they're not the ones who created this disaster what i wrote though was that if iran were to were to respond to our violation with a violation of their own i'm quite sure that europe will side with the united states if you have the u.s. out of out of out of compliance in iran out of compliance then europe will side with us even if we were the if it's our fault if iran manages to stay in compliance i think europe is in a much more difficult situation and the possibility that they will try to strike a additional bargain with iran to provide some replacement economic benefits is real but i think the question here is not only striking additional. concessions for iran but also negotiating that with the united states because i'm i'm pretty sure

you're heard a number of officials in the trauma administrations directly almost ordering european companies german companies to get out of iran to seize business operations there immediately. that hardly seems to be building bridge that you employ a bit with the allies but putting that aside do you think the united states needs to be taught a lesson here that's essentially the question i'm trying to ask you do you think the european union needs to take a moral stance in this on this particular issue to show the united states the trumpet ministration and in this example that this is not ok to conduct international politics policies like that i mean american woman american former official i'm not going to call on europe or anyone else to teach the united states a lesson i think europe has got a very very hard set of decisions to make where they'll need to decide they need to weigh problems in the transatlantic relationship against their real concerns their national security concerns about the resumption of the iranian unconstrained

nuclear program and i'm sympathetic to how difficult this decisions are going to be as i started out by saying from the u.s. perspective there are only bad answers here either you've got europe essentially isolating us because they find a way to save the deal or you've got europe family to save the deal and return to iran returning to unconstrained arrangement which is a huge problem for us for europe and for the world but hold on mr blank you may have forgotten but it was the administration you worked for the obama administration which was very proud of forging the so-called european consensus on sanctions against russia back in two thousand and fourteen and the rationale back down was that. russia in your eyes violated certain norms of behavior and needed to be signed to signal that this is not the way you can do. to yourself on the international arena now we now have the united states which clearly

violated its obligations that reach is involved in behavior that you clearly disapprove of you made it very clear throughout this program which also leads to an increase in confrontation in the middle east should the united states be sent a similar signal that this is not the kind of behavior that. its european allies welcome on the international arena. leaders around the world including from our closest allies have condemned this decision and the very fact that europe has now shifted from negotiating with the united states to negotiating with iran is a strong rebuke to the decision that president trump made i would i describe president obama's leadership on sanctions with iran with russia with other countries a little bit differently from what you did i don't think it's a question about germany making a moral stand or a value judgment what i would say is that we were able to convince countries around

the world that on a variety of problems we had a plan and a way forward and that if countries were willing to suffer a certain amount of economic dislocation in the short term we can solve real problems and so in the iran case we were able to convince the government of russia china india as well as our closest allies to stick with us and we got to the g.c. . and some of russia's policies we were able to convince as you say germany and other european countries to suffer some real economic harm because they thought we had a plan i think the problem now is that the united states is proving that we cannot be trusted with this tool and so the chances of getting even our closest allies let alone a nontraditional partners like russia like china decide with us i think they're they're much much reduced i don't know if you heard this but chancellor merkel said the other day that you're of can no longer rely on the united states in order to protect itself and i would argue that the more pressing. question right now is whether you're of can.
