i. was. was. i. a second day of demonstrations in the german city of camden itself for a local stop to death and an incident involving people of quite various nationalities and similar consent even migrant integration rice and neighboring fronts we look at how the issue is being handled in western europe. also the saudis teddy for donald trump's foreman lawyer tracks on his earlier groundbreaking claim about the information his client provides to provide to prove trump russia collusion. and un investigators say top military officials in my ma should be prosecuted to the genocide and crimes against humanity directed towards workmanship muslim's.

life for most go you're watching international welcome to the program the top story german chancellor angela merkel has said vigilante justice will not be tolerated off to hundreds took part in demonstrations in the german city of candidates both right and left wing activists gathered for a second consecutive day after a local was stabbed to death in an incident involving people of quote various nationalities several people were injured as the rally turned violent two men was taken into custody and held in suspicion of manslaughter according to the local prosecutor police have yet to release further details on the suspects all of the victims of sunday's violence protesters held bottles at place to try to disperse the crowds.

the the. reports on how this small case sparked a massive protest wave which reflects an overall trends across western europe well that crowd that we saw there of around eight hundred people including it said members of the far right football hooligan outfit marauding through central came it all was sparked following the stabbing to death of a thirty five year old man in the early hours of sunday morning two other people were seriously wounded in that incident a twenty two year old iraqi and a twenty three year old syrian man have been taken into custody following that and it prompted opposition figures to come out and say that this shows that integration in germany isn't working that the police are failing to keep people safe now since twenty fifteen germany has taken in over a million refugees and migrants and integration has been

a problematic issue the most recent proposal that was put forward which involved compulsory community service and also. also conscription into the military was recently dismissed by the chancellor. i don't want to bring today is compulsory military service i've consulted with military chiefs the i'll say that the profession of soldier is not what it used to be and has changed. but it's not just in germany the question over integration has been raised in france senior figure within the center right republican party has said that the current policies on integration aren't working and if things continue then european identity european civilization as he puts it as we know it could be at risk. how can we fail to realize that we have reached the limit as regards integration and that this must immigration of today poses

a cultural threat to european civilization over three years since the first refugees in migrants started to arrive in europe there's certainly no consensus and no catchall solution on how to integrate them into society political analyst rainer authoress believes such public protests are to be expected when the state fails to protect its citizens. well we can see that the tensions grow higher and higher in respect to the migration issues and the related security issues and the frustration among certain parts of the population grows as into the seemingly is not possible with existing security system also the judicial system to probably take care of the growing challenges that it becomes a real threat that citizens who are already really frustrated and oppressive

take to the streets and. try to punish. people who look as if they were refugees or migrants and attack them of course this would be a normal process that the situation deteriorates in that direction that. protesters also become violent in the streets they take security in their own hands and this is of course not a good solution for democracy and for. a law based state to. detain a fiddle transform a lawyer now says his clients cannot provide information to prove trump russia collusion in stark contrast to speculation caleb maupin reports from new york. now the attorney representing michael cohen has been going around the mainstream media in the united states saying that basically his client might have some big

information regarding allegations of trump russia collusion it's been hinted at that perhaps his client michael cohen knew about the alleged hacking of the democratic national committee it's also been hinted at that he knew some key detail about the meeting at trump tower on which the two russian nationals that met with donald trump jr and possibly discussed the dealing up of dirt on hillary clinton regardless this is what we've heard from the attorney representing michael cohen this is some of what he's been saying i can tell you that mr cohen has knowledge on certain subjects that should be of interest to the special counsel and is more than happy to toe the special counsel all that he knows is michael cohen have evidence of that. this is one thing i would like to do this morning above all which is it's not about evidence what he knows about mr trump's level of knowledge of the

hacking and attempted interference in our democracy. russian agents would be of interest to mr mower now following multiple big stories that have come out regarding these claims from the attorney we now hear the attorney representing michael cohen start to backtrack this is what are you saying more recently i should have been more clear including with you that i could not independently confirm what happened i regret my ira president trump has reacted to the backtracking from michael collins attorney on twitter he said the following michael cohen's attorney clarified the record saying his client does not know if the president knew anything about the trump tower meeting of which came nothing the answer is that i did not know about the meeting just another phony story by the fake news media now why. is this such a big deal in the first place well if this story had indeed been true it would be

significant evidence of trumped russia collusion which is the entire stated purpose of the bomb our investigation baumol or the special counsel was appointed for the purpose of investigating allegations that trumped colu did with russia during the twenty sixteen presidential election but after a year and a half of investigation no collusion has been discovered now we have seen charges against two former associates of donald trump but the charges had nothing to do with russia no evidence of any trumped russia collusion has been discovered so it appears that mainstream media which seem to report these statements as if they were breaking news and had a big evidence of a big amount of truth about a big discovery of trumped russia collusion well they're now backtracking and once again what they thought was big news about trump russia collusion has backfired and we're seeing backtracking from the claims it looks like there is still no evidence being produced regarding trump russia collusion and the special counsel investigation of bob muller continues after a year and

a half without having surfaced really anything. it seems that it's a medvedev that's come from the hands of trump himself. the to. was. was. i noticed the similarity between this flag that trump colored and this other one from russia it appears from may have been trying to color in the flag of russia at some point someone will notice that by coloring in a blue stripe into the red and white stripes of the u.s. flag today president trump was starting to create a russian flag now that's what i call the freud and sleep from color to blue stripes on his u.s.

flag we all know we don't have random white stripes but russia flag has red white blue stripes from subconscious trying to communicate we should listen. now to. go a. un investigators say top military officials in milan ma should be prosecuted to the genocide and crimes against humanity directed towards muslims that are a minority group in the southeast asian country who are not speed to citizens. the patterns of gross human rights violations and serious violations of international humanitarian law that is found amount to the greatest crimes under international law that's we found it would rape gang rape sexual slavery forced nudity and relation military forces in the predominantly buddhist country launched

a violent crackdown on revenge of muslims a year ago in response to rebel attacks on police posts the action forces more than seven hundred thousand people to flee the country the un considers it to be the world's fastest growing refugee crisis the global bodies reports concluded military needs were never justified burning down entire villages assaulting children gang raping women and killing indiscriminately chair of the u.n. fact finding mission. there were some and believes the atrocities are a consequence of the systematic and institutionalized oppression. it was just waiting to happen and therefore the fact that we assemble. clearly shows a gradual build up. of discriminatory policies against a very specific community there or yes. and therefore. this may

have reached a high point. a problematic situation. because so low that. it was just. it was only time that erupt into. this. horrific tragedy. the un report also blames the country's de facto leader aung sang suu kyi the not using her role of moral authority to stop the atrocities she's previously won and nobel peace prize along with the u.s. congressional gold medal and has been a darling of the western media about the last year she repeatedly denied any ethnic cleansing took place when you use terms like ethnic cleansing which i think is a little extreme it just plays into the hands of extremists and not a fact finding mission appointed by the united nations would not help help the

situation it would have created great cost hostility between the different communities do you ever worry that you will be remembered as the champion of human rights the nobel laureate who fail to stand up to ethnic cleansing in her own country no because i don't think that ethnic cleansing going on i think ethnic cleansing is too strong an expression to use for what's happening at the state cancer. we have been able to do more than what she has and. she was clearly derelict of her responsibilities and we were just a disappointment that she did. more authority. to do something about this either to stop or to stand. up policies that needed to be there to address. the syrian government says it's ready to recapture the last major

rebel stronghold of adlib damascus has been deploying additional forces to the front line of the enclave although it still says it's willing to piss you of course every conciliation however that idea was snapped by the key militant group controlling the area to rev al sharpton its leader warns other factions against talking to damascus. meanwhile the pentagon has denied the claim of the russian defense ministry that the u.s. is expanding its strike capabilities near syria however most cases it has intelligence that to how this and tending to stage a chemical attack which the west could use to justify action against the syrian

government a strike on cases eiter 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. more the missive warns that it's the white helmets pro rebel group that will be there first with cameras and tweets as they usually are whenever there were rumors of chemical attacks and we reached out to them for comment and as is also usual the u.s. and its power stabbed ready with guns drawn we now see plans for the syrian regime to resume offensive military activities in it with. we are obviously. about the possibility that it may use chemical weapons again

if the syrian regime uses chemical weapons we will respond very strongly it's getting very hot in the area america's just pulled up another guided missile cruiser packed with tomahawk missiles the weapon of choice when attacking syria also u.s. strategic bombers heavy duty stuff have just arrived in the neighborhood the russians also acting moving more and more ships to the mediterranean room it's a submarine stool and it's cruel dreadfully reminiscent of what happened last.

meal weeks before the alleged chemical incident in ghouta the incident that provoked a british friends and us missile barash well mia weeks before that the russians warned the rebels were preparing to stage a chemical attack now they're warning it will happen. which begs the question why oh why would ask who has almost won this war why would he launched a chemical attack and invite disaster now there is no value for syria or its allies in using chemical weapons against any of the terrorists syria is already winning syria has already won along with its allies along with russia and with iran and hezbollah they have already essentially defeated the tech feed the terrorist and still clean up time the other thing you've got is we have so many times been told that the organization for the prevented

prohibition of chemical warfare has emptied syria of all of its chemical weapons this happened a few years ago but we keep getting told syria is making chemical weapons still to come on. says europe may need to look elsewhere when it comes to security well tell you why after a short break. thank you howard. thank you. thank you.

joining me every first day on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then thank . god. thank you welcome back to the program now french president has set his plans for europe's defense speaking to the country's ambassador as he underlines the region

security can no longer rely so heavily on the u.s. . pre-commit europe can no longer rely solely on the united states for security to us today to take responsibility and guarantee european security and consequently european sovereignty mr michael went to outline a number of points to the united states such a very similar to cripes that the european union has with the united states and particularly the trumpet administration this things such as the trade wars that we've seen in recent months this is the high king of steel in alimony and tariffs with countries around the world also the fact that the trumpet ministration his withdrawal from the paris climate accord it's also withdrawn from the iranian nuclear deal earned of course there has been doubts from the trumpet ministration particularly from president trump himself over nato itself which is the security force bowings the us and europe now he's talked in the past saying that he thinks

the us is doing too much so all of these concerns of prompted mark can say we can't now rely on the u.s. security we have to do something about it ourselves well what is that well he's talked about this closer defense cooperation here in europe but he's also said that europe needs to look beyond its borders and to look to other countries such as russia in the feature. film for simply reinforce solidarity would imply revisiting the european architecture of difference in security by negotiating renewed dialogue on cybersecurity chemical weapons conventional weaponry territorial conflicts space security the protection of the protozoan sympatico with russia i want to launch exhaustive reflection with our european partners in a broad sense with russia but defense relationship with russia mr michael said depends on europe and russia finding a mutual agreement in progress when it comes to the midst of peace agreement on the continuing conflict. fraying so it seems that as the u.s.

continues to isolate itself from longstanding such as you european union that could be no paving the way to a new relationships with other countries to manage. political analyst in economic events thinks that nato may have to transform kitten tennille fractious what is changing now is first of all what donald trump has said during his political campaign that he thought that nader was obsolete i think you know the ripples of what donald trump center in his campaign and his position is micro is getting going on quite well with donald trump so i think he's testing this out on the american public don't forget that this is a very important for micro who is preparing the next european elections i don't think it means that it's going to be the end of nato but definitely do see that nato as an institution and dating back to nine hundred forty nine is cracking from different different places from the u.s.

that's what started off a number of you france is going into the next trip in the dark and so this could this could maybe be some sort of rethinking of what the defense of europe and the knives between the u.s. and europe would be. iran's taking legal action against the u.s. government say that almost trumps decision to reimpose sanctions that they may have sets both countries on a collision course. response to. a gracious. iran's filing with the international court of justice was an attempt to interfere with the sovereign rights of united states to take lethal action including the reimposition of sanctions which are necessary to protect our national security earlier this year donald trump pulled the u.s. out of the two thousand and fifteen nuclear pact between iran and a number of world powers and announced to do need last fall plans to restore

sanctions against iran they include restrictions on buying american currency as well as trading metals including precious ones the sanctions were met with resistance from washington's key allies including many european countries the even updated its blocking statutes to limit the impact of the sanctions on the interests of european companies during legitimate business in iran it came into a fax just over twenty days ago iranian political analyst slade moustapha chesham believes the u.s. is losing its key allies with its aggressive rhetoric. but the u.s. is trying hard in order to force to iran to comply with the u.s. demands the u.s. demands include harnessing and limiting iran's power components that iran's missile in this free and there is a regional influence and clout they have failed to you know stop. the growth of iran's power components now they are trying to you know pressure to iran to agree

to their terms through at least a dozen actions hostile actions in the area of economy but this time around this situation is completely different from what it was before the nuclear deal and now it is been isolated even though you're all peons as key partners and allies nato allies of the united states are standing up to the u.s. in order to diffuse the pressure on iran. to u.s. nationals in vietnam have been sentenced to fourteen years in prison ever an attempted case they were among twelve people sentenced all of them members of the professional national governments of which was declared a terrorist organization by the country's authorities back in january they will invent not mended more than four decades ago but apparently the struggle goes on.

the vietnam war one of the world's bloodiest conflicts and the american army's biggest defeat to ideologically opposed blocks in two decades of fighting came at a cost of fifty six thousand u.s. troops in a bid to overthrow the communist regime of north korea now but the casualties among civilians were much greater at least two million people died in the wall. after hopes of tightening democratic grip across the vietnamese state slipped away and up to one hundred forty one billion dollars was spent on military operations the us folded two had been exhausting rules at home and approved. in one thousand nine hundred seventy three thousands of antiwar protesters would later contribute to the end of u.s. military involvement and two years later the south surrendered with vietnam forced to unite under a socialist flag. however it would take years for vietnam to heal from the wounds

of the us campaign. napalm bombs and toxic herbicides left the country scarred. and its citizens suffering. fast forward to twenty eight and us finance relations have turned a new leaf. even prospering. however there are some people who can't let go of the past among them the provisional national government of the third republic of vietnam most of them share one thing in common they all supported or fought for the south vietnamese army and had to flee when the war ended in one nine hundred seventy five they dream of a regime they never had a chance to see. and they're proactive about sharing their agenda they have their own prime minister and even newspapers about they cause printed in japan malaysia and thailand recently they've caught the attention of more global audience is. the ministry of

a. public security should announce the organization of the provisional national government of vietnam as a terrorist organization. they plan to buy weapons in an attempt to carry out terror attacks but their plots were uncovered and they were arrested by the enemy security forces. twelve members were charged with subversion attempting to broadcast anti state messages described as a coup two of those behind it were american nationals as vietnamese descent. has been revealed they openly penned letters to the u.s. president with a even based in california it may be almost half a century since the end of the vietnam war but under the surface there are still rumbling with some still willing to fight for a cause they never saw come to fruition. soldiers and sailors of the russian pacific fleet have been put through that pay says during drills on the come chaka peninsula the war games were quiet had some targets up to

five hundred kilometers away here's a look at some of the highlights. while outside a global news round up for now for myself and the team hair it's hot hey thanks for watching and i'll be back in thirty minutes time. anyone else chose seems wrong. wrong just don't call. him you if you get to see power he still comes out to kill and in detroit equals

betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart weak choose to look for common ground. by going to one of the. many. i don't mean. joining us as you know. you not just i mean most. easy i mean. there's enough. just to get rid of. those was.
