the most. number of people. protesters clashing in germany for a second and the rest was fueled by the stopping. of a fresh lead in the trump russia collusion investigation. after the attorney of trump's former lawyer. claimed any evidence of any illicit was. also ahead of general electric. gang related crime taking place in so-called areas here on the program. right now we're driving to the southern part of
4:01 am
stockholm swedish capital to one of the areas is called by police as vulnerable area or especially vulnerable area or risk area the first. welcome to the program here on the international you latest worldwide news headlines for tuesday thanks for joining us. some three thousand and three and the probe activists have clashed over two days in the german city of candidates leaving at least well a large number of people injured by the unrest was prompted by the arrest of an iraqi at the syrian following the stopping of a man on sunday protestors were hurling objects and pushing around the police. was
4:02 am
. this a cross live now to what is pretty bitter all of our following developments in that city surprising pictures there peter talk us through the on around us. hello rory yes very different scenes here on tuesday morning than we saw on monday evening if we come over here just to my left the iconic statue the iconic head of coal marks that kim that says so famed for this was the rallying point of that demonstration that took place on monday evening this was where we saw the the pushing the shoving the some pyrotechnics were thrown and we saw some people that were wounded by that some literal blood on the streets here of him that is that
4:03 am
have been seen and this all came about because of what happened just over to my room right here you'll be able to see a small shrine a small vigil still taking place at the spot where a thirty five year old man will stand today in the early hours of sunday morning this was following the the city festival here in a big city wide celebration it was taking place now a twenty two year old a rocky man and a twenty three year old syrian a current lee in custody in connection with that death we also understand some other people who were involved in that fight have are still in hospital receiving treatment now what this has done is it's really brought to the surface the tensions that have existed in germany since twenty fifteen and the muscle rifle of of people . refugees and migrants into the country the fact that they see the two main
4:04 am
suspects in this killing two people from the middle east has certainly inflame tensions in fact what we saw on monday evening wasn't so much. the demonstrations as it was the exact juxtaposition of the far right in the far left here in germany there were. well face offs between those demonstrators those that came out to say they were in support of the family of the man that was killed in that came out to say that they didn't want to see this type of labeling of refugees as we should be heard from the government here in germany was chancellor angela merkel saying that she would not tolerate what she called a vigilante justice of course on sunday what we saw was a group of people including far right football hooligans marauding through this part of town they were apparently on the lookout for anybody who looked like they may have been
4:05 am
a refugee all migrant. so the chance of the saying that she doesn't want to see this this is become really the epicenter of that split between the left in the right between those that believe that refugees should be welcomed here and those that say that they're trying to defend their jhoom in this almost certainly an ongoing situation here in kimmitt so it's not a particularly pleasant situation we were here in the early hours of the morning taking some pictures and taking the. gauging the atmosphere and certainly it was one where people were. understandably concerned about what would come next. all right. thank you we spoke with political analyst. who says that a public anger over migration poses a real threat. well we can see that the tensions grow higher and higher in respect to the migration use use and the related security issues and the
4:06 am
frustration among certain parts of the population grows as it seemingly is not possible with an existing security system also the judicial system to probably take care of the crowing challenges becomes a real threat that citizens who are already really frustrated and aggressive take to the streets and. try to punish. people who look as if they were refugees or migrants and attack them. hopes of a fresh lead in the trump russia collusion probe have been dashed that's after the attorney for the us president's former lawyer backpedaled on his earlier claims now says his client has no proof of any illicit connections reporting in new york.
4:07 am
the attorney representing trump's lawyer michael cohen has been going around the mainstream media indicating that he's getting ready to release a bombshell about trump russia collusion now the press has been salivating like a hungry hound anxious to get their hands on the smoking gun the trump russia probe has been waiting for 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 tell the special counsel all that he knows davis isn't just speaking in generalities he said he had information about the d.n.c. being hacked he also said he had information about the now infamous meeting between donald trump jr and two russian nationals supposedly about digging up information about hillary clinton now he says he's willing to share this information with the special counselor except now he's backtracking he says it's all a big misspeak i should have been more clear including with you that i could not
4:08 am
independently confirm what happened i regret my ira now the attorney for michael cohen isn't just retracting his own words he seems to be throwing cold water on something that c.n.n. treated like a breaking news explosion sources with knowledge tell myself and call that michael cohen claims then candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june twenty sixth meeting in trump tower crucially these sources tell us that cohen is willing to make that assertion to the special counsel robert mohler the reporting of this story got mixed up so michael cohen does not have information that president trump knew about the from terror meeting with the russians beforehand or you know there's no c.n.n. stands by its report why let the truth get in the way of a good story but for donald trump who's been screaming the f word for months that word is fake by the way this fits his narrative perfectly michael cohen's.
4:09 am
clarified the record saying his client does not know if president trump knew about the trump tower meeting out of which came nothing the answer is that i did not know about the meeting just another phony story by the fake news media so why is this such a big deal well if the story had panned out it would have meant that finally bob muller had some significant evidence it's been over a year and a half since the special counsel has been sent out to investigate issues related to trump and russia collusion so far he has uncovered some foul play from some former trump associates but nothing related to russia it looks like michael collins lawyer had everyone convinced that finally there would be some real evidence surfacing but alas it looks like we got faked out again still no evidence back to square one but it looks like the investigation has no sign of stopping. r.t. new york. a us presidential candidate and also an award winning a war correspondent also one of trump's former advisers the u.k.
4:10 am
opposition leader and even a rock star they may not appear to have much in common but according to one bloke they hold supporters of so called assad as a. down off explains. labeling people as in fashion has been for the past couple of years in fact populist mainstream deplorable or when it comes to syria and a scientist like a sadist to but it also supports the syrian president at least that seems to be the logic behind an index of names recently claude together i chose primarily this term rather than the narrower term pro our side because some of the public figures in this list explicitly denied being pro assad but still persistently repeat coraline's of regime propaganda narratives steve bannon and glenn greenwald boris johnson norm chomsky let's say the chances of coming across any other list banding these people together are slim you published an article full of lies because you're
4:11 am
too lazy and or malicious to care that you're doing it i never defended the assad regime in my life this is astonishing how many useful directory of people defending this sudra sheen what an absolute joke in fact the author was quite meticulous coming up with a ten point quote unquote scale of a side ism and having read through those i figured maybe i should offer my amble assistance in completing this list as by no means does it look finished take this point implying the west has somehow supported al nusra or isis i think we're backing people we have no idea who they are the rebels we call of the rebels the patriotic rebels we have no idea lot of people think you know that they are isis how about expanding it with the whole staff of the us state department and they denied entry to the leader of the white helmets over security concerns and after all being mean to them is a capital offense to any individual in any group. suspected of.
4:12 am
ties or relations with extremist groups or was that we had believed to be a security threat to united states we would act accordingly but as for those who are already on. interviewed a couple of them document is just ridiculous in many ways but it's also deeply worrying and concerning avert it is part of a witch hunt against people who don't accept the government line on military intervention in the middle east supporters based on no facts whatsoever. the early . takes no account whatsoever of my actual views on. what we're looking at here just what this black list is something published by someone who we had never heard of before totally obscure figure this is just like comical level of research and it's being promoted by the same people who have been not only promoting western
4:13 am
intervention in syria but who have been dedicated for the past two years to attacking and smearing anyone who gets in their way the author of the list was a bit of a nobody before giving man birth to his catalogue but as its popularity swells let the public shaming commence. with elections looming in sweden right wing support is gaining momentum that some but a spate of incidents in swedish cities have gangs setting cars on fire almost two thousand cars have been torched across the country since january with a record reached this month when over one hundred cars were burned all vandalized in just a few hours. before but most of the cost of the question has to be. one of the back were you doing what
4:14 am
do you think you are born or you destroyed the whole area of the neighborhood with the children on their way to preschool you have to see the cards are going to be hard response from the side. any of us who should autism or if an option i visited one such trouble district with a local drug bust. or. was. there something or was the hollowness one of this noble souls or were god. right now we're driving to the southern part of stockholm in the swedish capital to one of the areas called by police as found the rebel area or especially vulnerable area or risk area how the prefer to lead but in the media very often they call these neighborhoods right now around sixty one of them officially listed by police
4:15 am
as no go so and he with me is still a swedish journalist chang freak thank you so much for being my guy tonight. no go zone in sweden seriously of course you can go dar. you will have problem if you go to with the camera or if your police. for years swedish vulnerable areas have been grabbing headlines over she teen in car burnings the latter has nearly doubled every ten years why do they burn the cards and i think it's like to show police that there were called for all of the police to go. lots of people are going though because you know if you could walk if you have a parking lot with what the cost of or open one coral fire of course it will spread to the next door an extra. just a common thing that people leave those areas they move there so soon as they make
4:16 am
some more money they move away immediately definitely they don't want to keep still go with the school here for the free. part but discussion is a true one. and there's. just some politician understeer you give out for example a social democrat. he called it no it's a go go so you know so you were. hollered i used to live down there every said with the police never figure out why they got out the day out of course. punctured a police car so they had to call for what you call it. a truck to get the way the police got when it was start to prove it's a go go so known for high criminality rate theories have also a reputation for drug trade. terrorists place where it's a lot of drugs. people love you kill it the religious go out there are.
4:17 am
people standing here in the us on the line even if you are blind you will see what they were dealing drugs it's not like they are hiding it that the people who have lost their way over to i don't violent that it would like to. know the told not to be in jail you know both of you ever. give me money no money ok but was that did you shoot me than you may know. but what we've seen across sweden's vulnerable areas looked quite tense just like the country's prime minister has described although the authorities never agreed many tend to blame the massive number of immigrants for the situation. people think that it's related to his two thousand and fifteen immigration crisis with no this is because of immigration we have twenty years ago a lot of these people are criminal or second generation immigrants the parents came
4:18 am
through if you want to be a bit dramatic you could say that the worst is still ahead of us. some locals dubbed the troubled areas no go zones but police claim no such areas exist preferring to call them vulnerable areas or characterized by high crime rates and social exclusion we spoke to a journey up over social scientist he says economic hardship among migrants is at the root of the problem. well you understand that look at how a little bit about it because it does go to what we have already set over to. my grounds to get into the labor markets also that's that's a big problem here. in that we can you know which. political. party is the first time he story. from being social democrats around and getting into very very unhappy right new york i'm not for
4:19 am
4:20 am
so when one of the first century. or some want. to write for us has a lot of. people. interested in the. bank should. good of you to join us today ridiculous misinformation that's what the u.s. led coalition in syria has branded a report on a website called that article in a syrian refugee camp was however simply quoting the russian foreign ministry if i
4:21 am
with time in office american to take a close look at the accuracy of the claims in question. purnell sean ryan spokesman for operation here at resolve the u.s. led coalition against myself said that we were pushing quote ridiculous information after reading one of the articles of syria to be distracted by ridiculous misinformation from r.t. the coalition is focused on defeat isis mission and we continue to work with for to secure the el temps region in southern syria the article in question was in an op ed that a quote from the russian ministry of foreign affairs who asserted that i still had infiltrated work on refugee camp in syria and that the us government was fully aware of it which claimed as the coalition support to the misinformation about the presence of feisal in the camp or that the u.s. was aware of it the group on refugee camp is located in the southwestern all done such region in syria in an area controlled by the international coalition it's one of the largest refugee camps in syria hosting tens of thousands of refugees and
4:22 am
islamic state infiltration is well documented the last un security council report braced fears over potential faisel plots from inside the camp densely populated ruben camp in southern syrian arab republic contains some eighty thousand internally displaced persons including families of eisold fighters a situation which member states fear might generate a new eisel cells and group one camp has been hit by at least four terrorist attacks over the past three years the islamic state has claimed three of them in fact the ice will threat once prompted the jordanian government to close its board near the camp and concern over possible infiltration is one of the reasons that jordan has cited for being its borders closed syrian refugees. there are some people or isis people with inside the camp. they. have been for them.
4:23 am
trying to control and to create some of sims inside the kim when n.b.c.'s. sought to fill the camp for a story they were told it would be too dangerous because of the presence of islamic state fighters safe so not horrid least if it's meant to be but the jordanian military pilot who took us in wouldn't fly over it and the isis fighters these people fled from are inside it so the presence of ice on the camp hasn't been a secret washington stated goal in syria is the defeat of islamic state terrorists so it's hard to believe that their presence in an area controlled by the international coalition would go undetected if the u.s. military isn't aware of the issue ortiz is more than ready to provide open source information party has reached out operation here at resolve to find out what part of the article was misinformation but we've yet to hear from them that's international would like to know what part of this article was ridiculous misinformation if there were no ice or fighters in the area what is the mission of
4:24 am
the us military base in the region given the stated goal of all us operations is the defeat of isis we look forward to your answer. the un says that military officials and me in march should be prosecuted for genocide using them of the greatest crimes against rohingya muslims a minority group which numbered around a million at the start of twenty seventeen are not regarded as citizens in the southeast asian country both human rights violations rape gang rape sexual slavery forced nudity and mutilation the greatest crimes under international law we didn't . cooperation from the myanmar government we are deeply disappointed that state concert down through san suu kyi has not used to position or her moral authority just prevent or condemn the unfolding events in that kind state over the years songs on some countries de facto leader has repeatedly denied
4:25 am
any ethnic cleansing taking place she also blocked the u.n. fact finding mission from accessing the area in twenty seventeen despite that she's been seen as something of a hero in the west she previously won a nobel peace prize and a u.s. congressional gold medal hollywood even made a life story into a film and top world leaders called her an inspiration power of your example which is inspiration to people all around the world including myself a fearless champion of human rights and democracy your example your perseverance and your beliefs is a huge inspiration to people across britain and people around the world. clearly you will be playing a key role in your country's future for many years to come thank you for your inspiring message. we spoke with. the head of the u.n. fact finding mission in me and who believes that the country's leader has ignored the atrocities in the region when you used ethnic cleansing which i think is
4:26 am
a little extreme i don't think there's ethnic cleansing going on i think ethnic cleansing is too strong an expression to use what's happening at the state council or. we have been able to do more than what she has done. he was clearly dead of her responsibilities and we were just a disappointment that she didn't use moral authority. to do something about this either to stop. policies that needed to be there to address the u.n. that considers the road the most persecuted minority in the world and called the situation a human rights catastrophe as the result of military offensives against the minority at least three hundred ninety two villages have been destroyed and thousands killed the u.n.
4:27 am
also stresses cases of women being gang raped and children assaulted i'm not a man again says the atrocities are a consequence of systematic oppression. this is a tragedy that was just waiting to happen and therefore the fact that we've assembled. clearly shows a gradual build up. of discriminatory policies against a very specific community there. and therefore. this mud have reached a high point it has been a problematic situation. because. it was just. it was just only time. into this. horrific tragedy thanks for sharing your time with us here at r.t. international we do come to life from moscow we are back in half now with.
