i. think. the french president sparks backlash online is video emerges of him talking to a group of migrant some of whom claim they've been living illegally in the country for years. sweden's ruling social democrat suffer their worst election result in a century while the insurgents sweden democrats make a major gains with their hard line anti immigration platform. and despite iraq declaring itself a free from islamic state almost a year ago we report on how the terror group remains active across large swathes of the country. finally time straight away and my saddam has been lying on the ground

because i knew the murderous told us they were from the islamic state in iraq my brother was killed after he was kidnapped at a fake checkpoint run by terrorists. who are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our international launch on thomas glad to have you with us. our france's president has come in for a barrage of criticism online after footage emerged of him talking to a group of apparently undocumented migrants here's the exchange.

pretty embarrassing that video there for president macron as he saw in the video a man claims that he's from algeria and he's been on holiday in france for can you believe it. is that mr mack on a little bit surprised when he heard that but just so the system regulated documented so you can be in france probably in the man says yes i'm going to but the reaction on twitter has been absolutely outrage that that was the president's only reaction to a man who's just essentially told them that he's been undocumented in this country for eight years others went as far as saying perhaps president had even disrespected france's own rules take a look at some of the reaction on twitter attention this is not a parody that is the president of our republic hey mr mccraw thanks a lot mr mccraw we are undocumented we love you so much when the most powerful man

in france looks the other way when there is an obvious breach of law he makes fools of the whole country. should be appalled i don't specifically because this problem did not. well right at the very end of the video it does seem as if the man is trying to attract some of his statement but doesn't wait very long and he hastily moves along very aware i'm sure that the cameras are on him and that encounter was being filmed and surely going to be disseminated like it was across social media and this of course immigration is a sore subject here in france recently the french government has introduced its no new migration bill where it's trying to make it more difficult for people to apply for asylum and migration status here in france and also trying to make it much more efficient to deport undocumented illegal migrants like that man suggested he was at the very beginning of the video so what mark probably didn't want is to come face

to face for somebody who's actually saying i'm an illegal migrant and i've been in your country for eight years eighteen months and that of course was under the tenure of mr macklin himself and just hours before that immigration was something that mark owen had been talking talking about with the german chancellor angela merkel because it is expected to be one of the big battlegrounds ahead of next year's parliament now while mrs merkel has often been happy to pose for photos and videos of migrant in this open the arms if germany to many migrants in the past mr mack on is probably not feeling exactly the same in heartwarming about that encounter because as i said it is a big battleground ahead of next year's new parliamentary elections and for many might be feeling that this video could play into the hands of his opponents more than he would actually like. the right wing nationalist sweden democrats party has

one of the largest ever share of a general election vote again the backing of over seventeen percent of the electorate in a poll dominated. by concerns over immigration the party's leader declared his movement the true victors. you will be at the bells rather than me but i know who's won this election is this weekend democrats that's how it is we are strengthening our pivotal position and increasing our seats in the swedish politicians we see that we are going to get incredible influence in the future and no one can take that away from us so democratic then the sweden democrats can never. anything that will help society be able to only increase division and hate when any case it was a disappointing night for the prime minister's ruling social democrats and claiming twenty eight percent of the vote it was their lowest it resulted in a century the swedish moderates were second with close to twenty percent with no clear winner the result likely means likely negotiations on forming

a governing coalition or he's more of an ocean reported for us from sweden in the run up to the election and told my colleague colin bray about the key drivers of the country shifted to the right. the mood was not easy i can even say it was quite depressive this what i felt after a tour in sweden for almost fourteen days people were telling me things are not like they used to be health care or justice system police even transportation i remember we had a rendezvous with one politician in modern more of the southern sweden and he was late for a full two minutes after his train was delayed and when he finally iraq it was like oh even trains don't run on time in this country anymore so of course it was a joke but with some big to truth that people were not quite happy with the happening in sweden but security was the biggest concern of course with cars burning throughout the country with gang shootings on the rise now we're driving to the southern part of stockholm to swedish capital to one of the areas called by

police as vulnerable area or especially vulnerable area or reask area how the refer to the few people who live. there believe it was either the violent that it was a part of to. move to the local do you know who would go over mafia give me money the woman who. was the gun you may know that but again bad things mostly happened in these vulnerable areas but this feeling of insecurity spread far beyond those songs and that's really what the sweden democrats were trying to capitalize on their making trying to make that the regling between immigration and growing over here they've talked a lot about violent crime during the a compelling and they blamed immigrants for all the problems in the country in years that it was considered for a taller in sweden as i'm over told to talk bad about immigration this is why

sweden democrats often and openly. were accused of been naughty or carry nasty ideas for this position. but i can say that there were many. more extreme groups much more extreme groups in sweden running for these three elections for example nordic resistance movement they present themselves actually like people are soldiers and they were hoping to get some votes during this campaign is well. i. don't know if there was definitely a very very good person or the german people that's not for. the free germany. they're against this we're against the masses move racism and so beleaguered to say that it looks like i mean that must be cause for the police to intervene and as you

say in such a renowned liberal country like sweden what would people there saying to you about well whether we're right in sweden democrats were wrong or right many people believed that immigrants are indeed to blame and that's what i felt while travelling across sweden this and immigration no particular entity no new repeat immigration sense this what we filmed in health and work sweden is not swedish anymore i mean this is still the change here used to be small little shop where you could buy hotdogs now it's sort of a short you never find any swedish dogs anymore but in a sense. this became you. know this is just here. all the signs are you know how big is your problem your org is oh no no no no we're going to let you room with me even if we do take

second actually to use you know i'm very sad that sweden is not a swedish country anymore it makes me want to cry i don't read. i only feel like crying right so as you can see not an easy time for sweden and as many people told me in the country it's not easy to make a right choice because i really like too much of everything and not clear who can actually fix this. call in bray earlier talked to a route from the sweden democrats party he gave us his thoughts on the election result but one group more then we did so in that. success. and also when it comes to the kingmaker position in his parliament and what about those perceptions that your party's just trying to put an acceptable face on some of the more extreme elements in swedish political society lumping it with far right

groups like alternative sweden or nordic resistance well that's left wing media trying to demonize parties like ours where we can say what we do know is that my party is not responsible for the chaos that sweden is in the with immigration and with all the problems we. have employees have been doing this for thirty maybe forty years and every election they come up with the same old so-called solutions to problems they themselves made in the same thing all over again what has never been tried in sweden is a less immigration one thing that's never been tried. the one thing we want to see is sweden zero immigration and to get people to move back to their home countries we can see. in iraq a spree of islamic state kidnappings and attacks have targeted security forces and civilians despite losing territory the militants are still active in many parts of the country and are now trying to grow the warfare we heard from the relatives of

some of those who lost their lives in the ongoing violence. that fuel says have the last full kit so far so controlled areas. the coalition to defeat isis has liberated very close to one hundred percent of the territory just recently held by these killers in iraq we have just absolutely decimated i suspect is absolutely obliterated isis in iraq. adam how many i don't how can the checkpoint and the six not have a militant school or did they manage to get out of the car the terrorists i didn't

ask why dump the cards or anything but they opened fire on them straightaway that i met my son and husband her lying on the ground before i knew it the murderous told us they were from the islamic state in iraq. that's the shot that caught our eye brother was killed after he was kidnapped at a fake checkpoint run by i saw terrorists out there i. mean a set aside i thought at the thought of this failed to warn us that the world was their interests and there was

a nice point that i was completely unaware of and capitally a lot of the terrorists killed by some hostile that about fifty to the security. will see that i will hours to get to the fight and even after they did that they didn't want to close to the car as if it was going to try to sell more idea i saw a terrorist demanded the release of some sunni women held in iraqi custody in exchange for my brother and others but the authorities abdicated responsibility for the negotiations and i found myself having to do the tools on my own current iraqi leaders all failures they keep making statements and giving conferences but they are not doing anything on the ground. or that on the i still has lost everything and that they no longer have the ability to control territories so what they're doing now is an attempt to send messages to the media trying to show them they still exist by conducting terrorist attacks

against innocent civilians those attempts are in fact pathetic and a sign of desperation like the. united states and national security adviser has declared the international criminal court has to be outright dangerous john bolton also claimed that the body lacks legitimacy and suggested it is used to limit washington's actions or brought the united states will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court. we will not cooperate with the i.c.c. we will provide no assistance to the i.c.c. and li certainly will not join the i.c.c. trumps national security advisor declared the i.c.c. illegitimate and announced that the us would henceforth be rejecting international

oversight to protect itself from war crimes investigations and promise to punish those that cooperate with these investigations will it appears that this it all started with the afghanistan case last year when the i.c.c. wanted to look into the situation starting with afghan government forces the taliban and the hakani network as well as a war crimes are allegedly war crimes committed by the us since two thousand and three in today's press release the white house referred to the pending investigation threatening more agreements to prohibit nations from surrendering u.s. citizens to the i.c.c. the banning sanctioning and prosecution of i.c.c. judges and further action in the un security council should the i.c.c. choose to move forward with the probe in the speech bolton spoke quite a bit about sovereignty which is interesting to say the very least given the history of how much the u.s. has value the sovereignty of other nations check it out do i think the united states is a threat to other nations sovereignty and the constitution yes no i don't think

we're a threat to anybody else to sovereignty i think i think it has been so important for the united states to appreciate the significance of a government that has the consent of its own people think we're very conscious of the importance of sovereignty we can't and don't attempt to control what other nations do and by the way this is coming from someone who has no regrets over the iraq invasion so that's also something to think about bolton also seemed to be justifying future acts of u.s. aggression saying that quote history has proven that the only deterrent to evil an atrocity is what f.d.r. once called the righteous might of the united states and its allies now he even attempted to lead. demised past acts of u.s. aggression using the examples of the military raid to kill osama bin ladin and recent airstrikes against the syrian government which both baucus iran and syria viewed as violations of national sovereignty bolton also gave many special shout outs to its quote friend and ally pledging to protect israel from international

troops as well saying that it's unacceptable to investigate the actions of such a quote liberal democratic nation and here's the icing on the cake bolton also announced the closure of the office of the palestinian liberation organization in d.c. amnesty international has already chimed in and has called on the u.s. to support not impede i.c.c. investigations saying quote resuming attacks against the court sends a dangerous signal that the us is hostile to human rights and the rule of law but for some important background the us signed it but never ratified the rowntree that established the i.c.c. so that definitely clears up a little bit well in spite of john bolton's professed respect for the sovereignty of other countries the venezuelan government plans to hold a march on tuesday to protest against alleged u.s. meddling in its affairs follows media reports that washington was working to topple president nicolas maduro which america has neither confirmed nor denied the u.s.

has only responded to the controversy by saying it would like to see a peaceful transition to democracy in venezuela. u.s. policy a preference for a peaceful orderly return to democracy and we news around the remains unchanged the united states government hears daily the concern so from the news or elements from all walks of life be the members of the ruling party the security services elements of civil society or from my mom the millions of citizens forced by the regime to flee abroad. the claims that the u.s. was attempting to orchestrate a coup in caracas were originally published in a new york times article citing officials on both sides it reported that meetings were held with rebellious venezuelan military figures before eventually being halted one israel's foreign minister has castigated the us over the allegations. venezuela reiterates his denouncement condemns the continuing aggressions that the us government has directly promoted against the constitutional president nicolas

maduro democratically elected and reelected by wide margins in may this year are going to analyst paul told us that america's alleged attempts to undermine are in keeping with the broader pattern of interference. the from the new york times rather. we here in venezuela i used to seeing quite frequently you look at the role of the us government there are the last twenty years of the venezuela it's been a case of meddling off the meddling of the meddling including yes. this is no surprise at all this revelation as long as president continues he's aggressive policy against caracas sanctions what he's imposed on the country which can bring a devastating impact not just on business waiter but also now in brazil and other neighboring countries as long as the trump administration continues to persecute the government and those who are looking to bring about progressive change in

minutes way then i can see a way in which their relations are seriously going to improve. the debate over sexism at the highest levels of attendance is continuing to rage following serena williams argument with the umpire during her defeat in the final of the u.s. open while many have rallied behind her angry at apparent double standards some have been driving her actions of mocking her tantrum on the courts take a look back at what happened.

i'm here fighting for women's rights and for women's equality and for all kinds of stuff in for me to say these and for to take a game it made me feel like it was a sexist remark i mean like how he's never seen a game from a man because i said. has been supporting us or in a way pointing out the double standards at work in tennis and several celebrities have also expressed their support for serena williams and praised her for standing up for women and women's tennis association is also throwing its weight behind the star. that believes that there should be no difference in the stand that it's

a stoner that's provided to the emotions expressed by a man versus women and is committed to working with the sparkling sure that all players that these are the same we don't believe that this was done last night. right women's rights advocate emory severson and social commentator anthony bryan logan joins us to discuss the fallout from the incident. i think she acted the way she did because she was first day to day she was losing a mate and people don't really realize a she already played a omeo soccer earlier in the year i think it was in march down in florida and she lost badly in his will so it's a sports you get first ration issue reacted in an emotional way that the good news a mist of light they i think they came afterwards to john do some damage control of a rope defect a she lost so i said now that saudis why you have is the greatest tennis player of all time this was not about her being frustrated at with losing

a game this was about a woman that they would tend to to literally box her in at every level and they have said things about her and she's been under attack as the greatest player of all time that it's unfortunate that they just mistreat her the way that they do you she had a first violation which was for coaching now if she can say date she didn't see to guy given to signal ok it is fine it was just a warning there was no penalty it was sick a violation came where she's on the record on the ground broke the racket you can't do that so at that point you have to first violation you should be kind of just train noise in easy times you see a.b. go in a do it too much else question you have to ask here is have these other guys that she made seen had a first violation second violation became sinew to act or did he say ok i got a calmed down now you're in did i can't go anymore and indication. the definition of coaching requires that he actually receive the communication which he did not she didn't see it and even her coach said that he did say and i say she's going to

say sorry i'm glad she didn't hear it so then there is why do you sort of violations because she didn't receive it so there's no need for the first with the second when people throw rackets all the time john john mccain row through racquets and carson everything else. and i was called to to warn him and ship he was vague or if he had passion he didn't receive warning and it was tolerated and so forth arena to be lambasted and for this wind to be thole and from her it's really unacceptable and it's really disgusting that there's been such a campaign against her and i'm really concerned that we have an issue even with the make night car caricature portraying her as some type of animal i'm really just confused as to why we were willing to accept that she's just that great without shimmies during this war her last march or early it's a naomi osaka so i mean was it a march that made her lose dad or did you just happen to square because he got this kind of avatar and having

a child well it's that she was not ready very well and this man she took play very well in the first match. where she also lost. time migron rallies have been held in germany after a twenty two year old man died shortly after a reportedly a reported street fight with migrants. and this comes hot on the heels of last week's on rest in the city of candidates and the division even seems to have reached at the top level of the country's security services with domestic intelligence ahead coming under fire for his latest comments on mob violence in kevin's you're of course one of the developer has. plenty of questions hitting the way. in the head of germany's internal intelligence service to be a file that's roughly the equivalent of m i five in the united kingdom or the f.b.i. in the united states no he made claims in an interview last week with a german newspaper the videos it was supposed to show that members of the migrant

demonstration groups are hunting down and attacking people in the city of candidates who looked for and all they thought were migrants he said video use could well have been faked and actually directly it could. the media of trying to manipulate public opinion by putting those videos out oversea strong claims made against the press already there they become even stronger when you look that chancellor angela merkel specifically cited these videos in her admonishment of the anti migrant demonstrators of the far right demonstrators in the city of camden and elsewhere across germany there's been a lot of calls for mr marson to produce some proof to back up his claims and fact members of the left party the social democrats and the greens here in germany call for a palm tree inquiry into the comments of mr marson and actually gone some of gone so far as to say that he should be stripped of his position and the s.p.d.

risking the government that mr marson be removed from office since he's using his agency says seventy to present only those who've been reporting about the horrible events in chemists and spreading this information and indeed he's clearly supporting the propaganda of the n.t. and events in general. mr martin's task is to expose the enemies of the constitution and his latest comments will result in the exact opposite if he fails to immediately provide proof for his clients that's why we have the s.p.d. have decided to call a parliamentary hearing next week so that mr marston has the opportunity to back up his assertions german interior minister. mr marson is direct boss says he still has faith in him as head of the however he must produce some proof to back up those claims that he made and it's certainly said to be a busy week it would seem that your mass and he's also facing accusations that he handed off intelligence assessments into alternative for germany the f.t.

. secret meetings with them and is held some kind of bias towards them well it deny that they were handed any documents or any secret meetings took place but there is still a lot of people looking to mr marson asking questions about this incident as well as the interview he gave to build and those people want answers immediately. that doesn't smell the back of headlines well let's say in about thirty minutes and be with you.
