supporter. in connection with allegations of the misuse of funds but he claims the politically motivated one hundred. of course this is a political police nothing whatsoever to do with the national police. arabia is in the media. attention should be redirected to. humanitarian crisis is being severely worsened by saudi.

school with hardly any. news headlines live from moscow this is international and a very warm welcome to. the french a left wing opposition leader. has denounced his country's government during a raid on his party's premises and the raid was officially conducted in connection with allegations of misuse of e.u. funds though. resistance by his supporters claimed it was old in fact politically motivated. babbit was was was was was was we are not traffickers we don't do anything like that outside the law how can we be treated like this one

hundred of us is against us this morning of course this is a political police nothing whatsoever to do with the national police well sean's home was also raided he streamed the operation live on facebook where he has more than one million followers. you could. be right. this is the leader of french left wing political parties only shown as police raided his home bombed officers arrived early in the morning and rifled through his belongings the leader. grandel social media. the rate life as offices the party headquarters and his home he to nurse the raids

politically motivated. should be he even went as far as pointing the blame squarely at president even if we. could. be privy on. mel and sean describe the raid as a coup de force saying though being used as a scare tactic against his party to intimidate them so why did the raids take place militia on a harsh critic of mcallen is accused of employing assistants in fake jobs while he was an m.e.p. in the european parliament a charge also leveled at another political rival marine le pen he's also being investigated over the expenditure of his presidential campaign against not going

austere he says the searches were based on trumped up evidence he's now calling for the offices are not going to be integrated alongside his new interior minister suggesting they had also. campaign expenditure although paying forth in the presidential election last year his party has been a thorn in my side france also miss breaking the organizes this involved in the trade union protests against forms and shown its militia is known as being a man of the people something called has struggled with. mel and sean has said his party will accomplish its goal accounts online in

a bit to clear its name. all see paris supporters of the left wing party chief came to protest what they call an attack on democracy . it is a political show folks it's an attempt to destabilize democratic opposition in our country i think we should take it very seriously it's great that so many people came here to show their support to do also the shock i think the whole country was shocked to learn this news on morning that. i learned the news and i saw it as an attack on our democracy so i thought i'm going to be here. i don't think it has anything to do was justice but this is rather driven by someone's very toxic and a healthy political motives. the french prime minister responded to the allegation of political motives saying that the public prosecutor had ordered the raid office on for lucian and that the country's justice system is independent elemental sean isn't the only opposition figure in france being investigated for the misuse of

e.u. funds and other. president of the national rally party she claims there's a witch hunt on against opposition figures like ourselves because. this is you ation is unacceptable this is great a. a violation of national principles and of our democracy i'm probably being tapped into reasons for months and now the left wing those in power have now see the entirety of alex changes context now it's documents of the team main opposition parties of france i find it extremely serious macro is completely you must understand that it has been elected very very few people is it doesn't have a lot of electoral basis and so it's like a fly to fly forward so you want to show you wants to to show responsibilities for instance today was nominated pointed a minister of the interior with only does that don't have any confidence in the

police is only a friend of a close friend of a member not cross we only blackmailed him saying if you don't appoint me i quit or quit or the government so it's a sign that he wants to to rule like a. lawsuit to rule with close friends and not with very professional people because he feels a very threatened by the way anger of the people and i think it would be. knows it will know a very bad which of discontent in this country. the u.s. secretary of state has just landed in turkey where he's meeting with the country's government to discuss the investigation into missing journalist. his previous stop with saudi arabia where he was assured by riyadh which is implicated in the case of cooperation in the probe. i made a commitment to. anyone. to any wrongdoing that may be counted

for that whether they are secure officer official they promised accountability for each of those persons they determine as a result of their investigation. it just serves accountability the saudis sighed again strongly denied any knowledge of what happened to her after he visited their embassy in istanbul yesterday a nine hour turkish led search operation was conducted at the embassy access was finally granted fifteen days after the journalist was last seen following the search took as president of the one said investigators were looking into the possibility that traces of toxic materials had been covered up by painting over them on the missing journalist was last seen entering it over two weeks ago the case has attracted intense global media scrutiny. what happened to missing journalist jamal cause shogi the disappearance of a saudi journalist the disappearance of jamal how should who killed jamal khashoggi

sniffing riders from all cars show meanwhile actor mark ruffalo widely known for his role as the whole superhero says the saudis deserve condemnation for something other than the house georgie case namely what he calls the atrocities committed against yemen every day and he's apparently not alone in trying to refocus the debate how do you think president should respond if it's proven that the saudis were behind his disappearance if not murder one of the strong things that we could do is not only stop military sales not only put sanctions on saudi arabia but most importantly get out of this terrible terrible war in yemen led by the saudis. the u.n. claims the situation in yemen is catastrophic warning that up to thirteen million people are facing starvation if the war doesn't end soon and that figure represents almost half of the entire yemeni population the u.n. has warned that we could see the worst famine in one hundred years with other aid

agencies also raising the alarm. the numbers are very hard to grapple with thirteen million people on the brink of famine is one that should be compared to the entire population of countries where almost eighteen million people. are. going human you cannot. get parents to know when they send their children to school whether they'll come home or whether the bombs will hit the school almost every aspect of it very nice of her going to affected by the. actors who would want to help. i met some children recently with open wounds on their legs that they can afford to treat me in honoring either for. not only eighty percent of the population this is a crisis that is entirely manmade and could have been avoided and could indeed be avoided if we saw some serious action from the parties to the conflicts and allies

in the saudi led coalition including the u.s. u.k. france germany and others on sunday an air raid hit many buses in the key yemeni port of killing seventeen civilians and injuring twenty that's according to the united nations who was the fighters accuse the saudi led coalition of carrying out the attack data has recently become the most violent frontline in the three year long war in the country the saudi government said it would investigate the reports of civilian deaths well let's take this a bit further here on the program joining me live now middle east affairs commentator risk to offer some insight and analysis on this story good to see you today ali do you think the concerns over too much media attention to the case not yemen justified. one of sort of they're not justified but you know this comes as no surprise the selectiveness if you would call of the american media outlets for example when it comes to the american media

the way they cover the israeli palestinian. issue where the you know shed light on what they call israeli casualties most shooting light on what the israelis are doing to palestinian the sets were just one example of the selective it t. in how american media covers the such events. to other cases was known to be an ally of the usa has many friends in congress we wrote in a washington post whereas when you were look at the war on yemen many people in america where there would be in the press or in congress the view that this war on the iman is somehow justified because it's part of the campaign to count to iran that is the argument which is made of course that argument is unacceptable but that is just the way. things are approached but i think it's also important to point out that because of what happened to cause you'll see because of this particular issue the western person over the past few days has been shedding light and lost not just

on the case but also on other saudi misbehavior if you would like such as the war on yemen as we heard from bernie sanders and what ali and i leave when you say where you know they are i'm sorry i don't say but when you say when you say that certain media outlets have been assessing some other forms of saudi behavior as we well know my pompei o the secretary of state he's just met with a saudi king he's later going to make meet with the turkish president must ask you do you think you can us can be an unbiased mediator of third party in this resolving this case obviously washington has huge an energy trade with riyadh. well you know when you talk about the u.s. i don't think you can say that the u.s. is one unified block especially with the trumpet ministration the trumpet ministration has made it clear that what concerns me most of all before anything else is money arms deals and getting that money and it intends to turn a blind eye to anything so in that perspective. i think the u.s.

would do anything possible to cover up. the saudi crown prince as long as he gives them the money but i think that at the same time you have another player in america if you would like to be at the worst in some of the person up let's or congress who have a completely different approach when you have to remember that when it comes to the promises they say the post has in the hands of the congress meaning that congress if it was able to get two thirds majority it could actually put a stop to with support for the war in yemen and also put a stop to any food shop still so i think that what we have to keep annoying on now is how congress to approach this issue so again i have to underscore that when you talk about the u.s. especially on the trumpet we can talk about one common perspective one position there are different u.s. policies as opposed to one u.s. policy and before i run out of time here must ask you another question quickly investigators regarding how she only allowed inside the consulate two weeks after the journalist was last seen and there are turkish officials that ultimately say

that a a fifteen member team was dispatched from saudi arabia played a role in the suspected killings or somebody at this consulate that they opened the door they allowed these men inside then hours later the men come out they were whisked away in these black cars to the airport and flown out of the country what are your thoughts what really happened. while you know obviously the information which was revealed today was that many of these members number of the fifteen member team has close links to the saudi. on the part of the security team one of them was has there were images actually of one of those individuals standing close by to mohamed been some men during his visits abroad the forensic doctor as well who was apparently was there he is considered to be a high ranking saudi official and it's clear according to the reports that these people have acted out of their own meaning who could have been could not have been

a road act but they have to orders had to have come from higher above meaning from the saudi crown prince and others so i think that whatever be the argument or the excuses made what we have witnessed it is assassination operation carried out under the instructions of the highest levels meaning the saudi crown prince himself the. middle east affairs commentator risks joining us here in our international thank you very much. to germany now where a kindergarten is under fire for promoting itself as a nursery school with quote hardly any migrants the daycare center claims its message though has been misunderstood and it has attracted criticism for other promotional initiatives as well as. explains when hunting for a daycare center for your children what tops the list great teaching kids can not. well how about hardly any migrants one can see gotten in the wealthy town of hamburg promoted just that leaving some parents mortified in

a promotional price shot they highlighted the following. of the families with the migrant bank ground only a few take care they've since deleted the sentence deleted one sentence that accurately describes the fact that there are only a few families with a migration background the kindergarten few families does not mean move families to the kindergarten also insisted it stands for inclusion and pence and children of german origin and families with a migration backgrounds. but that's not the kindergartens only statements that true criticism it outs that the financial situation of parents living in the kindergartens area is excellent. number of parents because you self employed activity such as lawyers doctors organizational consultants brokers business owners the backlash was quick to follow. yeah enough money you can do as much stay didn't

get in until you have them let the stupid playboys mingle with you these are the nazis in the guise of clean pure democrats should lead in mosques itself with an immigrant free daycare center and the villa neighborhood a socially leitz we decided to say what jim and think about the issue as a mother i would never accept it i mean you should and you could use other ways to attract people is so wrong thing to do because if you don't know each other you can't work and live together you can only understand each other when you grow up together from the earliest moment people will have international meet people from all of that involved so i think it's. really really important already young people get to know you different cultures different ways of living and so on you get older parents favor a multicultural society when it comes to words on the children this does bring attention to the proportion of native nationals in the schools and so forth so

there might be discrepancy between what they say or do our daughter was in the kindergarten for spanish and germans and so there were a lot of nations latino nations and germans together and they spoke spanish and german and their kin their god so sure on both things which are thinking about everyone wants the best for their children whether the best means having known my current classmates and whether schools should be bragging about this issue is another matter altogether and not say. are just one in twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow you wednesday worldwide news headlines continue justin. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to try to be for us this is what i'm up for three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters of how. they sit. make this manufactured consensus public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round. the one percent. we can all middle of the room see.

you wednesday program here with thanks for joining us native americans have expressed outrage over what bay see as the politically motivated hijacking of their identity by senator elizabeth warren she took a d.n.a. test to alternately rebuke donald trump. being a native american has been tart my story again since the day i was born we have a representative in congress who they say was here a long time ago she of the great tribal heritage what tribe let me think about the color pocahontas i've got more indian blood in me that pocahontas.

dollars your favorite chad hates look like child if you take the test if it shows your it. just scares so. with warren releasing results of a d.n.a. test showing she has very distant native american ancestry the reports suggest warren has just a trace of native american heritage d.n.a. tests prove white woman white woman the people questioning whether this revelation really did land her and the point do you think that the president owes elizabeth warren a million dollars or whatever it was a little bit more i would make sure that when i walk out hey amy what's your. the problem with the d.n.a. test is that it proves nothing of relevance the ought to be respected in terms of

what it means for example had to be a charity. thomas can say whatever he wants. but mocking native americans or any order to try to get me to stop american students for. so regular everyday sane people the argument about well who's a percentage of this race and their race is naturally important people are just worried about how am i going to get to work every day you know my car is broken down i need to have a job to begin with you know i want to be out to have a secure life for myself i want to have food to eat a nice place to stay there word of bo basic tangible things that people who have to have every single day but sort of frames extremist that are out there the far left to far right is a maybe and to the media it is very important because that's already hey if.

rights group amnesty international has released a damning report on the quote deep denial of britain and the u.s. led coalition over civilian casualties during the operation in the syrian city of rocca the u.k. ministry of defense still maintains its hundreds of this strikes in iraq are resulted in zero civilian casualties a statistical improbability it is completely reprehensible that the coalition refuses to acknowledge its role in most of the civilian casualties it cools since the coalition campaign against eisold in syria and iraq began in two thousand and fourteen the u.k. has carried out some seventeen hundred strikes two hundred fifteen of them just on the city of raka alone on here this year britain's defense ministry admitted responsibility for just a single civilian death of some british i'm peyser agree with amnesty international that the u.k. authorities are in denial. during a strike to engage three diouf fighters say civilian motorbike crossed into the

strike area at the last moment and it was assessed that one civilian was unintentionally killed the government's assertion is part of a wider strategy of denial around the consequences of britain's military campaign in syria and iraq. britain's defense ministry told us that the u.k. has provided details on each of the seven hundred strikes including operational briefings and when there was a civilian casualty it added that missions are carefully planned and aimed at minimizing the effect on civilians adding that it would prefer to have been involved in amnesty international's research we discussed this with political commentator jonathan shafi. it's part of a more general strategy to cover up to in some we people all over the canes of civilian casualties are caused by u.k. action this is of course something beyond the situation in iraq over here do the same both the iraq war we had the same abode in afghanistan as well we hear over

and over again that these strikes are meticulous strategic using the best technology that money can buy but in the end it's dropping bombs and explosives on dangerously populated civilian locations the language this use that and us meticulous you often hear is well of course famously or infamously collateral damage in fact these are real people and if you read the reports coming in iraq or there's a real anger in the we civilians that have been cheated not least because there's not even an undertaking to have an investigation into how these theories were taking place. thousands of people have taken to the streets of basra lona demanding freedom for two jailed cattle and leaders on the one year anniversary of their imprisonment the two man who were found guilty of sedition following the cattle and independence referendum last year that a taint attention was later prolonged after they were also found guilty of inciting violence in the region and so protests outside of boston are as well in the city of
