more than 75% of poles do not want to accept this relocation by force of the migrants from north africa to implement the decisions of the commission from september 2015, and many months ago, we sent our border guards to the camps in italy and greece, we sent also security officers. firstly we tried to identify some of these people. and, of course, the majority of them is very difficult to identify them — they do not have documents, and this is a threat for the security of the country. of course, nobody from these migrants, these refugees, we prefer to see migrants, had any inclination to emigrate to poland. 0k. you made that point. so we cannot accept the situation. 0k. let me finish. this progressive european union is deciding by relocation by force people who do not want be relocated to a country like poland. well, i put it to you that that is your position, but it is a sentiment that underscores what you have just said that makes people unhappy about the comments that are coming from official poland, for example, the chairman of the ruling party, said in april last year why he did wa

expansion into north africa and parts of iraq and iraq is the one that's got the oil and gas itself,, but the difficulty and clearly after the war is getting it out of the ground. it is investment in infrastructure. how do you play a part in that? so as companies from the region, we take a different look at the risks. we take a long—term view and we try and different ate ourselves on understanding what the real local market needs are and trying to address them rather than focussing on export and by being nimble and partnering well with companies from the outside and delivering on projects cost effectively and time, which is key, and our region as a whole has half the world's oil and gas, but less than a third of the world's oil production and less than a sixth of the world's gas production so we're punching way below our weight. you talk about the region. it was described to me once that uae is a real safe street in a really dodgy neighbourhood. when you talk about that long—term view of investment, how do you do it in a region that is notoriously unpredictable? our problems aren't b

they have never eradicated all the jihadis cells and there are people coming up from north africa and certain factors that lead to people becoming vulnerable to recruitment such as unemployment, a feeling of exclusion from spanish society, a certain degree of rachel prejudice showing and profiling. —— racial prejudice and profiling. there are certain areas of cities where there isa certain areas of cities where there is a class that feels excluded from normal society. these are the people preyed upon by ices recruiters. and the authorities are working to try to find the driver of the van, who escaped from the scene? unless he was one of the five shot in the second attack, they are not certain. it is very suspicious because everybody initially said it is this quy everybody initially said it is this guy driss 0ukabir, he said my brother stole my id papers, it was

since then, other militant groups in north africa, from algeria and of course i says have tended to use real question to ask now, why have i says and these militants decided to muddy their own water. it is not that they have had an easy stay in barcelona, the police have been chasing them, rounding them up, arresting me over the years. but still, why would you attack your own base area, as it were, rather than carry out an attack in some other city. this is a very important question that needs answering. the second problem is that all the attacks in spain, u nfortu nately, have that all the attacks in spain, unfortunately, have tended to come ata unfortunately, have tended to come at a particularly sensitive time in domestic politics. the variability attacks in madrid railway station in 2004, a few days later led to the colla pse 2004, a few days later led to the collapse of the government after the general election. with the presence state of tension between madrid and barcelona, with catalan government insisting on a referendum in october for independence, and the national government.

africa, leadership confirmed. in kenya, leadership disputed. and as for northorea, is it kimjong—un or donald trump who holds all the cards? with me to discuss this week's displays of leadership are vincent magombe, director of the african journalists‘ network, africa inform international, thomas kielingerfrom germany's die welt, the sudanese writer nesrine malik, and the us—born, london—based political commentator ned temko. the us president tweeted about guam on friday. ned, how much of this is rhetoric and bluster, and how much of it reflect a real change in the atmosphere of this relationship that has really been frozen in time for 60 years? the danger is we don't know. i will start by making a safe prediction. safe if only because i am wrong, no one will be around to know. and that is, i am fairly confident we are not on the brink of nuclear war. but should we be worried? absolutely yes. on the korean peninsular, even a conventional war could kill hundreds of thousands of people within a space of hours. in places like seoul, which is only minutes away from

from africa on a spanish beach near god these a little over seven half miles from the coast of north africa you could see people jumping from the boat as it approached the shoreline then many of the refugees are seen desperately running up the beach while others hold the boat ashore although it is unclear where the boat departed from spain has become an increasingly popular route for migrants and smugglers this year according to the international organization for immigration between january first this year to july sixteenth over seventy three hundred migrants have arrived in spain on what is known as the western mediterranean route while the figure pales in comparison with the arrivals in italy where more than ninety three thousand have landed so far this year spain is catching up with greece where nearly eleven thousand have arrived by sea in the same timeframe officials say the number of arrivals from north africa is likely to increase even more because of the good summer weather reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t. . coming up on r t i speak with a former vice presidential candidate

a search for economic opportunities, many of them coming from sub—saharan africa and going to north africag about ten years ago a cross from morocco into spain is active again. much does this tell us about the continued economic and answered economically demand from africa? gray i think it says the things, that there is consistent economic pressure on north africa. if people have a root, they will take it. thirdly, there isjust more accessibility of information about these types of routes. even five years ago, the ability to find out things like social media, cheap phone called, voice over ip, the routes today, was severely diminished. and now the flow of information smrs clearer, people scratch their heads and say, how do these people know, how do they know where to go when is notified routes or streets or signs saying... ? where to go when is notified routes or streets or signs saying...? it is because information is now free. on the routes don't matter. the point is the issue... people coming from africa, it will continue until we start having some economic involvement. the political st

in return foraid. cutting migration from north africa in return for aid.nd niger. translation: i hope the support we have been waiting for so long it will come. we need to ensure the migrants be repatriated to their own countries. back in 2015, the eu pledged $2.1 billion to help african countries stem the flow of migrants. so far this year, nearly 120,000 have entered europe by sea, more than 21100 have died making the journey. these are the latest migrants to be intercepted by the libyan coastguard and turned back to tripoli on monday. translation: we wanted to emigrate to italy and we made a deal to the smuggler to pay them but others paid different amounts. italy has borne the brunt of the new arrivals. in rome this weekend, there were protests over poor living conditions for migrants. and while the paris summit was sparse on details, it is a sign that leaders are starting to a sign that leaders are starting to a dress of the new cause of this crisis, including efforts to make sure people smugglers have alternative ways of making a living. —— starting

well i i don't think just morocco i think is the whole of north africa is a problem but yes i mean there are a lot of moroccans in the u.k. the americans throat europe and some of them of obviously being radicalized as they say i don't know sure about that word but along the short of it is we have a serious problem here is not just an attack on a spade or or british foreign policy or american foreign policy or european foreign policy it's an attack on our very civilization it's an attack on our democracy our values our belief in the rule of law and they very much intend to overthrow that as to the security question i think you'd have to ask the security forces about that they know more than i would but i think there's a problem with a lot of north africa we may need to make sure that we don't have people coming across that we've got to stop the the mass immigration is coming into europe that's causing even more problems than we already have and apart from the social security issues hospital problems the cause is going back to the origin of these suspects morocco reason major transit poin

he was from north africa. that is what we have. also the area still in shut-down.he police are going door-to-door. when this attack happened people ran for their lives as you man imagine. many people on both sides of the boulevard dived into shops. those doors were locked by frightened people. only last 35 minutes or say an hour where police have gone to each individual stores, opened shop doors to allow frightened people to get out and get out of the area. it is still developing but we have confirmmation one person is in custody. as you say spanish officials are saying number dead, 13, injured 50. 10 very seriously. trish: we're getting a lot of information coming in to us. local media reporting they have the name of this particular person, which is the big newspaper there, in spain, is reporting that they have his name. let me see if i can share this with you from the producers, yes? dres akab irs the person they're citing there. moroccan passport in the van? >> spanish passport but a person of moroccan origin although there are other reports that the individual

under president ronald reagan we recruited the mujahedin, people from the reagan peninsula, north africa, different places, the ones occupying afghanistan in the name of islam. after the war was over we forgot about afghanistan, they said their base. that was the beginning of al qaeda. we in essence where the contributing factor that brought that about. they got very upset at us because we abandoned them. they tried to go back to their home countries who didn't want them. arms, opposing their system because they had become so devoted to their version of islam and they felt abandoned and take revenge on the united states and september 11th happened. the invasion of iraq brought on isis, the islamic state of syria and iraq. if we didn't have a war in iraq they were not have been an isis. if we didn't have the mujahedin in afghanistan there would not have been al qaeda. in a way we had a hand in creating this. when we went to iraq we bombed the country, we call it shock and are. try to raise your children, take them to school, do your job and raise a family and all of a sudden b-52s are dro

we can do this and we can expel the germans out of north africa. safe,e do that, malta is oil supplies are safe. we do that very well. by late spring 1943, that is over. then they say we can go into sicily. i don't know quite what sicily does for you if you take an island. you might as well take crete. i don't know what sicily gives you really. helps knock italy out of the war. that is wonderful and we will do that by 1944, but you still are going through a mountainous 500 mile-long peninsula. it seems to me if you want to go here, this is a very bad way to do it. as you know the british are telling us, at least you are not invading france in a wide open area against the germans. more importantly is this issue we talked about, russia. at stalingrad between november 1942 and 1943, by content of january, -- and of january, 600,000 germans missing, surrendered, or lost during that campaign. there is not going to be a chance again that hitler is going to win the war quickly. it will be a war of attrition . aid942, all of this direct from the arctic cir

you know -- what is your intelligence on the scope of affiliation outside perhaps of spain in north africagain, it brings back similarities to the 2004 madrid train bombings. the cell was largely comprised of north african -- but nefblts the demographic thattize will try to tap into is in north africa. we know there's been a north african connection to terrorists, with plots there as well as in brussels airports and train bombings. the thing is isis will recruit anybody they can tap into. using a physical network, using a virtual network. if they're able to recruit people online, using the dark web, using encrypted message, it doesn't matter what the ethnic group is, they're looking for people susceptible to the ideology. >> reporter: your analysis is always extremely important to help us build a picture as indeed authorities continue to try and pick apart this complex web. sarge want, thank you. >>> well, still ahead the firing of one of president trump's top aadvisers caps off what has been a tumultuous week for the u.s. administration. ahead, we'll have the details. >>> plus the debate

under president ronald reagan re- recruited people from the arabian peninsula and north africa in different places to go to afghanistan and fight in the name of islam. then after the war was over, we forgot about afghanistan. base date there on their base. the word base in arabic is hide. we, in essence were the contributing factor mma got very upset at us because we abandoned them in a try to go back to their home country and they didn't want them, opposing their system because they had become so devoted to their version of islam. they felt stranded and abandoned and they tried to take revenge on the united states and then september 11 happened. the invasion of iraq on the current wave under isis, the islamic state of syria, if we didn't have them in afghanistan, there would not have been al qaeda. in a way we have a hand in creating these types of groups. we bombed the country, we had shock and all. they tried to take them to school and feed them and do your job and all of a sudden you see these dropping bombs. the bombs are falling down. what you do. you look up and say god help me. when

it feeds into this general fear that individuals from conflict zones across north africa and the middle east could start to head towards europe. i was at a briefing with the american embassy this morning with the major general rupertjones, the this morning with the major general rupert jones, the deputy this morning with the major general rupertjones, the deputy commander of the coalition infighting isis in iraq and syria and he was trying to offer reassurance that foreign fighters, british, european, north african fighters in syria, they are so african fighters in syria, they are so intent on saving their own lives in that region, they are not focusing on coming back to europe and launching attacks. is there a moral case britain has to answer because of the situation in libya and the intervention of us and the french to topple colonel gaddafi? the crisis in libya was not resolved. when david cameron went in there he thought it would be and we have made it in some ways worse. they call for brussels to police the border and sometimes you have to make what seems to be a tougher decision t

are moroccan and i think two of the london bridge attackers were moroccan, as well, this idea of north africa action. there are two spanish enclaves at the top of africa, they're supposed to be places where there are extremists preparing attacks or certainly they're under the attention of the security services. which is surprising because surprisingly it's a country not associated with islamist attacks and comparative democracies, etc. so the fact they're breeding these kind of people who are then doing such acts outside is very worrying. some commentators have been saying that the number of people involved is surprising because if it is a group that's been encouraged by is, they're saying, keep your numbers small, you are less likely to be detected and using vans and knifes and that kind of thing doesn't attract so much attention. they think it's a cell of 12 people and this is turned into an international effort now, all security forces joining together to hunt for these people. it's bigger. if you get to the point where vans and trucks are used, rather than planes, you can't really prevent

i don't think just morocco i think it's over north africa is a problem but yes i mean there are a lot of moroccans in the u.k. there of markings throughout europe and some of them are obviously being radicalized the countries as well world but i think the problem is the very close to europe so it's much so much easier transit point and they remember there are large numbers of moroccans living in a europe so obvious say that that may have something to do with it spain attacks clearly demonstrated radicalization is getting younger but in belgium employees of one.

there is a pipeline with a cross from north africa, morocco, and from the mali extremists fight intoany pass through spain. we have a group that is imposing a threat. charlie: when they capture a terrorist like this and began a interrogation, when are they able to lead to other activities, either because the search where they live or they realize -- there is a number of ways they get this information. pieces of paper and information on the person. their cell phones, computers, social media. all of those connections provide a web to investigators who leverage those in terms of an interrogation. we have to be suspicious that perhaps one of the ways the spanish authorities were able to cell, 80 miles south, was because of all the information they gathered, and perhaps the cooperation really did get people alive in these operations. they have four in custody that can provide lead information. charlie: any indication that an attack like this was coming? guest: not clear. there were some reports that cia havether authorities may had general warnings. there is no indication of a specific wa

many were sent to north africa for more training for top secret operation. midnight july 10th, 1943, 3,400 allied paratroopers jumped into sicily but it was a doomed mission right from the start. >> germans and -- shot down 23 of our planes. >> the chaplain in one of those jumps is not only looking up to spiritual for these guys but also serving as a medic. >> i carried a medic pack on me leg. i was a chaplain, i had a different weapon. >> 23 planes were lost to friendly fire, but that didn't deter ridgeway. he sent the 82nd in solona, italy. and this time the jump was better planned. >> it was the 82nd airborne division that came in as a reinforcement that tipped the scales in our favor. >> we hit the drop zone at midnight. and an officer said you're going to have to hold us at all cost. they were so strong, but we did hold them. those men just would not give up. >> secure the 82nd infantry where they suffered heavy casualties. finally, they were pulled back to england to prepare for the i decisive battle of world war ii, the invasion of normandy. before da

he sought to give her an outline of what he had done in north africa and italy. he had many terrifying near misses. once, a truck he was sitting in was hit. the person he was sitting next to was killed. he was unscathed. some of his stories were gruesome. drinking from a clear mountain creek, only to find bodies in the creek upstream. entering a cave with hundreds of victims of the massacre in rome. and hearing a strange sound, what was that? it was the maggots that work on the bodies. i am not like ernie pyle, he wrote. i don't mind looking at dead men. but these sights and sounds will remain with me forever. he seemed to want to prepare her for what sort of man would be coming home. but his letter wasn't typical. some, like philip mayher, talked about the weather and what he wanted to eat. that's basically it. thomas childers argues that soldiers try to protect their families from what they were experiencing. when willis allen's division marched through rome, at first he hoped to write his family and really talk about what had happened. his family could share t

his entry to that country from north africa just a few days ago. he spent time in madrid earlier this year. what they're doing here, what amounts to reverse engineering. they're looking at his travel history. if they have him in custody, they may have access to his phones, an ipad on even a computer to understand who were the contacts he had and what he was doing in those hours leading up to the rental of that van. it seems clear from our reporting this afternoon, especially the details you highlighted, this was not a lone wolf but there was a smaller cell in play, which is typically what we've seen in these types of terrorism cases. we have the two rental values and the question mark over the white ford focus that tried to plow into the police officers and made a get-away and the person committed suicide. so it seems on its face larger than single individual. the agencies in this country really want to know whether this is someone that is known to them. someone who is radicalized and shouldn't be let into the united states or another case of someo

one man of moroccan descent, one spanish man who came from a spanish enclave in north africa. the third as yet unidentified. two huge, significant incidents, deadly incidents in the span of 18 hours in what is now this fluid and ongoing situation. >> and becky, we understand there was a house explosion in catalonia wednesday. originally they thought it was a gas explosion. and now police are zeroing in, wondering if that could be linked, as well. >> reporter: 200 kilometers, 120 odds mills from here. an explosion at a house wednesday, this is before the barcelona attack. authorities had assumed this was a gas explosion. in fact, one of the main newspapers here reporting yesterday that there was found on site some 20 canisters of propane and butane. one person was killed in that explosion. a number of others were injured. so at the time, as i say, an explosion. not clear how, but an explosion. now it appears that authorities are in this complex web, this complex and fluid, ongoing investigation, beginning to look at links between that event, the event in barcelona, and the even

which is the movement out of, not only syria, but i would get people to pay attention to the north africauestion as well. libya had really been sort of the second element of the state up until recently. the footprints, isis's footprint has been reduced, but they have a stakeholder command they try to move people up into europe through those areas. >> juan: you are saying in fact that they are moving from the middle east towards north africa? >> you have two things going on, isis, syria, iraq, and then a four years ago they established a satellite operation in libya. it was kind of like a plan b, like if things went bad for them in syria and iraq, they had a leadership structure in libya. it was a way to shield some of the leadership and use it as a launching pad into europe. now i say that, but in the last year, the special operations forces have done a lot to degrade and clearly reduce the footprint in libya. they have taken out, they say over 3000 fighters that were primarily located in the eastern part of the country. but isis still has a much smaller footprint, but the goal is to use

sanctuary of nesting of terrorists who will come after us, those people out of there now, they are in north africa. so we're sending troops everywhere, if you follow that line. that is what we have to do. >> a good point, i heard over and over, i agree with it. i would rather fight them there than here. >> absolutely, and we need to listen to our generals on the ground, i thought fors effective he acknowledged the problems we have, he also said i'm going to listen to the troops and generals on ground, and give them the support they need to win in afghanistan. i don't think our troops necessarily thought they had support of president obama in past. that say huge change. >> the poll show, that president former president did not do well among troops, even though george w. bush did before him, both policies, now almost in second decade in this war. >> history tv moment, from a liberal democrat, i think trump is finally listening to his generals. i want to thank troops for their service, but trump is correct on this one, we have to go over there we have t to ensure those terrorists do not come over her

not just in terms of iraq and syria but also north africa, even places like bosnia and afghanistan that they've had to keep an eye on and pakistan as well. and keep in mind as well, the jihadi lc jihadi lexicon, spain holds a special place because it was the area once under islamic control, that they think it will be a moment of return for this movement and that's in part why the spanish colonies in north africa have come under some direct pressure and why spanish authorities have been under pressure for some time. if we're looking at a potential set of suspects, it's violent islamic extremists who have been of concern to the spanish authorities for some time and as you indicate in your question, the demonstration effect of -- the use of simple means to achieve mass terrorist effect is something that we're witnessing again on las ramblas, one of the great avenues and boulevards in europe, if not the world. >> juan, stand by. i want to bring in an msnbc terrorism analyst. when things like this happen, what kind of precautions do we take here at home? >> look, i mean, we can look at some

a pipeline they cross in from north africa into western europe. many pass through spain but obviously we have a group that remained in spain and poses a threat there. >> rose: when they capture a terrorist like this and begin the interrogation, what's been the terms of them at someponent being able to lead to other activities because they search where they live or b because in the end they realize the game is up? >> there are a number of ways they get this information. pocket litter, pieces of paper and information on their person. it's their cell phones, computers, their social media, all those connections provide a web to investigators. they leverage those in terms of an interrogation and we have to be suspicious that perhaps one of the ways that the spanish authorities were able to get to the cambrils cell 80 miles south was because of all that information they gathered and perhaps the cooperation. rarely do you get people alive after these operations and they have four in custody that can provide lead information. >> rose: do they have any ind

the kind of f threats that we're goa see from national security, is just look no further than north africa. look at the arab spring. one of the contributing causes was a very rapid run-up in the price of wheat. now, why did wheheat almost dodouble rigs the arab spring got going? it doubled because there were terrrrific droroughts in austst, and if everybody remembers the fires of a few years ago, and the russian summer. there were big droughts there. worldwide wheat harvest really contracted. so, you couple the drought with rreally bad governance w with alalready exexisti strtrife, i's sort of like dumping gasoline on and then just throwing matches. even though our budgets are vevery, v very constraiained ine department of defense and the department of the navy, the climate doesn't care about our budgets. it doesn'n't care about our politics. it's just g goingo change accordingng to the laws f physics. >> it's not only the military that is increasingly concerned. so are many financial and business experts.

which it has maintained, close to 200 people have been arrested and it has been a connection to north africace. a lot of countries in france and belgium and here in germany as well, in a lot of questions have been raised to the immigrant population. but there have been many people calling for within the muslim community in spain to maybe look at why was it a lot of these young guys into being radicalized, -- end up being radicalized, and how can be avoided in the future. brent: the questions with big answers. as always, thank you very much. here's a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. nigeria's president has hit out at separatists in his first television appearance after a very long absence. he spent several months in the u.k. being treated for an undisclosed medical condition. 's absence led for protests and calls for him to resign. officials have ruled out terrorism is emotive after a van crashed into two bus shelters this morning. at least one was killed and another injured after a van plowed into two separate bus stops. police arrested the driver. he has a histo

last week in spain, a boatload of people from north africa, muslims from north africa, showed up on a beach. they made their way over to the shores of spain and just got off the beach. the police couldn't even capture all of them. they are having their own border problems there. the catalonia happens to be the region of spain with the highest number of muslim immigrants, partly because so many secessionists within that government and the political party want to bring those people and in order to have more votes for their political cause. >> harris: i like to look for similarities and what we are talking about. we have covered so much of their challenge and struggle in terms of letting people in from the somali and muslim community. much of it has been successful, but we know just last june, they were quite a few young somali muslim men who were found guilty of trying to join isis in minneapolis in the suburbs ther there. what similar? well, catatonia, as i understand it, is in a very similar situation where the assimilation has been a challene for those people. for whatever reason, bu

i don't think just morocco i think it's over north africa is a problem but yes i mean there are a lot of moroccans in the u.k. there of markings throughout europe and some of them are obvious i mean radicalize the countries as well world but i think the problem is east very close to europe so it's a monday so much easier transit point and they remember there are large numbers of americans living in a europe so obvious say that that may have something to do with it. the spain attacks clearly demonstrated radicalization is getting younger but in belgium employees of one kindergarten have reported signs of islamic radicalization even among toddlers sold in was said to have made death threats to unbelievers calling them pigs and even displayed hand gestures imitating throat cutting its claim they've been reciting verses from the koran during playtime while they've reportedly skip classes because the kindergartens vision does not fit in with their believes and we spoke to the co-ordination director of the facility. he says they're even more concerned now about their children after what hap

one of the things you saw in response primarily to the piracy threats off of north africa was that insurance companies worked with shipping lines to ensure that they were security force details on ships that were in the pirate infested waters and that helped drive down. you are calling on the republican line, market forces are at work there and are creating a situation in which security is being provided by private security firms. i don't think there is a need for the u.s. navy to provide that service. there is a need for the u.s. navy and allies acting in concert to underwrite large areas of security requirements the horn of africa, the arabian gulf, the pacific, that remains a duty. but this point of impact, the sense of commercial shipping, i think is a private concern. host: brian is calling on their independent line. caller: good morning, how are you? and good morning to our guest. background working for the navy, and i am also a recent graduate of the eisenhower school, so my perspective on this is a little well-informed. i think that the current conversation we are hearing is the solu

many are travelling from bangladesh to libya in north africa.terranean to europe. and they pay great amounts of money to try and make thatjourney, too. sanjoy majumder reports from dhaka. it's an exodus. half a million people leave bangladesh every year, hoping to make their fortunes overseas. increasingly, many are making the extremely dangerous crossing over the mediterranean to try and get to europe. putting their lives at risk. many of these people are headed to the gulf or the middle east, which is the preferred route for those trying to get to sudan, to libya, perhaps even beyond. and when you speak to them, you get a sense that they're being driven by an air of desperation. even though so many of these journeys can end in tragedy. last year abu sayed left his home for libya. like many others, he was lured with the promise of a good job. he cashed in all his savings to pay his way. but in libya, he was sold to traffickers. they held him captive, demanding a ransom of $5,000. translation: they used to torture me. i would not be given food.
