there have been a number of xenophobic attacks on the island. ndiaye niang from senegal has been peddling his wares for years on the beach in palma. he has often been verbally abused. ndiaye: i wanted to sell a tourist something. he got angry and insulted me. and because i am an immigrant, i ran away. i don't want any trouble with the police. but i didn't like what happened. reporter: most of the tourists here just want to have a good time and enjoy their holiday on this stretch of beach popular mainly with german tourists. german beer flows freely. but now, right wing extremists have joined in. one incident occurred recently when german singer and party queen mia julia was performing. one guest used his mobile phone to film the scene. members of the white supremacist hammerskins waved a flag used by the german armed forces during world war ii. before they are said to have shouted, "foreigners go home," when a dark-skinned artist was singing. the audience reacted to this by chanting, "nazis out." the hammerskins have long returned to germany. th

when you called donald trump a racist and a xenophobe, do you really believe that or do you that i is some political strategy as you said a moment ago to placate the base? >> the answer is yes and no. i mean i think if you go back to his attacks on barack obama when he was leading the birther movement and trying to delegitimatize the administration of the first african-american president, i mean i think that's racist. i can't think of a nicer word to say. when you think about his attacks on the central park rape situation, you recall that. >> sure. >> with young men were found to be innocent and he was persisting on that issue, you call it what you want. i don't know. but it sounds to me like this is kind of racism. so is it political? is what he believes? who knows? but certainly the policies that he has from bringing forth in terms of anti-muslim, in terms of anti-latino, in terms of, you know, anti-affirmative action and so forth and so on, don't look good noechlt. >> since you mentioned the flip-flopping which he continues to do, what do you make of his coming out against daca one

north korea is an ultranationalist, xenophobic regime which cannot be influenced by outside powers, sonot tell north korea what to do, but it can cut north korea off and that a collapse, which i am convinced is the only way out of it. china has showed it is not willing to get serious, so i think our only resort would be hard secondary sanctions on chinese entities and banks enabling north korea's weapons trade. also, if nikki haley is not successful in getting an oil embargo through the un, we should cut us dollar access to any company supplying north korea. but there could be repercussions in terms of us- could be repercussions in terms of us— china trade and business relations, with the chinese retaliating, and this could basically complicate global trade. yes, that is a real concern. but again, ithink yes, that is a real concern. but again, i think china still needs us more than we need them, in terms of trade. and this is another reason that we should not have pulled out of tpp, to give the us trading companies access to china in the case of something like this happening. when it c

xenophobic nationalism was not discovered by the bolsheviks, however. it has its roots in old russia. throughout russian history, contact with foreigners were discouraged, and it was practically impossible for a foreigner to live or operate a business in the country. until 1703, all domestic and foreign news was deemed a state secret, and foreign news has been regarded with deep suspicion ever since. in recent years, however, expanded contacts with the west and technological improvements in modern communications have weakened the regime control of information. soviet citizens to they greater access of information from abroad, particularly through radio broadcast and from unofficial sources within their own country. this has enabled them to compare their standard of living to other standards, and therefore to become more aware of alternatives to the soviet system. for this reason, the soviet regime in recent years has increasingly sought to make it's propaganda more credible in order to counter the influence of western ideas. moscow has decided to releas

so dealing with xenophobic populism at home in germany may prove to be next big challenge. of get more now on those challenges we are rejoined in the studio by heigho funk an expert at germany's for university a professor there and also from from again as friedrich schiller university gentlemen welcome to both of you we just saw a piece there about angela merkel about her her governing and also her career history just generally speaking in the wake of these election results where do you think that we are on that trajectory now at this point is this now the point at which she starts to descend. no sure america. and she will do it she's pregnant i think efficient and the other party members who will be in this possibly in this correlation know what they have to do there pragmatic petitions and they know that they are responsible for having that kind of government so she would do it again she did it already she's very tough. that's certainly something that is definitely not up for debate she is certainly very tough but you know the coalition that she is trying to get together

>> we call upon our representatives to resist using daca recipients as a bargaining chip for a xenophobic agenda of militarizing the word of detaining and deporting millions. >> reporter: they are working with attorneys to make sure immigrants know their rights and mental health providers to offer help with the emotional toll this process may take. >> for those children, um, i think -- i just feel sorry that they are in this mess. um, and they have a right to be here and the overall -- there's no problem here. we should just resolve it to help them. >> reporter: and there are plans for a big rally at 5 p.m. outside of the new federal building that is on 7th street here in san francisco. anne makovec, kpix 5. >>> some santa clara county lawmakers say they also plan to defend daca despite president trump's plan to end the program. >> we will do what we can to champion federal legislation that protects "dreamers" and their families. >> today i feel empowered. i feel like i need to make a difference and i feel like i need to speak up so that we can show a face that is strong, united and that

the vast majority of germans are horrified still by afd, by its xenophobic rhetoric, but nationalism.. that there isa and the refugee politics. that there is a broader appeal here as well. aplin macca's attracting people who feel forgotten, ignored, even, by germany's centrist policies and its mainstream political parties. those parties vow they will not do business with afd. but it may yet emerge as germany's third—largest party. hard to ignore the current carving its way through the political establishment. the tennis star venus williams was hoping to give her new born niece an early chance to see what she and her mum serena have been doing for the last 18 years — winning major titles. but her run to the us open semi—finals has been ended by a player she's said to have inspired — sloane stephens. the 24—year—old will now take on madison keys in the final — the first time either of them have reached a grand slam title. colm harrison reports. in the first of the all—american semifinals, venus williams aiming to reach her 17th grandslam singles final was up against an opponent who was

so dealing with xenophobic populism at home in germany may prove to be a medical's next big challenge. and with the c.d.u. c.s.u. in the social democrats slated to be the two largest parties the race is really on for third place now the latest opinion polls indicate that position could go to the far right alternative for germany or f.t. it's on course to become the first far right party voted into german parliament since world war two and it is likely to shake up the political consensus with its opposition to migrants and islam. a.f.d. election posters leave little to the imagination new germans will make values ourselves reads this one because past this slogan we're into bikini's if there were any down to about the alternative on offer it's islamophobia and anti immigrant stop islamification photo you have to be reads this poster to suppose that threat posed by islam in migrants has been a key campaign message for the have to use lead candidates. politicked often and the policy of open borders the indiscriminate admission of people from other religions and cultures poses a grave thre

think you have to say it like that in the last four years was really based on this anti immigrant xenophobe a racist sentiment that they have stood up as a result of the stream of migrants of refugees coming into germany in those years two thousand and fifteen two thousand and sixteen it's that issue that has really pushed them into practically all regional parliaments and is likely to push them now into the central parliament in germany and we will see if they are able to reach that five percent threshold indeed in order to get in and if they are hons i mean how does that change the dynamic of governing in the parliament one of the possible scenarios well at the moment it's already changed german politics it's already become a lot more raucous we just so saw that they have been hecklers at all appearances hecklers from the right at appearances of angular machall it's been a lot more contentious on that level this election campaign on another level as we've said it was not very interesting between the large parties but on this level it was quite rochas it was quite vociferous it was quite i

days they're saying quote we have no racism and we're not xenophobic regarding f.t. so your take on it. this is a protest and populist party and it has many different. factions within the party there's definitely a right wing nationalistic party i would call it fascist but that kind of direction but they are also people who are simply conservatives form a christian democrats who are feeling that the policies of the program of the christian democrats is no longer what it once was so and the interesting question will be what happens now after the election i mean will this would be one scenario or will that party fall apart you know in its various ways and then go out of the parliament again we have had a similar situation years ago in one of the states. where the nationalist the not. the n p d got in big double digit numbers and after one legislature they were disappearing you know so that's a possibility i don't know what happened i mean nobody can force see whether the more moderate party or the more extremist part of the party will take the upper hand so a bit comes

nathaniel moore/stop urban shield coaliton: it's xenophobic. it's racist.t entirely focuses on a nexus to terrorism while the actual residents of the bay area struggle with very different issues. homelessness. we are worried about earthquakes and other natural disasters. organizers say they instead had their own resource fair to prepare bay area residents how to help themselves during a disaster. nathaniel moore/stop urban shield coaliton: earthquake kits that we are actually going to distribute and teach people how to build. we had a self-defense training. we had a training about how to put out fires in your house. we had trainings about how to interact with your community members without calling the police. reyna jauregui/activistwe feel like first informing themselves what to do on how to prevent this. the less they can call the cops, the more that we're empowering us. they say urban shield widens the divide between police and their communities. gema quetzal/activista lot of times the police who are coming into the communities are not from the community

elections in this country by democrats, republicans are racist, sexist, misogynistic, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic. that's what they believe. they believe the democratic ally. the president is on my past presidents. he is fighting back against the lies. i think it's refreshing because it's something that so vicious that they've gotten away with. it's now made it to the mainstream where people believe this garbage. >> sean, it's so sad. you are exactly right. it's out of the playbook of the left. the demonization philosophy. go back to 1980, ronald reagan. they said ronald reagan raised the specter of white sheets. voting for ronald reagan was like a good german voting in hitler's germany. on and on and so on and so forth. demonizing him as a racist and misogynist is the same thing they are saying about president trump. it's false and defamatory and president trump is fighting back. it kills those liberals in the hollywood elites. they use their entire platform to skewer the president. >> sean: let's go to the agenda, pam bondi. i think the president -- they'd got to get the funding f

every two and four years the democrats they racist, sexist, xenophobic.se ads i saw down in alabama, against roy moore, ale r conservative, were run by republicans, steve. what's happening here?y >> the republican -- the elites represented by mitch mcconnell, right? hold me in contempt, right? they think i'm a bad guy. they think i'm a dangerous guy. i wear their contempt is a badge of honor. okay? they have helped destroy this country. they have done nothing but allow academic hate crimes against the hard working men and womene in this country. the factories went to china and the drugs came in. the good folks of alabama have t choice. this is jeff sessions's seat, sean. you know how close i am to him, i know how close you are to him. jeff sessions he's been our mentor. this seat is jeff sessions's seat. that's why tomorrow i hope the folks in alabama send another righteous man like jeffno sessions, i hope they send judge moore into the runoff with thegh democrat. >> sean: one comment you made since you left the white house i didn't like. when you said to

the french perspective, it's harder to understand, even if we have a very high extreme right and xenophobic movement, we still are a very diverse country with waves of immigrant dating from the 60s, and decades of society, it's changing very much with 12 or 15% muslim population, integrated to the highest level of society and i understand that it's not the case for other european country. it's different ethnic backgrounds and different immigration, so this will create a divide between east and west and different countries, and this will not be solved overnight. you have behind it all cultural and identity question. >> will do one lightning round. gentlemen here, two rows in the back and the lady appear. very quickly. >> thank you very much. in light of the fact that somebody said 34% of europe feel that they are headed in the wrong direction, what does that say for liberal democracy overall, especially in light of migration, income inequality and social media impacts. is liberal democracy threatened? >> thank you. the lady appear. thank you. >> i would like to mention briefly the transatlan

include immigrant youth and community leaders who call president trump's decision outrageous and xenophobic. daca stands for "deferred action for childhood arrivals." >> those affected came to the u.s. as children some of them infants. now the residency status of nearly 800,000 undocumented young people is in limbo. fox news's lauren blanchard is in washington tonight with more. >> reporter: president trump fulfilling a campaign promise to end a controversial program that protected some illegal immigrants from deportation. >> we have no choice. we have to be able to do something and i think it's going to work out very well. >> reporter: the trump administration calling it quits on the "deferred action for childhood arrivals" program better known as daca. under the obama era effort, illegal immigrants who came to the u.s. as kids were allowed to stay in the country. president trump is said to have made his final decision on the matter over the past weekend. >> we are people of compassion and we are people of law. but there is nothing compassionate about the failure to enforce immigration law

he is nativist, xenophobic, and that was old -- dog whistles. they stopped him from building projects and he has the typical thing about developers where they could have put it up two years sooner if it were not for the government red tape. , youter charlottesville want on npr and said he does not see his job as president as providing moral leadership to the country. this is very different from every other modern president when faced with a racial episode like this. so can you be president of the united states and be a moral on a carpet -- amoral on a topic like charlottesville? providing moral leadership, so i guess the answer to that question is yes, but that was an amazing moment because the easiest thing for presidents -- it is almost like default on your keyboard what you say after a moment of racial tension. it is in the memory banks. you stand up and say words of inclusion and healing and even if you do not say them eloquently, every other president has said that. there is a standard thing for presidents to say after an incident of racial

manufacture the things that are distasteful at best are the fact that the donald trump voters are not xenophobic however, they do stand by someone who has displayed the characteristics over and over again. and so -- >> nobody is offering them anything better. >> i'm not offering anything better? >> not you. >> i'm not offering anything better than schacht lotsville? >> charlottesville is not reflections of this country. they are a small minority of people. >> that's not true. that's not true. that's not true at all. in fact, the -- no. i mean, you just had somebody today who was an all american kid shoot two black people and try to shoot up a familiarly. and to keep trying to say that these things are not indicative of the country, the people in charlottesville, they just doesn't live in basements and come out to go to lowe's and buy tiki torches. they're real life people that have careers and part of this country. there's a direct correlation between charlottesville, the pording of share owe pie yoe and they vaul a direct correlation. listen, i wa i want everyone to come out and vote for the ca

the idea that the president is just trying to play to his base, a base of voters that's really xenophobic. i find it funny they want to talk about the rule of law. sheriff arpaio was found guilty by a court of law and the president interceded in the process of justice to overturn his conviction. meanwhile, you know, on the flipsid3 they try to say this is something they had to do in terms of -- to fill the rule of law. this is all going back and forth. the president at the same time wants to say he has authority to enforce his muslim ban but doesn't have the authority to also stop people from being deported. you can't have it both ways. and really the only reason you're doing this, again, is to excite your base who at this point has pretty much lost everything they've been trying to do. >> congressman ruben gallego from arizona, thanks very much for joining us. >> thank you, wolf. >> coming up, days after testing its most powerful nuclear weapon, north korea is directing ominous new threats to the united states. is kim jong-un's regime on the verge of testing yet another inter-continental

[applause] the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, you name it. >> martha: remembert was hillary clinton's now infamous remark just last year it feels like a longer longer than that, doesn't it? today her new book, what happened, a look back at the 2016 election finally hits book stores it feels like it has been out for several weeks already, doesn't it? it turns out that she blames a lot of different people for her loss except the one she sees in the mirror every day what she wakes up in the morning. fox news chief correspondent ed henry live at the white house with the inside story tonight. hi, ed. >> hillary clinton reveals among other things that she has given up her dream of ever serving here at the white house as president after two failed bids. yet she is not really moving on. promising her critic she's is knot going away and try to stay in president trump's face. and clinton is still waving that long list as you mentioned at least a couple dozen things that she blames as her loss to the president. james comey and russia and fake news. perhaps a surprise to he

the xenophobic and anti-immigrant party won 13% of the vote, becoming the first far-right-wing party to break into the german parliament in more than 60 years. meanwhile, tensions continue to escalate over catalonia's independence referendum on october 1. the spanish government has tried to take control of catalonia's police force, although catalan police chiefs rejected the move. also over the weekend, pro-referendum organizers distributed one million paper ballots ahead of sunday's vote. in northern iraq, voters are heading to the polls today for a referendum on kurdish independence. the governments of iraq and iran have both retaliated against the referendum. iran has halted flights to and from the semi-autonomous kurdish regions and launched wargames at the kurdish border. iraq also tightened its control over the region's borders and called on countries to stop importing oil from the kurdish areas. the pentagon says it launched six drone strikes into libya on sunday, killing at least 17 people. the pentagon describes the drone strikes as an attack on an isis training camp, and sa

unions taking action, to prevent employers undercutting pay and conditions, not closed war borders, xenophobicat is why our general election manifesto set out a 20—point plan for security and equality at work, including equal rights for all from day one in a job, banning zero hours contracts, guaranteeing unions a right of access to work places. raising the minimum wage to a real living wage, ending the public sector pay cap. setting maximum pay ratios of 20—1 in the public sector and beyond. banning unpaid internships, doubling paternity pay, reinstating protection against harassment in work and support the dying to work campaign to protect workers suffering from terminal illnesses. applause. but ultimately, protections at work depend on those who work themselves. winning a labour government even one with a programme to transform the country which is now our goal is simply not enough. that's why the most important thing any workers can do isjoina most important thing any workers can do isjoin a trade union. cheering and applause. and i want young people, especially, to hear this message — man

cultures but then there's also a big percentage of those voters that are simply and openly racist and xenophobic one of the the west where there was at a particular part to the sorts of people the sorts of issues who are voting for the f.t. west in germany. i think the cultural and and societal explanation that i have just delivered this anti-globalization anti elite feeling that is even more important in the west in the east this is you know far big problem that was explained again and again also by the communist past i mean twenty eight years ago the fall this was a communist country the wall came down twenty eight years before and in this time there are people lived here in quite close society they had no experience with people from other cultures that is one of the explanations but also political reasons many say that the politicians here didn't deal enough with the problem of rising xenophobia in the east and germany have probably on the phone the mark thank you so much. as you can imagine the outcome of germany said action has been watched keen on the world particularly by germany's europe

please do not apply those same xenophobic standards, if you will, or thinking to threese grp of d.r.e.a.m.ers because that's not the case. and i'm told that his staff is very empathetic to that, they get it but the question is whether or not the president gets it and i don't know. >> sometimes appealing to this president or looking from an economic perspective, the fact is these d.r.e.a.m.ers like jesus i spoke to, they bring in a lot of money. they pay taxes. they help support the infrastructure. they are responsible for contributing to their state's economy and again with the taxes, federal economy. how much do you think that might -- if that's articulated properly and particularly in the state of texas right now, when you have so many of these, i think there's 28,000 d.r.e.a.m.ers living in the houston area alone, as we watch the president leaving that church there, how much do you think that's going to factor into the president's decision making, that there's an economic contribution with having these d.r.e.a.m.ers in the united states. >> you would think that it would, right? you would t

will happen the thing is i know that you guys are very worried about donald trump being you know xenophobic creases whatever back in the middle east that's monday we are used to that but here's the here's the difference i think it's not going to be the worst thing to have these people rise those kind of hatred because people will come to understand that people running on empty rhetoric is not enough it's all of this fake patriotism all of this hate all of it will fall nothing or if he wins so what i mean people lose so was so would that mean like the you know it's not going to be like and improve our again great dictator people will understand that this kind of rhetoric if i mean it will be painful i mean it's not going to be an easy right but even if he wins eat people will understand that their problems among going to be solved by empty rhetoric their problems not going to be sold by just saying let's make america great again i lay amazing in suspenders. when president two hundred twenty five days yes better or worse than you expected i think it's the exact exact legs not surprised by it

and this is like for the first time that such a party openly is xenophobic and antiestablishment is enteringfd party getting 13% of the vote. tell our british audience of that significance? well, as nicholas said this is really unprecedented in germany and it's going to up end the political landscape here because germany has been very consensus driven since the second world war really and for the first time you have this openly racist party that's come into parliament and it is not happy about the migration policy obviously, but other core policies of the german government over the past years and decades. sol of the german government over the past years and decades. so i would expect a much more confrontational approach in the german parliament going forward. and it's not going to be sort of the cosy days of german politics that many of us have been used to. 0k. nicholas, more confrontational in the parliament... it will change. sorry, go ahead. well, it will change the parliament, that's for sure and it is like the immediate outcome out of a grand coalition which is the second, it was the s

statements that are racist and or xenophobic and then the last thing that i thought was quite interesting was to see those potential coalition partners sniffing each other out. circling around each other the chance listening very intently. at her possible coalition partners were speaking and i agree it's not an easy mix those three parties the greens the business friendly free democrats. and the conservatives but i do see some areas where i think they might be able to put together cooperation and even on europe. i found mr linda sounding a little bit more pragmatic than he had been during the election campaign so does all the others point struck me. thanks so much for that's adelaide soon let's listen to just a wee little bit of what i'm gonna medical had to say and then we'll talk about it. she's talking about values by the way. the up. i believe that a stable german government is of value in itself i believe our entire parliamentary system. aren't from countries that have a long tradition of minority government is i'm not sure before i even had a single guy exploratory talk i know we've

so dealing with xenophobic populism a tome in germany may prove to be mackerels next big challenge. well this is the fourth time that i'm going merkel is running for chancellor it was twelve years ago that her predecessor gary hart reuter called for a snaffle election now he lost and a few months later i'm going to america was sworn in as germany's new chancellor it was the year that another german that took over in the vatican you may remember cardinal ratzinger became pope benedict the sixteenth and there were some royal wedding bells ringing princes or prince charles or other married his longtime partner there she is the happy couple those two camilla parker bowles four years later germans went to the polls again and miracle was reelected and that is the same year that barack obama was sworn in as u.s. president now obama a person that america would later say have become a close friend of hers and fans around the world that you're more into the sudden death of the king of pop michael jackson. then in the last election merkel became chancer for a third time and it was the year tha
