6:07 am
from berlin. i mean while frank council member of the f.t. party in palin's parliament thinks instead of safe zones for women it's migration policies that need rethinking we feel that there is a new step of. danger coming into our country we've seen it since we have to already build vols against our christmas markets this is a development we do not want to see really policy should change we should not continue to have this mass immigration of illegal mass migration we do have we have to count and see who the people are who came to our country have to register them this is a process which has not been come to an end and we must close the borders in order to have a stable society you can go much further than the security forces or the politicians in germany go so that's a problem and that i think this is not a good sign for the new year to come. thousands of palestinians clashed with

6:12 am
often work you do and you. were right. you mean you. were doing this as a simple user would. people which is what. we've said you know this the but the but when you go go go go. so did you hear that russia's foreign minister actually admitted to meddling in elections around the world i don't pay attention as this is because i did no no that was actually a video. what do you think do you think that that actually i mean are you surprised by that that he would admit to actually meddling in the u.s. election absolutely i think definitely changed everything that the public was seeing right now and of course he would never meet if they did anyway right it's quite surprising that he would have made something like that and even go further
6:13 am
it's actually it's a prank video it was a comedy show that he did he was totally being certain guys i miss him already i knew. he was being sarcastic ok much more sense you're saying he's joking yeah it was a comedy program yeah right but who knows that he's joking do you feel like people are predisposed to believe negative things about russia one hundred years ago and to say i think that we have a very negative connotation about people and yeah it's the way versions are pictured than western countries. that he thought installing the latest antivirus software would protect you from being hacked and think again even leading cyber security expert john mcafee hasn't been immune he claims his twitter account was breached and used as part of an elaborate crypto currency scout well here's what happened.

6:16 am
a year that story and more after the break. now. here's what people have been saying about rejected and that is you know i was actually just pull on. the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of mark t.
6:17 am
america is going to say that we are apparently better than blue that i see people you've never heard of love redacted the next president of the world bank so terry i'm going to write a seriously send us an e-mail. welcome back it's been more than a year since a senior french aid worker was abducted in mali she gone there to help malnourished children so people one that is seventy two years old back in twenty sixteen she was taken hostage by local terrorists and in july this year she was shown alongside five other captives in so-called proof of life footage released by al qaeda or spoke to her son who says despite an ongoing investigation he's received no information about his mother nor the ease with the paris prosecutor ordered an urgent investigation but it has stalled we are now trying to find new materials to
6:18 am
restart it so that it won't be a bow. and in due to a lack of results we were establishing contacts to try to trace her and seeking any information to establish with the she's alive and where she might be found so far we have no news nothing concrete be the from the kidnappers nor from any contact persons and also nothing from the foreign ministry's crisis center. well the number of those kidnapped by terrorists has been rising sharply last year the total number worldwide reached almost sixteen thousand people in july french president emanuel like long called for the mobilization of all possible resources to bring sophie back however after a year she still trapped in mali. if your boss will be a little but the odds of today my thoughts are with our competitor it's a fifty seven on who was abducted in go on christmas eve you know and you may be sure that all the resources of the state are being mobilized to foreign her and bring her back to her family but also be certain that as far as i'm concerned i
6:19 am
will not give in to any provocation because that is precisely what our attackers want it's good that they can be contacted for support her family has been disappointed by the government's failure to make any decisions in this case yes it's wonderful that we are being supported with the world who really needs support is my mother we need to ask mr marquand about this he has power in the situation he can decide on a course of action it must be admitted that so far no progress has been made in tackling this matter. the first ship carrying russian produce gas has reached the u.k. under a new energy deal the liquefied natural gas is produced by a company which the u.s. has put on its sanctions list in a move strongly supported by london at the time the first round of washington sanctions were imposed in twenty fourteen in response to russia's alleged military invasion of ukraine the us has always been critical of russia's gas supplies to europe the americans say these undermine the continent's energy security with
6:20 am
moscow using fuel supplies as a foreign policy tool of the e.u. that britain has supported we have seen how countries such as putin's russia used tear gas supplies as a tool of foreign policy threatening to cut off supplies or drastically increase prices it's not in europe's interests it's not in our interests it's also a political rather than a commercial undertaking and there is an existing framework in place for the e.u. to take more aggressive action on north stream two and similar projects if it wished to do so politically however the end of twenty seventeen has seen the u.k. out in the cold and in need of russian gas and started around three weeks ago when the most important type lines of bread. was shut down due to a crack then one of the biggest hubs in europe suffered an explosion which led to a shop rise in gas prices and britain has faced an unusually cold winter with blizzards and freezing temperatures and gas experts mando salamis says britain has foregone foreign policy for cheaper russian fuel why is the european union but if
6:21 am
them sub borked you are sanctions when it comes to their own needs they can put aside or a share of the sanctions for their own benefit and that is the situation with the united kingdom now russia has a liability supply of fuel so i think that will continue of course the united states would like to be able to to use europe as dependence on russian gas and a lot of oil but they come out they might try through sanctions doing careers that are supplies of really. but it will not work because very can be is far more expensive than the russian gas. two professors from san diego state university claim follows markets in the u.s.
6:22 am

6:25 am
living in the streets. a simple fact in l.a. use there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and it's been a struggle. to get this man from his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such. a tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution you craft someone wanted touring the site otherwise it will be a free for all the news there a better alternative to envy homelessness crisis. it is the big countdown the ball is going to drop the new year starting resolutions

now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. in two thousand and sixteen the panama papers shocked the world with the tax haven secrets two trillion united states dollars passed through most of conseco in the amount of time that we had that then in the panama papers exposure that's what it shows a lot of money it really is. journalism it's a fact of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. millions of mosaddeq from circa documents were examined. the only people which basically have tried to get an advantage out of this sort of newspaper. and probably other politician which were attacking other politicians the media would
