contribution but he goes on to say something that you mentioned earlier about being a young voice he says i love so black man is a critical voice of a cast of young voices who now traditional clips of expressions and current global music trends with a global caribbean acetic further as a female she's in a lane of her own. so it's a weighty thing but do you see yourself as that young boys who is mixing those two things where no one else's i definitely think so because i think that the problem with the youth it's a problem but it's actually not a problem at the same time is that we are looking for examples and the examples that we have. it's not necessarily we don't know how to recreate it we don't know how to make a brand new again we don't know how to make it trendy like what is happening now and it's like we hear the same thing over and over and over i was just tired of that i love so community and i'm just like why can't i hear something different why why does it sound like the same all song again you know so i felt the need to do

that and i think that now that's inspiring more young people to have their voice and understand that my voice doesn't need to be just like the voices before it can be completely different i can still get true as music or true. that is the perfect transition for us because you say you are not the same old sound my love is going to play a song for us that really brought you into the spotlight it's a twenty seventeen collaboration with musician casts called dark out and while my love affairs for her acoustic version of the hit have a listen to this video comment from richard ram sunder was a sober analyst and a blogger and diversity within the music and the way it's been embraced across the islands and the world i'm always amazed to see how different different types of people from all over the world create their own type of sound. for example.

and could do or daenerys segment and diana they have their own type of same thing in barbados they have some good music just for crowd has music just for spice mouse and st vincent they have their own unique sound for vincent mouse and although in japan japanese so guarded make their own so good music with japanese lyrics for their carnival as well so it's incredible to see the amount of diversity that comes from soco music. so mad does janai lazy. jab may be to maddie to. give you two news. all of which deny them got muddled up you told me. to send me.

a life. love you gave him a bridge stuck on a memo sort of on guns in. the right wrong wrong wrong. and goldwyn. only end up falling around. a little. bit. even if you. need to. see a.

of black people on line no huge loss to you tube and tweets coming in so i'm all cars says milo black when it will be remembered for having a good tar singing live performing in local cafes and bars to create room to define her voice presence and individuality no cakewalk she earned her keep enough respect someone else watching live on you tube writes in a question for you because you feel that women and so if a certain obstacles that her male counterparts don't. technically think so. so is a meal dominated industry i'm actually the first woman in. i could say that a decade tenure is to break true for the insecure and it's because it's so hard the things that women have to go through because all culture where come of all this comes and. music in general it's very over

sexualized. and women feel the pressure to have to do that to get somewhere and it's not fair and a lot of a lot of men take advantage of lads and a lot of women are not strong enough to deal with that and some are we definitely have a means and woman doing it right now. but it's very unfortunate that we would have to go through something like that but a lot of girls have to do with just fight to play their music or to do things in an exchange to get publicity and it's not fair but it's how women are treated in this industry one of the women who's out there doing it is your mom your entire family and. you kind of. how do you resist it i only show a little bit of black men this is nihilist mom.

we. stroll in there oh my goodness what a powerful role model for your mom is doing that but in the way that you put your music videos together you the lyrics are very powerful but also the visuals are very powerful. i'm trying to think of how i say you are smart hot and sexy but you . don't play me about the way women are seen in so here but you are also incredibly sensuous in the way that you present yourself is that not a is that an irony in not or what are you trying to do the thing about it is that i

am not sure that we as i've always been but a lot of women on not and they feel the need to be that way so this gives you an idea of what your usual videos like that and the one thing in here or lotto it's an expression that we see in the caribbean it's like cars like oh my love you know it's just like a sigh of relief you know i mean orlando is. so question here keeping that in mind this is from suck you know who's really excited we're doing the show here says what does she have to say to the critics who disapprove of her style in so for music. what do i have to see to the critics that disapprove of my silence a community. where you know i really don't pay attention to the negativity because there's so much positivity coming at me i mean i'm here today in a very so i don't peer tensions are but i think that

a lot of people are not comfortable it makes them very uncomfortable change they're not comfortable with change because it's not traditional and it's not the way it's been done before they feel uncomfortable and it makes them you know we would see things so wanted to be the same we are and this is this is the sort of fight that my grandfather got when he had created sort of music because what was known or was done was collapse or and that was social commentary and it was it was a lot slower and it wasn't it wasn't like socal saw calypso was very difference and people shunned him for trying to change it and he got a lot of bashed for it but then how much ever years later it's like the biggest thing i ever saw i watch that and i watch a lot of people that go through similar situations in the world and i see that. if you would have no hits as you and pop him. up.

now is. one of the things about where you come from trinidad and tobago is that we see it as like here it's beautiful it's stunning people enjoy carnival but then you take the music form a soca and you talk about some very serious issues and that is a challenge for a lot of because it's so happy the music sallies and you want to dance to it and then you hit them with big boned black grow. so only yourself of your own and own your blackness and how do you make that work for people how does that resonate with people i think it's really. well because not just in the caribbean i mean all over the rule i feel like our system is a problem and. discrimination in general is a problem and there's this idea of beauty and if girls don't fit in that then they

feel insecure. and this is a lot of a winning on your shoulder and i want to tell girls it is a matter how you look you should understand that you have beautiful it doesn't matter the color of your skin it is much of what size if you are small and big x. or big it doesn't matter like you are beautiful in yourself because you are you so thick wrong blackboard like you know people highlights the red bones the yellow bones the everyone but with my black long groovin i mean so i thought it was important to me as a black woman good to see you know which is why we got like this on you tube so for tell stories of our struggle as well not just the partying similar we have to pause you there and to our community you will see you on line and i level player out joined by d.j. spice for a mash up of two of her hit songs by a mommy and soak up the first how to listen to trinidad in journalists gray explain

what makes my life her music so unique. what i think really significant about my life is her voice like when she came out there was a lot of conversation about how unusual hope voice is i mean fact that she's been able to find success in such an exclusive genre the international success i think is really really good i don't think it's as important i think often to city and being able to have your voice in this cultural donna and finding your own success would be the last and final. one. dancing on you know it was

a. lot of the. polls and you'll. likely find. all. the. polls well. this filter. is now. on it's i was gonna lie a little bit among. the sun spot.

half sinky on monday there's been outrage in the united states from both sides of the political spectrum over the controversial summit republican politicians have joined the democrats and intelligence officials in denouncing trump's failure to challenge hootin over interference in the twenty sixteen election standing alongside putin publicly rejected his own intelligence services assessment that russia did in fact meddle in the presidential election he often defended the russian president and repeatedly blamed previous u.s. administrations for the current crisis with russia i want to bring up this tweet from the president just a short while ago he says while i had a great meeting with nato raising vast amounts of money i had an even better meeting with vladimir putin of russia sadly he says it's not being reported the way that it happened the fake news is going crazy let's bring in kimberly hauck at our white house correspondent so kimberly is blaming the fake news media for what went down in his thinking. now there's no question that donald trump characteristically

is fighting back against an overwhelming response to that stunning press conference between the u.s. president and glad amir peretz in the coverage overwhelmingly negative and the criticism from capitol hill both bipartisan and very very critical of the president not surprising from his democratic critics but it is republicans including the speaker of the house paul ryan again today being very clear in terms of where members of congress stand well the speaker of the house paul ryan maintains that they don't believe that russian meddling of the twenty sixteen us election would have changes outcome they are unequivocal that there was russian interference and in fact the u.s. congress should respond by adding further sanctions to restrain russia in the future they did interfere elections it's really clear there should be no doubt about that it's also clear that it didn't have

a material effect on our elections but as a result of that we passed tough sanctions on russia so that we can hold them accountable i understand the desire in the need to have good relations that that's perfectly reasonable but russia is a menacing government that does not share interests and it does not share our values and i think it should be made very very clear. now there are expected to be republicans here at the white house in the coming hours for a previously scheduled tax meeting but assume that this will be the main topic of conversation at least a major part as the republicans continue to discuss their disappointment with the president many believing that he sold out against a u.s. adversary a traditional u.s. adversary but what has been most interesting is there has been no discussion of hearings to restrain the president up to this point with a notable exception the ranking republican bob corker saying in fact that it's time for the u.s. congress to use its authority as it has the legislation to do that and it's time to

vote perhaps to take action against donald trump and i have a comment here on that you know what what's likely to happen from one of our viewers can be our barito on facebook who you know when we asked whether this news conference and you know this meeting with putin could mark a turning point for the presidency alberto says it was a business as usual so are we likely to see any any steps taken by politicians there to try and rein in the president. given that the u.s. congress is currently controlled by republicans the chances of there being strong action seem limited the strongest criticism from members of his own party seems to be from those who are not running for another term what will be notable is the twenty eight thousand congressional elections that take place in november when the people have the chance to weigh in but until that time certainly the white house is in damage control mode we know the talking points have been sent to republican members of congress trying to make the point that donald trump does embrace the

conclusions of his intelligence agencies despite what he said alongside lattimer puton and also that there is the strong belief that there should be a dialogue between the nations something that donald trump has said on twitter but as you point out he is in a mood to fight back he is blaming the news media for the coverage that many people say the the missteps are squarely resting in the hands of the president and the president alone thank you for that kimberly hawke at live for us at the white house in washington let's bring in our social media producer who's been taking a look at the online reaction and media reaction in fact to the trumpet and some of what people want people say there's a lot folly and aside from front pages like this one in the new york daily news there was one particular scene that was making the rounds online that i think summarized the general reaction to that press conference. so this is the scene outside of the white house from president prompt return home

on monday this video and many others like it have been shared in light thousands of times on twitter and these protesters who call themselves occupy lafayette park say they'll be back outside the white house in the coming hours and it's hard to understate how much of a backlash the president is facing here the former cia director john brennan called trump's performance performance rather nothing short of treasonous that's some of the those are some of the strongest words that we've seen since that press conference was held but everyone seems to be timing it including the former governor of california arnold schwarzenegger who posted this on twitter president drum i just saw a press conference with president putin and it was embarrassing i mean you stood there legged little with noodle like a little the fanboy i mean i was asking was when you going to ask him for an autograph of a selfie or something like that i mean you literally sold out the deuce press conference our intelligence community our justice system it was deval country you're the president of the united states you shouldn't do that but what's been

really notable is how trump's own party has openly contradicted him for choosing to believe flattery putin over the u.s. intelligence community this is what republican leader of the senate foreign relations committee had to say. everyone who has dealt with putin understands fully that the best way to deal with them is through stirring and i just felt like the president's comments. made us look as a nation more like a pushover and i was disappointed in that. when he had the opportunity to defend our intelligence agencies who worked for him. i was disappointed i was very disappointed and saddened with the equivalency that he gave between them and what putin was saying some more republican reaction here john mccain and mitt romney have called trump's conduct disgraceful they're two of the most well known

republicans internationally both ran against barack obama for president in two thousand and eight and twenty twelve respectively newt gingrich one of trump's most ardent supporters said he made the most serious mistake of his presidency and senator lindsey graham said the conference will creates far more problems than it solves even fox news who trump has praised often since becoming president criticize his performance at the summit that's what made his before him it's disgusting i'm sorry just another way of feel it's not a right or left thing to be this is wrong or u.s. president on foreign soil talking to our biggest enemy or adversary or competitor right i don't know how we define them these days is essentially letting the guy get away with this and finally not to be left out the late night talk shows also jumped into the fray. today has shaken me to my core. i don't think i need to point out that a sixty four there's not a lot of core last. strongest shocking for formants in this shocking press

conference shocked a shocking number of people so so putin offered to help investigate his own crimes or her own president out of the deal over the years as what an incredible offer but how is this real life if you want to know whether or not has an incriminating video of donald trump we now know beyond a treasonable doubt that he does the ok. thanks . so it's rare to see such unanimous in bipartisan criticism of trump statements but the question now i guess is will that have a lasting impact snell let us know what you think on twitter using the hash tag it in is good while a lot of people letting us know what they think on facebook live andrew knotts of comments on this story patrick says impeachment proceedings should begin immediately nasar on the other hand believes nothing's going to happen he should have been impeached months ago talking about president trump of course nasar says but nothing happened then and nothing will happen now another comment from ellen

also on facebook rival says congress needs to step up trump's actions were outrageous that nato in london and in helsinki and finally one last comment from thomas who says i'm happy to see relations between russia and america normalising thank you very much for all your reactions you can keep coming using the hash tag a.j. news great of course i want to pick this up now with evan secret who is a republican strategist and joins us on the news great via skype from new york thank you so much for speaking to us republicans until now have largely shrugged off feelings with russia do you think this news conference with putin will change that does it take things to a new level and are we going to see some actions from the republicans perhaps. you know eleven months ago donald trump said that during the charlottesville protests there were good people on both sides one of those sides will white supremacists and neo nazis and republicans were just as outraged then as was america as they are now

and they did nothing and this is going to be the same thing what we should do is stand up to president trump and send a clear message that it's bipartisan from the congress and the only way they really can they can hold hearings they can't impose more sanctions they can't set up their own foreign policy because that violates the logan act but they can censure donald trump which is a formal admonition of one of the most severe forms for the behavior and conduct of the president how do they do that i mean you know just reading some of the president's tweets right now he doesn't seem to be fazed by any of this criticism he seems to think that he can weather this storm as well you know what what action should politicians take that will resonate with the president. well it would have to be the century and the president is counting on the fact that republicans who always speak out against him are either going and retiring because they are going

to have to face the voters in november or they are going to do so very quietly or pretend like they didn't you're the question well so yes rush is an adversary of ours of course and we trust the intelligence community but they won't criticize trump himself directly what is so trump is banking on the fact that the news cycle will change within two to three days and he'll be able to talk about other things right that are related to this and it'll move on and that's what happened after charlottesville and it probably will happen now but again they wanted to send a real clear message it's got to be dissension because it's extraordinary where it's extraordinarily serious and with a man who has the ego the size of government trot who wants to go down in history as the greatest president that there ever was the greatest thing to happen the united states and its founding it would be a severe blemish that he couldn't come up with any spray tan. i'm sorry out i haven't i have an interesting comment here from one of our i guess from one

of us i should say christine who says paul ryan will try to turn this to his advantage my didn't he sound presidential talking about what we heard just a short while ago from paul ryan who do you think stands to benefit from this scandal if it doesn't go away you know what's the fallout likely to be politically inside the u.s. . inside the us we're already a divided nation who is at each other's throats camps people like trump and people who don't know there really is an in-between and they're at each other's throats constantly the real person who benefits if black america is successfully sewn discord and cause the united states to weaken itself to not stand up for america and its values back donald trump has never set up for america and its values right the thing about america that it makes that envy of the world all over is that we have freedoms that people are fighting and dying for every single day people in

north korea the oppressed people of the world they want to live just like we did and we've had previous presidents of both parties talk about it ronald reagan called it a shining city on a hill and don't trot past these very values and notions ok he's never been able to call america great let me just it just says it's always been a bat that we just put to you one last question from of your ways here evan and you know this has been every current one over the last few months and perhaps. more so in the last twenty four hours or so what could president putin have on donald trump to make him behave this way well there is the thought about he has this docile of some sort of illicit activity in a st petersburg hotel room but there's also the thought that president putin who is a master manipulator and a trained k.g.b. operative understands the psychology of donald trump donald trump craves approval

and to be worshiped and that's what vladimir putin does he engages in psychological head games with world leaders who saw it on the merkel when he met with her a few years ago she's notoriously terrified of dogs and as a power play he brought his dog into the meeting at the same time you see vladimir putin realizing that donald trump craves attention flattery and will do anything for bill so.
