i'm a star and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. we will recognise that space is a new war funding domain the us president unveils his country's most ambitious missile defense plan since the end of the cold war. two more people are killed in the latest anti-government protests ensued on the united nations and the e.u. calling for restraint. plus celebrating one hundred years of bauhaus the radical german art movement that is just as relevant today as it was then. a political stalemate in washington has forced the don't the don't trump administration to scrap its presence as a meeting of the world's most powerful leaders in switzerland trump had already canceled his trip to the world economic forum in davos but is now scrapped the entire delegation meanwhile he's stepped up his attack on his political rival and

house speaker nancy pelosi has canceled her upcoming trip to brussels afghanistan and egypt saying she should stay for negotiations on the government shutdown pelosi suggested trump to delay his planned state of the union address if the impost doesn't end this week of this senseless shutdown is inflicting great pain and every part of our country every day the impacts impacts spread reaching the lives of hardworking americans these are the people who deliver services to the american people. we should respect what they do for our country many of them are veterans who have translated their military patriotism into civilian patriotism working for the going. out of there as mike hanna is live for us from washington d.c. like president trying can still nancy pelosi trip seeming at the last minute but

now has also canceled the trip to dallas his whole delegation indeed here so it just shows the depth of concern and the mounting pressure on president trump as this shutdown enters its fourth week twenty seven days of the partial shutdown has been in place now the action against nancy pelosi was very sudden she was leading a delegation on an overseas trip they were on the bus to the airport when an executive letter turned the bus around and they had to return to the capitol now in the last hour we've heard president trump has decided that none of his delegation will go to the world economic forum in davos he had earlier announce that he would not be going but he's now extended this to the entire delegation now the house speaker maintains that she suggested that the state of the union address be postponed because of security concerns making clear that many of the workers who are forced to leave work conducting security for such an occasion and that as the

speaker of the house she could not care until the security of all of those who would attend a state of the new union address but it just goes to show the fractious relationship between house democrats and the president is getting worse and worse no signs whatsoever of any compromise to try and end this partial shutdown my president trying to scaley under a lot of pressure to resolve this shutdown now it's the twenty seventh day but is there realistically any kind of end in size. well it's very difficult to see what the end game is given the obdurate positions of the parties involved president trump continues to insist he wants money for his wall democrats in congress insists that he's simply not going to get it the democrats control the house there is no way that any legislation including the wall funding for the war could go through congress and as well the republicans controlled senate they have made very clear

that they will not pass any legislation any funding bill that does not have presidential support the key many would believe it's in the senate if senate republicans backed down off this position and allow the legislation to go through it would throw the way to a decision on to the president himself opinion polls show that the majority of americans believe that president trump is responsible for this ongoing shutdown and certainly this is one of the factors that could play a very strongly in the days ahead in persuading the president to reach some form of compromise out of there as mike hanna with that update for us from washington d.c. thank you mike well for u.s. president on trying to space is the new battleground trump says he wants to explore space based weaponry that could shoot down enemy missiles he's made the announcement while unveiling a new defense strategy because as patty culhane reports from the pentagon cost and

technology could put brakes on trunk space missions for decades american presidents have dreamed of creating the missile shield over america from ronald reagan's star wars to today u.s. president don't turn promising a full scale modernization of the military's missile defense systems but he's taking it further literally into space we will recognize that space is a new world striding domain with the space course leading the way. my upcoming budget will invest in a space based missile defense layer. new technology it's ultimately going to be a very very big part of our defense and obviously. offense that would be a shift felt worldwide but some experts were quick to point out what the president promised is not actually in the pentagon plan review itself says the united states

is very interested in seeking a third layer in space so satellites that could observe missile launches and detect them sooner but there isn't any mention of putting weapons in space yeah pentagon said that it was you another study over the next six months or the usability of that idea this sounds like science fiction and it would be exceedingly expensive they want to come up with a laser with the technology doesn't exist yet that they could put on drones to potentially shoot down missiles as they're being a lot so how much would all of that cost well there was a briefing here at the pentagon with senior officials the question was asked over and over again and they refused to answer. bottom line it's easy for the president to make big promises but the pentagon as a backdrop getting money to do it well that's a much harder thing to do particularly al jazeera the pentagon colombia's president even decay a says those responsible for a car bomb attack on a police academy will not go unpunished at least ten people were killed in the

biggest attack on a police and military facility in the capital and more than a decade the vehicle packed with explosives that was driven into the academy grounds and then blew up shattering the windows of apartments in the area around the building no one has claimed responsibility for what the government has called a terrorist attack. only. colombia united against terrorism i convey to the families of victims and to the national police my soul the territory and that of all colombians. this is an attack on an academic center where young people and unarmed students were this is an attack not only against the young the security forces or the police if an attack against society this demented terrorist act will not go unpunished. he was at the scene of the attack and sent this up to. miss attorney general's office and the police continue investigating this scene of the explosion here at the general center and their police academy in the south of.

the attorney general says that they are now identified the man that was driving the s.u.v. the car bomb was used to kill ten people and injured another sixty five according to the latest information from the colombian ministry of defense the attorney general is also investigating the car that was used for attack they say that the car was registered and had received just a few months ago it's late this mechanical revision that's a region close to the border with venezuela where a number of different criminal groups operate among them are national liberation army which is a. rebel group but that's still an active the only rebel group still active in. there's no doubt that this attack being the worst that

a colombian has seen in almost a decade will rattle many a nerve for here in the capital and across the country colombians are eager to turn the page on their history of violence but it seems like that dark past might be creeping back. activists in sudan say to. people have been killed and confrontations between police and protesters thousands of people marched across several cities for yet another day of anti-government demonstrations demanding the president's resignation but omar al bashir remains defiant from khartoum his head the morgan with more. freedom peace and justice these have been the demands of protesters for nearly a month along with a demand for sudan's president omar al bashir to end his nearly three decades in office and step down the call even though you're still in one i don't know what our demands are the demands of everyone and god willing we will continue in
