it's difficult to impossible on the science that often solutions it's very easy for us to have a hundred percent recycled material techno on al-jazeera. this is al jazeera and live from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha . welcome to the news. asks americans to greatness the u.s. president gave his second state of the union address just weeks after the longest shut down in history and called for political unity to solve america's problem question is can there be unity with a divisive president and a divided congress also one good the next chapter in the fight against the u.s.

secretary of state might. meeting of the global coalition to defeat their ministers from seventy nine countries attending because even though the u.s. wants to get out of syria the threat of us is still very and in venezuela the aides just can't get in we're going to look at the politics of humanitarian assistance in venezuela maduro thinks it's all a ploy to let the u.s. in his forces that have blocked a bridge coming in from colombia. and pay politicians are calling on social media sites to be held accountable today uses when explaining how i'm here to monitor. the hash tag. in the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live in an al-jazeera dot com he is one of the most divisive presidents in u.s. history but donald trump has used his state of the union address to call for unity

but really what chance after the longest government shutdown after coming up against a democratic house for the first time and with the debate over a border wall still going unity may be an elusive goal for a man who prides himself on getting the deal done lots to discuss and fact checking to do as well but going to start with might have a report from washington d.c. . much has changed in the stranger since president trump last spoke here sitting next to the vice president a new speaker nancy pelosi has been locked in a power struggle with the president since the democratic party took over the house and acknowledging this the president called for political. together we can break decades of political stalemate. we can bridge all divisions heal old wounds build new coalitions but on the issue that led to the partial

shutdown no sign of any compromise the president adamant that his demand for a barrier remains unchanged congress has ten days left to pass a bill that will fund our government protect our homeland and secure our very dangerous southern border if you can understand your pain calling on victims of crime by what he called an illegal alien to back his argument simply put walls work and walls save lives so let's work together compromise and reach a deal that will truly make america safe. a standing ovation from the republican side. while democrats wearing white in honor of women's rights stayed in this seats it is time to give our brave warriors in syria a warm welcome home on foreign policy in defense of his unilateral decisions to

pull troops out of syria the claim that he's averted a major war with north korea announcing another summit with the north korean leader will take place in vietnam at the end of this month. and despite calling for unity from picking on an issue that is highly divisive to defend the dignity of every person i am asking congress to pass legislation to prohibit the late term abortion. thanks thanks thanks. and example of issues that democrats contend are seized upon by the president with the intent of division this is a point brought up in the opposition response given by the democratic party's rising star stacey abrahams the shutdown was a stunt engineered by the president of the united states one that defied every tenet of fairness and abandoned not just our people but our values the one moment

of real unity came when president trump left his prepared script we also have more women serving in congress then at any time to do with republicans and democrats alike burst into applause but the vast majority of women are on the democratic side in terms of gender and race it's the most diverse democratic party caucus in congress tional history and despite a writ bipartisan moment it would appear this side of the house were a main intent on fighting the president every step of the way my kind of i'll just share a washington. so lots of us already got in touch with us on facebook live in his ass does he believe donald trump does he believe the words he's saying does he want unity unity for whom let's put that to john hendren he's in chicago for us on the newsgroup where people have been reacting to the president's speech hi john it's

a good question isn't it unity for who. welcome as you heard in my cannas story that speech was not received in a completely positive manner and what is really the most divided chamber on a partisan level that i've seen in my lifetime and i covered the clinton years when that president was impeached and analysts have also called it the most partisan speech in years but here's an interesting thing that is not how the american public perceive that speech there's been a number of instant polls that came out and most of them say seventy to seventy five percent of the american people perceive that speech positively they thought it was a good and positive speech and in one poll one by c.b.s. a local network here seventy two percent of the american public agreed with president trump stance on immigration now that's striking because that is way more than actually agree with him on the immigration policies they apparently like the

way he presented his immigration ideas and they apparently liked that call for unity but you don't have to hear it from me i'm sitting here with paul mckinley he is a resident of chicago once ran for congress here he's been speaking today as a voter and you might be surprised by some of the things he has to say let me just ask you paul what did you think of president trump's speech and his speech lurks in the speech definitely don't do mass incarceration of african-americans on the streets and i think you deal with. when the president barack obama is in athens you know we don't want to stop there just visions were were a rare received in black community and that's the perspective that that you want to take here right i mean has this feature of the president's policies affect black people here in america. what do you think what do you think about what he had to say and what stacy abrams the democrat who offered the democratic response

afterwards what you think about what each of them had to say while force of one of them didn't the president was on him when he was doing them the. part of a mouse across roads and what he was doing and what the immigration and immigration argument in our community is massive tons of crack cocaine that was provided and i communed the violence to end the epidemic of violence could've been escalated without these totals so what he's talking amount of monist in the community is dealing with the souls the other candidates don't deal with the want to make it an argument they blame the victim they blame the victim you should have been selling droom but had to draw if you stopped at the border they couldn't have a so you like is immigration policies because what he's trying to do is to stop people and drugs coming from what used to be colombia during the crack here and now mostly mexico right well the black community and loans knows that and has been saying that in records and in and different johns rooms that they we know how

planes we don't go from calls the poles we don't we're on the boat but for some reason crack cocaine or heroin one of the fit no one of them on my block so he's definitely doing of wood and the other candidates are not and just real quickly what's the result here on the streets of chicago a city it's got a real drug problem you see what happens in the neighborhood you're an activist what are the results of all those drugs here well i'm from mondo london oh we'll chapal and a forest when i dumped it eight tons of crack cocaine in that community the community is ravaged and it was done in a canal in two dead first to do a mass incarceration law but yet child would never get arrested until trial got in office. paul mckinley i want to thank you for talking to us and giving us your question their moves that the view from here in chicago and really similar to the view we're hearing all across the country and it's dramatically different from what

a lot of the analysts views are among thank you john hendren in chicago mamadou on facebook was asked we saw nancy pelosi applauding donald trump is it real or sarcastic stay with us mom to have a watch of this because we saw just at the end of mike hanna support the women in white and i do want to go back to that for a moment these are a lot of the new female members of congress who chose to wear white as a nod to the suffragette movement as you say and i love this picture they stand out there in a sea of men in dark suits and women in dark suits and they had quite a moment when donald trump began talking about employment and women you heard some of it in mike's report is a little more no one has benefited more from a thriving to me then women who have filled fifty eight percent of the newly created jobs last year. thanks

i don't sit yet you know like this i am exactly one century after congress passed the constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote. we also have more women serving in congress then that any time and she was. thank you ok so there you go you know when everyone starts chanting usa usa that there is broad consensus on whatever the topic is a lot of people real saw this as

a bipartisan moment in a divided house but from a trump's comments on women in the past weren't forgotten nancy pelosi herself tweeted will be before the speech tonight are democratic women wear white in support of women's rights in spite of their protests a president who doesn't and it was also noted in the balcony of congress that while donald trump's wife melania and daughter ivanka were dressed in black his other daughter tiffany chose to wear the same striking white as all those women down stairs which now leads us on to more of donald trump and his habit shall we say retailer of stretching the truth you've been doing some fact checking for us yes so let's go through some of what we found so far while house speaker nancy pelosi tweeted saying that it would take days to fact check all than this representation is made by the u.s. president but here's what we found when it comes to the economy trump said his administration launched an unprecedented economic boom creating five point three million new jobs and six hundred thousand in manufacturing but that all started in two thousand and nine after the financial crisis and seven years before his

election the economy has expanded on the tram but it follows a trend that began under former president barack obama and immigration was also a major theme of the speech trump has pushed hard for his border wall with make mexico since taking office in twenty sixteen but the wall itself has changed from a concrete structure to a steel bear. which democrats refused to back trump did say he wants people to come to the u.s. in large numbers but they have to come in legally now this report by politico indicates that the trumpet ministration has made moves to crack down on the legal immigration system to policy changes have made it harder for employers to hire foreign workers and the number of visas issued have also reduced and arrests along the u.s. border with mexico continue to rise and when it comes to foreign policy a lot of attention was on iran and the nuclear deal trump singled out iran as a radical regime emphasizing that the u.s.

has the strongest sanctions but european countries such as germany and france have refused to comply with u.s. policy on iran a stance which could hinder american sanctions the u. states that have actually created now a workaround that allows them to continue doing business with the islamic republic and finally north korea trump said if i had not been elected president of the united states we would right now in my opinion be in a major war with north korea now this is sparked a strong reaction on line many a thinking that north korea's reason for holding on to its nuclear weapons is for survival of the regime and while it's trying to view that his actions are stopping a war there is no hard evidence to prove that or not to get your thoughts on the state of the union address tweet us is that tag age in his court thinks we're going to stay with north korea just a moment longer because during his address donald trump announced plans for a second meeting with kim jong un it'll be over two days in vietnam beginning

february twenty seventh donna from praise his relationship with chairman kim as he called him during the state of the union but remember the singapore summit last year where we saw these pictures it was criticized for not actually yielding any concrete commitments and critics are still skeptical that this summit would actually lead to anything more like north korea giving up its nuclear ambitions. even partial denuclearization or freezing it's a better then all chipping nothing just though waiting for ever for north korea to agree on complete denuclearization which is almost impossible right let's wrap it all up with henry also now he's a senior fellow at the ethics and public policy center a think tank based in washington d.c. it is nice to see you henry let's start with actually what we start with what we just heard there about north korea don't try this next summit which is to come i mean any thoughts about what might be achieved with that given that the critics have said that not a lot was really achieved the last time despite what donald trump said in his

speech well i think that those are the sort of things that we'll find out that obviously secretary pompei o. and others have been negotiating roza are behind the scenes to try and bring about a successful summit clearly they think that they've made enough progress to justify bringing their principles together for face to face meeting. whether or not chairman kim decides to give up his nuclear weapons or move on that presumably there's been enough progress that that's made the americans think that they can go forward but only time can tell it's quite clear that he would only give up his weapons under the most favorable circumstances and we don't know if the president of the united states is willing to do that ok so let's go back into the overriding theme of the state of the union which was unity cross party cooperation what if you'd like to call it that in itself is not a surprise that is what presidents have to call for especially when they've got

a divided house do you think in the coming twelve months there is a path toward some sort of unity given you've got and i said it at the start of the show one of the most divisive presidents in history and a divided house. i think it's very unlikely that they'll be unity in the house i think that the democratic party wants to remove president trump but president's from his audience wasn't really the people in the house president's trump audience is the people who are going to decide whether to continue that division and remove him or not the american voter and i think that what we're going to see is if the president is wise a continuation of that pain so that he presents himself to the american people as somebody who's willing to meet the opposition halfway and consequently ratchets up the poll pressure on the democrats to meet him halfway the success of a speech like this is not in the moment but it's actually and what he does in the months following to change public opinion if he's successful in persuading americans that he is genuinely willing to meet democrats halfway then that puts the

democrats in a strategic quandary but without that no cooperation continued battle think i'm eating half way let's put that to the test then with the most pressing issue and that is border security and the border awol will steal flats or whatever it might end up being can you see a half way point there given donald trump doesn't want to back down on the wall and the democrats just don't want to give him the money for the with the halfway point that well you know what the nancy pelosi has said is that they might be willing to give them some normandy style fencing. and i think what the president would need to do well i think what it means is more barbed wire and shorter fencing as opposed to the long steel flaps or concrete wall that he would seem to prefer i think the president would be wise to take that sort of a deal but say that i want more and we'll have continued discussion over this but in order to keep the american government going and serve the american people we'll

take what he can get and fight for more i think the president would be wise to do that but we'll see whether or not he does. just watching the pictures of donald trump moving through the congress last night shaking hands with people he. was don't want to ask this but i'm still going to go there because a lot of the time after these sorts of big speeches there is this moment about oh has he been presidential he did he looked like a president i mean two years into a presidency i guess we shouldn't really be having to ask that but did he did he pull it off as far as the speech goes i think that the speech was one of the better speeches he's given but again the proof is going to be in a lot follows that the president's first two years have been marked by some very excellent speeches and then continued twitter wars and division if the president can make this speech a leitmotif of his ongoing administration so that he can convince the american people that he's not a jungle fighter he's somebody who's willing to reach across the aisle then i think

things change but if we go back to the standard operating procedure in seven days then it'll be like the other speeches a nice speech a nice moment for the president and back to business as usual and real sort of enjoyed talking to you about this thank you so much for your time. thank you. and if you want to get in touch with us do so do so. ok jay newsgroup just quickly i mentioned before mamadu is asking about the hand clapping by nancy pelosi you saw a little bit of it in that clip there but there's also another moment where she sort of very sarcastically claps for donald trump if you go to my twitter that come out you'll see the explaining video about that facebook dot com such as here is where we're getting a lot of the questions from tonight rain is looking for your responses there plus nine seven four five one triple one four nine pop that number in your mobile telegram and whatsapp directly with us let us move on to the global coalition against eisel which is meeting in washington d.c. leaders from seventy nine countries discussing the next steps of the campaign

against arsenal in iraq and syria talks being hosted by the u.s. secretary of state mike on peo who says the u.s. will remain committed to the fight despite the planned u.s. withdrawal from syria. we're going to talk more about this in a moment but i just want to show you this is an awesome handy thing to have a look at al-jazeera dot com from the interactive team defeating eisel it creates a timeline as you scroll down i'm actually going to fire straight past that just time that's videos which show you all about who controls what map and show you how much i still has been. you know its territory has been brought down this is just mosul as an example as black areas shrinking and shrinking and shrinking just some really good background information for the whole fight against i so how much money it's been bringing how many fighters in the whole timeline of its well demise really we talk about it tomorrow but we've got rosalynn jordan here at the state department to talk a little bit more about this and i guess that's the thing you can't afford to think about it as i still being defeated or gone because the chance of it coming back is

still quite strong. rosalynn that's come out here can you hear me. hi kemal i can hear you now on the i think you were asking about whether or not the administration is moving too quickly to withdraw its forces out of syria after what the president calls an resound in defeat eisel or isis as they are calling it in the trunk in the streets and there is real concern from both republicans and democrats that the administration may be moving too quickly and in fact we have seen yet again another piece of legislation being passed by the u.s. senate on tuesday essentially condemning the administration's plans to withdraw all u.s. forces from both syria and afghanistan because of the concerns about the ongoing

abilities of isis and al qaeda and other such groups to regenerate and to wreak havoc on those countries once again however at the opening remarks out for the. meeting here at the state department on wednesday the secretary of state underscored people's concerns about the planned troop pullout from syria and explained why it is the u.s. wants to do this this is my comp a.o. the us secretary of state the drawdown of troops is essentially a tactical change it is not a change in the mission it does not change the structure design or authorities on which the campaign has been based. it simply represents a new stage in an old fight the drawdown will be well coordinated and a policy approach to syria have remained unchanged. now the seventy nine

ministers are in a closed door plenary session to talk about the way forward as they try to like white belt isis and al qaeda and other affiliated groups once and for all we will see a brief family photo during the lunch hour but at a three o'clock local time twenty g.m.t. we expect to hear from the president donald trump himself about the u.s. his commitment to getting rid of isis and other groups in the middle east and to lead protecting countries from of the threat that these groups pose it is a highly anticipated speech given that this will be the president's first opportunity to speak face to face with foreign ministers a belt of the change in u.s. tactics they say underscore tactics not a change in the u.s. strategy that speech nine hundred forty five g.m.t. on al-jazeera will be there for us thank you meanwhile a senior u.s.

general is calling for an investigation into allegations that american weapons are falling into the hands of al qaeda in yemen the head of central command general joseph votel raise the concerns to a senate committee it was after a c.n.n. investigation which accuses saudi arabia and the u.a.e. of transferring weapons to armed groups in yemen we have not authorized saudi arabia or the emirates to transfer any of this equipment to other parties on the ground in in yemen and as you are well aware when we do provide equipment whether comes government to government or commercially provided. that the recipients do have to agree to certain stipulations on the use of those. with us on skype now pete of us a man who is the senior researcher at sipri that is the stock on international peace research institute it's nice to see if they do we often talk to you when your global arms report comes out every year with the research you do for that is this

situation of arms falling into the hands of al qaeda is that something you've been noticing already one of them and i'm not very surprised that the so-called comes out now it is know already much longer that the u.a.e. and saudi arabia have been supplying weapons to different militias in yemen after for that matter also in syria and libya so that we now find very clear evidence that weapons also and in the hands of all or more extreme militias including those related to al qaida it's not surprising at all surprising to us more that the united states department of defense now seems to make sure that. what's interesting because it's almost takes away some of the sides if you like in the war in yemen particularly because if american weapons are being used by the

saudis and the u.a.e. and al qaeda and rebel groups i mean as i say that it takes away the who's on whose side is there any way to stop the sort of thing happening or is it just coming down to what humans decide to do. i think if you supply weapons to militia group you should assume that they go too loose some are even many of them and these militia groups are not always nice and trained in the same way as the more professional armies of the united states itself and of course we have to remember that also the united states at times has lost weapons so ready so if you if you go further down and it kind kind of the hierarchy you can say you are the risk but you're actually going to lose those weapons too to your real opponents and it's very significant ok but taking a step back from what's happening on the on the battlefield the the sales of these arms that are very unlikely to change isn't it i mean when that comes down to this is what we discuss with your and your report it's just business isn't it selling

arms. yes i don't think that the united states is going to punish the usa usa eurabia by significantly i restricting arms sales to these two major research be ends of the united states where weapons i mean saudi arabia accounts for a very significant share of u.s. arms exports and also you u.a.e. they are they belong to the most important is that. recipients of u.s. arms and there are significant sums of money involved and of course both are also very important and i switch to united states does not want want to lose the development from cypriots always good talking to you thank you. to venezuela now and the politics of humanitarian aid the self declared leader one says he is trying to coordinate the arrival of some much needed aid however president nicolas maduro says delivering assistance is just

a ruse to allow the united states to come and overthrow him however his right doctors say medicine shipments just can't come soon enough to race about has that story from caracas. employee said this maternity hospital in the capital caracas say they are in desperate need of aid they say their hospital urgently needs basic medicines and medical equipment they say the venezuelan government shouldn't get in the way of international aid entering the country. only this hospital had the best doctors the base nurses the best of everything and now we are seeing a complete deterioration with shortages of medicine food for patients and cleaning products the self declared interim president why though says the president. is illegitimate he's pushing for legislation in the opposition controlled national assembly to be passed to remove the roadblocks on humanitarian aid members of the national assembly say that they would like to create a humanitarian corridor composed of n.g.o.s religious groups and doctors that will

allow the aid to reach those who need it the most but it won't be easy because the government says that the humanitarian aid is a political show by the opposition that will allow the united states to intervene in the country where. he's in charge of coordinating the push for aid in the national assembly he says is wrong. it is not only the united states that is involved it is the leymah group that meeting canada nobody can cite justin trudeau is the extreme right or pretty dress cinches in spain i want to seem to miss it to the world being as wireless constitutional order is broken one legislative elections and i took our wife from us we asked for a referendum and they did not want it do not want to get out of our what we are offering is not a liberation army just the ability to choose our future and a new election in the same building but in another room met the rival constituent

assembly the legislative body created by the government to years ago to redraft the constitution now it is proposing to. call for legislative elections to replace the opposition controlled by a man whose mandate expires next year you know he said you're going to go to the opposition want to listen so we could cause a legislative elections because parliament is controlled by the extreme right that staging a coup they are the only power that has not been revalidated recently. and that sentiment was shared by supporters of. who surrounded the national assembly building during the session. one who either wants a chair then he can buy it at the store because here no one will loan to sit on the presidential seat a political crisis where nobody really knows how or when it is going to end. meanwhile there is a problem at the border venezuela's military has blocked the bridge that the aid

shipment was expected to cross it is called the ten the bridge that spans the river which is the border with colombia as we come right down you will see it straight across the border there and if it is move across the sea the sort of processing terminals that's on the venezuelan side and this is on the colombian side so this is a major facility and if we just have a look at the pictures now you'll see the opposition which is a truck and a shipping container they have a are we used to block the bridge united states says it is sent food supplies to colombia. and other countries have. now what else do i want to show you talk to al-jazeera let's have a look at that the latest edition of talked about a zero which features the man of the moment one in conversation with our latin america editor lizzy newman a full sit down interview which is well worth the watch if you have the time alyse or of course as a veteran of latin american journalism the perfect person to interview one right or

you can find talk to our desire in the show's section. at al-jazeera dot com. this is the news great interview with us on facebook live about a story for you now about a syrian refugee using her cooking skills to save lives back hard but it's my friends at a bus and then later lawmakers in the u.k. trying to introduce new rules to redefine the way in which we use social media. hello again it's good to have you back we are going to see some messy conditions coming across the levant over the next day if you take a look out here towards the west notice that big system coming in off the mediterranean now that is also bring some gusty winds down towards the south but it's bringing some wet and also winter conditions appear towards the north and especially in the higher elevations so look for some rain as it makes its way

towards the east and as we go towards friday we are going to be seeing that move a little bit more towards baghdad also over here towards tehran and then down here across parts of saudi arabia towards the back end of it we are going to be seeing the winds continue across much of the sinai peninsula and into the red sea well that same system we are going to be watching very carefully because we do expect to see rain showers in the clouds over the next few days so medina thirty one degrees on thursday and as that system pushes through there's the rain coming into play over here towards rio it is going to be a warm day if you with a temperature of twenty five degrees and then down here across parts of southern africa it's still going to be quite wet up here towards the north a little bit dry down here across much of the south so for cape town with all of a sudden in your forecast we do expect to see a high temperature a few about thirty degrees there derbent at about twenty seven degrees and as we go towards friday a little bit more rain for johannesburg with a temperature of twenty six.

a face can tell a story without uttering a single word. and knowing gone. can guide us. a simple touch inform us. the unconventionality of life witness through the lens of the human nine. is what inspires us. witness documentaries on al-jazeera. our jews in iran and. where every.

the headlines from al-jazeera dot com and what's trending as well the breakdown of the state of the union speeches

a lot of coverage there. what is the degree to find the job crisis on demoting some interesting reporting coming out of india there as well so keep an eye on what you thought see that is what's trending this way i don't as they would. like the internet it was. yesterday tuesday now though we're hearing about some interesting developments to do how that could be achieved there is a possibility in the u.k. of a new online law which would change how social media is defined and therefore how it's treated this is really interesting interesting stuff has been taking a look at it for us that's right kemal aside from safer internet day child's mental health week is also being as observed in the united kingdom one of the main topics being discussed is the creation of a policy that could classify social media sites as publishes rather than ordinary internet platforms and the idea is to haul social media. accountable for

influencing any harm on children and teenagers and the u.k. parliament science and technology committee is suggesting what can be done to protect young people online the committee published reports days after the father of fourteen year old molly russell directly blamed instagram for her death several posts about self harm and suicide were found in her instagram account and many on twitter are supporting the calls for tighter regulation the minister for east devon he goes why it says social media firms are publishes and should be held accountable to the content they make available and mel thresher the founder of a london based think tank on social change and leadership as well as an innovation says very much the same thing now britain's health secretary matt hancock shared this letter addressing the social media companies he discussed money story and says research shows suicidal people search the internet for suicide methods and he plans

to launch an online awareness campaign highlighting the tools that parents can use to limit their children's screen time well others in the u.k. are also taking action this week to spread awareness about the dangers of suicide and self harm more than two hundred shoes were left outside the st george's hole in liverpool to represent the number of children who have taken their lives in twenty seventeen or want to get your starts on the stories to do tweet us use the hash tag eighteen is great thanks we're here we've got year cohen joining us now to talk about as a lawyer specializing in internet law and social media all through of the book the net is closing birth of the police nice to see you you first of all what are your thoughts on this idea first of all that we could possibly or in the u.k. at least treat facebook and twitter and all of these social media platforms as publishers because they do publish stuff it's just that they've got millions if not billions of office. the reality is they do both they they do publish stuff on their

own platform but also they act is distributer off a silly tator of our reading of the material well what's been happening from the very early days of the internet is that people have been. made to to treat the internet as a separate planet altogether is if we have two societies we have the offline society which is very heavily regulated and policed and the online society where there's no policing at all whatsoever and the idea was to allow internet companies to regulate themselves and over over time internet companies decided that they should really be regulating themselves and allow users to post whatever they want however they want in with any consequences might follow and i think that the time is now running out for internet companies because what the u.k.

government at least is saying is saying look you know you're all profiting. substantially from so-called unlimited free speech and what are your responsibilities other than pocketing the profit out of other people's misery and the government now wants to hold you to account is it floored as well in the sense that you could have a more in the u.k. but then as you say well it's planet internet isn't it it's all over the world and that a law which governs in the u.k. i wouldn't necessarily apply to people posting from overseas yet it could still affect people in the u.k. i don't see how it can work. only only. ten years ago many people believed that music music was dead in a sense then it was impossible to to regulate the distribution of music because it was freely available on the internet there was all those cross dress diction all

issues and what the government did is he introduced laws. in relation to take down notices about about a music that has been distributed under lawfully and then the government had other government joining in such as in the us and the rest of hero in the we have a very strict laws governing copyright of music the same happen we did child pornography in childish dacian. up until again about ten years ago it was considered impossible to regulate that area you know suddenly it is very heavily regulated in it i mean these two areas which are completely distinct copyright and in childish but they show and. prove to us all that even the reason we it is absolutely possible to create crossed jurisdictional regulations of

the internet fascinating stuff yeah cohen thank you for joining us do appreciate an interesting episode of up front here as well very boldly titled is facebook ruining the world perhaps a little harsh to lump it all on facebook from matthew house and spoke to john who as a silicon valley pioneer he wrote the book ten arguments for deleting your social media right now so we know where he's coming from a great watch as upfront always as you'll find it in the show section at al-jazeera dot com. we're going to look at some other stories making news around the world and in fact some developing news out of turkey these are live pictures from istanbul where an eight story building has collapsed now the information i've got here fourteen apartments in the building up to forty three residence and there are reports of one person being killed the governor in the area saying that apparently the top three floors of the building were built illegally so that's happened in istanbul we're keeping an eye on that there is some pretty harrowing pictures which

will show you at some point security cameras of the building absolutely collapsing at its moment but this is live pictures from istanbul where chaos on the streets as an eight story building has collapsed there are reports of at least one person being killed some other news israel is pushing ahead with plans for a major expansion of settlements in the occupied west bank senior ministers have signed a declaration promising to eventually double the number of settlers how we force that with more now from west jerusalem. well this pledge coming in the form of a sort of personal loyalty pledge signed by extremely senior figures within the ruling the could party signifies a couple of things that signifies a right would move within mainstream likud opinion where what would have been seen as a pretty radical plan for expanding israeli settlements in the occupied west bank the illegal settlements that are there now have a few hundred thousand jewish settlers in the maybe four hundred thousand in the occupied west bank another three hundred fifty thousand in east jerusalem it shows

how far right they could as moved under benjamin netanyahu and indeed how far right the mainstream of israeli politics has moved but it also signifies the period that we are in at the moment two months out from an election on the ninth of april there is a lot of effort being made to try to court right wing votes which might otherwise go to the smaller more extreme parties and also an opportunity to define the could against the man who has come to challenge benjamin netanyahu in perhaps a stronger way than many expected the former israeli army chief benny gantz who has set up a new party is occupying the center ground while trying to make his right wing credentials also as obvious as possible this is a way for could mainstream politicians to say that he's actually too soft on the issue of settlements that he may well try to engineer some kind of withdrawal despite his talk about strengthening settlements at least in the blocks around jerusalem this is also

a question as to whether it will ever become israeli government policy well one thing that isn't on this list is that of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu if he were to make it israeli policy are to the election given that he wins that election then that would be something which could derail the already very tenuous u.s. peace plan he's made a great deal of his friendship with donald trump jury in the course of this campaign already presumably he one would want to undermine his plan in that way but the wider question is whether this does signal a direction of travel for israeli politics and a potential policy for a future israeli government. the president of the european council says there should be a special place in hell for those who promoted brags that without a plan donald comments have been criticized in the u.k. by politicians who are in favor of leaving me you could criticize the break that campaign is having no understanding of how the u.k. could actually leave the bloc prime minister theresa may she has been visiting belfast though and paul brennan is there for us we're fifty one days away now from

britain leaving the european union at the least that's what the march the twenty ninth deadline remains in place says three some may the u.k. prime minister's been here in belfast for the past two days meeting business leaders community leaders and today politicians to try to get a sense of what they will accept in relation to her plans to go back to brussels or renegotiate elements of the withdrawal agreement but in many ways the big action on wednesday has been in brussels where the other is to have a right because been meeting the president of the european council donald tusk such is the level of exasperate in brussels that less than two months from deadline day it seems the previous two years of negotiations have been in vain there was some extremely undiplomatic language from donald tusk which really belies the frustration that he's feeling let's have a listen at the shock and i have spoken about the necessary actions in case of the

. i know that you will also be discussing this shocking with the european commission. by the way and i've been wondering what that special place. in her looks like for those who promoted great feat. result even a shock kitchell for plan how to carly it's safely now those incendiary comments have quite predictably caused a reaction certainly from breakfast supporting m.p.'s and journalists in london but let's just have a little look at a video clip as they stood up to leave you can just about hear an exchange between layover i guess and donald tusk where they almost anticipate the reaction that's coming let's have a look at this. if you like. now let's bring it back to where i'm standing in belfast which is where the prime

minister has been she's going to brussels on thursday but the purpose of her visit here is a try to work out exactly what the parties will accept and it seems a very confused picture is emerging chin fane the republican party which has seven seats in the westminster parliament but doesn't actually sit and vote in london refuses to do so it has accused a recent mayor of bad faith for trying to reopen the withdrawal agreement and change the backstop arrangement however the d u p which does sit in london and upon which to research may realise for her parliamentary majority has insisted that to tinker all try to reform the backstop but leave it in place is not enough they want the backstop totally replaced they're not happy with it being in the ritual agreements at all so to resign may's going to go to belfast claiming a mandate from parliament to renegotiate the bracks it deal but exactly what she's going to birthplace it with what kind of alternative arrangements she might propose

that is not clear at all. just before we hit the break. president but. the moment. the president. from. the wrong.

we are told he's bought his farm thank you so much come all its bad times for look ron james the man many people refer to as the greatest of all time suffered the worst defeat of his n.b.a. career his side the l.a. lakers were thrashed by forty two points by the indiana pacers on cheese day james who is playing his way back from injury scored eighteen points becoming the fifth player in the league history to reach thirty two thousand points but the thirty four year old sat out the entire fourth quarter in indiana pacers winning one hundred and thirty six to ninety four as some of the lakers players could have been distracted by rumors as the league's trade deadline day approaches. no it has to be tough for

a lot of our guys especially young guys you know right now there's never been a part of that and i want to hear that every single day and i noted the. worst thing that you can do right now is going so should we. all young guys love so should be so that difficult how all the n.b.a. trade deadline is on thursday like le bron says these guys are playing ball not really knowing when or if they're going to be traded to another team in another city last night in indiana pacers fans were chanting le bron is going to trade it was directed at james's lakers teammate twenty one year old brandon ingram while he was trying to make the shot that video viewed over one point five million times. this is a picture also capturing a lot of attention on social media it's being called the bangash scandal because take a look at where le bron sitting way over there people asking if he's trying to distance himself from his teammates well mr miller tweeted i lost

a lot of respect for le bron tonight to watch him sit alone and pat pout like a child is a horrible way to be an influence grow up bro no go to acts like that le bron posted this on his instagram after the game reminding everyone where he stands in the list of all time scoring leaders fifth very quickly closing in on michael jordan now this week ski fans will say goodbye to one of the most successful world cup racers of all time but lindsey vonn has had a bumpy start to her final week of competitive racing she crossed her in the super g. at the world championships in or a sweeter pole reste was there. the beginning of the end wasn't meant to be like this. but seconds into final well championships lindsey vonn super g. race followed the script of the rest of her farewell season the american crashing out with barely a glimpse of the talent and power that has made the most dominant skia of the

modern age yeah i've got a bit of a shiner. and i'm feel like i've been hit by an eighteen wheeler but other than that i'm great now aged thirty four valma has brought forward her retirement to make these world championships in sweden have final flourish a training run on monday saw her finish eleventh but the missing college in a moment choose days rice merely underlined that it was nearly time to say goodbye it is what it is i can change it i done my best my entire career i've worked as hard as humanly possible i've come back from way too many injuries and i'm not able to do it and that's just life you know it's not quite time to go yet still isn't ruling out winning another world championship gold and some days downhill she already has two and may regrets only have a taking home warm olympic winner's medal. but it's her performance in the season

long growing of the world cup that will be remembered eighty two wins putting how within four of the all time record set by sweden's in the last stand thirty years ago. i vaughan celebrity has transcended skiing in the sport will be relieved to have what seems to be a tailor made replacement in the kayla schiffer and the twenty three year old winning the super g. at the world just proceed to brush. her disappointment should be brief in the context of a career that has raced women skiing it's a new heights mckayla schifrin is victory here completes her coronation as the new queen of alpine skiing but her roots the top has been carved out by lindsey vonn her crush hit may be one of her last memories of the sport but it's not what she'll be remembered for pole race al-jazeera or to sweden. but it's not just vaughn making headlines the head of the international federation john casper has caused

controversy telling a swiss newspaper that it's easier to organize an olympic games in dictatorships. had this to say about kasper's comments sometimes people say something that is so stupid that you don't need to comment on it because the everyone knows what the polls show. that it's complete just so it's so it's almost the good because when people go to the extent to do this. you know no one needs to say anything. or you can tweet me your thoughts directly after underscore is smiles saddam will be back with more eight hundred g.m.t. but for now our hands are back to far thank you so much for that yeah if you want to do if you want to keep in touch with us aren't going to really busy show you how should i go to a newsgroup twitter facebook whatsapp reminder the what's that number with telegram as well if you want to subscribe to our channel by not just send us messages but subscribers we push content out there throughout the day for this news group we
