or our services and trust in our god. we will never fail. our families will thrive. our people will prosper and our nation. will forever be safe and strong and proud and mighty and shree thank you and god bless america. god it was another landmark on donald trump's extraordinary white house journey. let's talk more now about the president's initial his maiden address to the nation what did abuse washington bureau chief alexander phenomenology under the president's goal was reaching out across the aisle did he succeed in doing that.

well they have to admit that president struck a conciliatory tone during his first state of the union address and i think it was a very wise move to the american people in the center of his speech he started his speech by praising the american people stressing that they are up to and the challenge that they can manage and the difficult situation and then he continued by calling upon congress on democrats and republicans to work together on behalf of the american people because although makers have been elected to serve the american people so he was sort of trying to reach out to the democrats however when we talk about policies we have to say that he did not all for and the concession and the compromise that could be to buy purchase

legislation ok now the president's speech also focused on the very divisive issue of immigration let's take a listen to that. my duty and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber is to defend americans to protect your safety their families their communities and their right to the american dream because americans are dreamers too. ok the emphasis there clearly on both protecting the american people and the american dream. yes and it was a clear message to the president strom's core supporters two hundred days that he's loyal to loyalty belongs to the american people american citizens and he once again reiterated he's a hardline stance on immigration saying that he would be willing to extend the

protection for the so-called dreamers young immigrants brought by their parents illegally to the united states when he can be sure that there will be and and student visa lottery and a change and then said milly based immigration and more funding for border security ok in terms of foreign policy alexander the president was discussing north korea its security challenges and he also a north korean defector. yes that's true and it was quite a thing to to see this north korean defector in the house chamber and it will be interesting how the north korean regime is going to react to those that were they will feel. will be ready to to do anything for vocative or

will consider it's a provocation and here once again talking about north korea president trump. repeated that he thinks that the right way to deal with this threat from coming from north korea is to rebuild and three new america's nuclear earth and he thinks that there can be no concession that the right strategy is the campaign of maximum pressure ok a lot of issues out there in the speech was an hour and twenty minutes what it would have been some of the reactions to it. well according to polls that were published immediately after the speech for example conducted by the american network c.n.n. majority of few were were quite satisfied with this speech the vast majority of

republicans war were happy with this speech however we have to say that. the democrats were very critical of the president's first state of the union criticizing that president is dividing the nation in the party's response to the president's state of the union joe kennedy congressman from massachusetts said that what america america has seen during this first year year of the president. presidency is care as a purchase and ship and politics so it was quite a rebuke. what about his base did it get what it's want to do what it wanted to hear and was the dreamer compromise perhaps too much for the

well i think that actually the main purpose of the state of the union address was to reach his base to address his base we're sure that he is still the president they had voted for that his loyalty as i said belongs to the american people to those forgotten women and men in the united states ok now now the president also touched on prison reform giving people a second chance shortly before the address so the white house announced the trump was keeping one ton of mowbray a prison open is there any connection here between these two. well it's difficult to say whether there is any link between those two things and we have to say. that the decision the announcement to keep the

detention in guantanamo bay is sort of. about face for america after years of trying to close this prison off attempts of the obama administration to close this detention center ok in terms of the speech overall was it the message america needs right now is this what the american people want to hear from their new president after his first year in office that's definitely what they wanted to hear and talking about konami situation that also matters for many americans i'm sure about that that it's important for them to be reassured that america's economy is growing that the wages are rising and that the stock market has been hitting new highs however we have to say that the president did not really or let me put it in

a different way he missed the opportunity to reach to he's open to his critics to the people who had not voted for him alexander naaman from washington for us this morning thanks very much alexandra. let's take a look now at the business side of the president's address with kristoff kober good morning chris off the president there touting strong job creation a rocketing wall street the stock markets what was it pointing out what were some of his messages in terms of the economy well indeed the economy in the united states is robust but we have to remember that donald trump inherited this positive economic sentiment a growing labor market as you say a rising stock market for that matter and you know this is thanks to policies that partially at least were put into place by the previous administration we have to

remember that the obama administration had to deal with the big economic downturn of two thousand and nine and we also have to remember that economic policies once put into place need some time to actually to act you know the german economy is in good shape thanks mainly to policies that were put into place one and a half decades ago ok let's take a listen tell me now to what the president said about job growth since his election let's take a listen to that. since the election we have created two point four million new jobs. of the including two hundred thousand new jobs in manufacturing. of the ok the president is claiming there the manufacturing achievement as as his success but in focusing on job creation on manufacturing is the president in danger of missing trends in other sectors that are very important for the economy

that is indeed the danger here the president when focusing on these manufacturing jobs obviously playing to his base we have to keep in mind less than nine percent of the workforce in the united states is employed in manufacturing so yes there is the danger of missing trends in services in id sectors where the u.s. do have a leg up and also if you look at the job growth in general if you look at the monthly numbers the economy added about one hundred sixty nine thousand jobs per month since the two thousand and sixteen election which is strong yes but which is a tad slower than what the trend used to be before ok now because of the president wants to keep that leg up as he called it by making sure that trade is open that is fair and davos he said it's all about fair trade not necessarily free trade as he put it. reciprocal trade and moving forward he wants to make sure that

that trade opportunity for america remains open and an opportunity for america to move forward first let's take a listen to that. america has also finally turned the package for decades of unfair trade deals that sacrificed our prosperity and shipped away our companies our jobs and our. well our nation has lost its wealth but we're getting it back so fast the era of economic surrender is totally over from now on we expect trading relationships to be fair and very importantly receptor called. ok the era of surrender is over does that mean that nafta is going to be renegotiated it will be a a hard nut to crack there i mean we have seen six rounds of negotiations between the united states mexico and canada negotiations moving at glacial speed very rocky

talks there and if we look at the worst case scenario if these free trade agreement nafta if it should talks should collapse mexico and canada may not be in the mood to renegotiate to talk further also the european union has signed trade agreements with mexico and canada. you know pushing down terrorists to zero so that could be an advantage for for european companies and if we look at the bigger picture here signing bilateral trade deals is a no means easier than then than signing multilateral trade deals the united states has pulled out of the t v p the transpacific partnership including countries of the pacific rim which was intended as a counterweight to china and its economic power so this intention for that matter has as has been neglected by the united states so it is it will be difficult so from nafta to the e.u.

to be going to be all about him and his team getting the negotiating skills together another issue is health care it is a huge issue. along with migration united states and the president's getting some help from exactly where the republicans want to see it coming from the private sector that's right brian because online retailer amazon warren buffet's investment firm backs your head away and banking giant j.p. morgan are teaming up to offer what they call great quality health care at a reasonable cost for their american staff the three c.e.o.'s say the new company will be independent and free from profit making incentives initial focus will be on technology that provides quote simplified high quality and transparent care shares and health care companies took a hit in tuesday's trading session at the new york stock exchange hinting at the threat the new entity poses to existing health care structures in the united states

now for some more analysis of these plans here is a wall street correspondent yes court the american healthcare system is probably the most expensive in the world some americans are roughly spending three and a half billion dollars per year on health that's roughly twenty percent of total g.d.p. and if you look at the history of health care in the united states the health care system is much more privatized here than it is in europe it started basically also after world war two there was a lack of workers and to a correct those workers companies started to offer pension plans but also called health care plans and right now we are in a similar situation because we almost have full employment and that could be an incentive for talents for good skilled workers to join those corporations. yes quarter of porting from wall street there today wednesday is the annual general

meeting of german engineering giant siemens protests are expected because siemens plans to lay off workers and close production facilities here in germany at the same time it looks like the company is towing president trump's line to boost investment in the united states. as the world's rich and powerful gathered in davos fifteen captains of industry got a chance to get up close and personal with u.s. president donald trump one german paper remarked they were like schoolboys eager to impress their master works zeman his head joke is a promised mess of investment in the new gas turbine development project in the us work for. trump's far reaching tax reforms sound very appealing to some german see those. siemens does robust business in the u.s. doing more than a fifth of its ivy three billion euros of turnover there in the last financial year the u.s. accounted for seventeen billion euros. cases offered to expand operations in the

u.s. has drawn fire at home because in germany thousands of siemens workers will soon be out of a job the company used to shed seven thousand workers worldwide half of them in germany mainly in gas turbine production in the locations threatened by downsizing or closure there's real anger the company boss has so far been unmoved and that's unlikely to change at the a.g.m. . you may or may not have a samsung smartphone but no matter what brand it is many phones are full of samsung chips and that is what's driving record breaking profits at the south korean giant slashing galaxy smartphones may get all the glory but revenues there were down percent to around eleven billion dollars on top of strong demand and samsung says it expects demand for its chips to remain strong. and it is back to

brian now and political turmoil in kenya that's right kristoff the kenyan government has outlawed opposition leader raul od'ing as national resistance movement this after doing a staged a mock inauguration ceremony in nairobi he's disputed the country's presidential election results since last august the supreme court ordered a rerun in october which he boycotted calling it a sound all after the ceremony adding an updated his twitter profile to describe himself as quote president of the republic of kenya and in a tweet showing him at that mosque inauguration he described himself as graciously something the mandate granted us by the kenyan people. thousands of assembled in the kenyan capital to support opposition leader right now. supporters have been gathering in who are parked since early this morning. it's an important day for us and out come on time i don't want to miss our sara we are with that big crowd

thinks if there was after that citizens of this country are not allowed to this will be a summer here and the let's all presidents as well the posters of. the police initially used tear gas to disperse the crowd while odinga wanted to use this occasion to denounce a vision he says was brought about by election making her at noon here beside an oath of office in a mock inauguration and pronounced himself the people's president. so today it's a historical day in our country of kenya he said kenyans have decided to remove themselves from the dictatorship that came about through felt steven. shortly after his speech disappeared kenya's attorney general has threatened to charge him with treason which could lead to capital punishment the government has denounced the opposition as a quote organized criminal group despite international recognition of president hu

kenyatta as we election amid love voter turnout he had three private broadcaster shut down to prevent a live transmission of the ceremony wasn't upsetting to me to think that it was every kind of that i'd information center and that was just what it would thing is that we have social media which allow us and that is a very. big to get information nobody's business demanded i've always been known for it's. the situation remained calm despite the turn of events in the kenyan capital over the past few months more than ninety kenyans have been killed in election related disputes. all participants in the latest round of syrian peace talks have ended their conference with a plan to draft a new syrian constitution the aim is to help bring an end to the country's nearly seven year long civil war but the syria's main opposition bloc boycotted the talks in the russian city of saucy and rejected the outlying towns to sion is

insufficient meanwhile the fighting it's raging on in one of the remaining anti-government strongholds in syria. bombs continue to rain down on the city of sara keep in northwestern syria eyewitnesses say the syrian air force has flown ninety such bombing runs killing twenty people these numbers have yet to be verified this is what remains of the or die hospital inside a camp it was struck by several blasts. this was the last place people could get treatment without paying for it and now we have to transport them much further away. thirty thousand people used to call sara kept home it's in rebel hands controlled by a combination of islamic extremists and local militias it's one of the last holdouts against president assad. people from the entire is lip region took refuge in sarah kip now no one is safe refugees and locals must leave the city.

these people have set up camp next to a nearby highway they say their supplies are running out but they have nowhere else to go. we've been everywhere around here and everywhere they drive us away i just hope we can return home some day. the u.n. estimates that around two hundred thousand people are displaced in the region and there's little hope of a break in the violence. a change of pace now and a one of a kind cello as made its debut at a concert in northern italy the instrument was stopped dead from ice on top of a nearby glacier the reception it received was anything but frosty. this is how eyes can sound when you give it the right shake. they call it the nice cello. italian musician giovanni salema plays it in

the president. surprisingly they gave the president a hero's welcome the big question ahead of donald trump's first state of the union address with the leader of the free world adopt a more presidential term own twitter trump or teleprompter trump a lot to change he said over the last year but one refrain from his election campaign remained constant. a new tide of optimism was already sweeping across our land each day since we have gone forward with a clear vision and a righteous mission. to make america great again for all americans. of the day was praised for his own administration's achievements two point four million new jobs rising wages after years of stagnation more red tape cut them by any other administration unemployment claims at

our people will prosper and our nation. well for ever be safe and strong and proud and mighty and shree thank you and god bless america could live. it was another landmark on donald trump's extraordinary white house journey. ok let's break down the president's state of the union address now with boris foreman professor of politics at bard college here in berlin good morning worst morning nice to see you again who did we see there in that speech was it more donald trump the deal maker or donald trump the hard line. well i guess rather the deal maker but i think it was he was sticking to the tradition of the state of the union which it is it's a very consolatory speech it's trying to bring the different factions together it's trying to give a summary an optimistic summary of what happened in the last year and to embed it

in the national history of greatness i mean this is basically what the state of the union does and trump has stuck to the script okayed certainly did and he's reaching back into history tying into a lot of american themes this is a far more patriotic speech for example traditional speech if you will then we heard during the obama administration's sure but i think it's a certain jar and the difference differences aren't too great i mean there is always some appreciation of the military and the veterans but it's true i mean trump emphasized that particularly and he used also the individual fates of the individual stores to underpin his his story of success in the first year and of national suffering but i would say he really stayed in the street tradition that we know there was nothing so extremely surprising what about the democratic response there certainly wasn't very much applause like you would see during praising previous state of the union addresses where the republicans would also applaud even a democratic president that's where there were some moments where. you could really

see that the congress is very polarized and i think that parts of the speech might have been futile or have been viewed by some of the democrats who have already spoken afterwards as cynical as it. tries to underline the a solidarity with the small people with those low income people whereas in fact the tax reform has been seen by most observers as a redistribution to the top and it's unlikely for the inequalities that have been so deep to be overcome with the kinds of policies that trump has suggested so far so it's been it's been seen as a cynical stance on a discrepancy between the rhetoric's of solidarity of national so. dirty and at the same time a reinforcement of inequalities ok but there has been strong job creation and that does reduce inequality so the president has succeeded on some economic fronts as i'm sure this is been the main point that he's been making also in davos in his speech just a couple days ago this has been the main to what the democrats would emphasize is

that this is sort of the the late heritage of the obama administration others would say well this is maybe trump unleashing the animal spirits of the markets it remains to be seed to be seen what the long term consequences of this will be ok what one issue that unites europe and america right now is migration what to do with large numbers of migrants wanting to come to the country legally or illegally do you see him with his dhaka compromise and the dream of compromise as something reaching out to democrats and will that work for the republicans and the democrats coming together on this topic well that's at least been the rhetoric but this was one of the contentious points this was also one of the points where the support from the from the democrats in the crowd was visibly lacking so i don't see how they're going to come together on these points immigration reform has been seen by the democratic side as problematic and as catering to certain nationalistic

overtones so i don't see how this speech would have helped in a any way to bring them closer closer together ok on any front did this speech help the president move closer to the democrats no but maybe that's also not what this speech was supposed to do i mean this is one of the moments in time where the president can speak directly to a lot of large audience you would think since he's always in the public eye with his tweets and his comments that he's constantly present but this is really one of the moments where he can give an interpretation of his own of what has happened in the last year and so he's been able to create a narrative of success. the question is. hold on that can hold and if it is a first step towards. more productive reforms when it comes to infrastructure another theme that has been mentioned where great promises were made and where bipartisanship is possible but if it really happens ok in terms of foreign policy

the big issue is a return to a very robust nuclear deterrence that was underlined in the speech i let's let's take a listen to what he said about north korea. but no regime has oppressed its own citizens more totally brutally than the cruel dictatorship in north korea. north korea's reckless pursuit of nuclear missiles could very soon threaten our homeland we are waging a campaign of maximum pressure to prevent that from ever happening. ok what do you make of that statement that is a very strong statement well i think we have to see it in the overall context of the speech this was one of the longest speeches ever given as a state of the union in the last fifty years except for one speech by bill clinton in foreign policy just came very late in the speech after the first hour had passed so the emphasis really was on the domestic issues the points made in north korea

were perhaps strong but were not overly surprising given what he had said before so i didn't find this to be the most remarkable. the most remarkable part what i found remarkable. were the blindspots what was absent he didn't talk about china at all or maybe in passing when you talk about fair trade and reciprocity and he didn't talk about russia at all which of course was a contentious issue for him which he has sort of tried to tiptoe around and he also when we speak about domestic issues he didn't talk about targets bill at all so some of the big points that haven't even been raised in this speech of north korea yes he did bring it up but i didn't find it to be the pivotal moment in the speech boris foreman professor of politics of bard college here in berlin thanks very much force thanks downtowns first year in office has of course not been without its controversies one of those less reported was his pledge to dramatically cut financial aid to palestinian refugees some five million people are urgently in need

of that support and the united nations agency responsible for them says it is running out of money later today e.u. foreign ministers will be meeting to discuss whether to offer extra funding let's take a closer look at what the agency for palestinian refugees is doing. the united nations relief and works agency has provided essential aid for palestinian refugees and their descendants for seven decades many of them were displaced during the arab israeli war in ninety forty eight and the six day war in one nine hundred sixty seven today more than five million palestinians are registered and chems in jordan lebanon syria the occupied west bank and the gaza strip donations from u.n. member states make up the nearly all of the agency's budget of over one billion dollars the united states gave three hundred sixty four million u.s. dollars in two thousand and seventeen four hundred forty one million dollars come

from the e.u. and its member states earlier this month the us administration froze some sixty five million dollars of its aid for the un refugee agency during the world economic forum in davos president trump threatened to cut off u.s. aides to the palestinians altogether it is seen as an apparent punishment of the palestinian leadership for harshly criticizing the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the cut in funds risks to effect the most value of the palestinians across the region for which provides basic care education health social services and basic food distribution in addition emergency aid supports palestinian refugees in war torn syria or in gaza the cut comes at a critical time for the organization and it's now urgently looking for a way to make up the difference. with us now is christopher gunness spokesman for the u.n.

agency for palestinian refugees joining us from jerusalem this morning the dangers of birth. oh you foreign ministers are meeting in brussels today to talk about your organization's new financial crisis as a result of the cut of american aid are you expecting today to hear there will be more cash coming from europe well we're certainly hoping because this is the worst financial crisis in under its history disabled city which has over five million registered refugees on its books is running on empty let's be very clear about the possible consequences of thirty thousand plus staff giving an education to half a million children in the arab states and territories around israel we hear of one point seven million food insecurity east a million of which are in gaza food and cash are doctors do ninety million health consultations each year on the list goes now if anybody thinks anybody in europe or

elsewhere in israel and america thinks that it's in anyone's interest how the million children on the streets of the middle east instead of being in u.n. schools at a time when militants are in full recruitment both then i really don't know what they're thinking because as far as we're concerned this could have very dramatic consequences for the middle east ability when you disrupt and look at isolation like under which is so deeply imbedded in communities the consequences could be dramatic and unpredictable so say we need to be proper under it ok not just humanitarian. interests here but also security issues and stake at well as well in his state of the union address christopher the president clearly underscored that u.s. aid is only for america's friends to serve america's interests let's take a listen to that. i am asking congress to pass legislation to help ensure american foreign assistance dollars own way share american interests and

only go to friends every now and. ok you concerned this administration's new ryall politic in terms of aid will mean a longer term cut of funding to the palestinians now and say that we have had an extremely supportive and trusting and stable relationship with the american government for decades and the notion that somehow under an organization which has been supported by the american taxpayers' money for decades is somehow and effective tool to america's interests does not ring true to the experiences that we have had people know that for example our education reinforces u.n. values we teach human rights and special conflict resolution programs at all half a million children great sponsor nine in our schools we promote the rights of women

we work with vulnerable children the idea that this is somehow antitheft a call to american interests simply does not ring true ok now the administration is demanding reforms for a resumption of aid and a for future aid could your organization come up with some reforms that would satisfy the trumpet ministration. well that question presupposes that we've not been engaged in reforms and indeed we have beaten gauged in reforms for years as long as i've been in this agency that over ten years we have been targeting our aid to the poorest of the poor will be looking at efficiencies we've been doing a whole range of reforms this year alone we estimate that we have saved about eighty million dollars because of those reforms so let's make no mistake we are doing what forms are committed to general new words in washington as recently as november and senior american officials commended our high impact our accountability

and our transparency of course we are committed to further reforms but let me be clear we have already embark on a root and branch programme of reforms and indeed we are committees can still continuing that ok briefly if you could you talk back committed to being committed to further reforms we don't have much time briefly if you could a what might they look like well we have got for example fewer teachers in our classrooms because we did a class formation exercise as we speak the only hospital in the west bank qalqilya hospital under is pulling away from its support for that we've moved from food handouts in most of our fields to cash that is a much more efficient way of doing food aid the list goes on if there were time i could talk more we are committed absolutely to reforms we've been doing reforms for many years now and as i say the reform agenda is very much part on his agenda

because afghanistan the un agency for palestinian refugees thanks very much for being with us this morning on a day if foreign ministers meet in brussels to talk specifically about this thank you very much chris for my pleasure. well if you're looking for more background on the u.n. says work for palestinian refugees and go to our website at g.w. dot com and there you will find plenty of analysis and interviews as well also you can follow us on twitter for updates on the e.u.'s special meeting coming up later today that said news. well we're shifting gears now we're going to talk about superheroes take a look at this part of a new movie it's part of a movie clip from black panthers its latest in a long line of blockbusters from marvel studios but it's the first the feature a majority black cast and the film just had his world premiere in los angeles for

that sir showering it with praise here's a preview of what to expect when black panther gets the earth or is near you next week. after the death of his father china returns home to the african nation of wauconda to take his rightful place as king. one time. black panther is not only a visual feast but a superhero film that offers depth and szymon storytelling it is also in more ways than one. child missing african superhero movie ever so. i mean in the oak of like james one is well i'm not kind of lame so i was excited. to see what happens next. with black panther marvel cinematic universe expands in

a new way one thing. happens now determines the tappings to the rest of the house. this could be a shift in popular culture and i think you know. that something like marbled doesn't like really affecting our culture and. that's a plus. it's not it is not a movie it's a movement that's i think very true you know it's exactly what across everything that we've previously seen goes you know what we think is entertainment so i think . in this world he is responsible for. man is rising star filmmaker. ryan coogler well you know you try to keep. the bigger picture stuff. you know distracted. from the pressure try to do every day they're not think about . think about what. you know more than just just just be in

a film. with black panther tracking through a record breaking to view the film doesn't go from here is anyone's guess. well just ten days before the winter olympics began the world anti-doping agency says it is looking into a possible security problem with the bottles that are used for drug testing now that after a lab in cologne told the organization that the bottles could potentially be opened manually the international olympic committee says it is concerned by those findings . they're meant to be tamper proof but the sample said to be easily manipulated the revelation first reported by german journalist. comes after the bottles were examined at the. found the bottles could be opened manually when frozen sports

lawyer is furious he says testing at next month's winter games will be floored. in south korea where we can forget it because the head of germany's olympic movement has. to act. in the coming days to clear out this matter and if you'll pardon the pun they need to plug the hole in the test once and for all. the problem takes back to sochi in twenty fourteen russia success at the home once again is. by evidence of state sponsored doping the man who provided evidence for direct cough is now in hiding in the united states among his allegations the security service the f.s.b. was ordered to break into sample bottles. putin

and russia have consistently denied state sponsored doping but these latest revelations raise questions about the security of samples well white. well for more on the possible manipulation of these sample bottles happen to be joined by tom good night from the sports morning tom i just how easy is it to to manipulate these bottles shockingly easily it seems first of all the balls were falsified so from that we learned unfortunately the unfortunate conclusion that they the genuine article itself is not invincible which you know in the itself is a fairly significant problem then it seems that they were just tampered with. seventy two hours in the fridge and they can be opened emptied refilled resales without been displaying any signs of them having been tampered with by whichever

party it pleases to tamper with them. this is startling when you consider that these bottles were designed after the russian doping scandal to address this problem what does this mean for the upcoming winter olympics does this mean it would be easier to manipulate samples at the olympics it seems it could be i mean now the i.o.c. and the world and the doping agency have got a week to find an emergency solution the problem was known to them and if they won't worry they say they are going to be now on the lead as very literally been blown off and everybody knows that there's this enormous risk of them being dopey. to. them being able to be tampered with so they've basically got a week now to find an emergency solution to what would otherwise it's going to be a compromised system ok this does not very much time it could mean that they go back to the old bottles that these were designed to replace i would imagine yeah ok now is it too late to implement changes or you know i mean i mean what can be done

to ensure that doping samples remain secure and tamper proof well i mean it seems that they're probably going to be stuck with these bottles for now right they've got a week until the start of the game so they need to just ensure that the game security around the testing starts in around the boat was it has to be watertight and in future it doesn't really bode well for the i.o.c. and for whatever because they're always going to be up against it there's no underestimating the extent to which people who are trying to find a way to dope. they're very innovative they're very determined they're resting a lot of time on the money so the i.o.c. and what a need to make sure that they're investing just more now the journalist who broke this story was very critical of what he says that they basically resting on their laurels hoping that nobody's going to look too closely but you know it's not a new problem and the solutions so far seem to be inadequate ok so it could mean the diocese has to come up with more police presence to to literally guard

physically the samples i could be the final so yes it might come down to something as simple and as basically as physical as that tom did or for the dust at our sports department thanks very much. let's get your minder now of our top story we're following for you at. present donald trump is delivered an optimistic record on his presidency during his first state of the union address highlighting job creation and soaring stock markets the president also took a stand on u.s. security he calls for guantanamo bay to remain open and for a powerful nuclear weapons arsenal to deter any possible acts of aggression. don't forget you can always get. download our app from google play the apple stores well now give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as for push notification notifications for breaking news you can also use the app to send us photos and videos. this is news live from berlin i'm
