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. he praised his own administration's achievements more than two million new jobs rising wages reductions in red tape on employment claims at a forty five year low and the stock market smashing records. this in fact is our new american moment there has never been a better time to start living the american dream and together we can achieve absolutely anything. democrats did not share this optimism. at a trade school representative joseph kennedy the third record of this official response. we see an economy that makes stocks soar investor portfolios bold and

corporate profits climb but fails to give workers their fair share of the reward a government that struggles to keep itself open and this nagging sinking feeling no matter what your political beliefs. this is not right this is not who we are protesters marched on the streets of washington and many worried by trump's hard line stance on immigration while young republicans at a washington bar were enthusiastic. while you president probably said a while as you try and we already have a lot of bipartisanship there are critics and fans agreed the trump succeeded in staying largely on message and he ended on a high note as long as we have confidence in our values faith in our citizens 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 free thank you and god bless america goodnight. another landmark on an extraordinary white house journey. into special session today the gentle and been dissed to honor the victims of the holocaust the said he was led by the parliament's president of functionally of the and the general president from fatah steinmeyer its key moment was an address by anita face one of the last known surviving members of the women's history of. the orchestra performs for high level nazi efficient as it was a played at the concentration camp gates of prisoners as they went in and out for a walk. i mean the city is up little correspondent simon young family what some of

the proceedings and we had some very moving testimony from anita last couple fish what did she have to say when she spoke very movingly bringing some in the bundestag today to the brink of tears as she told in this very straightforward way of hers without pay thaws the story of how she came to auschwitz having been forced by the way by the nazis to sign a document saying she was going there voluntarily but she arrived there expecting she said to die as her parents have been murdered already but she survived because as they told her she was needed she was needed to play the cello in the in this case in the camp and and that's how she survived and she told that story today again in detail just very movingly and it's a story she's used to telling because she makes frequent visits to germany to speak to school groups and others to remind them of her story but also to inspire them

with a sense of significance for the present and for their own lives and she spoke about what the holocaust has meant since and what it means today in her speech let's have a listen to a little bit of that speech as well. now there. after the catastrophe germany behaved in an exemplary manner no one lied about the holocaust anti-semitism was no longer in vogue. now times have changed the world is full of refugees. back then the borders were hermetically sealed and not open as they are today thanks to the unbelievably generous courageous and humane gesture that with made here. there's a very awful comment there so simon so what is the political resonance of the holocaust in today's context i think it's poignant because this is the first time that the ceremony in parliament has been held in the presence of the far right

party the a.f.d. that is sitting there with one hundred almost one hundred members in parliament and they sat and listened to her they joined in the standing ovation at the end which some had said you know they might use this occasion somehow to try and attract attention to themselves because of course this is a party that has risen to prominence with a lot of controversial anti immigrant statements and indeed some in the party of said that germany needs to do a complete u. turn on its culture of memorializing the holocaust and such events you know the leadership of the party i should say has distanced itself from that now clearly they have risen to power or at least a presence in the bundestag also as a result of the influx of migrants into germany and there are concerns there that migrants particularly those coming from the middle east don't share germany's sense of what the holocaust means they don't share their sense of the the mainstream

sense here of the danger of anti-semitism and indeed a lot of people have said that you know some of the migrants and refugees have have imported and the semitism into germany and that's obviously a bad thing and what does the holocaust for druidism hanukkah. for the younger generation here in germany well i think there is concern that a lot of younger people are likely to say you know this all happened more than seventy years ago what is it got to do with me and just recently we've seen a debate that's come back periodically down the years you know should all young people teenagers be compulsorily taken to visit a concentration camp or another nazi related site so they can get a sense of the importance of this you know they're also fears about how hate speech on the internet you know some of it's anti semitic some of that sort of the certainties of the post-war view of the holocaust not what they used to be that's what's important that i witness is people like and it's about fish still able to

tell their story of course they won't be able to do that for many more years some young thank you very much for that analysis. and now for a look at some other stories making news around the world activists of hate hong kong's decision to ban all things ivory by twenty twenty one kills in what this is a major new poll in the global effort to protect elephants from poaching the chinese territory is one of the biggest markets for ivory in the wild the treat has been outlawed in most other countries since one thousand nine hundred ninety. s. and the european union has urged the u.s. not to go it alone in any effort to make peace between israel and the palestinians warning that it would end in failure wednesday's talks in brussels brought together top u.s. palestinian and israeli politicians for the first time since donald trump's controversial decision to recognize truth of them as the israeli capital. turning now to turkey
