look up what the stargazers around the world are enjoying a rare specter gold tonight for the first time in decades a blood moon a blue moon and a super moon are coming together during a lunar eclipse creating an incredible so let's show. off it's good to have you with us u.s. president donald trump has called on the country to unite behind him to create what he calls a new american moment during his first state of the union address last night trump also asked lawmakers to support his plans on upgrading the country's aging infrastructure and to overcome the deadlock on immigration reform here's more.

republicans were thrilled to greet their leader ahead of the highly anticipated speech but the big question ahead of donald trump's first state of the union address when he adopted more presidential tone with the world see twitter trump or teleprompter trump a lot had changed he said since he took office 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 stock soar investor portfolios bold and corporate profits climb but fails to give workers their fair share of the reward a government. it struggles to keep itself open and this nagging sinking feeling no matter 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 hardline stance on immigration while young republicans at a washington bar were enthusiastic. why the president on the saddle want to try and bring. a lot of bipartisanship but there are critics and fans agreed that 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. and let's go to washington a poll in our correspondent carlina. carley you've reported numerous times on the immigration debate in the u.s. especially the generation of immigrants who came to the u.s. as children known as dreamers last night trump said that he wanted to work with

both parties to give dreamers a path to citizenship his offer did not go will go down well with everyone take a listen. under our plan we focus on the immediate family by limiting sponsorships to spouses and minor children my duty and the sacred duty of every elected official in this chamber is to defend americans to protect their safety their families their communities and their right to the american dream because americans are dreamers too. we know that the disagreement over the future of these dreamers is already led to one government shutdown and it could lead to another one in two weeks' time hansa progress been made. hello grant well not really because the whole trump underlined again his proposal for

offering the citizenship to one dollar eight million undocumented migrants but only in exchange to the financing of his u.s. mexican border while also under the condition of ending the green card lottery and limiting family reunification for the ones who already have a green card for the united states he calls it the migration chain and this is a very important topic the immigration plan he proposed yesterday because as you already mentioned the next set line for the shutdown of city eighth of february it's not even not even two weeks the immigration policy is probably the most important parking change that we're gonna see and we're going to hear during the next week and experts are commenting here that some democrats might accept a partial financing also wall which could add and having a scandal among the democrats if they have always sure they are not going to accept the wall and any circumstances remember chuck schumer the leader of the democrats

in the senate said a week ago during his speech in the senate that he would consider to discuss a border wall as part of a deal and he did during his meeting with but apparently this wasn't enough compromise for the president because after this meeting the white house released a proposal with the problems i already mentioned what about the stimulus like by the u.s. president what he said because americans are dreamers what the me. well brant this was again a message to his base of course you can see very positive reactions on this comment on this statement of donald trump because here we say arse again directly to america first america can skirt american citizens first but in a way it's a bit contradictory and confusing as to because dreamers say exactly that they do feel like americans they grew up here they speak the language and they went to school to university or work here so they told me they will probably. change the

slogan and say well yes americans are dreamers in the dreamers are american students it just proves how much language matters in this debate our correspondent covering the turmoil the story for us tonight in washington covering the thank you very much. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a week after disgraced u.s. sports doctor larry nasser was sentenced to up to one hundred seventy five years in jail for sexually assaulting more than one hundred fifty young athletes the entire board of usa gymnastics have male step down nasser is being sentenced in a further case in the u.s. state of michigan today 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 drusilla as the israeli capital. here in germany in a special session the german parliament the bundestag honored the victims of the holocaust today the ceremony was led by the parliament's president book on choice and german president voltaire steinmeyer its key moment was an address by a needle last year of all fish one of the last known surviving members of the women's orchestra of auschwitz the orchestra performed for high level nazi officials they also played at the concentration camp gates for prisoners as they went in. for work. were going to be you know the big table is the break before my politics sky kate what did you make of the speeches that we heard today whether it's your very strong speeches today festival we had from the president of the german. parliament and he used his speech very much as

a warning against this riot increase in them to submit to racist and hate crime. and hate motivated crimes in recent years and he called on society to be attentive to this issue he said of exclusion of people that he described as maybe looking different oss thinking differently and then as you mentioned we heard from a need to evolve fish who gave quite a moving very objective speech and we saw as well in the bundestag stay some of those m.p.'s that being brought close to tears as she gave her account of her time in auschwitz that yet let's pick up on that. what she said about how germany changed after the holocaust. 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 was made here. she is speaking of course to a sea change in so many aspects of politics geography two demographics how does responsibility for the holocaust how does it play into german politics today i think that sense of responsibility certainly played a role in angela merkel's decision two and a half years ago i thought open gemini's borders to some one million refugees that came in the following that at the height of the refugee crisis and also of course as a result of open in germany's border there are huge numbers of refugees still

living in germany and that largely fueled the rise of the far right a.f.d. who entered the german parliament for the first time back in september and they led to their campaign with this anti migrant agenda and so it was quite poignant today that this is the first of these ceremonies. more realizing the holocaust where the f.d.a. the fall by f.d.a. was present and we've also in the past. anti semitic comments from some of the parties members one particular. particularly memorable statement was from be on her who actually described a memorial here to the mood of jews of europe here in berlin he described it as a memorial of shame and although the the leadership of the posse has distanced itself from these comments out at the end of the day they still have the migrant agenda. thank you very much.

people around the world looking up to the sky tonight are being treated to a rear cosmic show it's super rid super big and super bright for the first time in thirty five years a blue moon has sync with a super moon and a total lunar eclipse. it was a day to remember for many sky enthusiasts in beijing hundreds of people went out onto the streets and they was full round and reddish the super blue blood moon it glowed in the heavens over asia australia north america in europe it was still daytime. the reddish color is due to rays of sunlight crossing the earth's atmosphere and hitting the moon so face hence the name blood moon the other two phenomena are a bit more common as the moon reaches its closest position to earth appearing larger and brighter it's called the super moon while the term blue moon indicates

a second full moon in a single month the last one was in the beginning of january but what is extremely rare is for all three phenomenon to happen at the same time excitement also in los angeles. this is once in a lifetime and i don't care if it's three thirty in the morning i'm going to come and it's completely worth it it's amazing it's gone through so many stages it's really beautiful but a sort of a calm because obviously this was a rare opportunity to see down here the total lunar eclipse and then having some gear to be able to see it very well i figured why not i you know i worked last night but slept a couple hours and came back up there you know so was it worth it it was totally worth it. well we couldn't see the blood moon we will at least have our own lunar eclipse at the end of july. keep looking off the.
