this is live from berlin u.s. president donald trump delivers a sprawling state of the union address calling for unity but hitting out on his opponents an economic miracle is taking place in the united states and the only thing that can stop it are foolish wars politics or ridiculous partisan investigation. we will have full analysis

from washington including a look at the response from his critics also coming up another devastating revelation from the catholic church pope francis and living that some priests and bishops have braked nuns and that the abuse is still going on why has it taken him so long to come clean class in the age of cloning it is not just cats who have nine lives a lab in south korea brushes aside ethical concerns and says that it can make copies of your canines. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the state of the union is strong that was the message of u.s. president donald trump to congress today trump addressed many points in his speech he called again for a wall to be built between the u.s. and mexico and accuse china of stealing american intellectual property he also made

a major foreign policy announcement trump will meet with north korea's leader kim jong un for a second summit later this month. 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. my relationship with kim jong un is a good one chairman kim and i will meet again on february twenty seventh and twenty eighth in vietnam. and we have team coverage of this speech we begin in washington with our bureau chief alexander phenomena so alexander i mean it was a state of the union that was delayed it was controversial give us a sense of the atmosphere as donald trump delivered the speech.

i found it very interesting how eager president trump was to deliver this state of the union address after walking into the chamber after being greeted by members of congress his targets to deliver this speech without waiting for house speaker pelosi to formally introduced him and it was quite unusual and then we have to say it was here this year was in stark contrast to what we saw last year when the republicans were in control of both chambers it's true that the president got applause when he talked about issues that are important for both parties or when he talked about the fact that now more women than ever are serving as members of congress but then when he talks about these policies of border security immigration we saw a storm faced democrat sitting there not applauding and you clearly could sense

that the country and congress are divided along party lines and that the more democrats feel emboldened to challenge of this president let's move to the specifics though alexander because i mean he did he covered a broad range of topics what were the main points that he made. well he called upon republicans and democrats to work together to help him push through his agenda but he didn't really offer and the old wrench to the democrats who talk about criminal justice reform about infrastructure about topics like reducing costs for prescription drugs but there was no really all for off any compromise particularly when he talked about immigration and border security one point which was also quite interesting which we have to address here i

mean he really took aim at the increasing number and best of the investigation surrounding his presidency in this address what has been the response to that so far. it was quite interesting to watch. congress at this moment to watch nancy pelosi who was smeared through watched the chairman of the house intelligence committee who smiled because they know that they have for now the power to launch new investigations into. the ministration into his companion and off so the state of the union address nancy pelosi issued a statement criticizing the president's remarks describing them as the threats to congress not to. notice to. issue its. constitutional rights to oversight the president and his administration tell us

also about the democratic rebuttal to this speech alexander what did it tell us about the way that the democrats are positioning as a party to oppose the president. that was held by stacy abrams a political from georgia and a raising rising star among democrats and he she tries to contradict the president in many areas for instance talking about the economy the president talked about economic growth and she talked about working class americans who are struggling who are living from paycheck to paycheck she also talked about issues the president didn't talk about climate change education and gun control and she stressed how important it is for the u.s. to be a moral leader again pointing. out is that are important

for the democrats alexandra for nominee with the view from washington on this state of the union address by the u.s. president donald trump thanks alexandra. and let's get a deeper analysis now of this speech we're joined here in the studio by tori tausig she's with the brookings institute a washington nonpartisan think tank she is a specialist on u.s. foreign policy welcome to the program. you know did this president he build this speech as one that would unify the country of course we have you know divisive politics as recently especially given the government shutdown in washington how did you see it. well let's remember state of the union addresses are meant to do two things one to bring unity to a country and second to outline the primary policy proposals put forward by the president however we have to remember the context that this feature is given this is at the end of a unprecedented thirty five day long government shutdown and it was given by an

incredibly divisive president who is constantly calling out democrats for being a disservice to the country and who just hours before the speech braided democratic senator chuck schumer for his kind of taunting him for losing the. senate majority so to speak in the senate so this was a speech given by a divisive president during a divisive time and there was not much he could say to overcome that context and given that i mean what did you make of the dynamics in the room especially i mean one one couldn't help but notice that the women there were making quite a strong statement yeah of course all of the women were clad in suffragette white to show that this was the most female heavy congress ever in american history of course traditionally we can always look at the body language of those in the room to assess how positive what the president is saying is received there was a lot of negative body language from speaker of the house nancy pelosi a few moments of standing when president trump spoke out for typically united

united policies however the body language is relatively tense in the room what did you make of the content of the speech i mean in a way this was really his greatest hits' i think we have to say he calls for a border wall funding he also held the successes of his international diplomacy as he called it with north korea we also got some more details about his upcoming meeting with kim jong il and that we know will take place now in february your reaction to the focus of the speech the content. so of course president trump was going to come out and speak about the economic strains that we're seeing in the united states four percent unemployment high economic growth all of these are accurate and the president rightfully tried to strike a positive note on that of course he then went after more controversial policies like border funding which overshadowed a lot of the speech and then turn to a number of foreign policies including this upcoming summit with kim jong un i

think the national security community in washington and abroad has always been very skeptical of president attempts at diplomacy with kim jong il and i think that skepticism will continue moving into this next planned summit if you are an international ally of the united states how do you think that you view this speech because i mean this is a president who has very much been known for cozying up to enemies and needing those allies what do you think their takeaways would have been i think if we look at nato allies for example they were not expecting much from the speech president trump like presidents prior have called out nato allies for not spending enough on defense but he has struck a particularly harsh tone almost questioning the intrinsic value of the alliance itself and so there was not much that alliances that nato allies were looking for in the speech of course in the middle east we've had a recent announcement from president trump saying that the u.s. will withdraw troops from syria regardless of how allies in the region view this it

was met negatively by his own senate republican members and so i think he feels embattled both within washington and abroad when it comes to a number of his recent foreign policy statements or his house they work it all down for us on the state of the union address by the u.s. president donald trump thanks very thank you it's. well now to some other news and pope francis has acknowledged for the first time that catholic priests and bishops have sexually abused francis admitting having suspended priests for abusing women and promised to continue fighting to eradicate the problem nuns throughout the world abused and even held as sexual slaves by priests and bishops faced with a growing international outcry about the latest scandal to rock the catholic church the pope could no longer remain silent. that i thought they don't know the mistreatment of women is a problem. i would dare to say that humanity has not yet matured.

women are second class citizens that's where. it is a cultural problem. probably. a cultural problem that the holy see itself isn't immune to the vatican has reportedly long known about nuns being sexually abused by priests and done next to nothing to address the matter it was first publicly acknowledged as a structural issue by the vatican magazine women church world. basically the church has a great tradition and habit of not seeing women at things they don't exist they don't count then this is a mentality that is resistant to all changes and there's another problem many of these women have been forced to have abortions with money from the church bishops

and priests have paid that this is a very bad thing for a church that fights abortion and this is dramatic. last year various media outlets and clerical women's organizations started denouncing the culture of silence and secrecy that prevented nuns from speaking out about sexual violence. if an abused nun goes to her superior and says that she has suffered abuse she will be told to shut up because if you don't want this bishop will turn against us. the power that these bishops and priests have has become truly dreadful for magdalene thing that i mean. the consequences have been too difficult for them to bear would have been an . issue with more and more abuse cases being brought to light pope francis is now vowing to step up efforts to protect nuns from unwanted sexual advances by clergymen. this doesn't happen in my house is

true. should something will be done yes you do have the will yes. but it's a process that we've been known for quite some time. the pope asked the faithful to pray for progress on the issue but just praying for a change is unlikely to break the cycle of abuse in the catholic church. well now let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world the british prime minister theresa may has reassured the people of northern ireland that she remains committed to preventing the return of a hard border with the irish republic they speech in belfast a into calm fears over britain's efforts to limit the so-called backstop agreement with the european union and they will hold talks with the e.u. leaders in brussels on thursday. officials in paris say that a woman has been arrested on suspicion of arson after a fire in an apartment building killed at least ten people the suspect is a resident of the eight story building in the capital market sixteenth district

local media said that she had a history of. until illness. former kosar rican president os but i.b.s. has had a criminal complaint of sexual assaults filed against him according to the new york times the paper reports that his accuser who is a doctor said that i.d.'s assaulted her in her own home the former nobel peace prize winner has denied the allegations. unders of mourners have marched through a village near jenin in the west bank carrying the body of a twenty one year old palestinian killed on monday by israeli troops another man was injured during the same incident israel said that the two men threw an explosive device at soldiers. but it causes permanent damage trauma even death so why is female genital mutilation still being performed the practice is common in around thirty countries worldwide reasons vary but as g.m.

is seen as a way to suppress female sexuality and preserve family honor now our next report comes from guinea where over ninety percent of women and girls undergo some form of cutting often against their will. kenyan activist who. will never forget the day it happened to her. i thought to call c s i think about the day my parents took me and gave me to those women who had tools that i have never seen before so that they could do the story. full first that was to be honest i was mostly anger with my parents because they have betrayed me they didn't really tell me where i was going. even the little bad idea and they just told me i had to go on holiday and then i was faced with this when i got there. she says i'm traumatized when anyone talks to me about female circumcision i feel i

can't breathe it eats away at here if you say so all those so a lot of it. is dramatize ation mirrors the everyday reality and the trauma of female genital mutilation more than two hundred million women worldwide have been subjected to the age old ritual it's a tradition that reinforces men's power in society. officially s.g.m. has been banned in guinea since the year two thousand but the statistics tell another story ninety seven percent of women in the country have been cut that means that after somalia guinea is the african country where this practice is most common but there is resistance nineteen year old had just founded the group young girl leaders club in two thousand and sixteen with seven friends the club now has more than two hundred members across guinea they fight for the rights of women and girls and against f g m in all its forms. and it will not do that

yes it will get some portal to remember that in some guinea and communities it don't carry out excision but in fibula. this so the lab you are together so that they can be ripped open on the wedding night them up it will be where years dishy it caught us scars which lead to infections which has also. thoughts of consequently sick at least that is if he got too many to name one cause it was a fixture the can even lead to death he only got to see it because it often if was this it would be a good septum important. girls are still being cut jaring initiation rituals in the forest without anaesthetic naturally the girls put up a fight so several women restrain them and push them to the ground it's not uncommon for the girls to end up with broken bones. pacha and our fellow campaigners in the younger leaders club are often on the road

in guinea to raise awareness they use films to spread their message on issues such as sex education their goal is to help women and girls emancipate themselves and to know their rights that's vital in a country where every other girl is married off before her eighteenth birthday sixty three percent of marriages are arranged and eighty five percent of women report experiences of domestic violence. all these what. we're reaching out at the grassroots level and he's also quite easy we hope that educated professional goals won't fall victim to g.m. or get forced into marriage who expect to see positive results on missed you could lose it does it up was it if cultures can change hatcher and her fellow complainants i'm sure of that they're fighting for a new guinea one which has no place for violence against women and girls

cow's milk the researchers are hoping to pair up herdsman with urban entrepreneurs to produce a line of new products with an emphasis on the health benefits of camels milk. but we saw that there were many many locals there were very honestly it can manage that by one because what. india are being told it over to corporate we can make yours or merely. converting indians to camel milk could be a tough sell many in the country worship cowers and their products sacred but reika and his fellow named maps are still hoping it will be one way of keeping the ships of the desert afloat. now to south korea and the power to clone a clinic is fulfilling the dreams of pet owners who want to keep their best friend
