between the president and the most powerful democrat in washington u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi. and. the national prayer breakfast in washington traditionally it's a nonpartisan gathering designed to promote unity and reconciliation the day after his then acquittal president trump was a no mood for forgiveness. as everybody knows my family our great country. and your president have been put through a terrible ordeal. by some very dishonest and corrupt people. they have done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing very badly hurt our nation a clear swipe at democratic leader nancy pelosi who were seated just down the table

from trump fortitude and struck for months she had been meeting the charge to remove him from office later in the day palosi fired back. and at play hard for him because he's so off the track of our constitution our values our country the air our children prays the water they drink and the rest he really needs our prayers but trump was still hoping to get the last word in a televised address at the white house the president targeted the u.s. house speaker once more nancy pelosi is a horrible person. and she wanted to impeach a long time ago when she said i prefer the president i pray for the president pray she may pray but she prays for the opposite but i doubt she prays it all and these are vicious people least did it likely won't be the president's last salvo in his ongoing feud with the most powerful woman in washington. the impeachment may be in

the rearview mirror but today's hostilities signal more bitter division lies ahead . well for more on donald trump's post impeachment speech and what this could mean for the election coming up let's cross to g.w. correspondent all of a salad in washington hi there all of trump's speech felt like a cross between a triumphant lap of him repeating that he's a victim and also a warning of sorts how is what he said being interpreted over there. well jared is fancy law firm for what he is really but if you talk to critics they would rather interpret this as a very bizarre and unpresidential appearance probably one of the most bizarre appearances he's had a long time and he's also had this very vindictive tone there at the speech you just showed an excerpt in this report that was very telling because it gave you a look into his world view where divides people into bad and evil who oppose him

versus those who support him adam schiff for instance the leader at leading manager in the impeachment trial and mitt romney the senator who convicts him were called vicious he also called in to close of the speaker of the house a horrible person and what's really interesting here also and what stands out if you if you compare his response to the one of bill clinton after his impeachment trial where he apologized to the american people essentially saying that he was profoundly sorie to trigger all that and well president trump didn't offer that quite an extraordinary speech all of it let's look a little bit further what implications does the impeachment and the acquittal have on the upcoming election you know can trump be trusted for example to avoid the kinds of activities that got him under investigation in the 1st place. what we learned from that speech is a trump pretty much things that he did everything right of the democrats are the

evil and that added to it certainly set the tone for the complained that we're going to see in the next months with regards to his conduct that is very unlikely to change and that's also one of the reasons why the democrats 3 decided to impeach him in the 1st place because trump in his presidency follows a certain pattern of totalitarian interpretation of the presidential office if you will also remember the report of special counsel robert mahler and all the unflattering details he unveiled there so we might see some of the coming up again plus of course a very divisive campaign all of it would contact about the impeachment and the process we've been talking about the democratic party that had lost the impeachment process and they still have to digest the fiasco surrounding the caucus results in iowa what type of shape is the party in there certainly not in their best moment right now jarrett well the acquittal was clear it was clear that the president will be acquitted after this trial so the democrats were nevertheless

hoping for a shift in the public momentum there that never came and they were trying to make the case here that the republicans were hiding the truth when they did not allow witnesses and evidence so now they have to decide how they want to move on if they want to subpoena candidates and testify and here additional tests moni is like the one of john bolton outside the framework of impeachment or return to the traditional election topics correspondent all of us on it in washington thank you paula. here are some of the other stories making news around the world today a palestinian man who opened fire on the israeli security forces in jerusalem has been shot dead 2 more palestinians were killed in clashes with israeli forces in the west bank as tensions in the region rise israeli authorities also arista demand accused of ramming his car into a group of soldiers injuring at least 12 people. the most notorious hit man.

went to the golden capital one to find out. no wonder the capital of angola on display in the city center is evidence of the massive oil wealth that has poured into the southern african country in recent decades. but just a few kilometers away is another angola one of poverty and mass unemployment. we ask locals as the new president changed anything. there is a change but it's all happening much too slowly. nothing has changed yet and we don't even have drinking water you know. it out of the city the government should at least deal with waste removal of us when it rains here there are floods that sometimes drag away our children our houses are ruined

to this we have many problems here. but we want the new president runs so to think about us. things are very bad for us here our country is rich but we don't see any of it. people have a lot of money but we are suffering here. your wilder and so took office 2 years ago his predecessor had been in power for 38 years lorenzo's ernest attempts at confronting the rampant corruption have surprised many here he's even confronted former party allies. it's precisely because i have seen these high levels of corruption. because i think it must be stopped. there we are fighting what we've witnessed for decades. it might be comfortable for us to leave things as they were before. who would that be

correct. my. son we have a chance to make a change. and this is the right time to do it a woman. lauren so is even going after the former president's children especially isabel little son to push she's africa's richest woman and has been accused of illegally diverting hundreds of millions of dollars from state coffers to a company's. many important businesses are still controlled by isabel just santos and the leaked documents the so-called one the leaks showed she could often count on the help of her father the former president's it will probably take years and so the courts can establish the scale of the corruption in the country and punish the perpetrators. so has the era of corrupt elites in angola past residents

of the capital under the slums have their doubts they want to see concrete results . where the hills outside kabul were once used by the taliban to pound the afghan capital with rockets and mortars but today the hindu kush mountain range is home to a group of enthusiastic young boarders they don't have a ski lift and they don't have any official help but the founders of the afghan snowboarding federation have big plans for this force. snowboarding seems an unlikely leisure pursuit in the hills outside the afghan capital but at 1800 meters above sea level kabul is one of the highest capital cities in the world these local youths are making the most of winter in the hindu kush mountain range that surrounds the city it's no boarding a mosque snowboarding is the new face of afghanistan we established the afghan snowboarding federation to show this new face of the world. that they can see that

in a country where there is fighting and ethnic problems it's still not all about the war. and the youth is involved as well as both boys and girls like knowledge eleanor in the 90 ninety's from these very hills taliban fighters rained down artillery and rockets on kabul now they're one of the few places in the country where ahmed and his friends can snowboard in safety another is the central province of bamiyan famous around the world as the site of one of the greatest cultural crimes in recent memory the deliberate destruction in 2001 of the ancient buddhist statues that wants looked out over the valley from this cliff face the taliban isn't just a presence in memory the group still controls around half of the country. if the taliban come back it's impossible to snowboard because they aren't sports friendly

people. they don't want pace and they don't want sports so if they come back we won't be able to snowboard. the newer thing in the future role of the taliban in afghanistan is unclear as things stand and his mates can practice their new hobby in peace for at least as long as the snow dos. or record breaking u.s. astronaut christina carter has returned to earth alongside fellow crew members from the international space station all 3 landed safely on a sunny hillside in kazakhstan coke's mission broke the record for the longest continuous stay in spice by a woman she spent 328 days aboard the i.o.c. this having left earth in march 29 tain while away the trial blazing astronaut also participated in the 1st all female spice walk along side fellow american jessica nia. you're watching t
