prayer breakfast in washington today should only 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 straight for months she had been leading 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 after country the air our children prays a lot are 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 pretty she may pray but she prays for the opposite but i doubt you president 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. impeachment may be in the rearview mirror but today's hostilities signaled 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 on him repeating that he's a victim and also a warning of sorts how is what he's 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 on presidential 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 served in this report that was very telling because it gave you a look into his worldview where divides people into bad and evil who oppose him versus those who support him adam schiff for instance the 3 leader at leading manager in the impeachment trial of mitt romney the senator who convicted him were

called vicious he also called the anti pelosi the speaker of the house a horrible person and what's really interesting here also and what stands out 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 story to trigger all that and well president trump did not at 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 here is a trump pretty much things that he did everything right of the democrats are the evil and that added cute certainly set the tone for the come pain 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 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 press is 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 knowledge jarrett well the acquittal was clear it was clear 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 hear additional tests moni is like the one of john bolton outside the framework of impeachment or can return to the traditional election topics correspondent all of a sonnet in washington thank you paula. here are some of the other stories making news around the world in iowa the democratic party has declared the winner of the state's caucuses monday's contest was the 1st to choose the democratic candidate to run against president donald trump in november's election the vote was hit by technical problems and. narrowly defeated senator bernie sanders. thousands of orthodox have gathered in cities across montenegro to protest a new religious law or demonstrations have picked up steam since the law was

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. but i am without any sleep 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 too 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. joe wilder and so took office 2 years ago his predecessor had been in power for 38 years lorenzo ernest attempts at confronting the rampant corruption have surprised many here he's even confronted

and as the leaked documents of the so-called showed she could often count on the help of her father the former president it will probably take years answered 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 . or 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 no borders they don't have a ski lift and they get no official help the founders of the afghan snowboarding federation have big plans for their sport. 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 snowboarding and. 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 chardon are in the 1990 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. 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. you're watching t.v. news from belgium coming up is our film documentary featuring the sound of freedom looking at 200 years of the music of hope and protest there is more on our web site
