my money. first two. two explosions at its peak. you do the eye. i can. coming up on rte the state of dubbing you get to the president say anything groundbreaking last night. or was he upstaged by a congressman who granted to a reporter on the balcony door and back coming up. and on capitol hill leaders from the major u s intelligence agencies are meeting to discuss local press conference. it's no surprise that talking terrorism but there's also concern over a week or is like the average snow depth. lauren and in

just a moment. and will take a look at the shocking number of people dying in police custody in local us jails lives lost due to the failure of staff to administer routine yet critical medicines will hear stories from families affected. later on. the one day january twenty nine by yet here in washington d c it. i'm liz wall when you're watching rt america. president obama addressed the nation last night for the annual state of the union speech. after that speech the situation turned a grand for one reporter covering on a covering the event and an ally one news reporter was interviewing representative michael grant and ask him a question about any investigation into illegal fund raising for

the congressman's campaign all this outrage granted and resorted to granting the reporter anna was all caught on camera. i know i'm leaving you with an eye on him. it says. graham defended his actions a later apologize to that reporter he trains at that debate i knew this i dare to talk more about the state of the union on joined now by art to correspond in a camo pants and rt producer katie fischer welcome ladies. so maggie and hopefully enter you are there covering this hopefully you didn't face the wrath of grandma were some of

the highlights free of all the highlight for me and the decision was not being threatened the highlight obviously this was a much more moderate speech that president obama delivered in any of this and the unions that was in the past that smart and effective action that he threatened and screws up his is among the highlights. he pulls the same things that he has in years past. he promised once again that he wants guantanamo bay closed for good in the detainee is transferred out of it. he wanted to raise the wage he wants to reform the tax code we formed voting rights in america can really and he couldn't comment on very briefly immigration and gun control and also he defended that the health care obviously he was playing the fence and then in the wake of the nsa reform scandal and in the wake of the obama cares of failed the rollout. sophie is really on the defense and on in this state of the union as never before. on the offensive as we've seen he's had a hard time getting b is a lot of these things done but take a look at the approval ratings the increase in ratings for

our elected leaders going and said that's fatal attack on this purse and there it gets approval rating is at eighty one point six percent of their approval rating a very loud just over twelve percent there an hour looking at the president's ratings his disapproval rating is at forty nine percent approval rating only at forty three percent of the forty three percent is near. below is that we've seen in his presidency. of course katie frustration over his ability to get things done. last night he announced executive order is mentioned in touch upon him briefly their executive orders that he is going to take and how the climate in washington d c how low these approval ratings are up lead up to date this tag as a last resort for half the time to choose to get anything done something really has and he is appealing his lowest approval ratings are for. and congress not doing so hot either. worse in fact. and so she's trying to get something done and to do so he feels he asked research these executive power is trying to

pass legislation you heard in the speech that you know when you when there is progress meeting where increasingly there is progress being made in the house in immigration center of the door with me being hurt by what who you know when you start hearing things that he can get done he was calling for the season orders i mean this is the least productive congress since nineteen forty seven calm but also spoke with some nice people. we signed that he knows some of these and democrats are ok with these executive orders like many times people see that we decided you're stepping into the separation of powers issue you need to take a step back. our job if you have the talent so right way and i reheated the executive orders. some see it as a last resort some cac and taking it too far maybe you had mentioned earlier some of these promises they even made one of them in his closing get mild that's a promise that many see as i promised not a failed day and i think or

when you hear the speech is a kind of reasons these questions a i love how much of it is the rhetoric coming to visit just talk and how much is it is going to be a reality. the sydney uni historically has been more or less of a new wish list the president sets out each year. one thing that is different with this state of the union address versus other ones. is this will only look back more on the accomplishments and hannah was more of a pat on the back persons looking for work the other thing that that was really different about this one isn't in tone down some of that rhetoric making it again one of the more moderate speech is that we've seen come out of him in recent history. under the influence of rhetoric versus an actual accomplishments. it's very hard to determine right now colony of this is going to be done obviously isn't very big west just moving the federal minimum wage job will be a huge battle both they and local governments as well as federally. yes you can find checking for errors by really you know it's going to take out one of the smaller battles and many

congressional battles in terms of immigration that something that almost everybody agrees nice to have been but still it's not happening in a silo there's a lot of different issues that show i guess absolutely be on the agenda and absolutely be done but we just don't know and right now anyway how congress is an act especially considering the fact that we are about to enter into twenty fourteen in town election where all the seats can be jumbled as any kind of thing that the republicans if they did eat more seats and everything could change the name just a pen and go back and look over the night i didn't put a piece together to plan it that really highlights some new things and he did talk about the things he didn't talk about hand is on the things that were hoping to see moving forward. sixty years ago president obama is message to congress and the nation with one of hope and change when that opportunity. prosperity. yes we can heal this nation. a term and a half later that message has transformed to

bits. make this a year of action. a year of action after arguably one of the least productive years in congressional history the president's speech comes during a time when the white house and national security agency on the fence the president said the approval ratings have slipped to forty three percent. piggy backing off from recent nsa surveillance brief form speech the president once again promised change but this time for a scandal he helps perpetuate working with this congress i will reform our surveillance programs because the vital work of our intelligence community depends on confidence here and abroad. the privacy of ordinary people was not being violated. mayor reforms congress is largely on board with a date and the nsa needs to be reformed. i think on receipt of that opinion. i don't think that to take the partisan issue and we wanna make sure that the privacy of the american people is protected consistent with that. making

sure that and we overcome any threat we have from terrorists and i think we can achieve both goals at the same time we gotta make sure that as technology changes. we also make sure that our values remain consistent but how many of those pledges actually going to affect america's most secretive operations is still questionable at this point another is due largely glazed over drones. there are only mentioned america must move off the permanent war footing uh uh. that's why i've imposed term limits on the use of drugs. we will not be safer. the people abroad believe we strike within their countries without regard for the consequences consequences like civilian casualties. according to the bureau of investigative journalism. at least twenty four hundred people were killed by strikes in pakistan yemen and somalia in the past five years. hundreds of them are believed to be civilians including children

consequences like international retribution pakistani prime minister nawaz sharif has voiced strong condemnation against the drone program and amazing for its end. the issue of domestic council is not addressed. despite the fact that posting you leave the industry and the number of drone permits issued are skyrocketing in terms of foreign policy the president mentioned afghanistan iraq and syria in brief but largely tawny us accomplishments instead of laying out up and moving forward. continuing with his plans to end american aggression abroad. he appealed to congress to rethink relations with iran let me be clear. in this congress sends me a new sanctions bill now that threatens to the rail these trials i will veto it the for the sake of our national security. we must give diplomacy a chance to succeed. the issue of loosening sanctions had a

sore spot for many members of congress the congress is deeply concerned that iran may be building a nuclear weapon we have to deal with the threat in iran as it relates to the possibility of them acquiring a nuclear weapon no decent person in the congress in the country across the world thinks that it's a good idea for ransom by a nuclear capability every year promises are made and every year more than a few of them are broken president obama spent the majority of the speech focusing on domestic economic issues like tax reform and raising the minimum wage. in twenty thirteen president obama promised medicare reform tax reform and a budget. mix your form has yet to happen. tax reform is nowhere closer to coming up for debate. and the recent attack on target proves that america is a cyber security is more vulnerable than ever congress didn't pass a budget but only after a three week government shutdown despite the president's push to tying the minimum wage to the cost of living has twenty thirteen speech. not even a

ten dollar ten sen proposal the president offered for federal employees this year meet cent mark. this dear president obama made even more promises during his stint in the union address but qantas has ultimate say in how much of that which was thrilling it's nine am with midterm elections right around the corner it's alien race against time to see how many of those pledges will really be fulfilled before campaign season kicks into gear. in washington. meghan up as artsy. and on capitol hill senior intelligence officials met today to discuss the worldwide rats leaders from the c i a and fbi face questions from senators on how they're handling current and future threats. ellie's some of the lawmakers believe one of the greatest threats is a leaking government secrets this prompted a heated debate over former and as a contractor and would snow again. so what exactly are the biggest threats in housing administration dealing with them. i took our son and harry and boring is on the health has warned us
