optimism. critics fear it will be difficult to overcome the deep divisions after the last two years of personal attacks and animosity. pres. trump: than any administration in the history of our country. phil: let's get more on this from griff witte, a bureau chief of the washington post. griff: i think the president will make a call for bipartisanship and national unity. this is not the message we are used to hearing from donald trump, but it is the message he delivered a year ago, at his last state of the union. i think that as with the last state of the union address, he will make this call for bipartisanship, and then he will go back to bashing the democrats, and democrats will go back to bashing him. phil: it is quite interesting, isn't it? this is a president with a lot to shout about. he has a booming economy. unemployment is high. things are going relatively well for him. griff: they are, and yet we also had a government shutdown last

month, where the government was shut down for a historically long couple of time. we will hear him tonight also make the case for the border wall, the issue that did shut down the government. there is a disagreement between democrats and the president over whether the funding will be there for the border wall. i think he is going to make a very strong case again to say, "democrats, you need to pay for this wall." predictably, the democrats are going to say "no way." phil: clearly, the wall has been an issue all of the last year. the fact that we are expecting it to be front and center of this speech, what does he expect to achieve with this speech and this wall now, in this setting, that he did not through the last two years of his presidency? griff: it is not clear. he has threatened another government shutdown in a couple of weeks if the democrats do not approve funding for this wall. there is one trick he has in his

bag that he could decide to pull out. he could declare a national emergency and say "i am going to overrule the democrats and basically take this funding myself, and pay for this wall myself." the problem with that is you do not have republican unity on this issue. you do not have the entire republican party behind him. if he were to do that, he would potentially not only anger the democrats, but divide the republican party. that is a very risky thing for a president to do, when he is governing just with his base. phil: dw has been out and about on the streets, talking to people about what they expect from the president. let's see what they have to say. reporter: julian brothers bakery is a fixture in this to trite suburb, one of the few small, locally-run operations left. every morning for the past 48 years, richard julian has served the neighborhood everything from deli meats to birthday cakes. the bakery is also situated on

the edge of a county that was pivotal for trump's victory, outside of detroit. julian, like a some of his employees and many customers, votefofor trum he believes the term has been good for his 30 0 employees s ad his bakeryry. richarard: donald trump was a little much of a stretch for me in the beginning. but when he became the nominee of the party, i backed him, because he was a businessman. reporter: this is exactly the sort of small, middle american establishment that was at the heart of trump's campaign message -- to lift up the little guy y and stick it to the eliti. an educator and neighbhborhood rededent said s she was attractd to trump and his mesessage in pt becacause of how different hee sounded. >> the more i liststened and the momore i heardrd his concrcreti. -- concretetizing i ideas, t the are my ideas.

that is when i begegan to watch. the first debate, i was almost inside the tv. i thought,t, what am i listeteng ? this is very interesting. it was so different. it was not stayed. it was just different. reporter: they don't love everything. everyone mentioned that his tweeting can be cringe worthy, that he has a tendency to speak without thinking, and his personal life can be messy. but a bakeryy regular a and lifelong m michigan residenent d despitite everything, , she wano see the president succeed. >> i wouould like to see him tae us back t to the days whehen pee were people, n not units arere objects or numbers, or classifications. pepeople were pepeople. we hadad respect foror one anot. i i like some of the things he s done on the spur o of the momen. i justst -- i really like the m, and i want to see him continue with his goals and get most of them accomplished. reporter: not e everyone in the

nehbhborhood is s a trump supporter, and some family ties have been strained. gary millburn, an employee at the bakery, has daughters who do not like trump. he says h underststood their objections, but he still voted for term. gary: family is nonot thrilleded with me, because i did vote for trump. he has made definitely many statements regarding grabbing women by the whatever, and doing this and that, which to me is a lot of locker room talk. reporter: two years into trump's term as president, the country is still divided. there have been shocking announcements, scandals. treaties haveve been torn up. with t these people e vote for p again? richchd: yes. >> if he runs again. i hope you will. >> i willl vote for him again. i want ththis to contntinue. gagary: i would vote for him agn depending on who is s running

against him. repoporter: at this stage, a tre republicanhallllenger lookoks unlikely, and the democrats will have a tall order to win back the hearts of these voters. at julian's bakery, it seems trump would have no trouble getting reelected for a second term. phil: a report from julian's bakery by maya shwayder in washington, who joins us now. welcome. the house that the president faces today will be very different to the one he faced a year ago. maya: absolutely. this is a very different dynamic now that his first two-state of the unions. and a very different capitol hill. it is a raw moment, coming just after the end of this government shutdown, possibly looking into the abyss of another one, depending on what happens. what is interesting is we just heard from a bunch of trump voters.

this is all based on the tussle over a border wall. there is a statistic that 78% of conservative republicans actually support the president declaring a national emergency in order to get money for the border wall, which is what has been widely predicted he might be doing, possibly during or after the state of the union coming up tonight. this would be quite a grenade to throw in the middle of these very delicate negotiations that are inching forward, trying to avoid another government shutdown. phil: we have the shutdown, which of course related to the border wall, inasmuch as the house speaker said "you are not having your money for this, and you are not delivering your state of the union until the shutdown is over." so the shutdown is over for now. i wonder how people, how non-politicians regard this

tussle between the executive and the house. maya: one of the things about the government shutdown was the huge amount of blowback just from the normal people on the street. the government workers, your average people who have a job and want to go do their job, and want to earn their paycheck and live their life -- this back and forth on capitol hill really blew up in the president's face, because it was these normal people, some of whom had voted for him, who were being deeply, deeply hurt by their inability to work, the government refusing to allow them to work and be paid. what we also saw was parts of trump's ace cracking a bit under the strain of this shutdown. people starting to make noises that this was not a good idea. there is another part of the

base saying we need this wall and it is going to be a centerpiece of the reelection campaign moving forward. he is in a tough spot. to please his base, he needs to not shut the government down again, and somehow run his border wall and build his border wall. phil: griff witte he from "the washington post," what do we expect here on the domestic agenda? griff: i think he will hamammer ththe wall being a big one. immigration is such a big element in u.s. politics right now. it is the most divisive issue perhaps, one of the most divisive issues. as my us said, he is under a lot of pressure to actually make good on this commitment. it was such a major aspect of his campaign. he said it over and over again. "we are going to build this wall." if there is not a wall when he runs for reelection, that will be hard for him to explain to voters. phil: because he made such a big

thing of it. thank you for the conversation. griff witte from "the washington post," and maia schrader -- maya shwayder in washington as well. the central african republic has signed a new piece deal with 14 armed groups that control much of the country. the agreement seeks to end years of fighting that has killed thousands of people and displaced hundreds of thousands. hundreds of mourners have marched through a villagege in e west bank, carrying the body of a 21-year-old palestinian killed on monday by israeli troops. another man was injured during the same incident. israel says the men through -and next- threw -- the men through an excessive device at soldiers. theresa may told ireland she commits to preventing a hard border. her speech in belfast was meant

president macron's economic program. the action was organized by the cgt labor union, to call for what they say is a fairer tax system. the rallies were joined by key figures from the yellow vests movement, which has also been protesting against the president. max hofmann has been in paris, covering the strike. max: just another protest in the heart of paris. at the same time, it is also a new kind of protest. for the first time, the yellow vests are teaming up with the large trade union. at this demonstration, we saw all kinds of people -- public-sector workers, the yellow vests, trade unionists, but also members of the black bloc. what this mix will end up being is unclear at the moment, because france and emmanuel macron are at a crossroads. can the government regain the momentum? it is probably the first time in months that it had the chance,

reaching out to the french to show that emmanuel macron can compromise and at the same time try to crack down hard on the violent elements. phil: max hofmann in paris. this is "dw news." still to come, the clinic in seoul's cloning dogs for the rich and famous. but do the canines cross an ethical redline? the european union looks like we to block a big rail deal between the major german and french companies. siemens and alstom were hoping to merge met train manufacturing businesses to become more competitive on the national market, but antitrust regulators are expected to veto the deal on wednesday because of concerns about its impact on competition within the e.u. meanwhile, germany has unveiled a new strategy to protect its industrial sector in the face of new challenges.

economy minister peter altmaier unveiled the national industrial strategy in frankfurt. behind the snappy title, a change in german thinking. he wants the state to intervene more in the economy to stopop vital parts s being sold o off o foreign investors. reporter: german companies like siemens and others against hostile takeovers. that is part of the strategy which elevates industrial success to the national interest area after recent years saw china by one company after another, the economic affairs minister says he cannot afford to sell high-tech patents to foreign powers. >> i think that when certain countries and specific companies use very aggressive tactics to expand their markett share that we have the right and responsibility to respond. reporter: the economy minister

sees a greater role for the state and relief for businesses in areas like energy costs and taxes. mergers should be made easier. but critics warn of too much government involvement. it is equivalent to guaranteeing the existence of individual businesses. some firms right in profits and others are frankly pretty wobbly. all my also said german companies need to lead the pack when it comes to innovation and new technologies like artificial intelligence or driving systems for cars of the future. berlin is planning to help t te startt the developopment with billions in new investment, which should also help protect german jobs. phil: clemens fuest is from one of europe's leading business think tank's. his germany's economic situtuatn soso bad it needs a natioional strategy like the one presented today? it -- clemens: it is not b bad,

but the queuestion is the futur. how sustatainable is ththe posin of german industry? there are reasosons for concern. there is the issue of ththe car induststry, the diesesel technoy may be phased out in the future. i think it iss true that germany needs to think about the f futu. the question is what the right strategy is. phil: on to sport, and football leagues with an internet platform on the murkier side of the game. when it was launched, it had some real effects. ask cousin marino -- jose mourin ho. his name appeared in leaked documents and he is being fined 2 million euros to avoid a jail sentence in spain for tax fraud. mourinho had already been required to pay more than a million euros in 2015. at the time, he admitted to two counts of tax fraud, dating from

his time as coach. rui pinto, the 30-year-old portuguese man widely believed to have been the mastermind of the leaks, has gone public. following his recent arrest in budapest, he spoke to german broadcaster ard. reporter: a secret location in budapest. it is here in this modest apartment building where rui pinto wants to give his side of the story. on january 16, he was arrested in the hungarian capital, in response to a portuguese arrest weren't on charges of attempted extortioion and cyber crimes. he is under house arrest, wearing an ankle monitor, while awaiting a decision on whether he is a whistleblower who legally obtained the documents, which could exonerate him, or whether he is a cyber criminal, a hacker, which could lead to extradition. rui: i am a whistleblower. what matters for me and fofor

football leagues is the documents s are authentic. i do not care about the ororigi. i amam a whistleblblower. i have to expose and gifted journalists, -- and give to credible journalists the real deal. reporter: confidential plans for an elite super league. or how the fee for president held top -- helped clubs get around financial fair play rules. rui pinto admitted to contacting a sports company under a false name. the m meeting was organized, whh led to allegations of attempted extortion. rui: i think i was naive. i did something stupid. i decided to play with thehem. and i am basically -- i said that i have e some documents abt doyan. i wanted to see their reaction. i wanted to know how -- how

in 2015, with the aim of publicizing documents related to corruption and illegal activity in the world of football. initially, these revelations were things like player salaries and tax evasion. over the last 12 months, they have taken a more sinister air. for example, allegations of match fixing against one of the biggest clubs in portugal. in its most high profile case, evidence related to rape allegations against cristiano ronaldo, which are under investigation in las vegas. that has been released. he claimed to be in possession of more than 70 millionon documents at the time of his arrest, so we do not know if this is the tip of the iceberg. phil: let's talk about the allegations facing rui pinto. ed: he is awaiting the verdict of a hungarian court to find out if he will be extradited back to portugal. there, he faces charges of cybercrime and extortion. he claims he is an honest

whistleblower, but portuguese authorities claimed he obtained these documents illegally. he is a hacker, essentially. that is a cybercrime charge. they also claim he tried to use the information he uncovered to extort money from an organization in exchange for his silence. phil: we heard him in the interview, saying he fears for his life. are things that serious? ed: they are indeed. he claims he has received death threats through social media and email, and that authorities told him to them seriously. he is worried about going to prison in portugal, because he believes people associated with the portuguese plug -- club i mentioned that he said had match fixed -- she is worried there would be people in prison out to get him, fans and people associated with the club. phil: ed mccambridge will continue to follow that of course. thank you for that. now, no happy ending for lindsay phone -- lindsay von at the skiing championship in sweden.
