a raft of new faces in the world's political arena with plenty of opportunities to get up close and personal with the old guard those things didn't always go smoothly . first of all the. fellow. says. this is. old china and this will.

hurt. and one of the most anticipated events all twenty seven seen with the styles of donald trump in the white house the president took to twitter overnight to congratulate americans on the new year and stress together then making the country great again here's a quick look back at the man who's turned us politics on its head. could you could you be. like a smart person. being fully how my doing my job ok ambrosia i presume that you believe that. as donald trump celebrates his second christmas after being elected u.s. president we're going to go over his top twenty seventeen stocking stuffers

memorable moments from his first year in the white house. thank you everybody thank you very much. well i'm. going to go to. work. for you mike. this isn't the kind of behavior that you'd normally expect from a u.s. president during an official meeting you also wouldn't expect twitter to be turned

into an official white house channel but as commander in chief donald trump has actually given america's teenagers a run for their money with over two thousand five hundred tweets. much like charles dickens fictional real estate owner manhattan's favorite scrooge has his very own ghost of christmas past the rush of collusion the story just doesn't seem to go away as the probes and investigations continue despite the lack of any sustainable evidence now donald trump's twenty seventeen holiday wish list includes

a second special counsel to investigate bob muller the first special counsel who was appointed to investigate donald trump now this could be a slippery slope next there could be a third special counsel appointed by congress to investigate down from second this could just go on and on and on. i. don't know that you can it's hard for me i see in here to everything you do because you're a ghost. so donald trump decided to make good on one of his election promises and bring peace to the middle east oh wait it was his other election promise to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital so far no peace we wish you a very happy hanukkah. and i think this one will go down as especially special. right now i'm thinking about what's going on and the love that's all over israel and all about jerusalem the president has

had plenty to boast about in twenty seven sand especially his range of very dangerous toys we are so proud of our military that it was another successful offense. to what happens as i said we just launched a. missile. heading to iraq. had it just syria. yes heading toward syria now this time of year a lot of us enjoy word games with our family and friends well donald trump doesn't care what time of year it is or how dangerous the game might get take his challenger kim jong un the north korean crisis left us all breathless wondering if the next word might be world war three we are totally prepared for the second

option totally destroy north korea is a sick puppy rocket man is on a suicide mission for him so what the president is doing this so your strong secure line which you're going to hear the north korean regime is calling president trump's words a load of nonsense north korea's supreme leader fired back at trump accusing the president of being a mentally deranged u.s. korean insult roughly meaning senile idiot obviously he's a pretty smart cookie well whether you support him or not twenty seventeen was quite a spectacular year for donald trump there's been explosions late nights on twitter and a regional shake ups twenty eighteen is now here and it seems like the potest has plenty more up his sleeve. artsy new york it seems the standoff between washington and pyongyang is set to continue in twenty a scene with the north korean leader targeting the u.s.

and his new year's speech kim jong un stressed he had the nuclear person at home and. the entire u.s. mainland is within the range of zero nuclear strike on the bus and is always on the table in my office space you clearly know that this is certainly not a threat a reality but the remark by the leader of highly irresponsible and is to be. discouraged by all means why has the right to defend itself is what it about threats from the united states in terms of regime change all assassination of its leader all. simply invasion into its territory right now the situation is in a stalemate. he has time to develop a super weapon in a more and more sophisticated way and the united states has not yet reached the point of deciding to use military means to solve the problem but i don't think

everything has been exhausted tried the best even though all the likelihood of a diplomatic solution has become a remote and remoter another new political leader in twenty seventeen was a french president among remark wrong when he saw him as a man of the people but he began with controversial labor reforms and triggered mass protests mccrone wants to make it easier for companies to hire and fire people and reduce the power of collective bargaining well that's good french workers but the president thinks that just being lazy i will be absolutely determined i will not yield in any way not to slack not cynics not to extremists.

to the king of the slack as the king of the rich he was compared to napoleon which wasn't helped when news leaked out about his lavish fortieth birthday party. it. was. about.

twenty seventeen so the full of islamic state in syria and iraq but leaving behind hall take and devastation for civilians here's a recap of the battle against the deadly terror group.

thousands of women and children have been left without and also and also i saw militants died during the fighting and he launched a campaign in twenty seventeen to bring back a band and russian children flo iraq among them all two sisters had. has that story . more. on a. close look at game one of the school who was ready to serve. it was a mom i knew a little more and more to be. just not all that not only block family.

it or me out. ill mom auto dropping me off. she. was. like chill. first carrying a world the world in my eyes. coming up fresh casualties at massive protests in iran we have all the details for you after this short break. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted will

reject. so when you want to be president and. or somehow want to press. you to go on to be press this is what the fourth three in the morning can't be good for. i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. my. i thank you. welcome back

a man has opened fire in the city of niger for killing one and wounding three others according to iranian state television and earlier reported that ten people had been killed over night during protests across the country but has now been twelve deaths as the unrest and tis a fifth day the causes of death there are as yet unclear however several protesters reportedly tried to take over police stations and military bases and were repelled by security forces on saturday state t.v. had reported two other fatal injuries government officials stress the police have never opened fire at the rallies on the protests were originally against high prices but turned political and spread across the country they have been met by massive counter demonstrations in support of iran's leadership president has an rouhani then held a ministerial meeting to solve the economic problems causing public discontent

earlier he reaffirms that people are free to rally as long as there is move islands . in recent days we have witnessed protests and everyone must be aware of this point that we are a free nation and according to the constitution and human rights the people are absolutely free to criticize the government and even protest but their protests should be in such a way as to prove. the situation in the country we the government will not tolerate some protesters who want to destroy public property will disrupt public discipline and create turmoil in society our people will not tolerate it either. we won't donald trump has posted his sick tweet in just three days on the protests in iran he wrote that iranian people are hungry for food and for freedom he accused the country's government of human rights violations and claimed it time for change political analyst camel was nice as it was the us itself that sparks the economic

situation leading to these protests in the first place. the problems with with the policy of the united states the united states using economic leverage against countries around the world the policy of the united states actually was the stuff of life in iran they're not happy with their view they want to change of the g.m. there was out very clearly in their strategy for two thousand and four two thousand and seventeen two thousand and eighteen but i think mr trump he's still meddling inside the parties of the year and basically the statement that has been coming from the white house from his. story is story of a lot of suspicions specially the claim by the hearing and some of those people who were shot there was trouble without having their reunion police open only fire so this is called for a lot of questions whose meddling in iranian security issues. every

thousand people have gathered in ukraine's capital for a torch lit march commemorating a controversial nationalist leader january the first marks one hundred nine years since the birth of stepan bandera a symbol of ukrainian nationalism and a nazi collaborator under a force for hitler in world war two his faction waged an ethnic cleansing campaign that killed tens of thousands of polish civilians mostly women and children his popularity surged after ukraine's two thousand and fourteen revolution people at the rally chanted nationalist slogans carried red and black flags of the nationalist movement similar rallies were held across ukraine. and over a dozen instance of sexual assault have been reported at new year's celebrations in the german capital berlin. there were incidents of sexual harassment in the event from gates we have detained seven suspects the suspects were predominately

young men from syria or afghans. well as despite safe zones for women being set up there for the first time special tents were meant to keep those meant to help those seeking physical and psychological help that you're in the outdoor party in the iconic brandenburg gate we spoke to women who say the zones still don't make them feel safe. here at the sites and i'm feeling safe but in the crowd we can take care of ourselves but i don't feel safe you know. touch me. again. well three suspects were also detained at celebrations in cologne according to local media after nine women reported being sexually assaulted this year special wristbands were introduced to the festivities as part of a campaign against sexual misconduct the head of the campaign claims the response

reminds people not to sexually attack others or shoot fireworks at individuals buildings or police it comes in the wake of the twenty fifth day new year celebrations in germany which saw over a thousand women assaulted alone was among the worst affected. are now. everything in my right. where. there were very bright very. good. men. and there were. they could be worth more than a drunk and they were rubbing their. it

. it. we discussed the issue with british former intelligence officer and i'm a sean she believes safe zones for women may not be the best idea especially since jim north or eighty's should tackle offenders are not the victims while i think it's a good initiative in order to make people feel women feel safe however it's perhaps targeting the wrong group you know you need to investigate the people who might be perpetrating attacks and stop those attacks rather than offering a safe haven for women after those attacks happened i can start understand why the general services did this and that in particularly after the assault as you mentioned in cologne two years ago as well as dortmund just the door of hamburg i mean it was all across the country so obviously there are legitimate concerns but it sort of implicitly states that actually women are not safe outside that area

germans germany is one of the leading western liberal democracies in the world and yet women cannot feel safe to go out on the streets to celebrate a public holiday what does that say about equality what's that say about human rights for women in germany these days i'll be back at the top of the hour with the headlines of the about. level was selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles that don't. produce offspring to tell you that what we gossiped a couple of us fell for the most important news today. about has been telling you on the cool enough and wants to buy their product. these are the

hawks that we along with all those walking around. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we do is do or don't like us there's nobody oh visitation i don't know what comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's cost effective that's what they want to do that long they don't give a damn if you did so it's on that they're actually paying us to put it back and. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s.n. breach what secrets is behind such success. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided

to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response of the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution you heard someone wanted to ring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all the news there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. hello

and welcome across the uk where all things are considered futile. well it would seem the more the anti trampers push to have the president removed from office the more we learn about the media in such places as the f.b.i. how they really work to date the investigation known as russia gate has revealed preciously little though we're learning there was collusion elsewhere. across talking real collusion i'm joined by my guest richard goodstein in washington he is a democratic political strategist and a former adviser to hillary clinton's two presidential campaigns in miami we have john karr below he is host of off the cuff on rebel media and in phoenix we cross to josh bernstein he is a t.v. talk show host all right gentlemen cross talk rules in effect that means he can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate josh i'm going to go to you first because one of my one of the crosstalk rules is always go to the person that got up

early is for this program and that is you want to talk about some of the things that's coming out of the the f.b.i. in the in the special investigation into. alleged collusion with russia during the election we have this peter stroke you know and he has written some you know with his girlfriend some pretty nasty things about donald trump you know he's. he's an a.t.m. he is a nuisance sees a menace what you know all these kind of thing that's fine that's fine you can have an opinion like that but when you have something like this i want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in andy's office presumably that's and you mccabe there is there is no way he gets elected but i am afraid we can't take the risk it's like an insurance policy in an unlikely event that you're going to die before forty i mean that that's more than just saying you don't like someone calling somebody a creep or something like that that sounds like. you've got a plan and you've got power and you're going to make things happen behind the

scenes how do you read that josh. well i think i read this as the elites in the deep state and the globalists they all expected hillary clinton to be the next president united states but the american people thought otherwise and they voted overwhelmingly to make donald trump the forty fifth president of the united states . for rod rosenstein to say with a straight face and any testimony that he believes that there is no collusion and that he doesn't think that robert mueller should be either investigated or or replaced is just insane it truly is i mean if you look at and i'm calling it collusion g.p.s. but if you look at fusion g.p.s. and you see all the things that have happened from bruce or and nellie or being part of that organization then you have the fact that they were having secret meetings bruce or had secret meetings with the people at fusion g.p.s. with glenn simpson and of course with christopher steele the one.
