very difficult front line which is the city's. defense and security analysts come are alarmed says a number of factors led to the relative success of the attack. i think unfortunately the afghan security forces are just not up to the standards or there's too much pressure on them and there's not much coordination between nato forces and the afghan police there are multiple threads there's the taliban there's there's ice is there's also has missed it which is also in the government so there are number of opponents and i think this simply isn't the right intelligence to counter these kind of attacks because they're happening on the regular basis one day it's a civilian target one day it's a military target one day it's a commercial road or a hotel like today to counter terrorism in afghanistan you need regional approach and the regional approach means working with iran working with pakistan and working with russia in the central asian states at the moment the us is not really doing that they have their own strategy and it's not doesn't fit in with britain strategy

. donald trump's first year in the white house has been marked by government wide shut down this follows the senate's refusal to approve a bill to fund the government all but five democrats voted against it and the main sticking point was trump's refusal to include protections for undocumented young immigrants. the republican leadership do the job they are paid to do today they put politics above the national security everyone thinks of themselves as a leader in that building is going to have to look at themselves in the mirror and ask are they really being true to the ideals of this country democrats hold our local citizens hostage over their breakfast of moms we have the divider in chief in the white house this is behavior the structure just loses not legislate. well this is the latest example of just how bumpy the first twelve months have been for
1:32 am
the president caleb open takes a look at how trump's tenure has unfolded so far one trouble sworn in a year ago emotions are raw. high on all sides. ok. us media described it as a pivotal moment in american history you're not having a terrible terrible dream also you're not dead and you haven't gone to hell it will be very bad americans and others will now die washington d.c. the establishment is terrified and they should be they call that the trump revolution trump promised to completely overhaul u.s. foreign and economic policy he promised a brave new world that was cheered by his supporters and dreaded by his detractors as a distro be an apocalypse so a year on where are we well with all this america first rhetoric you might have thought that would have meant less interference in other countries well that's not
1:33 am
exactly how it played out tonight i ordered a targeted military strike we are so proud of our military that it was another successful event we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary on the home front some promised a new level of protectionism against mexico and china but the usa is increasingly buying more foreign goods and producing less of its own the trade deficit with mexico is up by eleven percent the trade deficit with china is up by seven percent unemployment is low but so are wages there is record amounts of household debt in the united states right now and retail stores are closing across the country and here's one thing that didn't change between trump and previous administrations during the election trump talked about getting along better with russia and his detractors called him a kremlin puppet but now one year later things between washington and moscow are about the same as they were before bad for their action by the. congress to put
1:34 am
these sanctions in place from the way they do that's the decision they made that made it very overwhelming was a phrase that accepts that we may be at an all time low. so in terms of the relationship with russia this is built for a long period of time now trump promised to drain the swamp of corruption we are going to drill. washington d.c. . but it looks like that swamp is still here and deeper than ever policy stay the same our foreign policy is the same the monetary policy in the federal reserve is the same spending as the same deficits are still rising so there has not been any significant changes in the direction of our country which i had been hoping for is that he has perpetuated so many of our deeply flawed policies especially in foreign policy foreign policy is a little bit more confusing i'm very pleased he's at least made an honest effort that he's reduced the amount of regulations and i think that's one of the reasons
1:35 am
we've had an economic boost. and that is that is good and he's made an effort to reduce taxes that's for from perfect but lower taxes less regulation is good and the marketplace is reflecting that oh and don't forget about that wall we're going to build the world we have no choice we have no choice. yeah how's that going we have some wonderful. prototypes that have been put up now despite the president's ambitious timetable for construction it remains unclear when the wall might actually go up on the surface donald trump looks like a president like no other he's allowed brash he doesn't care about political correctness is even turned twitter into an official white house channel but if you look a little bit closer and judge him by his political actions he's a little bit more the rule than the exception. artsy new york. person thinks
1:36 am
almost seven hundred thousand users might have fallen victim to so-called russian propaganda during the u.s. election they plan to do about it tell. after the break. something that is very important for us. to be only a common market. as we say to be a community of then going to talk to you is of process as if you twitter is so good to power that from moscow riots to dominate. their way to be unsettling to communities you can easily see. in order to overthrow a regime it does take popular discontent and popular mobilization but it also
1:37 am
requires actors with in the leadership of the regime who feel that the regime is no longer serving the national interest you need people in the military or the bureaucracy or both who are willing to see the regime change otherwise they would be able to put down a popular revolt but did not have support at higher level. them back a british student has been making headlines after appearing on a radio show and confessing his support for communism twenty four year old fiona lolly told the b.b.c. programme she felt communism was never given a chance to develop in the soviet union was so didn't actually fail the story what up a storm of debate over how universities are new ring students to the left one repeatedly
1:38 am
quote a professor says law is downplaying the crimes of stalin well r.t. spoke to her about the media storm. i think it's completely hypocritical and very typical of academics like him to kind of passionately you know talk about the deaths under the soviet union but i think this is you know very much selective outrage the media in general obviously don't paint marxism or socialism or really any kind of left wing politics in a positive light and that's because obviously in you know the media is owned by a certain group of people in the media is owned by a billionaire class that have certain interests they want to protect i think people can think for themselves and i wouldn't take their headlines the general opinion of the british would. and it seems red alerts have been flashing a few times recently in the british media much was made of the prime minister wearing a bracelet featuring frida kahlo
1:39 am
a communist known for her concerns about the poor and the buzz feed science editor felt compelled to lock down her social media account following the abuse she received after writing that she wanted communism for christmas but does the public share the media's read fear well according to a new opinion poll nine percent of young adults view communism as a danger to the world compare that to global business which almost a quarter think actually poses the biggest threat when political activist george borders says there is a need to distinguish between history and propaganda. what one needs to remember is that anybody of my age and older in this country and certainly in the u.s. of course much of the west identifies communism in the soviet union and the like hard left or extreme left as pretty much different aspects of the same thing in the one nine hundred fifty s. when when the soviet union was showing very significant great significant rates of economic growth the mainstream foreign policy journals were very much kind of
1:40 am
writing these defensive narratives to try and explain away why the demonized system was apparently doing so well i think one needs to distinguish between the propaganda and the historical realities. twitter has started sending emails to those who might have followed it retreat or liked suspected russian propaganda accounts during the u.s. presidential campaign which are estimates almost seven hundred thousand uses for into that category it is message to those uses the social media platform urge them to learn more about the nature of the russian propaganda efforts one of those contacted by two is here is political comedian tim young he told us that liking or retreating shouldn't be considered as propaganda. well i thought it was very interesting getting a letter from twitter because. i never recalled re tweeting or liking something that i would have viewed as russian propaganda to have donald trump elected or or
1:41 am
manipulate the election is a propaganda tool if you agree with what you're liking or re tweeting i'm not sure who is being influenced as an american by the tweets especially the tweets that they showed they had a few example tweets and a lot of them were just basic political messages that anyone in america could come up with so i think twitter and a lot of the democrats think americans are extremely stupid so i'm not sure exactly why twitter thought that i would have been fluence to buy something. outside of this country to begin with in the election. was the requested that to issue explain how it identifies accounts related to so-called russian propaganda but hasn't received enough us i phone u.s. lawmakers have accused the size of playing host to a torrent of distance and nation june the twenty sixteen election campaign which has said it would want to identify and inform people about that alleged propaganda . a letter that i wrote calling on these companies to individually inform all users
1:42 am
who are exposed to false misleading and inflammatory post generated by russian agents we will be working to identify and inform individually the users who may have been exposed to the ira accounts during the election it's it's nearly impossible to be able to show what is actually political propaganda because in. and election cycle everything can be considered political propaganda and what is considered a different country meddling in another country's election because i've been contacted i've done digital marketing before for many people and i think contacted by foreign leaders to run their digital campaigns and do social media for them so would that count as an american meddling in their election like there's so many different ways you can categorize this and it really doesn't make sense but it plays into the old now one year old or longer conspiracy theory that russian the russian government colluded with the trump campaign which there's still no evidence
1:43 am
of. well for more on these arms plenty of other stories thing go to our web site. otherwise i'll be back with the latest headlines are the top of the hour see that.

1:46 am
england they contribute fourteen billion euros ten billion pounds a year to the national economy a foreign student pays between twenty and thirty thousand euros a year twice as much as the european student and it represents an additional consumer in the country a dream client. so the university of manchester house about ten thousand international students which is the most of any u.k. university or there was a percentage it's not the highest so those students are important to us for a number of reasons they bring diversity they bring different cultures they bring different backgrounds different ways of thinking our own students benefit from studying in an environment with students from very different backgrounds. of course they also bring income to the university which is important the largest community chinese students which make up just under forty percent of the total international student body. the crowds lining the streets around.
