donald trump arrives at the pro globalization world economic forum in the luxury swiss resort of davos seeking to promote his nationalist america first agenda. all these questions are where the president is coming also don't want to listen to him you can because we. know he's foreign ministry hits us saying washington hasn't kept a single promise on the kurds that there's no trust between the countries becoming the turkey pledges to extend its offensive against the u.s. backed kurdish militia in northern syria. the moscow neighborhood is left stunned after a model student killed his flatmate and post the grisly details online before committing suicide.

it's five o'clock here in moscow and you're watching our international live from last year with me in india today welcome to the program president is in the swiss resort of downforce for the world economic forum he's expected to push his america first policy to the global elite. is following developments. the white house has confirmed that donald trump will be bringing with him his signature brand of economic nationalism both to his speech on friday likely while he meets with other world leaders throughout the next two days and his transportation secretary yesterday didn't mince her words when given her recommendation of what people can do if they don't want to listen to that message america first is a continuation of the american affirmation of american exceptionalism so i don't think well i think this you know all these questions are why the president is coming and again i think a few very flattered he has chosen this is

a forum. and so for those that don't want to listen to him you can they can leave you know this is part of what discourse and discussion is all about donald trump will be shortly meeting with the u.k. prime minister theresa may after she gives a speech where she will likely discuss brags that and that's a very global list for him that usually has a very globalist center and we've seen that throughout the week and interesting point of view coming from european political big wigs they seem to be promoting a europe first idea and well that's maybe not as nationalist a theme as america first it's not globalist either it is the gentleman my my my first me seach he said france is back france is back it's a call for europe because we will never have any french success is without the europeans between i was twenty seven member states were not able to send a clear and united message to major powers such as china india and the united

states if foreign policy is made on the national level then it will feel not. and that's not the only clash of ideas that we're seeing here at davos throughout the week we've seen protests against trump's visit throughout switzerland and the number of cities burn geneva and there are all to be included and more are planned later today here in davos but it's unclear whether or not those will be able to go forward as earlier in the week authorities did say that rallies wouldn't be possible due to weather conditions but in all actuality we haven't seen any significant snowfall since monday and all the streets are quite clear we discussed the up coming tolls with economist key oil field. what do i expect from mr trump's visit to davos tomorrow an awful lot of security and police and army also you've got to bear in mind that mr trump has a stable genius as he puts it and he likes to be astride the world stage and so i think because the list of the president of china was the great favorite star

of doubles last year i think mr trump wants to be the star this year i think that will be a lot of politicians wanting to speak to the gallery mr trump will be wanting to play to his political base over in the state so he wants will want to be seen to be talking tough in the similar fashion mr mack wrong mrs merkel who's still trying to form a government in germany will also be wanting to be seen to be supporting their national self interest so i suspect we're going to be seeing quite a few fireworks. than charm has reportedly warned his turkish counterpart to avoid actions that risk a clash between american and turkish forces in northern syria it follows president announcement that the turkish military will extend its operation against the u.s. backed kurdish militia in the region and set its sights on the city of unmanned bridge. the operation we've launched named branch to

terrorists is successful in the way starting from we will continue for the big games which are being played along our borders and we will cleanse our region completely of the struggle. with tensions growing between the two nato allies turkey's foreign ministry had touted the u.s. on thursday saying washington hasn't kept a single promise on the kurds and that there's no trust between the countries well let's take a closer look at what's happening in the region this is the border between turkey and syria and the areas in yellow that you can see here are held by the various kurdish militia in the west you can see africa in region and that's where the turkish assault began and to the east of this this bit in green there is where the number of turkish backed rebel groups are they are involved in the push towards a man ship now here's a recap of how the operation has unfolded so far. i.

know. that i know what their foreign tasks with tanks and more planes did nothing to help them we are protecting our land and they're bombing us so we have to sleep in the cellar because of the bombs we are free to go out on the streets what do they want from us all learn beers watch on a matter how many planes and missiles they send this is on land we will not leave it. in retaliation for the operation several missiles were fired from africa over the border into turkey on wednesday killing two people in the town of killing and injuring a dozen more a mosque and

a residential building were damaged in the incident paulus fear has more on ankara's incursion into syria we're hearing from the turkish president is that he will now extend his military operation in northern syria to include the town of mann bridge now once the turkish military moves into man bridge this could potentially put the turkish army in direct conflict with the forces belonging to a major to nato ally namely the united states washington is known to have some two thousand special forces on the ground in syria and while none of them off or to be in the athlon area they are deployed amongst various kurdish enclave set includes the town of man bridge now man bridge is controlled by u.s. backed kurdish syrian fighters at the same time we are hearing from the turkish president that more than two hundred and fifty syrian kurds as well as islamic state fighters have been killed by. by the turkish army and allied forces in the

past few days these figures are being disputed by the kurdish side who is also accusing and career of civilian casualties this despite the fact that we are hearing from two key that they are trying to avoid civilian deaths as far as possible now the american president donald trump has called for and is urging a deescalation and a limit in the military operation that and create is conducting in northern syria it is now the sixth day since the turkish military moved across the border and no doubt in the coming hours and days the situation on the ground will only intensify . international relations professor hussein back she told us turkey and the u.s. are on a collision course in syria. told presidents the moment is not friendly. americans. first important

a call to arms should not exist. we have regional conflict on the one hand but also alliance. to marital cancers of the american side war this isn't going to work for you is not going to. do all polish on the floor this is somehow. a warning by the americans the literature is printed on the confrontation between turkey and the nurses of america is getting more and more likely the conflict has already elicited a strong reaction in europe where a number of countries have large turkish and kurdish communities and a number of demonstrations have been turning violent.

a pakistani doctor who was the key to finding a solid bin ladin looks set to spend the rest of his life in jail stands authorities have accused him of helping militants and arrested him soon after the u.s. operation and made twenty eleven u.s. presidents have promised to get him released but it's now been seven years more gas death has the story. you can argue dr shaquille afridi helped catch these century's most wanted man the man who did this.

during the. sama bin laden you can also argue he was a traitor and a fraud it all depends on where you're from the united states has conducted an operation that killed osama bin laden the leader of al qaeda tonight we give thanks to the countless intelligence and counterterrorism professionals who worked tirelessly to achieve this outcome gratitude though has its limits dr afridi set up a fake vaccination program in the area bin laden was hiding in in order to collect his family's d.n.a. and give the cia proof he was there clever shortly after bin laden was eliminated dr afridi was arrested by pakistani intelligence and sentenced to thirty three years. in. two thousand and eleven

of being money to the militants of that. he was assisting in medical term that he was making some. news a hospital i met him in. in june and he said that i am innocent and the charges they are totally illegal dr afridi was first accused of aiding local militants and then of murdering a patient though how fair those charges is debatable a bomber tried and failed to get him out donald trump well trump is trump do you you think. yes i do i think i would get him out in two minutes i would tell them let him out and i'm sure they'd let him out it didn't fly it's even upset the pakistanis a little being threatened with blackmail it's been almost two years since trump

made his both stand nothing the man who helped catch some of bin v. i call of terrorism is rotting away in jail we believe dr afridi has been unjustly imprisoned and there's clearly communicated opposition to pakistan on dr afridi's case both in public and in private and the us well they bring it up once in a while that's what gratitude is worth nowadays we spoke to former cia officer philip giraldi who doesn't see washington making any real effort to free the dr. i was in the teligent office or when people are caught spying for another country. that country does not like to let them freeze so it's it's actually something that trump did not understand if the pakistanis. enter into some kind of discussion and trump feels that he can be generous or or do something

that world will enable this man to get free then he might do it but i don't know what that would be i don't know what the circumstances would be there are already having a serious discussions about the the money that the united states gives the pakistan the united states has been suspending some of that money and not giving it to them so the pakistanis are not is are not interested in doing any favors for washington i think that is very clear. a student in moscow has shat on line and the we some details of him much ing and raping his flatmate before committing suicide the incident has left the russian public stunned and people describing the man as a promising student from a good family our correspondent in went to the house where they lived and spent to their neighbors and a warning that you might find some parts of his report to stepping. this is the area where art and its yacht rented their flat together the better of bosco very

close to in the universities where they study they seem to have everything to enjoy their lives in the capital the students who were once in a relationship but after breaking up they continued to share a flat in the building right there it turned out to be unbearable for r.t.o. to leave that's the right entrance they lived on the ground floor and one social media post describe everything he did behind these walls on one horrifying winter night it was late he had been drinking when to tiana and her to room he started punching her the details of what was happening there in the next few hours are far too grisly to go into in this report but it included stabbing rape and necrophilia.

after what everyone i guess would call a psychotic frenzy art to hang himself this is the entrance to their flat with a police notice but this shouldn't be the most challenging investigation for the authorities the couple's whole lives were out there all their social media accounts for everyone to see and art films very long suicide note that he posted on his account was a full description of what happened that night where he explained his motivation. this is a very small section of the building with very few apartments and none of the. neighbors here agreed to talk to us i was mad for this creature.

but one security guard outside agreed to share some details lucille with his mother to persuade the people. using. the word little that the soaps were going for a good little summer which is that this is not to children to look at the people in the ability to. put on this because. jealousy had rage have often led to climbs of passion we've seen it in movies read about it in books but seldom before have we experienced it so vividly thanks to the killer of the victim's obsession with social media. we'll be back in a couple of minutes after this break.

other tax reform bill next year just simplify and bring a flat tax before you. topple bringing the fifty percent tax rate across the board to be the best possible solution to the. question in the us. everybody stephen both. hollywood. proud american interests george bush and. this is my buddy famous financial guru well she's a little bit different. in a window with all the drama happening in our country and. every day americans. to bridge the gap this is the great american.

welcome back to the program the international olympic committee has released information on why some russian athletes have been excluded from the upcoming winter olympics they come a seventeen point focusing on violations by the athletes the panel claims to have reviewed information based on a mosque on the burra tree database and allegations presented in the mclaren report on alleged tampering with samples the head of the i.o.c. said russian athletes would be banned from the games in south korea for even the slightest suspicion they had. the i.o.c. wanted to give clean russian athletes the opportunity to participate and give the young a new generation of clean russian athletes the opportunity to be at the olympic games and be ambassadors for a new clean russian sport there could be suspicion there could even be an ongoing

procedure there could be many factors which did not lead to the satisfaction of the panel the purposes to invite clean russian athletes for which this panel is certain and has not the slightest doubt or suspicion they may have comes in response to accusations of widespread doping in russia dating back to the twenty fourteen saatchi winter games a comprehensive list of who can go to play on chang will be published at the weekend but it's thought that the russian quote it will be slashed by around a fifth to just under four hundred athletes those set to miss out include some of russia's next generation of athletes and also more established stars like biathlete and tanisha palin and speed skater victor on neither have ever tested positive for banned substances and the situation the russian outlets are facing has received criticism from around the world sports lawyer lucy vallone says the i.o.c. is not following basic and legal principles. mclaurin report was was based in the

beginning especially on anonymous sources no documents not provide the icing this is not fair now they're trying to back it up with intelligence you see it already did prove that the report as it was used to discredit all athletes was not a proper report in the beginning timing is a little bit problematic because as you know the athletes will have very short period of time of trying to appeal or correct these decisions which or take him with a view to exclude everybody who has the slightest doubt on his record and that is not acceptable because normally if you have to go through a dopping proceeding in in in the normal sports world in the normal proceedings

you and the. doping authority has to prove ninety nine point nine percent that you or guilty that you have though but here it is reversed it if you say the slightest doubt is enough to exclude somebody then you say one percent is enough so that is absolutely unacceptable it's not acceptable and it's legally of course not acceptable. german judge has caused outrage at a trying various a christie things from his corone for a muslim asylum seeker the afghan act of trying to kill a fellow countryman for converting to christianity correspondent peter oliver has been following the trial. this judge in the bavarian alps has found himself in the eye of a storm that's after he ordered that a crucifix be removed from his courtroom during the trial of an afghan asylum up

look and accused of trying to kill another afghan who convert to christianity it's a move that's caused for even the strongly catholic state as well as in german tabloid media the judge says he made the move in order to show religious tolerance how can i educate the defendant to move away from his beliefs he thinks jihad exists between christians and islamists and so i did not think it wise to condemn him under the cross i do not care if there is a cross or not when the judge addressed this issue in court i just don't really understand the problem bosses in the bavarian ministry of justice say this should never have been an issue in the first place. the presence of crosses in courtrooms does not prevent the state from up holding religious and ideological neutrality. religious rights for christi and converts in germany is a hot issue particularly in places like my eyes but the toll on the border with

austria is where many refugees and migrants either arrived or at least passed through in twenty fifteen and the move by judge mitt has prompted a ferocious backlash on social media dear baron people this is a slap in the face of all christians do you still want to trample on your christian religious there are judges who have me at a loss for words such an irony in the trial of afghan islamists judge class you're against me it takes christopher s. from the war of the courtroom the sophisticated islamization in this country continues judge. are you insane such a disgrace this story comes as the trial of a different failed asylum applicant from afghanistan is underway in a nearby town in southern germany in that case a thirty eight year old woman was brutally stabbed to death in front of her small children the prosecution say that the motive behind the killing was that she had

converted to christianity the trial is expected to continue for several more days peter all over our berlin. and up full hour i'll be back at the top of the hour with more. that's right the san. carlos and. i are all over them when i saw. that armor are more trouble for our brothers that are for for medicare that. i'm going to let in but i'm going to catch him then you can keep an eye on what i

don't think is a channel for truffle not that it doesn't have i don't. know what and i was going on a show that a lot of it does show that the model. number set up around the hey if i'm going to do it. and get the whole for bush choice john you say you haven't failed to chime in syria said. she ought to have a. model for them after the couple for mr hates it for jim and then oil for hope that our freedom and. the money. you should. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be close. to some want to be rich. but you'd like to be close this is what the three of the four people. interested always in the waters of . fish. pond welcome to all the part donald trump has just marked his first year in office by oversee and yet another u.s. government shutdown and while the partisan wrangling over the budget has temporarily been resolved underlying it is not just a million but a trillion dollar question whether the united states will ever be able to bring its

finances in order to discuss that i'm now joined by laurence kotlikoff a professor of economics at boston university and i write in candidates in the two thousand and sixteen presidential elections but as a consequence good to talk to thank you very much great to be here with you now you were escaping we critical of mr trump both before and after his election so i think it's safe to assume that you never expected him to be an outstandingly good president but a year in kenya safely say that he turned out to be an outstandingly bad one. i would say so i think the terms of how he's presenting the u.s. to the rest of the world it's been a miserable miserable display of. authoritarianism aris ism. and a lack of real focus and understanding of what the country needs now. you can see this in the health care area we had really

a débâcle with respect to the republicans proposing things that the country really doesn't want the country really once. universal health care not fifty million people uninsured and the republicans seem to not want that but the people do so that's just one example of many things that have gone wrong this year having read many of your articles i assume that you have generally very negative opinion of the american electoral system how it works. if you compare for example mr trump to let's say the obama administration which contributed a great deal to the american government debt on substance do you think he so far has been really so much worse than the rest well doing nothing. is not good either when it comes to fiscal policy because you have this true debt of the country which we call the fiscal gap which takes into account all the debts

that are off the books and those are growing every year. because the baby boom generation which is a very large number is getting closer to collecting its benefits from pensions and health care and as it gets closer to the present value cost the cost in the presence of those future benefits gets larger so we have a debt that's growing around six trillion a year actually our fiscal gap is about two hundred trillion you said that that is you know because if that's not because but then it got worse under obama never got a whole lot worse under bush so every administration for the last six decades has contributed to this problem but the situation is such that if you don't address it it just keeps growing on its own so you're faulting tom for not correcting somebody else's mistakes in fact the mistake in all the previous administrations but isn't that a bit of a high order for him.
