you know he's frustrated with the russia gate. investigation of which after a year and a half we have no evidence whatsoever and now what we've got is actually evident. could a backlash on the democrats absolutely i think that's the primary that's the fundamental reason why they do not one to release it really puts in the question this entire investigation it shows at least indications that could be further investigated but from the initial appearance severe bias with senior levels of our law enforcement agencies i think what he's concerned about here is i personally don't think anything in the memos probably is that embarrassing yes is that against will it threaten national security i don't think so so the classification is probably more because it's sensitive information and the president has the authority to release that. germany's domestic intelligence

chief is raising the alarm over children of islamic state fighters that have been brought to germany he says the youngsters are living time bombs that can be used in terror plots inside the country or disappear all over as more. well hung said the children of german parents who went off to join isis in iraq syria pose a potential security threat when or if they return back here to germany in fact he went as far as to refer to them in some cases as a ticking time bombs they were confronted early with islamic state ideology learn to fight and were in some cases forced to participate in the abuse of prisoners or even the killing of prisoners we have to consider that these children could be living time bombs there is a danger that these children come back brainwashed with a mission to carry out attacks or mustn't also went on to say that there was a whole network of online isis headhunters looking to recruit and radicalize potentially vulnerable children islamic state uses headhunters who scour the

internet for children that can be approached and tries to radicalize these children were recruited children for terrorist attacks it's no wonder that germany is concerned the country has seen a number of mine is involved in terrorist attacks over the last couple of years most notably there was a case back in twenty sixteen when a twelve year old boy tried to blow up a christmas market in the west of the country and the german government figures showed it around one thousand people left the country to go and joy in isis now around one third of those have returned back to germany but the government also points out they have no way of knowing how many children are being born to those those germans that went off to join isis and how many potentially could come back to the country and pose a threat but that prompted mohsin to say that he. i thought that the security services should be given the right to launch surveillance operations against mine

is in germany that's anybody under the age of fourteen years old though of course comes with its own issues a particularly sensitive topic talking about launching why it tops and other types of surveillance operation against children that young. concerns of the return of i sold children are also shared by a top counterterrorism officer in the u.k. he's warning that ignoring the risks they pose may be a problem in the future some terror groups are training children to commit atrocities we need to not just understand the risk the mother poses but the risk that any child poses as well look at them on a keys by keyes basis and they may be interested we discussed this with stephen morris from the english democratic party and mohammad shafiq chief executive of the ramadan foundation who shared their views on the issue. we always have this like little cooler thing of children where they can do no wrong and then obviously when

they do some wrong it's all we can do this we can do that to try and help them go to bear in mind these are children that are trained to kill they are not just good in a mock in a street been antisocial these of a direct agenda and the agenda is to kill as many people as possible so we do have to clamp down on this our security services and police are doing a tremendous summer worked with twenty five who those children are and what risk for children or their parents pause to the united kingdom and i think it's. it's too early to speculate about the circumstances of these children these are children they didn't make the choice. to go and live in syria it was their parents and we should not punish the children for the actions of the crimes of the parents i'm quite clear in terms of human rights universal declaration of human rights that we should welcome them back and help them rebuild their life where we can help them

but we should help them over there we don't have to bring them here this is where the you and nato are really massively failed because they should have a buffer zone as they should have set up safe zones around the syria get these children into these areas look after them trying to reeducate them. but know what you've got a you've got to do want people to bring them over here let them walk free while the been assessed we'll know. the walking through it but we don't live in the law of the jungle it's not more brutal we live in a country where we value the rule of law and where we have people in this case these children who have been forced to syria by their parents these children haven't taken that decision and there are in no legal state to consent to be sent to be taken to syria that they are british citizens as a. as a society and as a country have a duty of care towards their children in the u.k.

anybody below the age of eighteen is actually classed as a child a fourteen fifteen sixteen year old or seventeen year old can just go around the streets with a knife. like anybody else you know so they are as big a threat is anybody you know you cannot you say just because they were under the age of eighteen this can go into the age of forty that they are no longer a threat because the us they in themselves are victims of isis and their crimes have been returned to do you k. i'm hoping that they'll get psychological help for the trauma that they've seen and the terrorism and oppression that they've witnessed whilst living in syria that they've gone through the process of divided nation to see that they are a threat to anybody in this country and this state and if having been through that to process they are found to have recovered and cleared then they're not actually that's a good opportunity to welcome them back in the united kingdom so that they can make a positive contribution to our society if it turns out that they are evolving

extremism and the alvey involved in terrorism then we need to do as much work as possible to deve gowda caused them and to protect them protect themselves from such an evil ideology. murder rate in the us city of baltimore skyrocketed in two thousand and seventeen with fifty six killings per one hundred thousand people in a record in a city that already has a reputation for being dangerous and crime ridden. q. cities in body american urban decay more depressingly in the city of baltimore baltimore struggles with a record high murder rate. murder. in full. yes baltimore there is a robust active crime strategy.

it all comes as baltimore has been rocked by the ongoing trials in one of america's biggest police corruption scandals the gun trace task force an elite group of plainclothes officers was supposed to be reducing violence and violence and crime however it now seems they were actually adding to it six out of eight members of the group have pleaded guilty to charges of organized crime including extortion and drug dealing. it's across the story. the baltimore police department is now

involved in one of the biggest scandals and u.s. law enforcement history for months now the court system has been trying to investigate corruption within the city's police force eight officers are on trial over drug trafficking racketeering robbery and planting fake evidence like drugs and the weekends we would create false reports to cover up the robberies we were involved in. it was like aware if life were got away with a lot of things if proven guilty the officers and maybe face twenty to one hundred years in prison and six of them have already pleaded guilty and are now acting as witnesses didn't hopes of softening the moving verdict and their lawyers claim the officer spilled guilt over what they've done mr jenkins is extremely remorseful he's been remorseful for a long time even before these charges were brought and he's relieved that today finally he was publicly able to accept responsibility for their clients sorry for what they did or should. be so it seems regretful of what what happened i

really don't have any comment meanwhile officers cases continue to be dismissed with hundreds under review and most of them involve incidents of officer switching off their body cameras to plant drugs or guns and then reenact seizing the evidence they had already planted. and all castro's eldest son has reportedly committed suicide that is according to cuban state media for the castro diaz balart a son of the famous a cuban that revolutionary leader was sixty eight he had been battling depression for quite some time it was reported that he had been hospitalized previously for treatment but was later released for outpatient care at the time of his death he was serving as a scientific advisor to cuba's council of state as well as the vice president of the cuban academy of sciences. pentagon has acknowledged that it conducted an unsuccessful missile test on wednesday the missile was launched from land and failed to intercept an incoming target launched

from an aircraft over hawaii a pentagon spokesperson confirmed the incident yesterday during a press briefing. it did not meet our objectives but we learned something all the time with these tests and we learned something from this one and will continue to improve our capabilities. earlier i was joined by michael maloof a former pentagon official and he said that creating a workable missile defense is an extremely challenging task and has to be approved they have a lot of bugs and you've got to consider too that when you're shooting and shooting a missile like this it's like to get a bullet with another bullet and even these tests that they did occur were under very controlled conditions and the yet there were failure this is the second failure since june i believe and if the north koreans for example were to do a swarm approach with four or five missiles at a time it would absolutely overload the system so something's going to get through the system itself needs a lot of work and we're talking about technology levels that are still in the

infant stage so they're going to they have a lot of tweaking to do a lot of research and development that needs to be done and it may include technologies and involve technologies that are not quite ready to be to be made operational and frankly this is extremely expensive and given the budget constraints that are coming from the other end so policymakers are really going to have to double down and figure out a plan and execute that plan and it's not happening right now. it would be a man who lost his whole family in a nato air raid is planning to take his fight for justice to the european court of human rights he says the alliance that drops two bombs on his house during its military intervention in the country in two thousand and eleven. now we demand that we need to explain why our house and houses were showing all the military targets i don't understand why nato targeted our house sadly my dear wife died as well as my

cousins my innocent children our neighbors our friends were there with us it was a monstrous crime and nato has the latest equipment and technology which allows them to accurately determine the targets of the nato cross struck specifically at night when people were in their home they intentionally hit civilian targets hospitals schools gas stations they destroyed all the infrastructure while they were killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure apparently knowing there were no weapons there. we can see on the map where the nato attack took place has mentioned thirteen people were killed in the bombardment including three children he says his house may have been targeted because his father was a general who served under libya's former leader moammar gadhafi but he says that it was just a family home and not a legitimate target he began his battle for justice back in two thousand and twelve but has faced an uphill battle to actually get his case heard in court nato which

enjoys a degree of legal immunity in such cases argues that it had no intelligence suggesting civilians were in the house at the time of the strike however how he says his lawyers have now found a way of challenging the protections afforded to the alliance and he hopes his case will set a precedent for others who also lost their families. when we gathered our families in different parts of libya we found a man whose wife daughter and son as well as his mother died during the shelling there were other families in other cities a lot of families we compiled a report from all identified victims after having documented in photograph the materials so that this case could become a historical precedent. on thursday germany's parliament the bundestag took up whether to extend economic sanctions against russia a proposal to drop the restrictions was made by the left party which supports a less confrontational approach towards moscow supporters of the measure say that

even sanctions against russia have damaged europe's economic development here is a look at what was said on both sides of the debate. damage and economic development massively both in russia and germany that sanctions had to be extended economic sanctions are the only effective means besides diplomacy to stop russia's expansion if it wins this we believe the russian government is not prepared to accept a western democratic values we've watched russian politics over the past few years and see that russia is not the west moreover it's the opposite of the western model of a democratic society sanctions work they really work that's it russia is our direct neighbor mundane imbalance and peace was russia is in the german and the european interest and we must treat dreiser with respect and on an equal footing with the russian people not putin and those tourists the grid people deserve. well it is

germany which has felt the impact of sanctions most of all germany accounts for nearly forty percent of export trade losses since they were introduced the e.u. imposed of the sanctions against russia in two thousand and fourteen in response to the annexation of crimea measures targeted russia's financial energy and defense sectors we got a comment from our minute paul hampel alternative for germany and p. took part in the debates sanctions helping nobody russian or germany all the european countries german economy has lost between twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen some ninety billion euros. we affected by more than forty percent by the policy of the west i would america. so i don't know it's very little so off course there is no intention in washington to. stop to say but there is

a much stronger course in my country and i'm sure as well as in our european neighborhood as well of course they came for a long good time but europe russia. the situation in the ukraine we have to keep our interests in mind. campaigning for the mayoral elections in the japanese city of nagano has again highlighted the controversial nature of america's military presence on the island of okinawa japan central government and authorities in okinawa where u.s. troops are currently stationed have been doing battle over the possible relocation of their base to the northern city of not go a recent poll shows sixty three percent of voters oppose the relocation while only twenty percent support the move the incumbent mayor of the city who opposes america's deployment of troops to the island says a vote for him would be a vote for defending okinawa's autonomy. so you got your selections are extremely

important as they will have a great impact on the future of not go in okinawa our country's current administration is attacking us with attempts to sway the power of these elections are meant to defend japanese democracy and our autonomy we're asking people from all over the country for their understanding okinawa is in a difficult situation right now but if many people support us we will continue what we're doing. on one thousand nine hundred six a review by japan and the us decided the american base should be relocated to a remote area of a no go the decision was made in order to reduce the military impact on the populated communities of southern okinawa but there has since been numerous crimes committed in relation to the us military presence there.

activists in okinawa believe it the japanese government has been turning a blind eye to the tense situation playing out on the region. i don't think they are mistaken i mean it is a really strong body oh refusing the it could have nation of the day but another candidate is a bucked up book by japanese central government so he agrees. then the new military base in him though most people are against the new

media based construction is government opens government hungry ignoring voice against democracy and against the decision if the. accept they base they can get the money we need the citizens who know the true us the facts are really. worried japan's government sent who sent. ministers money and all the macall. fake news of but we will not loose we will win but as a from our army back in just over twenty nine minutes with your headlines you are watching our to international troops.

democratic anger over president drum state of the union immigration run wrecked will that make reaching a deal on dreamers even harder to take a look. at that on this edition. of the politicking on larry king president donald trump delivered his first state of the union address tuesday night and left many democratic lawmakers and activists furious over his remarks about immigration so the this mean of a deal on docket is now even further out of reach than it was before and if not

what happens to the so-called dreamers who seem to be caught between the two warring political parties will start with cesar vargas cesar is an immigration activist director of the dream action coalition he is also in new york state's first openly undocumented attorney he was formerly a latino outreach strategist for bernie sanders twenty sixteen presidential campaign he joins us from new york how did you feel about the address cesar. hi larry thank you so much for having me well there is no question that this president had the opportunity to really heal a nation that has been divided along many racial lines along political lines along partisan lines and frankly the president dropped the ball instead of trying to unite us he put he threw gas in the fire and and really just continued to divide the nation exploiting fear exploiting the actual suffering of

a family who had been our family who suffer the murder of their daughter by gang members and there's no question that we obviously want to keep our nation safe but this president pretty much put a solution for dreamers a solution for our immigration system even farther with his rhetoric and frankly you know this is the not a president there really is listen more to stephen miller and his allowance stephen millet to become president than president trump becoming a leader and actually coming together to unify a nation and provide solutions for the dreamers as well as provide national security for our nation he said he's for a pair to service and ship for one point eight million dreamers you know one of those didn't that encourage you. there's no question that is encourage is no question that dreamers want to be able to have a path to citizenship but at the same time not at the cost of other immigrants on the bus we obviously want to have a path to citizenship and aspire to the american dream like many other people as we said all americans are dreamers yes we all are american dreamers we all are

americans and what this president is pretty much frankly trying to do is try to trying to pass a complete anti immigrant list on the backs of dreamers he's trying to say will give you a path to citizenship but in exchange we are going to criminalize and target detain and the poor your mother your father your spouse and frankly that's not a deal that we can accept we are not going to target other immigrants just so dreamers just or communities can group of income be protected and that's frankly what this president's trying to do divide more people and put people in a position to choose their own safety over their parents' safety and that's something that is un-american oh you came you susan. i came to the u.s. when i was five or so after my father passed away and like and like any loving mother my mom took the break decision to come here to give me a better life in mexico it was either not having enough food to eat living in

a one room with no windows or take a chance in going up north right to to the dream of one day perhaps one of her sons will become an attorney and for me the original dreamers the dreamers are my parents that risked everything to give me a better life and now as an attorney i'm going to make sure that i am fighting for my family i'm going to make sure that my mom has a path to citizenship and i'm going to make sure that dreamers as well as all our communities can be protected because this is exactly what this nation is about we are a nation immigrants but we're also a nation where we are welcoming more people and embracing people who work hard and aspire to the american dream representative joe tim lee the third he switched them issued one point new speech and he declared the dreamers you are part of our story we will fight for you we will not or go away you have a lot of things in that pledge. i do have faith that we are going to get this whether we have faith in congress the reality is a sixty percent of the american people have faith in congress but what we do know

is that i do have faith that we're going to get this done we have seen this anti immigrant rhetoric before we have seen this hate and seen a phobia back before whether it was people targeting irish italian german jews we have seen this before and we're seeing this now like before we're going to overcome this like before the american dream is going to survive is going to flourish and going to allow many people to continue to work hard and really aspire to their aspirations as lawyers doctors engineers and i know we're going to make sure that we are continuing that work and it starts working here in our communities we're going to demonstrate that myself and many people who come here as children or people who are biped tempera protected status can have a chance of the american dream and i do believe that we're going to get this done the senate majority whip john cornyn republican of texas bill if the democrats don't figure out a way to negotiate then the doctor program will end and they will be responsible

what's your reaction to. well they are pretty much trying to hijack a deal republicans and steven miller and attorney general just sessions is trying to hijack the overall deal they know that if they put all this anti immigrant lives they're going to try to to to shut up a wall down the american people's throat they're trying to increase over twenty five billion dollars that could be going towards fixing our role if they could could be going to our infrastructure they could be going into veterans' medical assistance you know all this money could be used in a better situation and yes we have seen right now the biggest budget over eight hundred billion dollars being going to immigration enforcement that's combined and that the way. the f.b.i. and many other agencies combined so we already have resources our immigration enforcement what we need to do is republicans actually coming to the table saying

we need to dream act but we're also need some funding to to update technology we need funding to ensure that we have monitoring across remote areas of the border let's work on that let's not say what will give a dreamer's but we're going to target. we're going to eliminate the rights of u.s. citizens to bring in there is an errant we're going to bring eliminate that so i think republicans are the one to play the games and of course we're going to pressure democrats to also work with republicans on a deal to learn to use these will be calling on you again thank you so much for having me i'm now joined by chris shays the former republican u.s. representative from connecticut he was a senior member of the finance and homeland security committees and was vice chair of the budget and government oversight committees he joins me from washington d.c. . chris will trump speech i mean the tweets all the time will his speech matter.

yeah it mattered to people last night i mean i i basically enjoyed the speech i thought it was one of the more interesting ones and you know i i've been on the house floor for those speeches twenty one times and i thought it was kind of a well thought out speech but it's not a teleprompter and you just pray that that's the real you know the real donald trump but but i'm not sure it is i'm in fact lee i don't think it is his own speech i noticed that and you know he was having a little fun but it was a good speech you know you could raise questions about parts of it but the bottom line is. it was more a campaign speech but it was interesting i love the stories i love the introduction of the folks. and it was it was a presidential speech and i guess you know we set the bar so low for him sometimes that when he gives a speech like this we think it's even better than it probably is government funding

runs out again so we're a see expect another shutdown. it's very possible i mean we are at a point unlike what we used to be you know twenty years ago or thirty years ago where the full house would decide a vote now it has to be practically all republican all and when the democrats were in charge all democrats and that's not healthy trump once twenty five billion for border security is ministration intends to propose two hundred billion over ten years for infrastructure where's the money come from. well that's the that's the big issue i mean he it's easy to applaud a tax cut and a big tax cut though this wasn't the biggest like you said but the eighth in rank. no it's really tragic what people realize is one of the things that slows our economy down are our huge deficits twenty billion dollars i left congress feel.
