also as they president trump impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports into the u.s. despite warnings of a global trade war the american steel loman image astri has been ravaged by aggressive foreign trade practices it's really an assault on our country however the unveiling of the tariffs in the white house didn't go as smoothly as planned i thank you for the opportunity for what you do for this firm but short your service where your father herman is looking down he's very proud or you're right he's go live with that he's. even more right there is even more proud would you like to take a picture in the oval office i assume you've all been many times into the oval office come on let's go and do that let's go on to the side yes a little bit of we'll go into the oval office we're going to sign this will go into the oval office we have a picture ok ok thank you well the new levee is will take effect on march the

twenty third foreign companies will have to pay a twenty five percent tax for steel and a ten percent aluminum sold on the u.s. market mexico canada and australia have been granted exemption well in response the e.u. said it could impose tariffs on jeans motorbikes peanut butter and orange juice originating from the u.s. and world leaders have been quick to slam washington's move yet some toned down their rhetoric and even called for talks after donald trump signed the order. you should say that you choosing a trade war is surely the wrong prescription china will certainly make an appropriate and necessary response to trade. and easy to lose i'm convinced that increased terrorists will hurt us all in the long run but will defend our interests if need. be

a fence we are allies we work together we cannot possibly be a threat to national security in the u.s. so we are counting on being excluded a strike is. the united states that has no better ally than a strike there is no case for imposing tariffs on this trial in steel exports to the united states while economists case boy field says the new terms will hurt ordinary consumers. people who are really going to come out worse from this are american consumers including the u.s. military i mean they're importing a lot of steel for the u.s. defense budget from south korea and one of the reasons that trump has given for this policy is strategic defense reasons is so dumb it just doesn't add up. in terms of proportionate responses from the e.u. and china and so on i would argue in a lot of my colleagues would argue that it would be equally dumb for the e.u.

to impose tariffs on things like harley davidson motorbikes because again the people who come are worst of that of a come soon as being calculated for example that for every one job saved by this tariff in position for steel allow you minium in the united states the u.s. economy will actually lou lou five jobs that adds up to one hundred forty six thousand jobs that are a risk because of this policy by trump. well meanwhile the head of the cia has defended donald trump's plans to meet the leader of north korea kim jong un might pump a rose said the talks are not for fear sir but to solve the problem and the president himself is upbeat about the summit.

well the meeting if it does go ahead will be the first ever between the two countries heads of state and it would mark a dramatic turnaround after months of threats and insults between trump and kim. year of strategic patience. with the north korean regime has failed. to get a one. day. they will be met with by. the u.s. and the next the international community will stop this piece on the korean peninsula . and we can have

a mad man out there shooting rockets all over the place have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. russia. is on a suicide mission so no one from the suicide. he's a sick puppy. well meanwhile the u.s. government imposed a new round of sanctions against north korea on choose day and the white house insists the pressure is paying off what we know is that the mash maximum pressure campaign has clearly been effective for the first time in a long time the united states is actually having conversations from a position of strength not

a position of weakness like the one that north korea finds itself in due to the maximum pressure campaign however the people on the streets of new york have to frame views about who deserves the credit for this apparent. i think it's a win for north korea korea because they definitely approach about the issue and our president trump was being very icy amateur about the situation there to look good on times part because he's the first president i believe to meet with the north korean leader is better probably for north korea than it is for us a bit absolutely a victory for kim jong un this is an individual who has been the leader of his country for now i guess seven years but has been completely isolated he's never much another. world leader it leads to a whole host of unanswered questions and risks. the american president is offering what kim jong un wants most on the front end of

a process where we haven't yet achieved what we want most which is north korea's denuclearization. football hooligans clashed with riot police in the greek city of thessaloniki on sunday. that's part of the country super league funds of pac stream on a tough conto that riot police who responded with tear gas last week supporters invaded a t.v. studio after their team were docked three points for fun for highlands. europe is having to deal with the families of are still fighters returning from syria and iraq after the fall of the terror group france has unveiled plans to reintegrate them into schools but the move is causing concern do when school

reports from paris they just children innocent into a will to brutality. but while most children are playing with dolls and because these are being taught to play with guns and knives and some have even been trained to kill. well i mean it would depend on each individual to the cops of the caliphate i believe the cool would be actually trying the guns knives and how to kill people and not only that we have seen people being killed and of course that makes it some form of normality for the bitches because that means when they do that we'll be. right to go do something very similar to the real threat to society it's impossible to know just how many children have been brainwashed by myself but they have already started to

return home to germany belgium the netherlands meanwhile in france the authorities putting together a plan to reintegrate the returning children of jihadi s. the prime minister has said that sixty eight have already come back and many more are expected to follow programs to help these children readjust have been announced by governments across europe but is it too late to reverse the damage already done . the little children are not only victims but they're on the cusp of being forced into being perpetrators but in the video that we just saw are you seeing the sadism of the adults being played out through the children so there are destroying the mental capacity for the child to differentiate between reality and fantasy in normal

lives of murder the road ahead for these children she says is difficult and while there's no guarantee the therapy they receive will be successful she is hopeful if the child had a fairly good our emotional experience early the child will tend to be more resilient in coming through very severe trauma. that's one thing the other thing will be very much dependent on how well trained the therapists are governments in europe hope that by offering care and support to the children who return they can help them cast off the horrors they have in do it or even carried out and yet the risks still high that it might be too late to right the wrongs of children brainwashed and raised as i saw fighters shola deep in ski r.t.

paris. independence movement in catalonia shows no sign of dying down five months on from the referendum that was branded illegal by the spanish government. i. i. think thousands attended a rally in marcello on sunday people chanted their support for the for my cattle and put it on while he's currently in belgium and or face prosecution if he returns home they also demanded the release of local politicians jailed for their roles in last october's vote jonathan shafi from the radical independence campaign says the spanish government is failing to uphold democratic rights. i think what the spanish government is attempting to do is to grain people go and of course it's still not the number one weeks from now is to send troops and with local it seems soldiering

within them but always has been to try and strangle the movement by killing people using b.d.s. ministry to take weeks to strangle the possibility of establishing an end and we have to look at this and actually start to question what democracy really means and the european context i have not seen and not internationally which i across the european union when it comes to what's going on in past what it means not only because the situation on pitch and what you have in peace and you know you have championed us and joined the sanchez and even he. actually would be annoying to those that we don't and that had won a parliament even be able to leave the jail on monday to obtain the beat has been ruled by the spanish supreme court so one democracy is under attack you and barry or you suis and it's evident that the international community the e.u. and protect your rights to stand up on the state of democratic rights and it's not doing so pro kurdish rallies were held across europe on sunday against the turkish military offensive in northern syria.

the. god you. are one of the largest rallies took place in hamburg with activists carrying the flag of kurdistan crowds demanded an end to the turkish operation against kurdish fighters in syria's afrin region and there was a similar gathering in berlin with calls for the german government put pressure on ankara meanwhile in manchester in the u.k. demonstrators brought train services to hold piccadilly station dozens of procreative activists climbed down on to the railway tracks several were arrested. now this week saw the one hundred days to go mass train passed in the countdown to

the twenty eighteen football world cup r.t. has been building its own team our football legends to host our special coverage of the tournament for when liverpool striker stan collymore and former manchester united goalkeeper peter schmeichel are already on board and this week r.t. announced another world class signing. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of alternatives but there was one more question by the way was going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to go meet the center of the beach but probably with you and you go through all the great game the great game you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going left go. alone and does that worry you and i'm really happy to join the for the two thousand

and three the world cup in russia. this special was it was also appreciated me to just say the review the r.t. team's latest edition may go up as we go certainly better jersey look. well merinos nickname the special one stems from a phrase he used when he first arrived at chelsea in two thousand and four and is still in just these currently the manager of manchester united and one of my successful coaches able to mine he's won eight domestically titles and the european champions league twice. it really is an incredible add on to the program to the show that we can bring someone of his stature in the knowledge that he has a football he couldn't he can come in from a coach manages perspective and actually. put a little bit of spice on a football match. i think i wish football stadiums for like this when i play that

brilliant assembly and you get an idea about how the atmosphere will be and that they're all in in around the same kind of theme but they're all very different as well variant of it one one looks like a u.f.o. than another one i said the stadium is such you look like a cake. i've been to all the eleven cities yet we will finish or that within the next three weeks. but what i've experienced of everything has run smoothly and everything is really well organized so my my my advice is to to relax a little bit about the things that we see every day in the western media and then enjoy it. but it isn't just the teams and the fun so they're preparing for the world cup at the aquarium in sochi the dolphins and the sea lions have also been getting in on the action showing some nifty little schools there perhaps a bit too much diving for the purists if they get. back in just about half an hour

with the week's top stories but from what we're in the meantime. we're going to walk you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles but go. to sox for the tell you that would be gossip to the public but i fell. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. that we along with all forty one. the legacy of the communist era has left i'm assuming a lot of of the legacy waste as well i'm assuming again from my understanding of

the soviet era that there was much more of a culture of a reuse and not throwing things away that i think the society that emerged out of that tends to reject so it's a matter of moving back to that. previously

on the great american told. a joke blue we made of the word of the boy. who. actually were and buzzards bay. hey everybody i'm stephen baldwin gosh i want to ask hollywood guy usual suspects every movie proud american first of all i'm dressed as george washington and r.v. enthusiastic uncle steve to me is a good story the big boy goes this is my buddy max the famous financial guru and will he's a little bit different i understand your abraham lincoln hard there were no windows up last but not least my larger than life. the night an aspiring star rio with all the drama happening in our creek. country i'm hitting the road to have some fun. meet every day americans who are calling. what's america. suffered and see how

things got so crazy i was naked. right finger on coaxingly start to bridge the gap this is the great american pilgrim each. day. welcome to the great american pilgrimage finale extravaganza with your host stephen stevie bald. so here's the coolest part of the great american pilgrimage it started out as an experiment where like you see me now i was sitting in a mirror dressed like this my hair was not done as well mind you but that's ok. in that foreshadowing i saw the great american pilgrimage and i said to myself stevie bit could you just get an r.v.

and get the dogs along with everybody stick perfect on camera and back to one and the tree out and sit. there a good that's daring. and head on out across this great land i didn't think you could add another task to what you do while driving but eating soup while patting your dog while texting while driving while talking on a fallen probably new record multitasking while driving on the highway i want to build a bridge but telling me anything is possible. in the wake of this most radical political events which was this last presidential election it's caused such angsty and division so for me. i've always believed in the hope of america i've always believed in the opportunity of america most of all always believed in the freedom of america.

i'm not feeling that funny but absolutely now so how do we go out start a conversation let it be a lot of fun because i think everybody next with laughter i went out there and i utilized my own unique brilliant genius sense of comedy. and i use that. to heal a nation. now that hasn't always worked out for me. is today freer day. they say this. is the mood all you guys ride some really cool gnarly big machines we figured from our friends at def digital cash we bring

in our own heavy artillery stuff. squally wins by a sam slide. and from there. start to create a dialogue create a conversation but do a lot more listening and have a willingness to not be in a hurry to be so judgmental whoever it is i'm talking to but rather listen and learn about who they are and then see where the conversation goes from there and that's where it goes to you guys out there or all you pilgrims around the world that have jaw and this conversation whenever there is a question in america whenever there is. an injustice that needs to be uncovered there always is a people the people behind a pilgrimage a movement and certain inalienable rights. that i say that right is it in and label

or an elite because the very back of my head from what i've heard and like important people sailing on. our own are in fairly able writes like you know i mean in illian who do i see in alien in iliad will. say not on inhalable who would like to see it again in illian a bill that's not a you say it in alium in the bowl well if you want to talk about it in a really able. i mean even if the word means put max is in alien how does a green flip work. synthesis that takes into our been its parts oxygen. we are breathing clip art every moment with max is a best max moment spirit animal spare the local flora leave office five four so it's a pop up about the pop pop max is just not going to

be told how to do or not to be max. mainstage here the best of the best festival in corpus christi. right now they've got a. beautiful i want it out of those mexican mexican dresses and if tell me what that is i'm a visitor here what am i looking at you know could you help me answer just dancers because that smacks baby maybe allister it could be the spark. a great american pilgrimage to the great american revolutionary declaration of. war against all the conflicts the lists the kleptocracy the cactus stocker see. yeah they catch a stocker see rule by the least qualified now we can talk about stuff that's not in the show right when we set out to do the great american pilgrimage we made

a plan it turns out that the plan really just couldn't be done down in venice with screw up the cows in coffee shop and we're meeting this holocaust survivor and we're getting ready to have an interview with him and we set it all up it's really wonderful to meet you take this and this one here with your heart ok. let's meet in a sixty if we listen. and knowledge ninety eight. at. the bed he had out. and then this little children's kind of sing song. play date kind of yoga session broke out which i guess is quite normal here on the west coast you see right here in hollywood downstairs. do we have any of the footage of me spilling the coffee on . awkward to see there were some hiccups

during the great american pilgrimage never know what might break loose or. change. but do i mean anyway. i don't know do you. do you change it. so what we're doing what is this what are we doing this is reading what you tube comments into. which brings me to the first comment from some of you tubers is that what you call the kids today you tubers right because i know over at our team which is our network of distribution our russia today they're big with the you tube as well those folks they like the you tube r.t. does and apparently the youtube likes us. on and we see those

so these are important here's what i see. you know me so you know i can see that it was dark. in the moment. the reason i'm the leader. is in their food rooted in shit you've. been waiting for this excellent baldwin is a sandwich short of a picnic. this person is already a pilgrim they have joined the pilgrimage they understand they get it and we thank you welcome here's another comment from one of the youtube kids it says good should go with people doing their jobs and asking questions great idea using original media concepts so here's a person that really has captured the vision of the great american code.

so i like that comment that's a nice one i prefer thank you dennis. here's another you tube observation and a comment when i ran for public office that was part of my theory that if there were more dialogue between individuals across all walks of life. that true healing of a community could occur now there's a pilgrimage people i'm not interested in my opinion i'm interested in learning from other people's opinions going around the country talking to regular people but we're having fun with a little that not all and on the left hey that's the hot blonde that's the only and this show is that conversation and that is the inspiration. for the great american pilgrimage. can't pronounce this person's name a s. a scindia us so this you tube years observation is up that is norway

l.o.l. i haven't laughed like that in weeks good job guys. read the what's the monument we went to look at feet at the mt rushmore and i get out of the r.v. and we walk by this tour bus and we see this flag on the desk boarded the bus tour bus check this look at that. concert and there was a real moment i consider and i go oh my conscious is a tour bus of people on some kind of confederate flag tour. and i pointed that out to max who explained to me that it was not the confederate flag now that is norway . this youtube question and comments is simply is that stephen baldwin. here's another you tube comment right now it says desk.
